MIT's radio show French Toast has been playing other tracks from the album, not as edgy as their older stuff but quite good. Get Lucky is catchy but a little repetitive.

I had the opposite reaction. I quite like Get Lucky, but the other songs from the album felt really bland without anything that made them memorable. Not even worth pirating... No offense.

I also would have liked Get Lucky to have more of Daft Punk in it. As it is, I can only tell it is a DP song the last half minute of so when the vocoder section starts.

It appears to be a concept album about humans reaching their full potential (the stars) and is uplifting in general if not edgy. I compare it to Flaming Lips album Yoshimi. Even in Get Lucky there is a double meaning of up all night working on something and up all night to party, both equally valid.
It's a formulaic little disco song. It's calculated soulless pop. I don't get the appeal.
