I think its fucking brilliant, after all the shit its got its no turned out bad. Its a good cross between homework and discovery but with less vocals. The use of guitars is really good.

I have had my doubts about this album at firs, but I am going to have to side with ACID this time and agree with him, I put it on a while back when we got in after a night out and it is really is good in a party atmosphere.

So HAA has been released in your countries and here, fucking Italy, it has not yet... I agree with who says it is a melange from homework and discovery and the quality is not so high... few layers and few progression

I unfortunately have to agree with anType and his review posted on Discogs. You don't like hearing a bad loop of 20 seconds being repeated again and again ? You don't like hearing the same vocoder sound* in each track ? This CD isn't for you. It has no personality - at least not one that you can be proud of.
The only track I can bear is Emotion.
Amazingly disappointing.
* = Don't know if I described it well, it's the first sound you hear in The Prime Time Of Your Life... Then in Human After All, Technologic, Robot Rock (probably the only thing that makes it different from Breakwater's original song by the way), and co...

its odd
anType sent me Make Love and TV Rules The Nation, i thourouhgly enjoyed them but agrred they lacked a certain depth. I got the album today and was pleasently suprised, but there is still that lacking. Prime Time Of Your Life would be an amazing track if only it went somewhere!! I think someone just needs to add just one more layer to each track, maybe extend, re-arrange and make it slightly less repetative and it would be perfect. untill then id say its a good album, not a fantastic album.

I think its average.
There are a couple of good tracks on it imo, Human after all and TV rules the nation. Robot rock and Make love are ok but very repetitive.
I think Daft Punk have run out of ideas; on most tracks on the album they have got so far with a good idea and then thought "shit, what next?" and then just repeated the loop for about 3 minutes. This is probably the most repetitive album I have heard, and its only 45 mins long! 8O
Its difficult for me to explain this really but whilst the album retains the daft sound, the melodies sound like they have been done before by another artist.
However, I think the album will appeal to a lot of people, particular people who enjoy commercialised dance music, read into that what you will ;-).
