HAA has so much potential and great ideas in it, but the album is completly looped to death!!! I would really love to see thomas and guy remix their own album, and actually put some blood sweat and tears into it. Daft Punk is still really really good....they just got really really lazy
I'm not sure they were THAT much lazier than Discovery (which I really like), I just think that the endless loops worked better with disco sounds than rock guitar sounds. Robot Rock works, despite the endless looping, because the production is PERFECT.
Like you say, there is a lot of potential. The Brainwasher, for example, sounds like it's about to burst..... but then just goes nowhere. If they'd busted into a massive breakbeat section a couple minutes in, that would be one of the tracks of the year at the least. I think the songs on here are perfect tools for creative DJs who can work them into diverse sets. I think the 4/4 approach fails on most tracks, as the endless loops need to lead into some breakbeat.
