I haven't heard the album but maybe that will be an advantage, now I'm curious!! Really hope the album isn't bad though...it seems even some people who liked Discovery don't dig this album :(.
EVEN???Men, Discovery was beautifull piece of really undergrund house!!!!!!And personally more powerfull and dancy and just better that Homework. Homework is too slow and boring to mee. But if i may compare the newest album of Daft Punk, i compare this to Homework, because it's more experimental music like their first work. It's almost UN-DANCY!!!!Most of tracks are...instrumental pieces...hmmm, experimental, weird. But i still think this is joke. I don't believe Virgin release some sort of THIS stuff. Most peopples know that Virgin LOVE money!!!And they don't make a lot of money releasing something like this. A think this is something like pre-test pressing or maybe even demo-promo(promo with demos of the songs) cd on the net.

I think there are one or two "okay" tracks on Human After All...but the rest just doesn't work for me. I didn't really like Homework, but Discovery is one of my all time favorites. This new album is by far my least favorite of the three.

Review from DJ (Part one):
In a year that's already promising big hitting LP's, Daft Punk are making their long awaited return with their third album, 'Human After All', in March, Djmag went to an invite-only playback at Fabric to grab a sneak preview.
Recorded in just six weeks between last September and November, Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homen Christo say the album is "fresh sounding while retaining the Daft Punk sound". We don't have a tracklisting, but according to our spies the album opens with 'Human After All', which involves a surge of chopped beats that transforms into synthesised guitars and trademark vocoders. It revisits Daft Punk's trademark formulas. But even at this early stage there are noticeable differences and the production is crispier, somewhere between the polish of 'Discovery' and the have-a-go slap dash of 'Homework'.
This is followed with more scrambled beats as 'The Prime Of Your Life' kicks in, harking further back to their original sound as the tempo accelerates off the dancefloor into oblivion. It's clear their cut and paste frivolity has returned.

Review from DJ (Part two):
Moving onto the dance rock hybrid of 'Robot Rock' (rumoured to be the first single), they produce something that?s a little too close to 'Eye Of The Tiger' for comfort. But any doubts are soon waved by the first album high point. Pulling out their most acidic track since 'Da Funk', 'Steam Machine' introduces rhythmic experimentalism that balances on the edge of danceability.
Twisting through the mood change of 'Make Love' - a looped melodic interlude that sounds closer to Kieran Hebden than the Punks - we're thrown back into a thudding four-four with 'The Brainwasher', probably the heaviest DP release to date.
'Television Rules The Nation' sets the ubiquitous vocoder against a chunky Tiefschwarz/Black Strobe-like bassline, followed by a Pink & Perky rap refrain that builds to the second LP high point, 'Technologic' , a pounding terrace anthem of the DJ Sneak 'Fix My Sink' variety.
Finally the album trails off with a trippy melodic loop of 'Emotion', underpinned with a voluminous bassline that threatens to disinter Fabric's foundations.

Tom and Guy Manuel have lost some of their polish, suffered a few late nights and are sounding a little rough around the edges. Maybe it's because they've discovered underground music exists after all. But whatever the cause, Daft Punk are bang back on form.
---------------------------------------
i apoligise for having to split it all up, the full thing wouldnt fit for some reason :?
sounds good though, im quite excited now. comparing Robot Rock to Eye Of The Tigger tho! whats going on there!!
