Remember when nobody thought it was REAL, though? Pretty shameful!

I've never (knowingly) heard anything from this album except for "Technologic." Seems like a good day to check it out lol

WOW The Prime Time of Your Life GOES. The way it keeps speeding up I feel like I've just railed two full grams of blow. I think I love this album already

Ok Robot Rock, I see why people rag on this record for being repetitive, but it seems like the absolute right choice for music this loud and scuzzy

Yes! I really really love this. So elegant. Just that primitive drum machine, piano(!), a lil palm-muted guitar, and a lonely vocoded robot crooning off in the distance.

Yes. I love it. Crazy that it took Daft Punk breaking up to get me to listen to this album. Thanks, robots. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

it was really funny how this album leaked a year in advance and pretty much everyone assumed it was fake
― frogbs, Monday, 22 February 2021 20:25 (five years ago)
I’m not crazy about this album but it’s much better than that not dissimilar Ed banger/justice/digitalism crap that was going on
― brimstead, Monday, 22 February 2021 20:44 (five years ago)
Justice was the worst

LOL, I had forgotten about this. The reaction was almost uniformly negative but they didn't change anything.

This can't be right. Why would they have recorded it in just a few weeks (and it sounded like it) just to sit on it for over a year?
― nashwan, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 13:25 (five years ago)
Yeah, I don't recall it leaking a year in advance. It only leaked like a month or two in advance, as was common at the time.
But he is right on a lot of people thinking the leak was fake. The fact that P2P networks were full of fake versions of Discovery tracks where parts just looped over and over again didn't help either.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 13:32 (five years ago)
Also this is kinda shown in this very topic, where things were leaked around the time I remember them being leaked.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 13:45 (five years ago)
fake versions of Discovery tracks where parts just looped over and over again
hard to tell the difference tbf

Well you can tell something is wrong with your version of Harder Faster Better Stronger if it never gets to the fun breakdown sections which are the best part.

The hugely anticipated follow up to the French electro duo’s masterpiece Discovery leaked months ahead of its intended release. Daft Punk has been subject to fake album leaks throughout their releases, the most memorable being the numerous fake Tron soundtrack leaks. Interestingly enough, some of those leaks, although fake, were pretty impressive. The problem with the Human After All album leak was that a lot of fans thought it was fake due to the fact that it wasn’t up to the same quality as Daft Punk’s previous releases. As a reviewer from Sputnik put it:“Most fans did not believe that it was actually Human After All, many fans warned others not to download the leak because it was a fake. They proclaimed it sounded too cheap and dirty to be the real thing, and that the sound just did not fit Daft Punk at all. Little did they know, they were listening to the real thing.”

Album is front-loaded to fuck. Love the first three tracks but there are some draggy, too long songs on here that don't really do anything much. The overall sound is very hot and compressed. It works in certain situations (title track), others it's just a bit "ecchhh was this a mistake or done on purpose"? I know they used a lot of guitar effects and stuff on these tunes, and you can tell - it's got a gritty, overdriven vibe that sort-of works, but sort-of doesn't.
Too many tracks have potential but sound unfinished. Some might like the unfussy, unpolished approach, but compared to the perfection of Discovery, there's a tossed-off feel to a lot of these.
"Steam Machine" is ploddy and boring. "Make Love" is pretty but sounds like a stripped-down off-cut from Discovery. "The Brainwasher" is Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' played on an Atari DOS Tracker and again doesn't do enough in its 4 minute run."On/Off" completely pointless, even as a filler track."Television Rules The Nation" isn't bad, but we didn't need a song about TV being the opiate of the masses even back in 2005. "Technologic" sounds like it was written especially for a TV ad, and I'm pretty sure it was (but the Basement Jaxx version is AMAAAAAZING). "Emotion" is okay but like "Too Long", it's too long and the hot, over-compressed fuzziness doesn't suit the vibe.
