This sounds like something off that fucking Prodigy album. The only saving grace is a distant reminder and faraway scent of Daft Punk on the breeze.

THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE TRUE GUITARIST OF OUR TIME ON THIS ALBUM

I'm just mystified by the horror here, that's all. (haha, "Rage Against The Machine" cover? anything with lots of guitar = RATM I guess.)
And yeah, those two Discovery singles sounded like they had emulated Yngwie solos, totally!
― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link
And I have heard Rage Against The Machine, many songs, like most young people probably have. The tempo and the way the guitar is looped over an almost hiphop beat sounds so like RATM! I was rooting around my brain for "what does this sound like" and I first thought "WWF music" then "Rage Against The Machine".

It's a fucking loop! It's only barely electronic in the dance sense, it's got no pop sensibility and it's too calm to be techno.

You guys do know that the new Daft Punk features two songs with Dennis DeYoung on vocals, right?
― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:31 (nineteen years ago) link
Except for the 'too calm' part, that describes a good chunk of Homework and many songs after the first four on Discovery, like "Crescendolls" and others. Are you a fan of Daft Punk albums, or just the singles, then?

Discovery is pop through and through. This is middlebrow Prodigy style bad dance/hiphop.
And this is the single, jesus this is the band who did "One More Time", "Digital Love", Bangalter did "Music Sounds Better With You". There is NO EMOTIONAL CONTENT WHATSOEVER in Robot Rock and no physical connection either.
I just feel bad, cos I am sure 90 percent of the Discovery fans are gonna be gutted when they hear this track, I really hope the album is better.
― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link
Cos to me "Robot Rock" is extremely accessible, just boring.
― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link
well, i wouldn't expect anything "EMOTIONAL" from a song called "Robot Rock" necessarily, but no physical connection? Please. I was nodding my head even to this camcorder bootleg video of the song.. I'm sure a good remix here and there would make this roolz the skoolz (as long as it doesn't follow in the tradition of the quality of remixers they had recently.)

It was for the first four songs. Not the entire album though, by ANY means.
This is middlebrow Prodigy style bad dance/hiphop.
I'm not going to comment on this... where to start.
― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:44 (nineteen years ago) link
Comment away, but Daft Punk doing a "serious" record is waking up from the dream as far as I'm concerned.

I guess you didn't think much of Homework then? I like the first album, but it does sound more like it fits the more "serious" traditional electronic/house/techno album niche moreso than Discovery.

I was thinking about this just now, as Mark said, if there was a decent drum beat and other stuff maybe this could be good, dance music production is a subtle thing, god knows, but I am not feeling that sample anyway.
magnify the bass drum to the point where it really sounds like getting smacked in the face and maybe the record would begin to sound kind of "wacky", in a good way.
yes of course we have to wait but for now let's ARGUE ABOUT THE SAMPLE WE HAVE.
