What do you think of their new album? I think 80% of the tracks are really cheesy disco crap! "High Life" rocks the planet, though!!

from what i've heard of it, it sounds a bit formulaic, same old, same old, i havent heard it all properly yet but on first glance it didnt seem too special, sorry to say it wont be very high on my must have list.

DogsBLX: well, "cheesy" and "disco" often go hand-in-hand. for some, they're often paired with "crap" too so it all comes down to personal preference, right?
that being said, i personally like their sense of humor and they have a real way about crafting memorable "pop" moments and hooks without making their music de facto pop.
phiz: after reading what you've written, there's a certain bit of irony in the title of their single, "One More Time", isn't there :-)?
take care all.

Torley, i was thinking that when i heard it, and when you see the video for One More Time it looks like at the end they are being killed off, so maybe it marks a new direction after this release.
and their website looks good, they are going to put up tunes as and when they feel, a good idea for mp3 use.

phiz: thank you for informing me, i haven't been keeping up-to-date with Daft Punk's media coverage, i've only listened to their new Discovery CD.
i think they'll always be true to their name in some way tho. figuratively, of course, as in "crazy rebelliousness"!

torley, i've heard you get special access to the Daft Punk club(access to unreleased tunes and stuff) through the CD.
i think there's an ineractive part to the CD of the Album. i've only heard the album via Napster(naughty, naughty) ;O}

Phiz> there's some sort of an 'eurocard-mastercard'that comes with the cd, and the number on that card is your codeword for the 'very special daft punk fan site.....i know this because a friend of mine came up with the album.....i find it quite cheezyyyyy..........

I've heard Faster Better Stronger and a couple of others, and I think they're cool. But I bought the first album on the strength of Da Funk, and the rest wasn't nearly as good. I hope they haven't filled the album with lame disco padding again.
How about Mirwais? Same kind of area, but better from what I've heard.

phiz: yah, thanks, a friend told me that too but it doesn't seem to be accessible from a Mac like the one i use. maybe i'll get it to work someday :-).
Id Lab: i'll agree with you there. i like Daft Punk's hooks more this time out, i personally didn't care for tracks on their last album like "Phoenix" and "Funk Ad" (basically just "Da Funk" in reverse... gosh). and the video for "Fresh", i think it was, was hilarious!
Mirwais, in my humble opinion, is better off working with Madonna. i won't say the same for William Orbit all the time, but he is a good collaborator (and with Beth Orton too).

I got this album after seeing the first two videos. I have alwasy liked Daft Punk, but this album provided me with some more to think about. If you've seen the first video (and maybe the second) you see a story unfolding. I was driving a long distance, and tried to figure out the rest of the storyline from the music, and I think I know the general gist of the story. I personally like Disco (hell, I bought DJ Dimitri's stuff) and a good bass line. The last real album that I liked was The Fragile, because of the way the album flowed. This album has the same momentum. Everything from the classic 80 early techno stuff, to the 70's classic synth rock and disco, maybe I would call them the lords of loop.

I like this band very much . Discovery is a good album, but Human After All sucks.

A Best Of, Musique, is coming out early April. There's one version with only the one CD and another with a CD & DVD. Nice.
Homework + Discovery=Classic Human After All=Good ideas + Boring repetitiveness
