Free Music Notes for Human After All
Free Music Review: Misunderstood
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, I glad I purchased this album on a whim and avoided being tainted by any of the many negative reviews floating around. Very few seem to get Daft Punk's latest exploration of house. It is hard to take any of the major 'zines critics seriously when the song one claims as "trite satire of their own repetitive nature" the next claims as "the only worthy song on the album." It appears one man's garbage may very well be another man's treasure.
Really if you don't get this album, you probably don't get Daft Punk. If you only like Discovery, then you probably just like disco, not Daft Punk. If you only like Homework, you probably just like floor-pounding beats, not Daft Punk. From acid-house to disco-house to minimalist-house, Daft Punk won't play the same card twice.
Daft Punk is art, not really daft nor punk. Or maybe, both.
Free Music Review: Very Human Indeed
Hit: 5 Stars
There are only a few bands in the world someone could listen to, and immediately know the song belonged to them. Daft Punk is one of them.
The band continues with their signature robot inspired vocals and ultramodern computer programming, but what is strikingly different here is that the tracks on here are more repetitive as compared to ones on Homework and Discovery - and it is exactly this quality that makes this album strangely so much more profound than the earlier two releases.
All 10 tracks on Human After All portray a multitude of different emotions, which the French duo obviously want us to experience through repetition of sounds for 4 minutes or so that each track lasts for.
Not as mainstream or accessible as the previous two releases, but a stunner nevertheless.

Do you remember when you first picked up Homework? I put it in my car stereo, and frankly didn't quite know what to think. What was all the hype about?? (I asked myself). Well that little creeper warmed it's way into my heart and my booty, eventually becoming one of my all time favorites. I remember partys where certain tracks (you know which) brought the house DOWN. It was like a bomb hit. Although I just bought Human After All, let's try and understand that everyone's favorite house/techno outfit is human. Let's all us old-schoolers (and not you playa haters) give this one a chance. I think it will need more than 1 or 2 listens, but you may find yourself utterly surprised.Free Music Review: Third Time's a Charm...
Hit: 5 Stars
On my first listen, I thought to myself, "Bollocks! What the heck is going on here?!" On my second listen, I ended liking a track or two. By the third listen, I couldn't explain it, but I was hooked! I am predominently a trance and house person, so I really enjoyed the previous Daft Punk albums. This is a great departure from their previous works but surprisingly, the more techno-esque feel to the album works! It is bold and I love the noise and the organized chaos they have encapsulated in the songs...
My only real qualm with the album is the "Make Love" track which appears randomly in the middle. The change in tone and pace disrupted my listening groove!
Free Music Review: Just Great!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is easily my favorite Daft Punk album so far. While it is in general slower-paced than earlier albums, the songs have more depth and crazy vocals and synth. Heck it seems to tell a story left up to interpretation. So many of my favorite songs are here, but sadly the ride that is this album is over far too quickly. There are only 10 songs, though with the 19-second length of "On/Off" it really boils down to 9. A must-have for any Daft Punk or techno listener.
My favorite tracks by appearance order:
1. Human After All
2. The Prime Time Of Your Life
3. Robot Rock
8. Television Rules The Nation
9. Technologic
