Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Since their internationally acclaimed debut in 1997, any album release by French duo Daft Punk is heralded with a sigh of relief as it always seems like an eternity since the last one. Four years on from Discovery, the title Human After All might give the impression that they've hung up their robot suits and dumped their vocoder in the Seine--but nothing could be further from the truth. Like its predecessor it's laden with analogue synths, robot voices and guitars but gone is the bubbly pop sensibility of Discovery, it being replaced by a darker, angrier sound from start to finish. A fine example of said anger is the first single, "Robot Rock", a hugely danceable, body poppin' groove with a funky lead melody over stabbing guitar chords. Even more aggressive is the albums most "rockin" tune, the sinister "Brainwasher"--harsh, threatening and best all, the intro sounds like a homage to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". Like the aforementioned, most of the nine songs (and one interlude) are upbeat with the exception of "Make Love" and "Emotion", two gentler, chillout tunes that provide a good breather from the manic loops of everything else. It's been said that this album "sounds like an army of angry violent robots on the march" which is a fairly accurate description. For any Homework fans put off by the chirpiness of Discovery, the raw edge of Human... will win them back in droves. --David Trueman Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Great......After all!Right, im not going to go on about how this album passed many people by, mainly because I was one of those people! I picked it up from the bargain bin at my local HMV. And was impressed, as many previous reviews have stated this is a real grower and more similar in style to homework. Simply put if you own the previous two Daft Punk albums you should buy it, listen to it, and love it. Just as I did. Rating:  - Human MusiqueIt's worth comparing the careers of near contemporary bands Daft Punk and Air. Both French, both innovators in electronic music and both having critically acclaimed first albums in Homework and Moon Safari. But where Air seemed to have disappeared into their own vagueness, Daft Punk last hit the studio in 2005, to produce a third album that returns to their roots, an experimental fusion of electro, disco and house. Recorded in Paris in six weeks, Human After All is a short, idiosyncratic album unlikely to win them new fans. Experimental means it doesn't always work. Some tracks on here are practically unlistenable, consisting of short loops repeated ad nauseum. For example, it's hard to see the audience for Robot Rock. ... Read More: Rating:  - Live Tool MasterpieceWhilst I can understand some listeners' concerns that a few of the tracks on this album can become a bit repetitive - or may even appear sketchy in some respects - I believe that the style of 'Human After All' is simply indicative of a shift in direction by the duo, much like 'Discovery' was a change in direction from the raw approach of 'Homework'. Being a 'Homework' fan, I'm glad that in many respects Daft Punk have returned to their roots in what Mr A. Jack called an "instrumental" direction, as apposed to the "lyrical" style of their second album. However, what has struck me most about 'Human After All' is that it appears to be a stylistic bridge between their first and second albums. It is instrumental, but the sounds have matured since ... Read More: Rating: - My personal Favourite.This album represents the electronic side of Daft Punk, with many instrumentals, as opposed to the lyrical style of Discovery. The standout tracks are: Technologic, Human After All and Robot Rock. Rating: - THE most under-rated album...EVER!many people hate this album, and i can sort of see why, because its different to their other albums; but songs like robot rock, prime time of your life, technologic, and television rules the nation are sublime tracks...and dont even start me on human after all-arguably one their best songs ever. yes its darker, edgy, and different to their previous 2 albums, but they have matured, changed and improved... in conclusion a must for any Daft Punk fan, and a must for any electro fan!! |
