Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The French duo featuring Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem recorded the album at their home studio in Paris between September and November 2004. Virgin.

Amazon.com

You'd never guess from Human After All that these are the same guys who came up with the opulent dance grooves of 2001's Discovery. On Human After All it sounds like Daft Punk's robotic alter egos have finally gotten the upper hand and made an album that is defiantly free of emotion and personality. Instead, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo amp up the irony and deliver a set of songs that are maddeningly repetitive, raucous and bound to test the most devoted fan's patience. But even as the French duo short-circuits it manages to captivate--the spoken-word "Technologic" and the digitized "The Prime Of Your Life" are just bananas enough to make its euphoric hit "One More Time" sound positively last century. --Aidin Vaziri

A twist

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2012

This is a great disc while not Top 40 material it does have some catchy beats. I picked this up after listening to Daft Punks' Alive release numerous times which included some of the material off this release. All of the tracks are artfully crafted.

-Human After All offers a repetitive robotic voice saying "we are human after all", "After all", "Flesh uncovered", and "Human". The catchy music underneath all those robotic voices is what makes this track so great.

- The Prime Time Of Your Life offers the same robotic voice like Human after all but of course this time they are saying "Prime time of your life" and the track starts out as a slow repetition of the robotic voice then quickly picks up pace.

- Robot Rock is, in my opinion, what makes this album pull the listener in a little more with a robotic voice repeating "Robot Rock". This is a really great track.

- Steam Machine is a man saying at a low voice "Steam Machine" while the track moves along.

- Make Love is just an instrumental with the music fading in and playing on and then slowly fading out. Its a really mellow track.

- The Brainwasher is the track that throws you back into the loud bass and makes you feel a bit more primal. Very catchy I must say.

-ON/Off is just someone switching the channels like we have all done when there isn't anything on TV but it lends itself to the next track.

- Television rules the nation slowly comes in and repeats the title in their signature robot voice plays for a bit and then slowly fades out. This is a really great track.

- Technologic starts off with a techno tongue twister robot voice and continues on with another robotic voice joining in saying "yeah yeah" Very catchy track.

- Emotion is another amazing track but at a slower speed like Make Love, very smooth and mellow. A great track to close out the album.

Personally I loved the robotic voice that was going on with most of the tracks. This disc is smooth with a bit of roughness like The Brainwasher but still an amazing disc. It's one to add to the collection. Daft Punk keeps their music fresh so that your not listening to the same thing as the previous album like so many artists do so that fans aren't disappointed.

Wonderful Album, almost as good as discovery

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012

First off, if you bought Discovery or Musique or a previous Daft Punk album, you will love this album. However, if this is your first album and you have only listened to a small amount of their music, you may not like it. Why? Let's just say it has a few songs that are acquired tastes, like caviar!
Pros and cons on a CD?! (yeah I know)
Pros
-Such great dance music
-Cool black CD that you can only read if you deflect light on it.

Cons
-Acquired taste(could be a pro for a yuppie or somebody like that)
-Not as good as Discovery
-Album cover isn't as cool as Discovery! (Hah not really a con)

Now I know I put 3 cons and 2 pros, but trust me, this album is worth it if you've liked Daft Punk for a while.

I was told that this would come a week later, but it came in earlier than it said, so that's cool I guess. That aside, though, this is a great album with such great songs on it. Better than Discovery or any of the other albums? Probably not, but hey, it's still Daft Punk, it's still gonna be a great experience anyway.

I'm somewhat new to daft punk, and I was a little concerned about the mixed reviews this album has gotten, but I liked it. It may be because I don't have a history with Daft Punk and I'm getting to explore their whole catalog at once.

Just Great!

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

Killer.

I've read reviews of people who think the songs have too many repetitive elements. That's part of what hooked me on this album. This album is a statement on what we are. Our society drowns in a repetitive lifestyle. "Technologic" is a prime example of our repetitive lifestyles enhanced by modern technology. "Television Rules the Nation," yes it does. People often relate to one another through their interest in television shows and news. The main reason I love this album is the vocoding and the synthesizers. In this album repetitive rules.

Should Have Done More Research

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2013

I am not usually into this kind of music - but I like to keep my tastes eclectic. I enjoy listening to a wide variety of music and having an unbiased opinion of all music genres. I purchased this album off an Amazon recommendation for my tastes after previewing the tracks. At first glance, I really enjoyed the hooks that I previewed, but after hearing the entire songs I realized I was not in as much love with the album as I had originally thought. The track that put me over the edge for purchase was "Robot Rock" which I do still enjoy. "Technologic" is pretty cool to listen to as well.

It's a little too repetitive for me, repetitive for me, repetitive for me - the tracks lack substance and don't really go anywhere. If you like that then you should be squared-away with this one. I don't feel too bad as the album was only $5 - perspective, but I probably should have just bought 1 or 2 tracks.

Daft Punk Does it Again

Another really good album by Daft Punk. It has a little less tracks than most of their albums but it’s still a solid listen. My only complaint is that the little teeth that hold the CD in place broke soon after opening the case but other than that, a great purchase.

Inhaltlich kann ich da nichts bemängeln. Auch das Design des Covers ist ganz nett, dehalb kommts auch direkt ins Regal. Die CD hat ein paar Extras dabei. Der Media Player bekommts hin die CD zu spielen und normale CD Player auch, beim VLC Player hatt ich aber doch Probleme. Also nicht wundern, wenn da nicht sofort die Musik zu finden ist :)
