I've heard this before, but I've decided to give it some more attention. Interested in people's opinions on it here.

i would say this is a great album, but i probably hear it as interstella 5555 as much as by itself.

i'd say it's inbetween good and great, but not as good as homework.

Homework for me is their best, but Discovery is definitely nothing to sneeze at.

I can never hear Daft Punk without thinking of shirtless men and gay bars.

I have arrived at my own verdict: Pretty overrated/merely OK.

Just as I suspected, I guess, but I really have been trying to give it a fair chance. I used to love Homework.

The first track on here, "One More Time", is just flat out awful. I'm sure it deserves to shoulder a large portion of the blame for the proliferation of Auto-Tuned "robot voice" pop. There are some pretty good tracks here and there, I guess, but just about anything with vocals on here is incredibly irritating.

I'm relistening to this today, and yeah there are some moments in which I'm genuinely moved, but overall it just doesn't have the swagger of Homework.
