Human After All (2005)

Buy from Amazon.com

Daft Punk might have joked if they called their album "Human After All". I absolutely don't understand where the humans on this album are! This is absolutely mechanized and lifeless album. All its music is continuous hoarse and howling synthesized parts looped over the same theme and mixed with totally straightforward beats. Voices crippled by vocoder repeat the titles of tracks again and again, without end. Only two tracks gave hope to me - "Make Love" and "Emotion". They're a bit more quite against the rest of the album, but anyway they have made the same way - it's a looped piece of melody, an iterative rhythm, and the same vocoder again. Thus, a word "human" is inserted in the album's name absolutely wrongly - it would be hard to listen to even for robots. Crudely and slovenly, it's very likely destined to hurt the ears.
