On the plus, the remixes off this album are going to be sick.

Colonel Whitey posted:Just curious, what was the general initial response to HAA? Did it start this positive and then cool off? Or was everyone pretty cool to it on first listen? I kind of got in after Alive 2007 happened, but from what I can tell, the common opinion on Human After All went from "this is too repetitive" to "yeah, I guess that makes sense" after Alive happened. I still personally enjoy the album, but I don't think there was ever a rabid fanbase for HAA.

I literally want to have sex with this album. This need to be listen to on the couch with a big glass of Scotch. Well, that's what I'll do tonight (sex and couch). This could dethrone Discovery in my opinion.

I just wish the whole album was in the same vein as contact. That's all I wanted. That said, the panda bear collab track is kinda rad.

It took until Alive 2007 for people to really warm up to Human After All. Haha, wow. I knew opinion of it was pretty low until Alive 07, but I wasn't sure whether people tried to convince themselves they liked it at first. I guess not.

I can't add anything constructive to this thread other than agreeing with "holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this album." Contact is goddamn amazing (I made the mistake and played it first as well.)

I get the feeling this is going to piss off people who wanted a big fat dance album at least as much as Tron Legacy did.

This is a tasteless adult contemporary prog-disco disaster of an album with sparkling Disney production values. It sounds like early 90s Genesis.

I think this is just how they roll. HAA is more like homework, this is more like discovery. Maybe the next one will be more of a throw back to the repetitive electro stuff. I've figured you out daft punk.

My first "get the gently caress outta here" moment of this album is Pharrell saying "Lose yourself to dance" over and over and over again in his forced falsetto. The underlying track is primo, but c'mon Pharrell.

The last two songs really make the album for me! Although, the album had me guessing the whole time. I'll have to see how I feel about it in a few weeks after some more listens.

I think it's mostly boring and cheesy, but if nothing else I'm impressed at how different it is. It makes me wonder why their first three albums were comparatively so similar-sounding. e: there's a lot of Glados autotune on this album. Not Daft Punk robot voices, but Glados robot voices.

The Grooveshark playlist is in reverse, watch out. I'm one track in (I listened to Contact and half of Doin' It Right before I realized the playlist was in reverse). So far, I'm in love. It's everything I wanted and more. As for HAA, I personally hated it when it came out. Even now, there are only a few tracks I can bear (mostly thanks to Alive 2007, as others said).

I just think that it is weird that people are upset it isn't a dance album. The duo themselves said this was going to be something new, I confuses me that people are saying the album isn't good because of that.

^^Not everyone follows every piece of Daft Punk news and many are probably coming into this blind^^ Album has Phillip-Glass-Esque sounding material, straight up jazz, aboriginal sounding stuff, fantasia-esque soundscapes, classical strings, funk guitar, a myriad of drumming styles, Georgio Moroder. This album contains pretty much every style of music of the past 100 years in it for god's sake. This album will piss so many people off.

it's funny that you're impressed by them "doing something different" when all the tracks are limp approximations of the worst that 70s disco and the cheesiest, most unimaginative adult contemporary has to offer. they've hired in a bunch of old people to secure an alibi for making the most generic, bloodless album ever. if you're seriously impressed by the drumming or any of the other instrumental work for that matter, you've been exposing yourself to seriously subpar music for your entire life.
