But anyway, I bought 'Discovery' towards the end of last year, and didn't think much of it at first. After a few listens, it grew on me a bit, but in the end I got bored and stopped listening to it. A bit lame, I thought. A few months later, on the recommendation of a friend, I bought 'Homework', ... Read review

Discovery, blows through a head-spinning array of styles and samples, creating a pop culture stew of funky loops and dance floor anthems, while displaying the characteristics of a million other artists. The keyboard noodlings of Jean Michel-Jarre are in there somewhere, along with the otherworldly imagery and giant hooks of 1970s rock icons like Boston or Electric Light Orchestra. There are dashes of 1999-era Prince and oodles of new wave/disco, from Gary Numan to The Bee Gees, all set off with efficient house beats. "Aerodynamic" eschews breakbeats for a guitar interlude that somehow ends up meshing in a crazy blend of stomping basslines and hyped-up harmonics. "Digital Love" starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics serve to lull the senses enough for the song's summery groove to grab hold with authority. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is the definitive salvo in the dance floor retro/vocoder battle that began in earnest with Cher's Believe, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction. Everywhere on the record, gigantic beats are dropped with pinpoint precision, giving songs momentum that transforms repetitive melodies into sudden revelations. The record's only mis-step, the aptly-named "Short Circuit" utilizes a keyboard riff that is nails-on-a-chalkboard awful, but it can't keep this from being one of the best records of 2001. --Matthew Cooke
Advantages: More of an album, less of a concept than Homework Disadvantages: Short Circuit makes me want to cut my ears off
My tastes in music, as some of you may already know, are quite diverse. Not many people are able to like Basement Jaxx and the Deftones at the same time, yet I do. In some ways this is good, but in other ways not. You see, I don't think that I'm discriminative enough. I can buy practically any album and grow to enjoy it (so long as it's not Westlife - I would rather burn in hell than listen to one of their albums (not that I believe in hell), and ... ...for my birthday, I would be forced to shoot them - nothing personal, you understand, but it's the principle that matters - anybody who could even possibly conceive that I like Westlife must be so deranged that they deserve to die), and sometimes I do wish that I could buy an album that I dislike, just so that I can write a review on dooyoo saying, 'Don't buy this CD, it's a pile of dog poo.' This is why I haven't written many music reviews lately ...

Advantages: Great tracks, amazing lyrics, easy listening Disadvantages: Familar sounding
I felt a bit weird when my brother bought this album and didn't really think it was a good buy. This is one of my favourite CDs of the year, and all together! If you like Dance tracks and easy listening music this is the one for you. The best track on this album I think is Digital Love which didn't do very well in the charts! On this CD there are a lot of instrumental tracks which are really good with a great beat in the background. Sadly I haven't ... ...but I will be buying it soon.
The track go as this:
1 : One more time
Probably heard by most of you this is a great track. The first they released and the reason I started getting into Daft Punk. A great track to dance to or just listen to as you do over things. This track is loved by any dance fan and the vocals sound great changing from high to low with an amazing computer digaly graphed sound. This is all you need for a party or a night out!

Advantages: Amazing, sublime and very daft Disadvantages: Not much
...a new album. Discovery is Daft Punk's second album and the follow up to the phenomenal Homework. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, collectively know as Daft Punk, had left us five long years between albums, so have they lived up to expectations? Let's find out... 1: One More Time The first single and thus the official return of Daft Punk to our ears, and boy is it a good one. A brilliant uplifting track that almost makes you smile. ... ...else at the time and in that sense became very genre defining. In Discovery they are really pioneering the 80?s revival but in a very up to the minute way. Having said all that, these guys don't have to live up to anything or anyone's expectations - they're Daft Punk! ...

My best album of all time! I love Daft Punk’s Homework too, but this one is definitely my favourite. Many don’t know who Daft Punk are: the guys are called Thomas Bangaltar and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. This much-awaited album came out 5 years after Homework and has a variety perfect for dance fans.
The best way to review this album is to go through some of the tracks on it. I’m going to start with my favourites:
Harder, Better, ... ...I listen to it over and over again. I’ll never tire of it. A magnificent track, these are the lyrics:
“ Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
More than ever, hour after
Our work is never over”
Such a fantastic track!! :-)
One More Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now a club classic it has so much energy and is guaranteed to get you dancing. It’s all about dancing and you can’t help but sing along to ...

Advantages: Fantastic songs - music doesn't get much better Disadvantages: Should be more recognised
Okay, okay. I admit it. I was a trashy pop and euro pap fan a couple of years ago but wasn't everyone? Come on you cant not admit that you dont know the words to Britney or haven't tap a toe to Eiffel 65 - or 64, I get confused. I did - ashamadly. Although two years isn't much my music taste has drastically changed. This is all thanks to Daft Punk. It was 1997 when two eccentric Parisian DJ's, by the name of Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homen ... ...Daft Punk into the charts with their first hit Da Funk. I was a great fan then, before my music taste went down the toilet. I had the record and would have had the album, Homework, if I wasn't so broke. The fact that an instrumental song could reach no.10 in the charts without much airplay was fantastic but we all know why it was there dont we. Not only did it sound original and a break to all the crap and depressing Indie stuff around, it had just ...
