Human After All [ECD] - Daft Punk

...their own voices. "We are human after all" is what they declare but Daft Punk don't just record their voices straight, no they distort it and change it making themselves sound like robots. "The Prime Time Of Your Life" seems more of a return to their cut and paste past. It's a kind of mix of all different sounds, with a heavy filtered bass and beats layered over flashes of a synth. They use bits of vocals which has all been mashed up using a vocoder ...

Review of Human After All [ECD] - Daft Punk

...- becuase there's nothing particularly human about it. Maybe I've missed the point of the album and that it was an experiment for Daft Punk - but given the amount of publicity it had in Japan - I doubt that was the case. If it was an experiment - then it went wrong. If it was released as a commercial album - in my opinion it's a disaster - because there's not a single track here worth being released as a single. A very disappointing effort from ...

Review of Human After All [ECD] - Daft Punk

Human After All, the highly anticipated third album from the French duo Daft Punk and only took six weeks to make. The album begins with the Track Human After All which has a real electronic sound to it very similar to Kraftwerk, you will also instantly notice the use of electric guitars in the track all of which are preformed by Daft Punk, this helps to create a new sound to Daft Punk's music and this theme is continued throughout the album. The ...
...beats and robotic like vocals which sounds pretty cool and sets the standard for the rest of the album, this standard is followed in tracks two and three, The Prime Time Of Your Life and Robot Rock, but from track four onwards this is where the cracks start to appear and it shows that the album has only been made in six weeks. The rest of the album then starts to sound all a bit familiar with similar guitar sounds as in the earlier tracks and in ...

...watch Interstella 5555 and tell me it is not they're most distinguishing element. Fave tracks on this album are Human After All, Robot Rock (been used as backing tracks on TV) and Technologic (an absolute stormer), which uses their vocoded vocals the way only Daft punk know how! ...

Review of Human After All [ECD] - Daft Punk

Well if you have been a lover of daft punk like I have for many years, you may be as disappointed with this CD as I was. It does take a lot of listening to before you can really get into any of the songs. Most of the songs on this CD have a much the sameness about them, there doesn't seem to have been as much effort put into writing this CD as there has been to produce it. And since I've listened to this now many times I still only seem to love ...

Review of Human After All [ECD] - Daft Punk

The duo have evolved from their roots of Hip-Hop and Pop to a mixture of acid-house and techno to provide us with a unique sound that's a bit like marmite - you either love it or you hate it. Always original, Daft Punk follow up their previous albums with an even more electric and eclectic mixture of quitar and synth. They seem to like the robotic voices, which feature in all the songs on this album, which can get slightly repetitive, and the ending ...
...as the tempo increases to almost explosion point. This album can be good as background music, but not as something you want to sit down and philosophise over. Overall, an average album, but with a couple of great songs like 'Robot Rock' and 'Technologic' which certainly stick in your head and get it nodding away to the beat! ...

..."The Brainwasher" does exactly what it says on the tin. But not all the songs are Hardcore. If you just want to relax, songs like "Emotion" or "Make Love" is just the cup of tea for you. Whether your Human or Robot this is a great album of choice. ...
