Also, I ordered Daft Punk's Human After All, which should come tomorrow
good choice. it's their best work.
Opinion on it is very mixed. As someone who thought Discovery is like listening to God's disco and Homework is mostly meh, I'm not sure what I'll think of it, but for £5 I can't complain.
i feel about the same way as you do about their other two but i really love human after all. it's so cold and machinelike, like robots observing humanity or something. great stuff.
Since someone brought The Doors up, I love how they can keep the same groove going for so long (like in Riders, The End and When the Music's Over) but not make it boring. I bloody love The Doors.
So I've listened to Human After All this week and it just isn't as listenable as I'd have liked it to be. It's probably great dance music, but that's of zero interest to me. None of the tracks go anywhere, they're typical electro loops (which is fine when the loops are awesome like 'Robot Rock') that just continue for five minutes or so. And 'Emotion' is the most anticlimactic end to an album I've heard in a long time. Maybe that comes from me listening to too much Pink Floyd, I dunno.
That I find hard to believe. There were so many bands blatantly ripping each other off back then, why would there be an issue with two songs with a similar feel to both of them, nothing more?
