About this album
Where they were
Released on March 14, 2005, 'Human After All' is Daft Punk's fourth studio album, following their critically acclaimed work 'Discovery' in 2001. At this point in their career, the duo was transitioning from the mainstream success of their previous album towards a more experimental sound that would later influence their celebrated film score for 'Tron: Legacy'.
Why it matters
The album was notable for its polarizing reception, receiving mixed reviews that highlighted its departure from the catchy melodies of 'Discovery', yet it solidified Daft Punk's commitment to innovation within electronic music. Tracks such as 'Robot Rock' achieved commercial success, reaching high positions on international charts and influencing genres like electro and dance-punk.
Essential tracks
- "Robot Rock" — 'Robot Rock' exemplifies the album’s signature sound with its infectious riff and heavy use of samples, showcasing Daft Punk’s unique approach to production.
- "Technologic" — Featuring robotic vocals listing technological commands, 'Technologic' captures the essence of modernity and the duo's fascination with technology's role in society.
- "Make Love" — 'Make Love' stands out for its emotional depth and vulnerability, contrasting sharply with the album's otherwise mechanical themes.
