It's like every Daft Punk album, a few fun/catchy tracks but the rest is just underwhelming and instantly forgettable. Despite being touted as pioneers in electronica, they've never stretched the boundaries of the genre or done anything unique with it. As I said a few pages back: a novelty act. And it amazes me how many people are still clinging to this novelty. Talking about this album as if it's in some way important. If anything it's a step back. With all the great music on offer this year, is there really a need for an 80's disco revival/nostalgia trip. Especially when most of their listeners are too young to remember that musical period.
