I have tried on four separate occasions to listen to this album. I still think it is awful. Sub-par Daft Punk filtered through a 14 year olds first experience with making music on his mac.
I am one of the few mods on here who likes Electronic dance music, so my opinion is not biased at all.I find no seperation in the tracks. No creativity or even an original take on old ideas. Some of it sounds like dodgy 80's synthesised film soundtracks that adorn badly dubbed Italian apocalyptic films. I find it strange that a lot of people dissed the band DIGITALISM for being a sub par Daft Punk when I think this album is even worse than Idealism. |
This album is great for gettin' pumped up for a night out. They are borrowing rather a lot from Daft Punk, but I don't care because I like it. Good fun stuff, basically everything Wayfarer said.
Also...they are phenomenally good live. |
They are a lot better than Daft Punk. Punk might win for the singles, but hasn't had a single album as consistent as this one.

Discovery is a veryyy consistent album throughout i think. Especially the first 4, One More Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love and Harder Better Faster Stronger is a brilliant run of tracks.

Of what I heard, it sounded very good to me. I might download it sometime.

first of all, Cross only has two strong songs, "D.A.N.C.E." and "Waters of Nazareth"--in my opinion.
now let's look at Daft Punk's Discovery. 1. One More Time - great opener 2. Aerodynamic - very strong song, similar sounding to Harder Better 3. Digital Love - perhaps the weakest song on the album, mainly because it is a slower, mellow song that comes too early 4. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger- duh, their most commercially successful song 5. Crescendolls - one of their most club worthy dance numbers 6. Nightvision - relatively weak, but what's to be expected of a filler interlude 7. Superheroes - heavy hitting dance number 8. High Life - strong song, not so much club oriented as personal listening 9. Something About Us - slow groove, serves as an interlude 10. Voyager - pretty generic house, one of the weaker tracks 11. Veridis Quo - truly great interlude track, with an awesome flute lead 12. Short Circuit - bangin club number, some 80's revival thrown in 13. Face to Face - i really like this song, especially the vocal chopping 14. Too Long - mandatory extended closer, does its job well as an outro i doubt Justice will ever produce as solid an album as Discovery, not to mention Daft Punk's other great albums |

As for them not having any creativity, with “Waters of Nazareth” and “We Are Your Friends” they pretty much single handedly created an entire sub-genre of electronic music. Their entire shtick is basically being a new take on French Touch, so yeah, I’d say even if you don’t think they’re very creative, you have to admit that what they’re doing with 90s French House is at least worth noting. Also, their biggest influences are guys like Giorgio Moroder and bad film soundtracks (they sample “Tenebre” on “Phantom”), so it isn’t really surprising that you get that vibe. Quote:

Anyway, I think Homework is a better choice of album for showcasing how amazing Daft Punk is. Discovery was good, but it’s only as good as the samples it uses. Honestly, I think pretty much any one song off Homework (yes, even WDPK 83.7, which has that amazing snippet of “Musique,” their best, and most underrated, song) is far better than anything on Discovery. |
