Amazon.co.uk Review
Starting off with the irresistibly hummable "One More Time," Daft Punk's second album, Discovery, blows through a head-spinning array of styles and samples, creating a pop culture stew of funky loops and dance floor anthems, while displaying the characteristics of a million other artists. The keyboard noodlings of Jean Michel-Jarre are in there somewhere, along with the otherworldly imagery and giant hooks of 1970s rock icons like Boston or Electric Light Orchestra. There are dashes of 1999-era Prince and oodles of new wave/disco, from Gary Numan to The Bee Gees, all set off with efficient house beats. "Aerodynamic" eschews breakbeats for a guitar interlude that somehow ends up meshing in a crazy blend of stomping basslines and hyped-up harmonics. "Digital Love" starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics serve to lull the senses enough for the song's summery groove to grab hold with authority. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is the definitive salvo in the dance floor retro/vocoder battle that began in earnest with Cher's Believe, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction. Everywhere on the record, gigantic beats are dropped with pinpoint precision, giving songs momentum that transforms repetitive melodies into sudden revelations. The record's only mis-step, the aptly-named "Short Circuit" utilizes a keyboard riff that is nails-on-a-chalkboard awful, but it can't keep this from being one of the best records of 2001. --Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews

awsomeness is to smaller word
This album is so awsome it was the very first daft punk album i got and it remains a personal favourite, it is a sound track to their anime dvd- interstella 5555 which complements the mood and tone of each song.
After hearing this album i am now a big fan of daft punk and their music.

Genious Genious and More Genious
Fact is Fact and the fact is that this is a revolutionary ablum, every track is good and has somthing slightly different from the last.
Anyone who who gives it review dosnt know their stuff on dance.
Theese guys made their genre.

Praise to the daft

oh and see them live if you get a chance, they are mesmeric.

My first ever electro/dance album, it's so good, I wont need another!
Now useually I stay far away from this kind of music. But for some reason Daft Punk are different, they seem to have a rock edge to them. But Discovery is the more so about of the current 3 albums. This album contains some truely great songs like: One More Time, Digital Love, Harder Better Faster Stronger and Too Long. If you wondering about taking a risk, then take this risk, it's worth it!
