About this album

EMI France (2005) Released: 15 Mar 2005 10 tracks (45:22)
“Human After All” is the third studio album by French duo Daft Punk, first released on March 14, 2005 internationally and a day later in the United States. With it, Daft Punk apply Minimalism and rock music to their French house musicstyle. It received mixed reviews noting its reported six-week creation, which is particularly short compared to previous albums Discovery and Homework.

Conception

The Japanese edition of the album artwork features a quote from Daft Punk stating: “We believe that Human After All speaks for itself.” In a later statement, Daft Punk considered Human After All to be the favorite of their three studio albums and regard it as “pure improvisation.” The album’s brief creation and minimal production had been decided upon beforehand as counterpoint to their previous album.As Thomas Bangalter stated, “We were definitely seduced at the time by the idea of doing the opposite of Discovery.” Human After All was created mainly with two guitars and without synthesizers.Furthermore it was produced in two weeks and mixed in four, a session in sharp contrast to their older material.

Bangalter has stated that the album is an attempt to discover where human feelings reside in music. He later commented that “we felt like the third album was about this feeling of either fear or paranoia… not something intended to make you feel good”.

    totally underrated. i feel like this is Daft Punk's best work, or at least tied with Homework.

    I don't get why this album gets so much hate. Yes it is VERY robotic and some songs are really raw as far as sound goes but this is what makes it so great. Its just so innovative and refreshing. You just can't confound it with anything or anybody - you hear it and first thing that comes to mind is Daft Punk. I really like it but I agree that if you would listen to it for a very long time straight it will get kinda annoying.

    You all do know the recording process for the album was very short intentionally, correct? Because they did it to prove a point. It's total genius.

    I'm fed up with people who think that DP=Discovery. This album is great. [2]

    Their weakest album: the first two tracks hold some promise, and "Make Love" is a beautiful little slice of melody. Nevertheless, none of these songs feel complete to me, at best they falter in the last 1/4 (The title track, The Prime Time of Your Life), and at worst (Steam Machine) they get boring and repetitive within the first minute. There's just not enough work put into these songs: the short recording session is obvious and it doesn't work well for Daft Punk at all. It's unfortunate they didn't recognize this and throw more time into production.
