About this album
“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”.

I just listened to this after loving Homework and having a new level of music appreciation due to the incredibleness of Discovery, and this was certainly not as bad as I heard it was going to be. The only songs I found particularly middle of the road were "Television Rules the World" and (I may be a small minority here but) "Technologic". I thought everything else was disturbing and icy and robotic. It felt almost kinda Clockwork Orange to me!

There's nothing wrong with this album being different than others. Hell, it's even better because it could show some new interesting ideas. But it does not. It's way to simple to impress me. I expected more from DP.

I love the simpleness of ''Make Love'' and ''Emotion. They give me the same feeling of satisfaction as ''Voyager'' or ''Something About Us'' on Discovery does. Superb tunes!

Beautifully disturbing. It works a lot better if you don't expect a dance album. Fits far better into the Boards of Canada niche.

I think a lot of people don't understand they were going for this kind of sound. They weren't trying to level up to Homework and Discovery. [from Wikipedia] 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... [The record is] not something intended to make you feel good" They were trying to make a point and I understand what they were getting across. You get through the album and I totally understand why some people don't like it but I treat every album by any artist, it's own entity. I do not compare. It's unfair because you go in with expectations. I find this album to be great in it's own right. It has this mechanical feeling to it and that is one of the many reasons I love it!

"Plus: listen to Alive 2007 and you know Human After All is not Crap After All. " you shouldnt have to listen to an album that came out 2 years after this one to appreciate it. The album on its own two legs blows, and it was a disappointment when it came out in 2005.

I agree with m-salami, saying 'I'm fed up with people who think that DP=Discovery. This album is great.' I have to say when started listening Discovery first, Homework and Human After All are different. At first I thought about Rollin' & Scratchin', 'WTF is this.' But when you listen more and more, you hear how awesome it is. Human After All is different, not worse.

Perhaps I'm a bit biased as this is my first full-length introduction to Daft Punk, but is it me or is Human After All not a spectacularly underrated piece of work? And incredibly misunderstood at that? One of the most poorly judged albums in recent memory.
