 (25 Customer Reviews)
Recorded in less than two months, HUMAN AFTER ALL, the third studio album by the French duo of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, gives off an immediate electronic rush. The opening title track, with its wonderfully distorted synthesizers and robotic vocals, might make listeners question whether humans created any of these sounds, but, chances are, they'll be too busy dancing to care. The most notable change in the Daft Punk aesthetic is the heavier presence of guitars (all played by de Homem-Christo and Bangalter), particularly on the aforementioned "Human After All" and the fuzzed-out funk of "Robot Rock." Of course, the duo excels at club beats, and the disc is filled with dance-floor-ready, vocoder-laden tunes, including the driving "Television Rules the Nation" and the break-neck-paced "Technologic."
Daft Punk: Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, Thomas Bangalter (various instruments).
Recording information: Paris, France (2004).
Uncut (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 - "It has everything you've come to expect from a Daft Punk album - innovation, cracking tunes, a palpable sense of its own absurdity - but this time the whole shebang's cranked up to 11."
Alternative Press (p.138) - 4 out of 5 - "[T]he French duo pay cheeky tribute to the glory of repetition, android techno, distorted Roland 303s, robotic funk and vocodered singers intoning titles ad absurdum here."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.89) - 4 stars out of 5 - "HUMAN AFTER ALL strips out the most flamboyant frills to create a more incisive sound. Some of it is tough and forgiving....And some is pure pop plastique, all gloss and sheen..." Daft Punk Human After All Songs Human After All Music Review Average Rating: (3.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Great as always
This production is not too dance like "Homework", or full of retro sounds ("Discovery"). It's other proposal. A new sound. It's like... rock music (the guitars are present all the time) mixed in with electronica and robot voices. Since "The brainwasher", the songs are brilliant ("On/Off" is not really a track) and more dance-able. I would like to have a remix CD of this album. The bad part is that they're only 10 tracks: after "Emotion", I want to listen more.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  One of the greatest albums ever!
Some people don't see the art in this album. It takes time getting used to, but when you do, its brilliant beyond styles!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Much more electronica this time...
Daft Punk seems to have moved away from the usual French house beats of Discovery and Homework, and instead took on The Electronica/Robot genre on Human After All. It has a fresh, funky vibe to it, with a lot of substance. For 2 months in work seems like a short time, they've really done a lot. Not as good as Discovery, but clearly haven't gotten any worse. Just a whole lot better. Best songs: Robot Rock, The Brainwasher, Steam Machine and Technologic.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No SHout out
Got to give a shout out to Busta Rhymes for taking the excerpt from "Technologic". Just love the way of how him and Swiss Beatz (producer), flip that sample over on "Touch It" other than that. It's a good album

"Da Funk" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
"Around The World" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the two French twenty-something DJs who make up Daft Punk, are relentless dance-music aficionados and historians. And unlike many of their contemporaries, their interests don't just lie in the electronic beats that have been rockin' the clubs since the mid-80s. The two knob-twiddlers are just as well-versed in Giorgio Moroder's Eurodisco grooves, Chic, and the old-school rhythms of Afrika Bambaata and the Sugarhill Records catalog, as they are in the Chicago house and Detroit techno traditions.
When they're not assembling catchy-as-hell bits of electro-pop ("Around The World"), throwing down slabs of minimalist funk ("Da Funk"), or marrying Miami bass to Kraftwerkian blips ("Oh Yeah"), Homem-Christo and Bangalter try to impart a little knowledge. On "Teachers," they use a Ween-esque distorted vocal line to name-check ...

"Short Circuit" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. "One More Time" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
In 1997, this French electro-dance duo made a huge intercontinental splash with its debut album, HOMEWORK, mixing disco, house, funk, techno, and more. While Daft Punk's second recording still focuses on the maximum accessibility that earned its debut such high marks, there's less of an obvious focus on pop hooks. Irony and house beats are the order of the day, and an ...

Human After All
$12.59
Garbage's mantra for BLEED LIKE ME could be "that which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger," given the emotional and creative upheaval this unit went through in the four years that elapsed between this disc and 2001's BEAUTIFUL GARBAGE. Following personal conflicts and health woes for both Butch Vig and Shirley Manson, the quartet stripped down its sound and amped up the guitars to create an angst-laced album reminiscent of the Breeders and Foo Fighters.
Apparently, bad circumstances make for great art, and this collection of songs is no exception. When Manson isn't purring lines like "Hey, baby can you bleed like me" over the moody synth washes of the title cut, she's striking a defiant pose over the Kim Deal-like bass lines of "Sex Is Not the Enemy." Elsewhere, the echoing guitars and rumbling bass of "Run Baby Run" bring to mind a delicious fusion of New Order and the Cure. Vig's longtime friend and associate Dave Grohl even puts in a memorable drumming appearance amid a wall of guitars on the roaring opening cut, "Bad Boyfriend." Energetic and cathartic, BLEED LIKE ME is a welcome return to form for Garbage.
Includes video for "Why Do You Love Me."
Garbage: Shirley Manson (vocals, electric guitar); Duke Erikson (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, Mellotron, synthesizer, ...
