Rating: Well, here we are again! The second album of the most famous dance duo in France. And it's a whole other music! Yes, because unlike "Homework", this 61-minute album feels less physical and more sentimental. In short, let's be clear, it doesn't have anything to do with the first work! After 4 years, the two robots decided to change their music by inventing their own artistic death: oh yes! Just like that, burnt to ashes in their own recording studio on 09/09/1999. Reviving, they changed style, creating a pop-house album which, as time passed, became another masterpiece.
But now let's take a closer look at the 14 tracks in question. First of all, it's worth mentioning that the album feels as sparse as the previous one: the duo's name on the cover just like before and a booklet with the lyrics (and what lyrics! Finally well-structured as opposed to the usual four words).
This concept album opens immediately with their first single "One More Time", which in my opinion seems to be the only dull note because it's too homemade and direct (the usual bombshell that kicks off the dance and eventually tires!). The rest, however, is all too beautiful: the best response to describe the feelings that bond man and machine.
"Aerodynamic" is already memorable from the opening with the famous "Back In Black" bells. A throbbing in the ear of virtuosic guitar with a stall phase in the middle of futuristic keyboards! Then come the two most significant songs of the album: "Digital Love" and "Harder Better Faster Stronger". These two tracks symbolize in the best possible way the man/machine love I previously described. The first is the ballad par excellence of their entire career, enriched by the famous final explosion of dance/love energy, and the second represents the rebellion of the machines. And right here comes the big question: real guitar or fake? Who knows! Either way, listen to it and listen to it again because it's beastly disco! At this point, we find ourselves in the most dance phase of the album, with "Crescendolls", "Nightvision" (a pause), "Superheroes", and "High Life". The evocative message of these 4 tracks is almost nil, but the approach to the house music world is still masterful. And now the second love song of the album: "Something About Us". Beautiful, tender-hearted, and easy listening! Dedicated to the most tender-hearted.
Closing this parenthesis, it seems that everything is transforming: it seems that the love phase is closing to make room for something very experimental, perhaps the most interesting part of the entire album. Yes, the spatial phase! With "Voyager" and "Veridis Quo", a relaxation phase opens! Enjoy it to the fullest! The dance resumes with "Short Circuit" and "Face To Face": we can call them bizarre, but at least with the last one, the vocals return! Oh yes, speaking of which! The vocals in this last phase are hip hop rhythm, unlike the first where everything has another more sentimental face. So we can notice a double truth from the artists. "Too Long"? Too long! But it perfectly hits the conclusion of this extraordinary record.
So! In conclusion, our heroes made it by showing another side of their music and here the flashes of genius are indeed noticeable. More crafted compared to the acclaimed "Homework", "Discovery" represents another fundamental point of their career. Interesting yet lively at the same time for those who want to approach the world of French Touch, and then if we want to add another 2.5 million copies sold and a whole Japanese animated movie that cost millions of dollars, everything becomes astonishing.
Now even robots have a soul! Long live Daft Punk!

03 Digital Love (04:58)
Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long
Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rhythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long
The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true
Why don't you play the game?
Why don't you play the game?

07 Superheroes (03:57)
Something's in the air
Something's in the air
Something's in the air
Something's in the air
09 Something About Us (03:51)
It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
Cause there's something between us anyway
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life
13 Face to Face (04:00)
You are
Face to f' now
Face to f'
You are
Face to f' now
Remember me
oh-ah, cheers
Whats going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be
someone different
There's not much I know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face
I turned away because I thought you were
the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I realized you weren't wrong, it was a mere illusion
It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face
14 Too Long (10:00)
Too long
Too long
Too long
Too long (repeats in the background)
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling's in my bones (x2)
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Mmh
Yeah (4x)
At last the long wait is over
The weight is off my shoulder
I'm taking all control, yeah
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
I see, you feel the way I do,
The feelings all so true
The good feelings coming thru
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling's in my bones (x2)
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
At last the long wait is over
The weight is off my shoulders
I'm taking all control, yeah
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it...
(can you feel it...)
Do you need it?
Hey, I need it too
Well all right;
Do you need it?
It's good for you
We're gonna move

The sung songs are useless; 'One More Time' is a Saturday night song, instead sung by Romanthony (who is he???), here also co-producer (with a terrible voice à la Eiffel 65!) who even manages to ruin 'Too Long' at the end.
Apart from self-references and quotes from Kraftwerk and 80’s electronics, the album is bad, we have listened to it multiple times waiting for it to grab us, but it lacks character.
By donzaucher
Daft Punk manages to do with this "Discovery" more than just make people dance; they make heads sway to the beat.
"Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" is a childhood operation so that everyone can accept themselves for the child they once were.
