Rating: What do we expect from a dance group? To enter the History of Music? I would rather say to make people dance, to make heads sway to the beat.
This is what Daft Punk manages to do with this "Discovery" (or... "Disco very"?), with songs influenced by various genres (dance, funk, house, even rock), with instrumental and vocal tracks, with and without the vocoder; all with one common thread:
"Music's got me feeling so free
We're gonna celebrate
Celebrate and dance so free
One more time"
Daft Punk: The Movie?
Two years after the album's release, these two crazy French DJs have completed an ambitious project: already lovers of Japanese manga and admirers of the Japanese artist Leiji Matsumoto (whom young fans will remember as the author of "Captain Harlock" and "Galaxy Express 999"), they decided to ask for his collaboration to create an animated musical film featuring their music as the soundtrack.
Hence the beautiful videos that accompanied the album's singles! They were clips from this film, which has now, after two and a half years of work for fifty illustrators and animators, been completed.
The title? "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem."
The plot is deliberately simple, trivial, as the film is seen as a "childhood operation," so that, as they said in an interview, "everyone can accept themselves for the child they once were."
Ambitious, curious, and intriguing.
Perhaps, if you haven't already "crucified" me for talking more about the film than the album, I'll add some more anecdotes in the comments: in the meantime, get the CD and start dancing!

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 GATTINATOR
"Discovery represents another fundamental point of their career."
"Now even robots have a soul! Long live Daft Punk!"
