The cover is only slightly modified compared to "Homework," the debut from 1996, which was a trigger for the French scene (Air, Cassius, Modjo). Five years later, the follow-up. If they still have a taste for the dry dynamics à la Kraftwerk, analog sounds, and guitar samples like in "Aerodynamic," much of the original freshness has been lost. Five songs out of 14 are sung (too many), not just unique phrases repeated as in "Around the World" from "Homework," but actual songs; a whole 5 songs have a fully articulated text even included in the booklet! But when a text says nothing, is ugly, why include it? Sick ego? Is that how they justify the songs sung directly by T. Bangalter and G.M. de Homem-Christo? Is it why they poorly sing 3 songs themselves? These were not the Daft Punk of "Homework"; it's okay to evolve, necessary even, but not for the worse. 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. "Digital Love" is sung by Daft Punk themselves with a Buggles-like voice, annoying. 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. The sung songs irritate, and the instrumentals lack punch. The production is obviously impeccable, but the songs are missing. That’s the problem. We are left with nothing.

02   Aerodynamic (03:27)

[No lyrics]

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?

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
(repeat until song ends)

 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.

 "Discovery represents another fundamental point of their career."

 "Now even robots have a soul! Long live Daft Punk!"
