Editorial Review:
Amazon.com's Best of 2001:
The French twosome behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, get away with an awful lot. They go around impersonating aliens and robots in their interviews, they put records out only once every three years, and they make music that evokes a million other artists--while not really sounding like any of them. The keyboard noodlings of Jean-Michel Jarre are in there somewhere, along with the otherworldly imagery and giant hooks of '70s rock icons like Boston or even Electric Light Orchestra. There are dashes of 1999-era Prince and oodles of new wave and disco cheese, from Harold Faltermeyer and Gary Numan to the Bee Gees, all set off with efficient house beats. So how have they managed to position themselves as electronic music's next great crossover artists? OnDiscovery, the follow-up to the 1998 worldwide smash Homework, the answer is obvious: they have no shame, and they know how to make us dance.
Starting off with the irresistibly hummable 'One More Time,' the record blows through a head-spinning array of styles and samples, creating a pop-culture stew of funky loops and dance-floor anthems. 'Aerodynamic' eschews breakbeats for an Yngwie Malmsteen-ish guitar interlude that somehow ends up meshing in a crazy blend of stomping bass lines and hyped-up harmonics. 'Digital Love' starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics lull the senses just right, allowing the song's summery groove to grab hold with authority. 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' is a resounding standout amidst the retro/Vocoder deluge that transpired after Cher's Believe turned the kitchy disco device into a worldwide pop music trend, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction. Everywhere on the record, gigantic beats are dropped with pinpoint precision, giving songs a momentum that transforms repetitive melodies into sudden revelations. The record's only misstep, the aptly named 'Short Circuit' utilizes a keyboard riff that is nails-on-a-chalkboard awful, but it can't keep this from being one of the best records of 2001. --Matthew Cooke

Rating:  - Generic Asian Techno with STUPID guitar solos!
Boy, the Asians are at it again. From the people who bring you Honda racing, Rice, and World of Warcraft...
This is generic and pointless techno at its worst! Not only does it have silly beats and love songs, but they also have a guitarist who plays solos! And the solos are disgusting!
For good techno listen to anything on MTV or the Spice girls!
Rating:  - If you like Daft Punk, this will sure send you on a discovery
I bought this CD at the CD store. I got it on my birthday. I heard it was a great CD, so I bought it. It was great! My parents and my nanny liked it, too! It has a little bit of funk, disco, and electro. I really liked how they mixed it all together! This CD was very good.
Rating: - A very solid album
Daft Punk's Discovery was released in 2001, and serves as the foundation for the Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem anime film.While Discovery was recorded before the animation was ever worked on, this can still be considered a soundtrack for Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.All fourteen tracks on the album are used in the anime, and the songs appear in the exact same order on both the CD and in the anime.

Rating: - Curving ahead
4 1/2
Discovery is the OK Computer of House music. Instantly and consistently transcending that genre, offering quite simply the closest thing to urban-middle-class-party-and-after-party-experience-via-compressed-audio to date. Admittedly I can see the case being made for a weaker second side, but it seems more a matter of sequencing since nearly every minute of this hour length future-flow brims with signature studio mastery.
Rating: - THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING
OK, this (in my opinion) is the best Daft Punk album I've ever heard! It's a must buy for all of you Daft Punk fans!
