I cannot emphasize enough how spectacular this 5-star album is. How much creativity and effort is poured into every single one of these tracks. To me, this is the album that defines Daft Punk - Melodious vocals, well placed beats, perfect timing, and unique musical ideas. One More Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Something About Us, Voyager, Short Circuit, Face to Face, and Too Long are all quite exceptional tracks, and none of the other songs are mediocre enough to be labeled album filler. Let's get right to the song by song analysis:
1. One More Time - 5/5 Stars. This track is absolutely classic. A shimmering music track with perfectly timed vocals and beats. Very fun to dance to. It doesn't matter if you're a techno fan or not. No one can dislike this song.
2. Aerodynamic - 5/5 Stars. A remarkable track. Very well put together, with an interesting sound and very rapid notes. This song is very creative, and takes on an almost magical sound from 2:30 to the end. This song is extremely cool. Not one of Daft Punks most famous tracks but it should be.
3. Digital Love - 5/5 Stars. Catchy, well timed beat. Cute vocals. Cute lyrics. This is a very feel-good song. Like Aerodynamic, the track gets more and more awesome as the song progresses. At 3:25 a crazy guitar riff is added, giving the song a wild climax to 4:25. Then the song cools down to a peaceful ending.
4. Harder Better Faster Stronger- 5/5 Stars. Probably one of Daft Punks most famous songs, and for good reason. This song is perfectly timed with progressive vocals and an irresistible beat. Extremely fun to dance to. It's also fun to see how long you can keep up with the vocals before you run out of breath. It's hard to describe what makes this track so epic. You just have to hear it.
5. Crescendolls - 4/5 Stars for techno fans, 3/5 Stars for casual audiences. There's only one word to describe this track: weird. But if you're like me and love music that is creative to the point of strangeness, you will enjoy this track. More casual listeners, however, will think this sounds pretty nasty. This one's harder to dance to. This song is good, but not on the same tier as the first four tracks, and probably too weird for many people.
6. Nightvision - 4/5 Stars. There's nothing wrong with this song, except it doesn't feel complete. Well under two minutes long, it doesn't feel like a song. It is also quite un-danceable. To its credit, it is well put together and very soothing to listen to. Again, no real complaint here, just not as epic as the first four tracks.
7. Superheroes - 4/5 Stars. A good track. Steady beat. Well timed. Danceable. However, the lyrics are extremely repetitive, which isn't a problem for me, but take it down a notch from the awesome vocals in One More Time, Digital Love, and Harder Better Faster Stronger. Altogether, a solid track, but not outstanding.
8. High Life - 4/5 Stars for techno fans, 3/5 Stars for casual listeners. Same story as Crescendolls. A high pitched voice shouting BAAAM, BUUUM, BAAAM, BUUM over and over. This song is just silly. But, as a fan of creatively weird techno I still enjoy listening to it.
9. Something About Us - 5/5 Stars. A sublime, relaxing song with touching vocals. Like Nightvision, not a danceable song. I love this track. Like Digital Love, it shows that techno can make love songs too, and good ones at that.
10. Voyager - 5/5 Stars. This song is delightful. A distorted bassline under a shimmering track. At 2:16 a quick xylophone-ish note progression is added, meshing perfectly with the first two musical elements. Not very danceable, but overall as good as the first four tracks.
11.Veridis Quo - 4/5 Stars. Similar to Nightvision, only a complete song. It progresses very slowly, but very naturally, and grows more and more complex. Soothing to listen to, but not danceable. A great track.
12. Short Circuit- 5/5 Stars for techno fans, 3/5 stars for casual listeners. Excellent song from 0:00-1:40. The first 1:40 is great for breakdancing and extremely catchy. Then the song slows down, to a riff that grows more and more distorted until the song ends. Near the end the track gets very choppy. Casual listeners will hate this part. As a techno fan I find this intriguing and melodious in its own way. Very creative, very catchy at the beginning and very interesting at the end.
13. Face to Face - 5/5 Stars. Brilliant. Creative. Great vocals. Fascinating beat. I would go as far as to call this the best song in the album. The music is all over the place, but somehow makes something perfectly harmonious. We then move on to great vocals with a steady beat in the background. The song also has an interesting message to it, but I'll leave the lyrical interpretation to you. I wish this song was a lot longer. It feels like the ending is way too early, especially for a techno song. I think Daft Punk should've extended this song another 2 minutes. But as it stands, it's still an absolutely brilliant, catchy, danceable song.
14.Too Long - 5/5 Stars. Well, it's a 10:00 minute song called "Too Long." The question stands- is this song literally too long, or is it 10 minutes of quality music? I would say the latter. It has a natural progression with great vocals and an interesting message. When the beat finally kicks in at 1:38 its very catchy and danceable. The music gradually swells, ebbs, and changes, over the duration of the song, but remains interesting and catchy. An excellent end to the album that is certainly not too long.
Discovery is a shining gem among techno albums. Even if you're not much of a techno head, you'll find a great deal of these songs enjoyable. This is the best $9.49 I've spent in my life, but you're making a huge mistake if you leave this page without downloading "Face to Face" at the very least. Thanks for reading!

Daft Punk fue un dúo francés de música electrónica y rock-electrónico formado en 1993 en París por Thomas Bangalter y Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.
Discovery (2001), tuvo más éxito, con los exitosos sencillos «One More Time», «Digital Love» y «Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger». Se convirtió en la base de una película animada, Interstella 5555
Este álbum es unos de sus exitos lo escuche cuando tenia 8 o 7 años lo recomiendo mucho a las persona que están empezando a escuchar musica mas bien por su historia y su banda sonora.

At several points I thought the record was skipping, but it turns out that's just what Daft Punk music sounds like sometimes 😂. There was a tiny bit of warp which didn't affect playback on disk 2 (sides c and d).
No skipping or static noise for me during playback.

One of my fav Daft Punk albums, or maybe albums of all time. The vinyl came in very safely packaged in a box bigger than I expected to prevent damage to the vinyl. Shipment was also very fast, around 3 days only. The vinyl sleeve is also like a tiny booklet, containing 2 more sleeves inside (a duplicate of the original Daft Punk logo sleeve for side A and B, and another of Guy & Thomas for C and D, brilliant to hang up as a frame). I love how shiny it is especially, there's nothing as great as owning a physical copy of an album you love so much in pristine, high quality condition. Everything from vinyl A to D plays smoothly without a single skip. Very happy with this order and I'd recommend to anyone else who loves this classic French duo!
