Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - Hudba
"The album ends as strong as it finishes" classic
it's very Yogi Bera
Nailed it
1000th like lol
@@thetrump9974 I like it though
That’s what she said!
Veridis Quo
Very Disco

Discovery
Damn mind blown

that's not even a reach you are good. I don't think they intended it to be reversed but they intended the Very Disco part at least
Jesus fucking Christ
ELO already did that in 1979 though.
"the album's music is its strongest asset"? "ends as strong as it finishes"? you ok, man?
well he already said he wants to see the sun
The first one makes complete sense if you listen to the whole couple of sentences.
You’re right about the second one.
you can take individual sentences out of context and it becomes a funny!
It's pretty clear he has a cold or at least the sniffles in this video, so no... he is not ok :(
With context the first one is saying he enjoys the music over the movie made after the album, but yeah the second one is a goof.
Voyager has to be one of the most underrated and best songs in electronic music.
I love the wild style remix of it too
FACTS!!

Yeah sad
Yess
Digital Love is the greatest pop love song ever made.
Incredible song

i hate to be that guy but the melon keeps calling a vocoder auto tune
jules louchart Well, depending on the vocoder some of them can only be activated by a keyboard, hence the autotune. But more modern devices just use your voice..
In his defense, he's right in the case of One More Time.
they used autotune and vocoder.
Especially when they used a Talk-box.
It is more vocoder than auto tue
"Oh, I wanna review Daft Punk's classic album Discovery, better put my NAILS shirt for the video"

He’s literally wearing a shirt that says “NAZIS” on it

Wow, you call this album a classic even though they completely ripped off one of Kanye's biggest and most successful hits.
Despicable.

Daft Punk: one of the only artists that can keep Needledrop comments focused on the music instead of melon memes.
My favorite album of all time. Will never be out-done in my opinion.
yep yep yep
I agree. Although I think DP has surpassed it a few times, Discovery will always be my personal favorite album of all time. If there is any perfect, magical, unbelievable, timeless album in this world, it is Discovery. No questions. Fite me.
@@calebdonaldson8770 I do wanna fite you. first of all, I don't see when DP has actually surpassed this album: there is no record better than Discovery in their catalogue in my opinion, but there may be a few tracks of theirs that can be argued to be among their best (and therefore better than the Discovery tracks). also, I believe the album is fine as it is, I wouldn't change a single track on it, but it's not a perfect record; the enjoyment is definitely not at its maximum in my opinion, but I also think that it benefits the record in some kind of way: if all the tracks were as rich and colorful as a One More Time or a Digital Love, it may get stale because of its overripe production or because they may have not been able to reach peak with the same formula over and over again, as it is hard to do that; but, back to what I was saying, although I believe it benefits the record, the variety also makes it have some moments that are not as strong as they could be: it's not easy to have almost every single track sound totally different and excel in each and every different style.
and I'm only making these arguments because you asked for them (yes I know it was an ironic "fite me", but it's still fun to have discussion), because if it were for me I would say as little negative things as I can about this record. it's a very, very easy 9/10
I mean.... RAM
@@andreihristov7953 no, RAM is amazing it just can't compare with Discovery, I think it is the one of the best albums of all time, and this opinion is from a producer standpoint. defo in my top 3.
Gorillaz-Demon Days
DOOM-Madvillany
And obviously Discovery
real melons listen to "Around the World" on 10 hour loop
it already is *badum tss*
I'm so glad that the "real ones" thing is slowly dying
Lyrics:
Around the world
(repeat x144)
arrrround the woorrrrrrrrrrllddddddd arrrround the woooorrrrrlllldd
oh, so you'd only get through the song twice?
“The album ends as strong as it finishes”
I agree
I don't know, I'd say it begins just about as strong as it starts.
Can you feel it?
Amadeus Aderby can you feel it?
Yall finished or yall done?
Did you laugh or did you lose?
This can’t be happening, they are gone now
Sad stuff but I am glad they went out in their own terms

R I P
This is the album that made me realize what music could be. I had only heard what my parents played on cassette and what was on the radio until one fateful evening while i was watching toonami in the early 00's. Interstella 5555 blew my FUCKING mind.
It's such an incredible album. At first, I kind of had the mentality that the first four songs were some of my favorite songs ever and the rest of the album just goes downhill. Now, I think every song on here is essential and it's one of the most consistent albums I've heard. The first FIVE songs (after I realized how amazing Crescendolls was, the shaky synths and diverse instruments are great) are all huge, energetic bangers, and Nightvision is a beautiful ambient song that leads you into Superheroes. That song always gives me a ton of energy, it seems repetitive at first, but the synth lines at the end are absolutely beautiful. High Life brings another fantastic/unique sound on this album, and even more energy. Something About Us is absolutely beautiful and devastating, with some of their best synths. Voyager has some AMAZING bass lines and synths, and is their most underrated song by far. Veridis Quo is just stunning, and Short Circuit's quirky and all-over-the-place synths lead into one of the most melancholic moments on the album. Face to Face provides a really accessible and enjoyable style to the album, that features some INCREDIBLE samples and production. Too Long is an amazing, epic, and energetic ending.
Same here. My first impression when I heard that record was to shuffling to the main titles (One More Time, Aerodynamic, Harder Better Faster Stronger...), then leave the quieter tracks. I thought too that "Too Long" was, indeed, too long. But Once I saw Interstella 5555, I couldn't say that any track could be expendable. So I learned to love the album in its entierety.
Dan 8bit fucking same bro. I feel like discovery has been a lot of this generations introduction to well crafted music
Dan 8bit Did I make this comment at some point or something? Because that's the actual same upbringing that I've had hahaha
Really hitting it where it hurts, huh CZcams?
Face to face is possibly the greatest song ever made imo
Too long is my personal favorite from the album
20 freaking samples
AGREEEEE
@@mumfordboydylan8450I can't stand that one
Sounds too repetitive
Love that song
i honestly consider daft punk as the greatest band of the last decades. their songs are so carefully layered and complex yet they feel so intuitive. guy and thomas' conception of music seems so magicaly out of this world. however, what is the most admirable is their ability to deliver an immense variety of deep, complex, raw feelings through electronic voices and sounds. those two robots truly are the most human musicians out there.
sincerely, from a girl who can't stand electronic music.
Cloey The coolest part about it, is that Daft Punk's vision was accomplished on cheap, crappy hardware. Proves you don't need millions in studio gear and instruments to make a great record.
I agree with EVERYTHING you just said. I’m screenshotting this comment and adding it to my favourites
Beautifully said.

You need to listen to aphex twin and squarepusher, that will cure you of your dislike for electronic music

Give it a couple more years for him to actually get the message of that album
It was way ahead of its time. Really hope Melon comes back around for a 2nd try one day. Truly an artistic masterpiece.
This man is most likely sad he asked this.

Is it too early to make a classic review for "Angelic 2 The Core"?
HotRodKimball That album is already timeless
Its never too early
"ends as strong as it finishes"
Thick as a Biggles never even thought about it
lolfert It doesn't make sense
Pretty sure the vocals you think are auto-tune are actually a vocoder sound. I'm pretty sure all of the Daft Punk's robot voice singing is vocoder work and not auto-tune.
there is no way anything off of human after all is autotune so he can stop right there if he's going to
James Wright It goes like this;
AutoTune
-One More Time
Vocoder
-Around the World
-Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
-Almost everything on Human After All
Harmonizer
-Digital Love
-Something About Us
Actually in Digital Love and Something About Us that's actually them singing with extremely heavy autotune. They're the only Daft Punk songs that use their real voices I think.
Talk-box.
Pretty sure he means Digital Love and Something About Us
The last half of this record gets forgotten about a lot, but "Something About Us" and "Voyager" and still two of my favorite songs.
Voyager is exquisite
Please review my divorce
Apush 24 Classic
I don’t know if saying that “This album is great background music for my virgin sacrifices” was very thought out. Still staying subbed though.

still watch this video every once in a while, amazing way of describing the album ant.
hi pad :)
pad ur noise music vid was a net negative to music discussion
I love this album so much. It reminds me of high school, but like the good parts of high school not the parts where I failed algebra and people made fun of my hair...
so is algebra an entirely different subject for ye Americans
Same with me. I don't love it because its particularly good (it isn't), but simply because of the memories.
Bro relax algebra wasn’t that bad
But geometry tho……
@@jamesg1827uhhh… trigonometry, calculus?
Discovery one of my favorite albums of all time
Best daft punk album
Great album
Best album
It's my favorite album of all time. Even though the past couple years I've been much more into hip-hop and I'm pretty much done with the EDM-phase I went through in middle school, it's still my favorite album of all time. That should speak to how much sheer quality is packed into this album.
We need another Daft Punk album.

"It's aged well. I may have been a bit harsh on this hidden gem. Better than Money Store. CLASSIC/10"
Digital Love. the ending solo is a portal to pleasure while high.
The vocals are the best part
You're about 16 years late. Too Long

Me (a moron): "Iglesias" is pronounced just like it's spelled
Melon (genius): "Iglesias" has an invisible "n" in there and it is very pronounced

Review Anna Kendricks teeth
I don't think that she'd just give our her teeth to Anthony and let him review them

Did someone say KENDRICK?!
My Personal ranking of Daft Punk's albums
*#4: Human After All*
Very disappointing, after the amazing record that was Discovery, this album was just meh, for Daft Punk at least. They seemed to adopt a strange, new sound for this album that sounds a lot like Justice, with a lot of electronic "wahs". It's not horrible, for an album overall, it's great and definitely one of the best albums that came out in 2005, but not up to DP's standard.
*#3: Homework*
What a great start to a legend. Everything about this album changing the EDM scene has been said, so I'll say this- this is an amazing album. The songs established a distinct sound, with its wonky sampling and flows. Around The World, Da Funk, and Revolution 909 are perfect and catchy. My only problem is that there are a few too many songs, and some of them are forgettable, like Burnin', Teachers, and the caboose Indo Silver Club, which I can't say are classics.
*#2: Random Access Memories*
I love the guitar riffs on this album. I don't know why. They just sound great, very much like Chic, and that makes sense since Nile Rodgers was on this album. The vocals, a departure from Daft Punk's usual robotic voices, are great, Julian Casablancas and Pharrel Williams are some important highlights. This is essentially a funk album, and because of that, some people may not like it, but it's amazing.
*#1: Discovery*
I fucking love this album, I won't lie. This is my favorite album of all time, above even Dark Side Of The Moon and Sgt Pepper. I could for hours and hours on why this is a perfect electronic album, but what I love the most is how each song flows perfectly into each other, which still amazes me. "Digital Love", "One More Time", "Face to Face", and "Crescendolls" have very influential to me, and remain some of my favorite songs.
*Ratings (out of 5 stars)*

I just want to say, this comment deserves way more likes, you put so much effort into this thing

Hey same ranking, RAM gets far too much shit
I would also put the tron legacy up there with discovery and RAM, its so bombastic and stylish in the perfect way and is just an insane and unique listening experience that could only come from a duo like daft punk being told to score a movie. So good! 5 stars
@@brendanspaulding7930 I don't think it's considered an album.
But if it was 5 stars for sure
This is a 10, IT'S A FUCKING 10 GUYS
Review my 2002 Dodge Caravan
Daft punk are easily one of the most influential electronic music groups of all time and as you say they definitely impressed the mainstream with the album, need I mention how popular one more time is? (that's still seeing play time in clubs to this day)
I just love how daft punk can continue to innovate to this day with their most recent record
Demon days got mentioned CLASSIC REVIEW CONFIRMED
I love this album. Daft Punk for me are some of the best artists in the EDM world. They're fucking awesome. Alive 2007 is my favorite from them. Those remixes! They remixed their own songs with their own songs... EPIC!
Daft punk isnt just edm, they are TONS of diffrent genres such as French house, eltronic rock,synth pop, pop, disco, edm and MANY others
@@watermelown2536 EDM is a blanket term
They aren't EDM tho

but yeah that was 4 and a half years ago so I get it.
He's had the Discovery LP in the background in a whole lotta videos.

We'll give you another chance to review MBDTF as a classic review. Don't fuck this up Anthony. Or else I'm unfollowing you on cymbal.
Seanji Idfk it's a 7
Seanji Idfk Not going to happen
For it to be a classic it needs to be at least a little good though, right?
ha Cymbal
Seanji Idfk honestly
Review the classic MBDTF melon
NOT GOOD
This album is a turning point and an culmination. I bought it when it came out. To me, it was like discovering (lol) something I didn't know I'd been looking for. Nostalgic futurism. Robotic humanism. Naturalistic synthetics. Ironic seriousness. Sad happiness. It might be my favorite album of all time.
This is crazily well put
I think the term is Retro-futurism
he complained that a song called too long is too long jesus christ
I love it when Anthony reviews daft punk cause like he totally like turn tables it you know how needle really drops and shit you feel like he talks and shit and he breaths and shit you know and like he reviews that shit good like eatin a towel while laying in your 2006 Ford F-150 good. The brand new Ford F-150 features all wheel drive, a big piano that's falls on your head, a DVD copy of Home Alone 2: Lost In New York. The 2006 Ford F1-78 available at your nearest grandma's toffee jar for only 4.56 European dollars. Good job on this one Anthony!

Classic Review (?!)
BLΛCK SΛMPLE He hinted at it??
he has a review of demon days, he gave it an 8
thedudewiththepants I don’t thinks so he talked about in a vinyl collection but he just called it full and satisfying I think
tfw albums that came out while you were in high school start being considered "classic"
I'M NOT EVEN 30 IT'S TOO SOON PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME
GOD YES
Digital Love and Something About Us are the only Daft Punk songs where they actually sing themselves (not including around the world cause they only sing 3 words). They use really heavy autotune but it's them singing. Whereas with Harder Better Faster Stronger and all the albums since they've only used a vocoder or other people's voices.
Uh no I think HBFS is Thomas’ voice auto tuned to hell
@@butterygoodness8242 well it's a vocoder plus some fx and not just autotune like digital love and something about us
@@athanagames I’m pretty sure Something about us and Digtal Love use harmonizers
Why youtube recommend me this video today? A bad day.
how u just gunna drop a review of my fav electronic album of all time?? melon
Brandon Salas why you disappointed, he gave it the highest rating
Holy shit it's happened.
Well now we know he rates it a 10
This album was my introduction to electronic music and was really the foundation of what my music tastes came to be for a good 10 years down the line. Nowadays my tastes have shifted dramatically but Daft Punk is one of those bands which I will always enjoy listening to their tracks and one of the few things I get to hear on the radio (my job having the radio blasting 24/7 which I can't escape) that I actually enjoy fully.
I know digital love is definitely one of the more shallow tracks on the album but god damn does that guitar solo leading into the chorus at the back end of the song still gives me shivers. I think it's that good
Wait … digital love is not shallow
does classic/10 = 10/10?
pumpkinblush pretty much
7
I'd say at least a 9, not all his classic reviews are 100% positive to it
it means classic/10
pumpkinblush nah, some are 9/10. On rateyourmusic, he has Kid A rated with a 9/10 even though he considers it a classic
This album makes me nostalgic for the early 2000s and toonami anime. Such a gem

Nine Inch Nails- The Downward Spiral. Please. Pleeeeeeeease Anthony you know it deserves it.
A prime example of an "album" start to finish. One of the greatest of all time.
Yes
EmpLemon is pleased
Fuck yeah
The fact that pitchfork uploaded a liner notes video at the exact same time as this video makes this comment all the more eerie.
Possibly still my overall favorite album of all time. As you grow, it grows, you learn the depth of work put into it, you can see why virtually every dj is directly influenced by Daft Punk. Yet, none can match the genius as good as some modern producers may be.
Really showing me this now CZcams? Man.
Literally

What happened to best/worst tracks of the week? Theneedledrop? More like you were needle dropped on your head as a baby.

Classic/10
Face to face is the perfect use of sampling in a song
Dilla and French Robots know how to sample
And a UK garage artist who is actually American
Superheroes and Voyager are my favorite tracks from this album. This is one of my favorite music albums, it is a true classic.
Melon do your top 3 favourite songs for each classic album
I actually want a classic review on Arcade Fire's Funeral
Finally bought the vinyl yesterday after it had been out of stock for like over a year. Listening to it just now for the first time on vinyl, and man, what an INCREDIBLE experience. It's just one of those albums that sounds like it's been recorded yesterday, and it'll probably still sound like that in another 20 years. A perfect album from start to finish, and quite possibly in my top 10 albums of all time.
Yes!! I was so happy to see you review this, it's like listening to the album for the first time again when you talk about it! Thanks Onemorethony Timetano!
