    A magical album that you can listen to and enjoy many times. Every track has its place and even filler tracks such as 'Voyager' are pleasant and intriguing. Particular Strength is found in the electronic synth solo of "Digital Love" and the catchy melodic hook of "One More Time" A Must have album in anyone's music library.

    What an album. Watched Interstella 5555 and that didn't disappoint either. In my view one of the greatest, innovative albums of all time, with already classic songs such as 'One More Time' and 'Digital Love' featured. Apart from the slightly dodgy track 'Nightvision' Daft Punk have excelled themselves.

    I'm a song lover, i hate albums, but it happens that every song on this album is great, and some of them really brilliant! It's music that you can feel related to in a personal, intimate way. Very very underrated, best of Daft Punk, and probably one of the best albums ever.

    This is the album that made me realize I like dance music. Nearly every track is fun, inventive, and unique in the way it sounds. My personal favorites are the first and last tracks, "One More Time" and "Too Long". When I first listened to this album I didn't care for it that much, but it only took me one more listen to fall in love with the music. This is Daft Punk's best album, and should be in the library of everyone who enjoys music.… Expand

    How strange that this album received some bad reviews. It covers all bases - catchy pop, driving trance, electro house and, perhaps most acutely, sombre electronica in Veridis Quo. Some beleaguered reviewers need to put this in their stereo again, turn the sound up to 11 and enjoy a smorgasbord of electronic rhythms.

    This is one of the best albums I've heard in 10 years. Every song is a new discovery - fusion of 70s or 80s disco and funk produced with second millennium house style. They manage to make everything sound fresh and unique and yet strangely familiar. Its definitely the most emotional house music I have ever heard (if that was their goal they achieved it). So, it wasn't like the Homework album. But why make another Homework album? Thank you Daft Punk for this wonderful breathe of fresh air.… Expand

    While this album is nothing compared to "Homework," It still lives up to the Daft Punk name. The music is variously creative. Each track has it's own mood and style, and it's an album you'd never get tired of listening to.

    “Discovery” is absolutely amazing. Don’t be fooled by the sub par and repetitive opening track. I was less than impressed when I heard “One More Time” back in 2001. What got me interested in the album was when I heard 10-Voyager. This album is dense, complex, and predominantly instrumental. Almost all of these songs are completely unique and full of creative energy. Musicians will love the technically brilliant way the songs progress and the regular music listener will love the passion and enjoyable feel of the music. Lovers of jazz, funk, and classical music (such as myself) will most enjoy 9-Something About Us, 10-Voyager, 11-Veridis Quo, 2-Aerodynamic, and 3-Digital Love. The only track I dislike is 14 because it is too long. I am not trying to be funny, and they shouldn't have either. Still, this album is worth much more than the $21 bucks I had to pay for it.… Expand

    This is one of the most critically underrated albums of this decade. That is to say it was underrated initially: most critics have taken the path of revisionism and finally recognized that this is easily Daft Punk's greatest, and in my opinion, the greatest dance and electronic album of this decade. Includes masterpieces: One more Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love, Harder/Beter/Faster/Stronger, and Something About Us. Rating: 9.4/10.0… Expand

    I say this Discovery was much better than Homework. This album is so very disco. But it is still very good. "One More Time" did really well. It was like #1 on the billboard dance/club chart for 3 weeks, #2 on the most of the dance/club charts in Europe.

    Discovery is an album that can never date. It sounds like music that was made 20 years ago but somehow also sounds like music that will be made in 20 years time. How they can pull off being so blatantly cheesy yet so universally loved is a testament to the sheer brilliance of the songs. Its one of those few albums that comes along every couple of years in which every track is a new adventure rather than just a filler. A Truly amazing record.… Expand

    Absolutely no idea how a score as low as 73 can be justified. Anyway, just thought I'd bring the reviews to an even 100. And as you can tell by the user scores, the general consensus is that the critics really did mess up on this one. The only weak tracks here IMO are Nightvision and Short Circuit. All other tracks have their merits, from the futuristic hyperbole of Superheroes to the laid-back groove of Voyager right to the unadulterated Prince-esque funk of Too Long. Absolutely stellar, and a 10 if ever I heard one.… Expand

    I was hooked the first time I saw "One More Time" on MTV2. I wasn't the least-bit disappointed when I purchased and listened to the entire CD. I loved it! It surprised me when I saw the video and realized the character designs were done by Leiji Matsumoto. I'm a huge fan of Anime, and immediately recognized Matsumoto's work when I saw "One More Time".

Probably one of the most involving and captivating albums I have heard since Dark Side of the Moon. Yes, DARK SIDE. I actually compared this with Dark Side. Why?

    The many intricate and complex songs of Daft Punk's masterpiece "Discovery" are extraordinary. Full of catchy, melodic hooks such as that in "One More Time" and "Verdis Quo". Even "Too Long" is actually too short. Futuristic, ahead-of-its-time, innovative classic.

    "Discovery" is such a refreshing and innovative album. Their is so much creativity in it. It sounds completely different from their first album "Homework". "Aerodynamic" has one of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard, "One More Time" makes you wanna get up and just dance, and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is just a magnificent song. But then other songs such as "Nightvisions" is basically looking at Daft Punk at another angle, so to speak. It shows another side of them that were not used to from their first album. And that's definitely a good thing. All In All, "Discovery" by Daft Punk is an innovative and original album that I can proudly say is one of my favorites. A-… Expand

    Es un buen disco, con canciones muy buenas y la musica esta muy bien. La letra de las canciones aunque en español suenen ridiculas en ingles suenan muy bien. Solo tengo un palabra para este disco: Perfecto.

    Sincerely, this is a great, great album. I don't listen this type of music, I like rock and metal, but this album it's so... powerful. This album introduced me into the house music, and deserves a 10.

    An amazing album. Really great dance music, but you can still listen to it casually. The album may feel just a little repetitive, but honestly, I don't think you'll mind.

    One of the greatest electronic album's of all time and will be remembered as such. Perfectly captures the emotion and tone of childhood and youth, my first experience with Electronic music and I feel unbelievably lucky to have lived through such an amazing piece of Art.

    This, my friends, is musical perfection. Everything about this album is perfect. The individual tracks are amazing, and what makes Discovery even greater is that every track has its place. This makes it especially great to listen to the album as a whole. You need to have heard this album. Trust me when I say it doesn't get much better than this.

    Very underrated by conventional critics, this album is one of Daft Punk's finest and my personal favorite album of all time. Every single track is excellent and enthralling to listen to. If you loved it be sure to complement your experience by watching Interstella 5555.

    This album is amazing! It is the best of Daft Punk. All tracks are awesome, especially Aerodynamic, Harder Better Faster Stronger, and Digital Love. Absolutely buy it!

    My favourite album of all time. It's magical. I highly recommend watching the interstella 5555 movie. This album made them known as the French robotic electronica gods that they are. Most tracks are so dynamic: it starts with a fresh intro, then comes the main beat followed by an epic twist halfway through the song and ending with more beauty. Listen to Aerodynamic, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Digital Love, Face to Face, Veridis Quo or Voyager and you'll know what I mean… Expand

    Matching Homework in quirkiness, buoyancy, and club-ready freak-beats, Discovery combines the best of what Daft Punk has to offer: mid-'80s synth-pop ("Digital Love"), sleazy euro-funk ("Harder Better Faster Stronger"), shake-your-booty electro-metal with spacey guitar effects ("Aerodynamic" -- Basement Jaxx meets Eddie Van Halen), and minimal, big-beat tunes that Underworld wishes it would have thought of first ("Superheroes").

    Not enough of this album delivers on the promise of [lead single] "One More Time."

    The duo's ingenuity and willingness to push the envelope shines as brave and completely commendable. [Apr 2001, p.90]
