Daft Punk - Robots After All

robotsafterall1.jpgHumans After All was a hoax after all! Of course Daft Punk would never release such a repetitive, loopy mess of an album. I've got a friend in the Toshiba-EMI Yogaku-bu (Western music division) who filled me in on the secret and slipped me the real DP release due to hit stores next month: Robots After All. Here is the single "Rrobot Rrock" - a vast improvement over the original hoax version.

Update: I took down the mp3 because it was too awesome.

Oh man was I relieved to hear the real Human After All record. I picked it up at Borders even though I was a little hesitant ... "is this going to be like that crappy leak?"
Luckily, it was not.
But ... I was still not totally pleased with the album. Daft Punk has some great ideas that they play around with on the album, but nothing seems to really come to full fruition ...

The leaks I had turned out to be the real songs.

hi.
i saw the video of robot rock an when its finished... it said in the info (MTV kinda interface ) Daft Punk - Robot Rock - Human After All

and the video was funny. kind of old school and with daft punk playing along the song. so. the album is a hoax ? the video ? the song ? what ?

hi david!
funny stuff! (especially since no one seems to get the joke) ... anyways, on the contrary to everyone else that say things about Human After All, I completely adore it. But then I have never expected anything else than a repetitive, loopy mess from them Parisiens. That's what they do, and how they do it! Am I all alone on this one?
