widely considered to be their worst album, but i’ve always appreciated the stripped back sound and consistent sonic palate of it. the distorted “yeah” bass synth they use on the whole album is THE sound I associate with Daft Punk, and along with the gritty guitars and deep fried drum machines this album really embodies the punk rock roots both members have. I also think there’s some interesting harmonic development going on in the songs even if songform wise they’re the most repetitive in the duo’s discography.
Technologic is easily a top 5 Daft Punk song for me, and is THE song that got me into electronic music when I heard it at age 6 for the first time. if approached as a true Robot Rock album, dance music does punk, I think there’s a lot to love. too many people compare it to Discovery and don’t appreciate it for what it has.
