i think Daft Punk sounds rather like disco, not my sort of music at all. I've tried to understand where the magic comes in as far as the rave reviews go for this record but I don't see it. Listened to it three times and it sounds exactly the same as it did the first time. Nothing revealing, nothing lost or gained. It's trite, complacent, and boring. The same old sounds over and over again; there's no feeling to a bunch of computer generated thumping. And the lyrics are mirrored in the music, flat.
While U2 always seem to invent themselves anew they also keep things human, alive, and passionate. The moment that quirky noises and repetivtive lyric overshadow their soul at the core of their music, well it will be an awful day to be sure.
