If you like Daft Punk, this will sure send you on a discovery...
I bought this CD at the CD store. I got it on my birthday. I heard it was a great CD, so I bought it. It was great! My parents and my nanny liked it, too! It has a little bit of funk, disco, and electro. I really liked how they mixed it all together! This CD was very good.

A very solid album...
Daft Punk's Discovery was released in 2001, and serves as the foundation for the Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem anime film. While Discovery was recorded before the animation was ever worked on, this can still be considered a soundtrack for Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. All fourteen tracks on the album are used in the anime, and the songs appear in the exact same order on both the CD and in the anime.
When I listen to Discovery, I can't help but see the images from the anime as I'm listening to it. In some cases, having the visuals in your mind (or seeing them in the anime) can help you better appreciate a song on the CD. This is especially true for the final song, "Too Long." Not only does it clock in at ten minutes, but the last half of the song is rather repetitive. This is a case where having the visuals of the anime help a listener to make it through the song and have a greater appreciation for it.
However, many of the songs on the CD are just as enjoyable with or without the anime visuals. The singles "One More Time," "Digital Love," and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" fall into this category. I also have an appreciation for "Aerodynamic," "Crescendolls," "Superheroes," "High Life," "Something About Us," "Short Circuit," and "Face to Face," regardless of whether or not I have the visuals to accompany them.
Overall, Discovery is a well-produced and solid album. I already had an appreciation for Daft Punk and the songs I had heard from the Discovery album before seeing Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. However, after seeing the anime, my appreciation for Daft Punk and the music on Discovery was greater than before I had seen the anime.

Curving ahead...
4 1/2
Discovery is the OK Computer of House music. Instantly and consistently transcending that genre, offering quite simply the closest thing to urban-middle-class-party-and-after-party-experience-via-compressed-audio to date. Admittedly I can see the case being made for a weaker second side, but it seems more a matter of sequencing since nearly every minute of this hour length future-flow brims with signature studio mastery.

OK, this (in my opinion) is the best Daft Punk album I've ever heard! It's a must buy for all of you Daft Punk fans!

Love the Daft Punk CD...
The CD sounded great!!! At first I thought the first song was scratched but then I realized it was a feature of the song! It's a great album!
