Portraying the state of pop as a series of predictable formulae long since exhausted by corporate superstructure, Human After All more than lives up to its name, rendering a metaphor for failure on the grandest yet simultaneously most personal of terms.
The album was released on March 14, 2005 as Daft Punk’s third studio album, being recorded all in under a month. Critics had titled Human After All as Daft Punk’s weakest production with its experimental rock-house sound. They quickly changed their reviews with Daft Punk’s Alive shows with their renditions of songs like Robot Rock and Television Rules the Nation being mashed with previous hits, producing an undeniable stellar show.
Human After All released four singles, Human After All, Robot Rock, Technologic, and Prime Time of Your Life. The album reached number 1 on the Billboard US Dance/Electronic charts.
