Human After All
Human After All is the third studio album by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk, released on 14 March 2005 internationally and a day later in the United States by Virgin Records. With this album, the duo took a more minimalistic and improvisational approach to their music using a mixture of guitars and electronics. A remix album, Human After All: Remixes was released exclusively in Japan. Human After All was Daft Punk's last studio album to be released by Virgin Records. - Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Sadly living up to the album's title, Daft Punk follow the exquisite, joyous Discovery with a record on which they seem to be going through the motions and, for the first time in their career, sounding like cynics.

NME
‘Human After All’ reveals more of what lies in the hearts of its reclusive creators than they’ve ever allowed us to see before.
-
Tiny Mix Tapes
This new album only proves one thing: Daft Punk are humans. And to err is human, after all.
-
BBC
Regrettably, Human After All seems to be nothing more than Daft Punk fulfilling their contractual obligations to the record company.
-
Music AV Club
Daft Punk still comes off like a pair of robots ready to blast open the doors of any club that would lock them out, but they sound less than sure of what to do once they're inside.

Rolling Stone
Daft Punk may have become the victim of their own animatronic satire. :

Sputnik Music
Some "robot rock" that lasts a bit too long.
-
The Guardian
Human After All is a joyless collection of average ideas stretched desperately thin.
-
Slant Magazine
With Human After All, electro-enfants terribles Daft Punk demonstrate that they’re willing to defend their status as practically the only French pop-house act—no, make that the only pop-house act anywhere—capable of shaping solid, unified dance music albums. Rating: 3/5

Pop Matters
In such a manner does the band maintain a sense of balance and consistency throughout Human.

Scene Point Blank
If you don't dig repetition, steer well clear, but even so, there is more merit and necessity for it now than there ever has been. Believe me when I say that Daft Punk are back.

All Music
Human After All was made in six weeks, and sounds like it -- and not always in a good way: the quick-and-dirty recording process and limited palette of grainy synths, vocoders, and guitars do lend a stripped-down, spontaneous feel, but just as often, this minimal approach feels like it's supporting minimal ideas.

Music OMH
At best, Human After All is music to exercise by, if your gym doesn’t have any other CDs.

RTE
With 'Human After All', those critical knives are out again, but this time the thumbs down may well remain permanent.
