I think that Daft Punk has mastered their craft. I genuinely don't know what to say, this was just an incredibly great album, at least on par with Discovery. The duo have near-perfected their groove and rhythm here, with every track being infectiously funky. The sound alone is phenomenal, thanks to the unique integration of the synthesizers they're known for. Oddly enough, this album feels more acoustic when compared to Discovery, despite it using the aforementioned synths and sci-fi vibe just as much, if not more due to the heavy emphasis on themes of space and the future. The more relaxed overall tone makes the songs even better just for casual listening or having on in the background while still retaining the detail and complexness that makes it amazing to really analyze as you listen and pay attention. And the addition of having other artists on to record and produce some of the songs helps for the tracks to feel distinct from each other to ensure that it doesn't get repetitive and stays fresh the whole way through while also maintaining a strong core to keep everything connected and coherent. I really am at a loss for words here and can't recommend a listen to this album enough, even after a single listen myself.
Highlights: Giorgio by Moroder, Instant Crush, Lose Yourself to Dance, Touch, Get Lucky, Motherboard, Contact
