History Music / HumanAfterAll

Many songs from the album were incorporated into Daft Punk's Alive 2006/2007 Tour, along with songs from their previous albums; the tour alongside its companion live album, ''Alive 2007'', [[VindicatedByHistory caused many to reassess the album]], and public opinions are now more favorable.

# "The Prime of Your Life" (4:23)

Daft Punk did not give interviews to promote the album, as they believed this would contradict the album's depiction of the media as oppressive; the only official statement they gave was: "We believe that ''Human After All'' speaks for itself". (Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, the other half of the duo, later opined in 2013 that refusing interviews was the biggest mistake they had ever made.) They instead opted to promote it through music videos for the album's four singles: "Robot Rock", "Technologic", "Human After All", and "Prime Time of Your Life". Videos Bangalter predicted that the "Prime Time" video would be impractical for promotional use due to its graphic and disturbing content. Attempts to make

Many songs from it were incorporated into their ''Alive 2006/2007 Tour'', along with songs from their previous albums.

''Human After All'' is the third studio album by electronic music duo Music/DaftPunk, released on March 14th, 2005 through Creator/VirginRecords. As opposed to ''Music/{{Homework}}'' and ''Music/{{Discovery|DaftPunkAlbum}}'', which were more dance-oriented, ''Human After All'' is more of an electronic-rock album, though the dance influences are still there.

Upon its release, it received mixed review from critics, mostly for its repetitive nature and the fact that the entire album was produced in only six weeks (with four of those weeks spent mixing). Despite this, the album's songs "Technologic" and "Robot Rock" managed to chart in several countries, the former of which was sampled in Music/BustaRhymes' "Touch It", and many songs from it were incorporated into their ''Alive 2006/2007 Tour'', along with songs from their previous albums.

* EpicRocking: “Emotion” is 6:57 long.

* LimitedLyricsSong: Every single song (with the exception of 20-second interlude “On/Off”) is built off of repeated lyrics. The only possible exceptions to this trope are the TitleTrack for having TWO sections with DIFFERENT repeated lines (so shocking) and “Technologic” for having about 50-60 things you can do to ‘it’ (plus the title).
* LongestSongGoesLast: Closer “Emotion” is nearly 7 minutes long. No other song reaches 5:30.
* MadnessMantra: “The Prime Time Of Your Life” definitely feels like this, especially if you watch the video. (Warning: The video is a source of NightmareFuel for many.)
* MoodWhiplash: Throughout the entire album; some of the more poignant examples are the dark, unsettling song “The Prime Time Of Your Life” being followed by the upbeat “Robot Rock” (even more noticeable if you’re listening to the album on {{Website/YouTube}} where the two music videos are much, much different), soft, serene “Make Love” directly preceding “The Brainwasher, which is straight-up threatening, and “Technologic”, an energetic, up-tempo song, directly preceding the slow and melancholy “Emotion”.
* NewSoundAlbum: Human After All is much more heavy and emotionless (despite having a song called “Emotion”) than their first two albums.
* PerformanceVideo: The video for “Robot Rock” plays this completely straight. This comes across as a little odd comparing it to the other two music videos of songs from the album. (NightmareFuel warning for the other two.)
* {{Sampling}}: Used much more sparingly than on the two albums preceding it, but “Robot Rock” heavily samples “Release The Beast” by Breakwater, “The Brainwasher” (much less heavily) samples “Iron Man” by {{Music/Black Sabbath}}, and “Emotion” samples “Technologic”, the song that comes right before it!
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: “Make Love”, a soft song with clean guitar and calm, smooth vocals; especially so since it’s sandwiched in between “Steam Machine” and “The Brainwasher”, two of the most heavy, unsettling songs on the album. “Emotion” too, though less so because it’s still electronic-rooted and the fact that it’s the album closer as opposed to being shoved in the middle.
