Discovery has got to be one of the best feel-good albums of all time. Every track’s a banger and it’s almost impossible not to bob your head along to the beats
Just to add some context to this album, it was developped at the same time as an animated movie called Interstella 5555 (The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem) which was released one year later and is basically a 1h10 long clip for the album. I feel like the songs and the pacing make way more sense while coupled with the movie, and I would 100% recommand watching it. Anyway another good vid keep it up!
toonami premiering interstella during the midnight run turned a lot of people on to daft punk for the first time, myself included. still in my top 10 fave albums of all time
Digital Love is one of my favorite songs ever. Also- you would love Depression Cherry by Beach House considering how much you loved Bloom. It’s some of the most beautiful stuff I’ve ever heard.
I cannot appreciate enough your open ear for music. The variety of album reviews on your channel is wild and covers so much of what I enjoy. Keep that shit up
Bruh he's back into the electronic music reviews, and with Daft Punk of all artists! This album has a very special place in my heart and I'm so happy you got to experience it and appreciate it. Fav track for me is Voyager, that bassline is funk funk funk.
Jesus! I forgot how good the production is on this album, all the crazy pannings and super tasteful drum samples and sounds great on any decent headphones.
10/10 album man, so ahead of it’s time but also sampling the songs of old, that Daft Punk themselves grew up with and love. That’s why it feels so nostalgic! Digital Love makes me cry dude. Face to Face being your least fav is crazy to me, that’s one of my favourites! Also Too Long is the perfect ending IMO, just a long, building, dance party celebration. Love it.
Also, vibing hard to Something About Us is absolutely the right thing to do. I've long held that it's one of Daft Punks' best works and it's good to see people come around to/appreciate it the right way
Hey Smags. If you ever feel like re-listening to this album, i recomend you check out Interstella 5555. Is an animated movie made to go with the album. Sort of like a music video, it really complements the album and is a worth experience.
Such an amazing album, really showing what electronic music could be, I hope if you enjoyed it, you also eventually do Random Access Memories, very different in style, but oh so good.
Wonderful choice, as always. Speaking of wonderful choices, you should choose Blue Rev by Alvvays as your next reaction. One of the best albums of the past couple years. Indie rock/alt pop with some hints of shoegaze. It's a pretty short listen too.
A crazy listen for the channel would be Jane Doe by Converge. So many genres have been changed and started because of this album, combining elements of punk, hardcore, metal, noise, and even mathy elements. May be a harsh listen but theres 0 stops to take a breath, constant energy
everyone knows one more time, but to me aerodynamic is when the album truly reveals itself. one of the greatest guitar solos of all time on a fucking french house album, lmao. they went fucking crazy
For those of you who are curious about the sampling work (pioneered by the likes of Todd Edwards) done on Discovery, check out Tracklib’s video on it which basically breaks down those samples, reconstructs the song, and then plays the actual song back to back. Really cool. Also if you’re extra curious, Bandstand has an expanded video on Daft Punk’s samples outside of their work on Discovery.
One of my favorite electronic albums ever. If you want to be transported, watch their anime movie Interstella 5555. It uses this album as the score and is honestly mind blowing
Love the videos! A few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan or White Pony - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)
JON HOPKINS - SINGULARITY. YOU WILL LEVITATE THROUGH THE CEILING. YOUR INNER EYE WILL GLANCE INTO THE HIDDEN CHAKRA OF SPIRITUALITY AND TRANSCENDANCE (spelling mistake on purpose). Thanks.
Smags, I implore you with all my heart to listen to Promises by Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders. It is in my top 3 albums of all time even though it's only come out two years ago. This was Sanders' last record before he passed- it is a 45 minute long spiritual jazz piece composed in 9 movements. It's my current pick for the best album of the decade so far. I cannot recommend this to you enough.
literally discovered you like 4 days bro but i love the channel, if i hadn’t already listened to half these albums i’d definitely make a similar channel myself lol. Anyways, can’t wait for RAM soon ( and hopefully do room of fire soon )
Love your videos man you really pay attention to what’s going on, would love if you react to Up the Bracket by The Libertines, an influential band that perhaps doesn’t get enough recognition
@2:45 the vocals for One More Time were done by Romanthony, and the sample used was Eddie Johns 1979 track 'more spell on you'. first heard discovery when toonami aired the first part of interstella during the midnight run in 2001 or 2002 and its been one my favorite albums since. its pretty much what i'd consider a perfect album
@@keithmorrison8373 That's just because most recreations don't get the sampling or the production right. I have one on my channel, but it was before I figured out I was missing one more set of samples. I have a recreation now that's practically spot on, but it required so much processing it's not even funny. It also highlights Daft Punk's production process.
Please review their other albums, i'd love to hear a reaction to their live album Alive 2006, but it requires having heard Homework and Human After All as their live album mashes up their songs together to create new songs and is arguably their best work.
I concur. 'Justice - Cross' is the album. Somewhere during this review I was reminded of that one too, it's the same era for music and sound, different but not unlike Daft Punk. Worth checking out
I guess as far as the Beatles reactions go, the easiest would be to do a watchalong. So you could set up a timer and go 3, 2, 1, and play, and ideally the viewer would play the song along with you. (muted on your end) It's something ive seen other channels do, howevery it can be quite tedious and might mean people won't end up watching the whole video. Also means that if you want to pause you'll have to redo the countdown from a certain point.
You have to react to Daft Punk's Random Access Memories now haha edit: Homework is also a must, I guess I may as well say the whole Daft Punk discography then 😂
Goated album!!! Got the robots tatted 🖤 you need to listen/watch the alive 2007 set. Also there was an anime movie made to accompany the album called interstella 5555 worth checking out 😵💫
definitely recommend you watch the anime movie they created to go along with this album, it made me love the album 10x more. it’s called interstella 5555 if you want to search it up!!

Because it feels like they chopped it up and faded some parts in variation. Sometimes it sounds like "something's in the air", other times I heard "come through the air"
you should check out cosmic messenger by jean-luc ponty, it's king crimson tier prog but more ethereal. the intro to me is on the same tier as starless
face to face is one of the best house tracks ever made imo. Its comprised of like 36 or so odd samples, absolutely mindblowing.

Still remember my discovery of this daft little punk smags and our digital love has only gotten harder, better, faster, stronger 😩💯

You should check out Cross by Justice, it's another electronic album with a more aggressive sound, it has so many bangers
yes pleaseeeeee
This.
This. And dare I say... better than DP
Oh man he's gonna be out of his chair listening to Justice. I got to see them at Red Rocks and it's one of the top 5 shows I've ever seen, period.
@@HO-yc3pv Nah, but they're pretty close for me.

Got this cd when it came out. I was like 7 years old- changed my musical taste for life! Digital Love is still one of the best songs ever
Now we need moon safari asap
🏵 I been sayin' this. Lesgoooo
First video of yours Ive seen, full respect for getting Nightvision. That song is so underrated!
A bunch of music i listen to were found through your reactions! You review quite varied genres of music.
Classic and a must listen, even for people not really into EDM.

Now Justice, another amazing french duo 🙏
maybe controversial but Daft Punk > The Beatles
Don’t show your a face in my London neighborhood gang. 😤 These Brixton streets ain’t big enuff. 🤺
What a bozo 🥴
I don't agree necessarily but it's a cool opinion tbh
Agreed Beatles are soooooo over rated
It's valid
Dawg you killed the reaction ❤🤟
I needed that plastic bubble pop today, ty mr. consistent 🙏
w video random access memories is great too. different from this album but still one of my favorites
Damn wasn't expecting this one. Time to shake our asses 🔥🙌
A crazy listen for the channel would be Jane Doe by Converge. So many genres have been changed and started because of this album, combining elements of punk, hardcore, metal, noise, and even mathy elements. May be a harsh listen but theres 0 stops to take a breath, constant energy
Recommend Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories. Then when you hear Doin’ It Right hopefully you’ll be motivated to dip into the 🐐 that is Panda Bear 🍻
I didn't even know you hadn't listened to this. To my surprise I wake up to a video of you listening to one of my favorite albums of all time! 😮
You GOTTA check out Daft Punk's album Alive 2007. It's definitely my favorite thing they've done, it's insane.

I was about to sleep, but when I saw you posted this I had to watch, lol
Love the videos!
A few recommendations:
Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production)
Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production)
Koi No Yokan or White Pony - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo)
Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)

JON HOPKINS - SINGULARITY. YOU WILL LEVITATE THROUGH THE CEILING. YOUR INNER EYE WILL GLANCE INTO THE HIDDEN CHAKRA OF SPIRITUALITY AND TRANSCENDANCE (spelling mistake on purpose). Thanks.
Starting off Season 4 of The SCU (Smags Cinematic Universe) with a 10/10 album is perfect.
let’s go!!!!! smags house music era ? ? ?
also a very good start to season 4!
your reaction to the intro of "Something about us" instantly made me sub lmao

Its actually a recreation not the original sample
@@keithmorrison8373 No, it's the original sample. It's actually 4 different loops and sampled from More Spell on You, and they are HEAVILY processed.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 yeah it barely even sounds like the original its transformative

My second favorite album EVER! Please do Random Access Memories by Daft Punk or Cross by Justice next, please.
baffled at face to face being the least favourite!! it's on of their best, the vocal chop is phenomenal. loved your video tho
This is one of my favorite albums of all time for sure. Would love to see your reaction to some more of their work, or some Gorillaz
You should check out You Forgot it In People by Broken Social Scene! Super essential for the time period
face to face is like the 2nd best song u trippin ❗❗(love u tho good reaction king)
Around the World. Around the World.
Damn I wish I didn't know all these albums so I could experience them for the first time again.
Well, tuning in to lord SMAGS is the next best thing 🔥
Please review their other albums, i'd love to hear a reaction to their live album Alive 2006, but it requires having heard Homework and Human After All as their live album mashes up their songs together to create new songs and is arguably their best work.
Listen to justice first album! Its similar in a different way from Discovery and even one of the songs sampled in Lil Uzi Vert's Pink Tape Album
I concur. 'Justice - Cross' is the album. Somewhere during this review I was reminded of that one too, it's the same era for music and sound, different but not unlike Daft Punk. Worth checking out
we in this smags season 4 let's get some good album picks
listen to Fugazi - Repeater
i know i have reccomended them before but candyclaws are so peak and i really think you'd like them
Definitely going to do that one soon
Hey there Smeezy, great video. Loved the bubble wrap. Anyway you should listen to some Quannnic or some Tool you might enjoy that. See you next video
They will grow in you bro believe me
Claaassic mah g
absolutely legendary album
Man, your playlist went right into Aphex Twin at the end.
LETS GOOOOOOO
Promises by floating points would be amazing
Would love to see an Iceage reaction, check out plowing into the field of love.
this is a perfect album
really unexpected, i fucking love this album dude!!!
ts got me dancing at work rn
Xtal is unpausable. Love this album too

i highly recommend the mars Volta - de-loused in the comatorium.
Another vote for The Mars Volta
Xtal is always there when we need it
I agree! epic outro
literally a definition of a W person
“Blue Bell Knoll” by Cocteau Twins and “And Their Refinement of the Decline” by Stars of the Lid
Hell yeah album 121! I hope 122 is Modern Vampires Of The City by Vampire Weekend
Contra first please, but otherwise yes!!!

One of the great albums of the last 30 years.
You should definitely check out the samples used for this album! There’s a video breaking them down on RUclips
We’ve got waterslide music, sensual healing synth waves, and a sudden urge to jump rope. What more could anyone want in an album?
You forgot it in people soon!!!! Would be appreciated
Gotta love this album can’t go wrong. 😀
I like R.A.M more personally tho. Snags I’m gonna keeps commenting this but please through up an Emo pole soon when ever you have time to put it in the works. Deja Entendu is an amazing Emo album.
Love you Smags. ❤️
I’m here for the emo…especially some Brand New!
I never checked the lyrics for Superheroes. And I genuinly always thougth it's: "Consume the Error" with extra emphasis on the last part of Err"OR".
"Something's in the air" just doesnt feel right :D
Because it feels like they chopped it up and faded some parts in variation. Sometimes it sounds like "something's in the air", other times I heard "come through the air"
Crescendolls is probably my favourite
you should for sure listen to rage against the machine’s self titled and evil empire both !!
you should check out cosmic messenger by jean-luc ponty, it's king crimson tier prog but more ethereal. the intro to me is on the same tier as starless
I hope you give the alive 2007 album a chance, its awesome if you like discovery, alive 2007 is the next level
one of my favorite albums of all time, you can let it flow and it goes amazing.
i recommend you to reviewing Replica - Oneohtrix Point Never
haha
no like for you 😜😝🤪
Do another Beach House album, Teen Dream and Depression Cherry are both essentials
Try Air's Moon Safari for some more sensual Gallic disco vibes!
You should try their very first album Homework, by far the best one.
Mr2Kgod’s reaction of Homework is wild, I’d love to see more house music reactions on yt tbh
