Best Album?

Discovery

Plenty I like about their other albums, but I love the entire Discovery Album. I remember back when discovery came out, prior to me listening to it, and there were people talking about how they liked homework more. Then I listened to discovery and was like wtf are they talking about.


It's Discovery.

I'm an expert.

But I'll take Short Circuit over Too Long.

Used to jam to Short Circuit in my first car. '91 Honda Accord with a sunroof, windows down, volume blaring, tight sweatpants on, and headbands. The ending just decays and it's still so nice.
 
In my opinion, it's Discovery.

So many great tracks, I can pick any song (other than Short Circuit) and I know it'll be enjoyable.

I agree with the OP.
 
Toss up between Homework and Discovery. I can probably listen to the latter more often but their debut is no slouch.

Edit: High Life is the only track from Discovery that should be singled out, if any.
 
Literally have had songs from Discovery and Alive 2007 stuck in my head for the past 3 weeks. Those two for sure, Discovery beating Alive 07.
 
Homework is a super important album but Discovery is just simply one of the best records ever made.

I think Discovery is important too. I don't know how many people give Kanye credit for making Daft Punk and electronic music more mainstream than they were at the time. There was a slow shift, but Kanye using Harder Better Faster Stronger turned a lot of people onto music that they may not have given a chance to otherwise and sped up the rise of EDM. Shortly after, Will I Am was ripping off Daft Punk.
 
Alive 2007 was a transformative album for me.
It was basically my musical awakening, it's stayed with me ever since and I listen to it regularly. Easily one of the best albums of all-time.

I consider it the peak of that era of Daft Punk and I'm glad they went in the direction they did with RAM and I can't wait to see what they do next.
 
Tron: Legacy is probably the one I listen to the most. Discovery is a classic and I like Random Access Memories a surprising amount.
 
Alive 2007 is great only because it does new things with the songs you already know and love, but Discovery and Homework gave you those songs in the first place
 
Am I not a real DP fan if RAM is the only album I like?

Well, their tron stuff was good too...
Enjoy what you enjoy, and don't worry about people judging your musical taste.

Those are my two favorites as well, but I at least appreciate Discovery even if I don't listen to their other albums much.
 
I say Discovery for which I think is objectively best, but I've always like that, Homework, Alive 2007, and Tron: Legacy as great in their own rights.

RAM didn't do it for me, eh.
EDIT: Forgot Human After All, ha ha. It's all right.
