Daft Punk - Discovery REACTION/REVIEW

[@nym5qu17]

face to face is one of the best house tracks ever made imo. Its comprised of like 36 or so odd samples, absolutely mindblowing.

[@pete0246]

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

Well that’s one way to put it, LMFAO

Best comment ever

[@sarang8585]

so excited for season 4 this might be my favourite music channel on youtube

live love smags

[@pa_radigm]

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

[@Nowaysis_]

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!

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

agreed

[@triton199]

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

[@chriscahill5306]

You should check out Cross by Justice, it's another electronic album with a more aggressive sound, it has so many bangers

[@wormengine]

yes pleaseeeeee

[@pa_radigm]

This.

[@HO-yc3pv]

This. And dare I say... better than DP

[@Chilipotamus]

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.

[@sickbeet4219]

@@HO-yc3pv Nah, but they're pretty close for me.

[@dfkdb6249]

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.

[@ozzy6771]

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.

[@jaaqob2]

maybe controversial but Daft Punk > The Beatles

[@kanyesouth3126]

Don’t show your a face in my London neighborhood gang. 😤 These Brixton streets ain’t big enuff. 🤺

[@nostalgia_clinic]

What a bozo 🥴

[@feli6277]

I don't agree necessarily but it's a cool opinion tbh

[@nathanda8647]

Agreed Beatles are soooooo over rated

[@pythonstone]

It's valid

[@kookykalabazas]

17:30 Song: 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼 Smags: Just take me away. Song: ✨🎼🌌✨🎼🌌✨🎼🌌✨🎼🌌✨🎼

[@bbro_ow]

Context for Face to Face. They use like 20 samples

[@manhattenman6075]

Masterpiece of an Album

[@1gnore_me.]

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

[@Chilipotamus]

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

[@Chilipotamus]

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

[@bsblh4248]

Now we need moon safari asap

[@illgillbates9561]

🏵 I been sayin' this. Lesgoooo

[@WilkinsonGeorge]

This album blows me away every time I listen to it

[@zachsharkattack8681]

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! 😮

[@lexartu]

Aerodynamic and Digital love are my favorite 🖤

[@nostalgia_clinic]

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 🍻

[@mud2294]

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.

[@bulletfastspeed]

You GOTTA check out Daft Punk's album Alive 2007. It's definitely my favorite thing they've done, it's insane.

[@happycrimson]

face to face is like the 2nd best song u trippin ❗❗(love u tho good reaction king)

[@carsonwentz8301]

Something About Us

[@bjrndencker6728]

i know i have reccomended them before but candyclaws are so peak and i really think you'd like them

[@smags1082]

Definitely going to do that one soon

[@totomenace64]

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.

[@argkitsune]

Tracklib's video is out of date and misleading

[@totomenace64]

@@argkitsune Could you recommend a more up to date one so I can change it? I am willing to accept criticism.

[@argkitsune]

​@@totomenace64Undrtune has a great video breaking down Face to Face.

[@J25-p3h]

Xtal is always there when we need it

[@illgillbates9561]

I agree! epic outro

[@nateh9917]

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.

[@triton199]

@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]

Its actually a recreation not the original sample

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

@@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.

[@keithmorrison8373]

@@pc_buildyb0i935 yeah it barely even sounds like the original its transformative

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

@@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.

[@Klui_]

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.

[@lockhz5619]

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

[@illgillbates9561]

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

[@desperatelycravingahamsandwich]

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.

[@nosivadbor]

Agree. Need some 70’s jazz on here.

[@desperatelycravingahamsandwich]

@@nosivadborIt's not 70s, it was made in 2021!

[@nosivadbor]

@@desperatelycravingahamsandwich I bess check that out!

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 😂

[@7n154]

Around the World. Around the World.

your reaction to the intro of "Something about us" instantly made me sub lmao

[@josecamiloesquivelcalderon3966]

Now Justice, another amazing french duo 🙏

[@brunocastanheira8594]

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.

[@slamkos]

we in this smags season 4 let's get some good album picks listen to Fugazi - Repeater

[@earkittycat]

A bunch of music i listen to were found through your reactions! You review quite varied genres of music.

[@dancingheroes]

baffled at face to face being the least favourite!! it's on of their best, the vocal chop is phenomenal. loved your video tho

[@jbomb7867]

This album rocks. Undeniable classic.

[@DocHikes]

Such a great album. Reminds me that we need some Chemical Brothers reactions too!

[@xEskel]

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.

[@NicoHen]

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

[@mattheww4862]

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"

[@assburg]

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

[@timajo]

i highly recommend the mars Volta - de-loused in the comatorium.

[@nostalgia_clinic]

Another vote for The Mars Volta

[@twomonthsrrr]

Injury Reserve - By The Time I Get To Phoenix. For the love of god please Smags.

[@james_raymond222]

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. ❤️

[@nostalgia_clinic]

I’m here for the emo…especially some Brand New!

I was about to sleep, but when I saw you posted this I had to watch, lol

[@sarahwills4975]

let’s go!!!!! smags house music era ? ? ?

[@ZenixRulez]

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)

[@stellathediver2]

You should check out You Forgot it In People by Broken Social Scene! Super essential for the time period

[@ladovacheishvili7921]

literally a definition of a W person

[@jaaqob2]

also a very good start to season 4!

[@riskyfueI]

Babe wake up new Season of Smags just dropped I agree about the last two tracks. Always loved this album but it kinda ends on a dud. 'Too Long' is just that imo I know you liked Long Season and 98.12.28, I'd be curious what you thought about Uchu Nippon Setagaya or one of their earlier albums like Orange.

[@BlamedAxis]

lol the lyrics listed for Aerodynamic are actually for a remix by Slum Village, idk why they are on the OG track

[@tylercallagher3485]

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.

[@cupuacu4life13]

I WAS NOT EXPECTING XTAL AFTER TOO LONG LMAO Check out the sockett girl remix, its my fav

[@mostlyharmless1957]

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.

[@faithinserenity222]
