BUY IT NOW.
Worth the grab, highly recommend buying it as the gatefold is thick I mean THICK and each LP was in it's own LP sleeve protectors; sadly tho it's the only thing I disliked about it because it's the rounded bottom ones and being the gatefold is thick it was hard to get it back into the gatefold without the LP in it. still 10/10 tho.

Daft Punk's Best Album
I cannot emphasize enough how spectacular this 5-star album is. How much creativity and effort is poured into every single one of these tracks. To me, this is the album that defines Daft Punk - Melodious vocals, well placed beats, perfect timing, and unique musical ideas. One More Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Something About Us, Voyager, Short Circuit, Face to Face, and Too Long are all quite exceptional tracks, and none of the other songs are mediocre enough to be labeled album filler. Let's get right to the song by song analysis:1. One More Time - 5/5 Stars. This track is absolutely classic. A shimmering music track with perfectly timed vocals and beats. Very fun to dance to. It doesn't matter if you're a techno fan or not. No one can dislike this song.2. Aerodynamic - 5/5 Stars. A remarkable track. Very well put together, with an interesting sound and very rapid notes. This song is very creative, and takes on an almost magical sound from 2:30 to the end. This song is extremely cool. Not one of Daft Punks most famous tracks but it should be.3. Digital Love - 5/5 Stars. Catchy, well timed beat. Cute vocals. Cute lyrics. This is a very feel-good song. Like Aerodynamic, the track gets more and more awesome as the song progresses. At 3:25 a crazy guitar riff is added, giving the song a wild climax to 4:25. Then the song cools down to a peaceful ending.4. Harder Better Faster Stronger- 5/5 Stars. Probably one of Daft Punks most famous songs, and for good reason. This song is perfectly timed with progressive vocals and an irresistible beat. Extremely fun to dance to. It's also fun to see how long you can keep up with the vocals before you run out of breath. It's hard to describe what makes this track so epic. You just have to hear it.5. Crescendolls - 4/5 Stars for techno fans, 3/5 Stars for casual audiences. There's only one word to describe this track: weird. But if you're like me and love music that is creative to the point of strangeness, you will enjoy this track. More casual listeners, however, will think this sounds pretty nasty. This one's harder to dance to. This song is good, but not on the same tier as the first four tracks, and probably too weird for many people.6. Nightvision - 4/5 Stars. There's nothing wrong with this song, except it doesn't feel complete. Well under two minutes long, it doesn't feel like a song. It is also quite un-danceable. To its credit, it is well put together and very soothing to listen to. Again, no real complaint here, just not as epic as the first four tracks.7. Superheroes - 4/5 Stars. A good track. Steady beat. Well timed. Danceable. However, the lyrics are extremely repetitive, which isn't a problem for me, but take it down a notch from the awesome vocals in One More Time, Digital Love, and Harder Better Faster Stronger. Altogether, a solid track, but not outstanding.8. High Life - 4/5 Stars for techno fans, 3/5 Stars for casual listeners. Same story as Crescendolls. A high pitched voice shouting BAAAM, BUUUM, BAAAM, BUUM over and over. This song is just silly. But, as a fan of creatively weird techno I still enjoy listening to it.9. Something About Us - 5/5 Stars. A sublime, relaxing song with touching vocals. Like Nightvision, not a danceable song. I love this track. Like Digital Love, it shows that techno can make love songs too, and good ones at that.10. Voyager - 5/5 Stars. This song is delightful. A distorted bassline under a shimmering track. At 2:16 a quick xylophone-ish note progression is added, meshing perfectly with the first two musical elements. Not very danceable, but overall as good as the first four tracks.11.Veridis Quo - 4/5 Stars. Similar to Nightvision, only a complete song. It progresses very slowly, but very naturally, and grows more and more complex. Soothing to listen to, but not danceable. A great track.12. Short Circuit- 5/5 Stars for techno fans, 3/5 stars for casual listeners. Excellent song from 0:00-1:40. The first 1:40 is great for breakdancing and extremely catchy. Then the song slows down, to a riff that grows more and more distorted until the song ends. Near the end the track gets very choppy. Casual listeners will hate this part. As a techno fan I find this intriguing and melodious in its own way. Very creative, very catchy at the beginning and very interesting at the end.13. Face to Face - 5/5 Stars. Brilliant. Creative. Great vocals. Fascinating beat. I would go as far as to call this the best song in the album. The music is all over the place, but somehow makes something perfectly harmonious. We then move on to great vocals with a steady beat in the background. The song also has an interesting message to it, but I'll leave the lyrical interpretation to you. I wish this song was a lot longer. It feels like the ending is way too early, especially for a techno song. I think Daft Punk should've extended this song another 2 minutes. But as it stands, it's still an absolutely brilliant, catchy, danceable song.14.Too Long - 5/5 Stars. Well, it's a 10:00 minute song called "Too Long." The question stands- is this song literally too long, or is it 10 minutes of quality music? I would say the latter. It has a natural progression with great vocals and an interesting message. When the beat finally kicks in at 1:38 its very catchy and danceable. The music gradually swells, ebbs, and changes, over the duration of the song, but remains interesting and catchy. An excellent end to the album that is certainly not too long.Discovery is a shining gem among techno albums. Even if you're not much of a techno head, you'll find a great deal of these songs enjoyable. This is the best $9.49 I've spent in my life, but you're making a huge mistake if you leave this page without downloading "Face to Face" at the very least. Thanks for reading!

Saw interstella 5555 in theatres and had to buy this. I wish I could get the movie cover art version, but those were scalped into oblivion 😓.

Tiny bit of warp, but plays great.
At several points I thought the record was skipping, but it turns out that's just what Daft Punk music sounds like sometimes 😂. There was a tiny bit of warp which didn't affect playback on disk 2 (sides c and d).No skipping or static noise for me during playback.
