Daft Punk returned in 2005 with their first new studio album in four years, entitled Human After All. This was their third studio album to date and the follow-up to 2001's Discovery. Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo recorded the ten tracks of the new album in just six weeks between September and November 2004, in their home studio in Paris.

As ever, the music is diverse and fresh whilst retaining their trademark Daft Punk sound, this time with a more spontaneous and direct quality to the recording. A mix of guitars and machines, Human After All takes us from the hardcore "Brainwasher" to the pumping "Technologic", with the addition of rockier tracks such as "Robot Rock" and emotional moments such as "Make Love".
