Human After All is the third studio album by French electronic music duo Daft Punk, first released on 14 March 2005 through Virgin Records.

Human After All received mixed reviews from critics, who were wary of its minimalistic, repetitive nature and considered the record to be inferior to their previous works.

[11] He said that both it and the 2006 film Daft Punk's Electroma are "extremely tormented and sad and terrifying looks at technology, but there can be some beauty and emoting from it".

[13] Leading up to the release of Human After All, promotional CDs of the album were distributed with tamper-evident seals, as well as individual watermarks to identify each recipient.

[15][16] In 2013, Spin wrote that the official release of the album had been ill-timed, as it occurred after the end of the "major-label electronica movement" of the 1990s, but before the rise of independent dance labels such as DFA Records and Ed Banger.

[20] Tony Gardner directed the video for "The Prime Time of Your Life", though Bangalter predicted that it would be impractical for promotional use due to its graphic content.

[26] It peaked at number three in France[27] and received a double gold certification from the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) one month after its release.

[38] In his review for Blender magazine, Simon Reynolds said that Discovery's blissful and "open-hearted" music had been replaced by "an archly ironic dance-rock that feels desultory and numb – verging on autistic".

[43] Barry Walters of Rolling Stone said that the duo generally "repeats rather than elaborates its riffs", and that they "exaggerate their band's own robotic tendencies here, much to the detriment of its grooves".

[44] Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian called the album "a joyless collection of average ideas stretched desperately thin".

[16] Robert Christgau from The Village Voice graded the album a "dud",[46] indicating "a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought".

[50][51] Pedro Winter, Daft Punk's manager at the time, stated, "When we put out Human After All, I got a lot of bad feedback, like, 'It's so repetitive.

We have always strongly felt there was a logical connection between our three albums, and it's great to see that people seem to realize that when they listen now to the live show".

[56] On 9 August 2014, this version of the album was silently released internationally for the first time, containing an additional remix of "Technologic" by Le Knight Club.
