Daft Punk's third studio album, "Human After All," debuted on March 14, 2005, under Virgin Records. Unlike their previous disco-infused album, "Discovery" (2001), which took two years to produce, "Human After All" embraced minimalism and improvisation, blending heavy guitars with electronics in just six weeks.
 
Critics offered mixed reviews, citing its repetitive nature and swift production. Despite this, singles like "Robot Rock" and "Technologic" made waves internationally, with the title track finding success in France. These tracks became staples of Daft Punk's acclaimed Alive 2006/2007 tour.
 
Despite criticisms, "Human After All" soared to the top of the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2006.
