Daft Punk: Human After All

YES, IT'S HARDLY out yet or anything, but after the leak on Monday I witnessed what had to be one of the most intense fracturings of opinion over a long-expected album in a while. To pick just one example, the ILM thread is only just slowing down after a week where comments ranged from "so. fucking. amazing." to "cheated and pissed off," and tempers were running high. There is no consensus at all about this album, and already there's a classic out of nowhere rumor that Virgin might just cancel the release due to some of the more virulent reaction. Be funny as heck if it turned out to be true!
