"We all know the album is great. But the 2CD limited edition is worth every extra penny/ounce of time you spend tracking it down. It comes as a beautiful glossy book, with 50 pages of photos, and an amazing bonus disc featuring the encore (Human After All and Music Sounds Better With You!). BUY THIS."
Fantastic Album! Brings Back Memories of the Concert! Harder

"This is absolutely fantastic album! It is like an orgasm for your ears. Daft Punk truly masters the art of mixing in this fantastic blend of all their past and current greats. I was at the July 27th Alive 2007 Concert @ Berkeley and this really brought me back to it. I relived the concert when listening to this CD. The crowd cheering, clapping, and singing along really adds to the ambiance of the recording. The One More Time / Aerodynamic mix was really something special and you could feel the energy of the crowd exploding! The deluxe edition is worth the extra money because you get this really nice case which includes a booklet with pictures from the Alive 2007 tour which featured the most amazing light show I have ever seen. And the second CD has such a great mix. When you pop the second CD into your computer it goes to fullscreen and you can watch the awesomeness that was the Harder Better Faster Stronger Alive 2007 performance live; it is even cooler because it is shot from close to a hundred angle (Daft Punk handed out video cameras before the concert and told people and then compiled and mixed them into this great video!).
Overall this might be the best album Daft Punk has ever produced. I know that I love it more than any of their others (and I LOVE their others haha). I would recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of dance, pop, electronica, or music in general. It is a pleasure that your ear drums are begging for.
This album is just harder, better, faster, stronger, and more technologic than anything you have ever heard and you need to show it some digital love at least one more time after you originally listen to it, because we are human after all, and not superheroes. It won't be too long before da funk leaves us and we are no longer alive. So let us robot rock!"
Buy it from iTunes

"Excellent album. Poor service from Amazon. I pre-ordered this from Amazon weeks before the release date, and then they say it is unavailable and cancel the order. Do not offer it if you cannot provide it.
The same music is available through iTunes and it comes with a PDF of the 50 page booklet offered with the limited edition CD."
Daft Punk is playing at my house

"Daft Punk integrates more sensitivity into their music than the average electro band. The duo's robotic avatars seem to explore the very boundaries dividing humanity and technology in their music. The welcoming cheers of the crowd are penetrated by digitized voices. HUMAN... ROBOT... HUMAN... ROBOT... the words slowly merge and overlap, a literal and figurative fusion, which becomes a crushing chorus of the legendary Robot Rock, while the audience screams its approval. The mood shifts slowly but constantly throughout, and when the end nears some sixty minutes later, the listener can really feel the euphoric state of fatigue that grips the crowd.
Overall, the listening experience is exciting and supremely entertaining. This is a concert, and as such it's a gift to the deepest fans. Daft Punk takes some time to mix and remix and improvise some tunes. Any follower will appreciate some of these unfamiliar, catchy sounds. On a technical level, the sound is vast and altogether excellent, although not as consistent as a studio recording, being a live show in open air. In two or three spots, it sounded as if the pickup mics had taken as much sound as they could handle and were at the mercy of God-knows-how-many thousands of watts. But these minute, insignificant distractions actually made me enjoy the sound more, as I imagined the impossibly huge PA system blasting forth its cacophony of pressure waves into the crowd.
So the bottom line is, you follow Daft Punk. Maybe you've got all 3 studio albums. Maybe you've got Interstella. Maybe you've heard of Electroma. Well, there's no reason you can't take an hour or two, fire up your shelf system or your surround sound and enjoy the sensation of a colossal Daft Punk concert playing at your house, at your house.
