fucking frog bastards.

I think you're being a little hard on them. I also can't get past many of the songs on the album (not anymore- now that the novelty has worn off), but there are two songs on the album that are so goddamn good they pretty much balance things out, if not bring the album to an overall "win" status on their own.
Those songs are "Doing It Right" and, especially, "Contact." Two of the best song 2013 has offered up, and my two favorite Daft Punk songs ever.
Most of the rest of the album is just unlistenable, especially as a followup to Discovery, which is probably the dance equivalent of Loveless, for old fucks like me who have to have an early 90's point of reference in order to even comprehend most modern music
