Discovery created a new generation of Daft Punk fans. It also saw Daft Punk debut their distinctive robot costumes; they had previously worn Halloween masks or bags for promotional appearances. Discovery was later named one of the best albums of the decade by publications including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor . In 2020, Rolling Stone included it at number 236 in its list of the ” 500 Greatest Albums of All Time “. In 2021, Pitchfork cited Discovery as the centrepiece of Daft Punk’s career, “an album that transcended the robots’ club roots and rippled through the decades that followed”.
