Not really. Very few people can do what they did with the Alive 2007 tour and looking at the people working on this album, it's hype is 100% justified. They are working with people that have produced some of the best songs and albums of all time.
Plus their hype gets inflated due to their robot persona. There's a certain mysticism about them.

While it's true they're very overhyped, be glad that it's going to artists that at least deserve some degree of credit. Could be a lot worse.
...And it could be a lot better but oh well
I don't have anything else to say so I'll just post this badass gif instead.

I don't know if overrated is the right term. They're putting a lot of effort into the whole marketing and hype aspect of this album and thus this release is getting a lot of attention. It's also their first studio release in a long time and they're coming off a pretty massive tour plus a well received film score. There's a lot of pent up excitement for new Daft Punk music.
Also, I'll admit to finding the whole robot look to be kinda neat.
Is it superficial? Sure. The music is what counts, no matter how shiny their helmets are. But people like getting excited about things. Especially when other people are excited about that same thing. It's fun. I'm sure if others put as much work into pre-release media and hype for their albums they'd get a lot of attention also since you are right in saying there are a ton of great artists working today, but they don't. Some because they don't have the means, some because they choose not to.
Not everyone can be as in tune with music as people like you (not sarcastic since your avatar is Lawrence, what a legend).
bad post, feel bad.

After making "Get Lucky" my studying song for finals for the past two weeks, my hype for this album is through the roof.
Most GAF'ers are from the US. It's the most important release date for GAF Punk, I guess. That's the reason why I put it at the top even though I'm from Holland, haha.

Guys, I'm hyped.
Good points. I just find it curious. Homework aside, neither Discovery nor Human After All were exactly met with universal critical acclaim (in the case of Human After All it was the opposite, although I really like it). Their last three studios albums charted at 150, 44 and 98 on the US charts, and although they're undoubtedly more popular in Europe, I would be surprised if this one doesn't hit close to number one in the US this time around. I guess the single has a lot to do with it, but there was plenty of hype even before that. They've definitely got savvy marketing brains.
I believe they're available through the weekend. 27 hours remaining.

Do we know if this bitch will be on Spotify or not? My pre-order depends on that.
They're certainly more notable for their marketing than they are for their music. And if anything, I think Get Lucky tempered the hype.
To make the wait a little easier, have a listen to this DJ set from Cassius, Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon recorded at an event in 2002.

I know that's from the Pitchfork teaser, but is that clip from Electroma?

If you would check the peak position on the charts for each album discovery is way higher.
Homework got them attention but discovery made them relatively huge.

Releases on the 17th some places
If the month I decide to try out Rdio Unilimited is the same month that Spotify gets RAM first, I will be very sad.
