Daft Punk recorded Discovery in their studio, Daft House, in Bangalter's home in Paris, France. [5] Work started in 1998 and lasted two years. [6] Bangalter and Homem-Christo made music together and separately, in a similar process to Homework. [2] Rather than rely on the drum machines typical for house music, the Roland TR-808 and the TR-909, Daft Punk used a Oberheim DMX, a LinnDrum and a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks. [2] They used samplers including the Akai MPC and E-mu SP-1200, and Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, vocoders including a Roland SVC-350 and a DigiTech Vocalist, and various phaser effects. They used the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune on vocals "in a way it wasn't designed to work". [2] Bangalter said: "We're interested in making things sound like something other than what they are. There are guitars that sound like synthesisers, and there are synthesisers that sound like guitars." [2] Discovery was mastered by Nilesh Patel, [5] who also had mastered Homework.

Ben Ratliff from Rolling Stone was less impressed and wrote that few songs on Discovery matched the grandiosity of "One More Time". He found most of them "muddled – not only in the spectrum between serious and jokey but in its sense of an identity." [55] In The Guardian, Alexis Petridis felt Daft Punk's attempt to "salvage" older musical references resembled Homework, but was less coherent and successful. [50] Pitchfork critic Ryan Schreiber found the " prog and disco" hybrid "relatively harmless" and said that it was not "meant to be judged on its lyrics", which he dismissed as amateurish and commonplace. [52] Robert Christgau, writing in The Village Voice, facetiously said the album may appeal to young enthusiasts of Berlin techno and computing, but it was too " French" and " spirituel" for American tastes. [58] In a retrospective review for The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), Douglas Wolk gave Discovery three and a half stars and wrote that "the more [Daft Punk] dumb the album down, the funkier it gets" with an emphasis on hooks over songs.
