Robot Rock (Maximum Overdrive & Soulwax Remixes) - 4 track EP Track Listing:
1. Robot Rock
2. Robot Rock
3. Robot Rock
4. Robot Rock
Editorial Review:
The First Single to Be Taken from Daft Punk's Third Studio Album, "Human after All", is the Body Thumping, Guitar Drenched "Robot Rock". The Video for the Song is Directed by Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel De Homem Christo. This Will Be their Second Foray Into Directing (They Directed "Fresh" from the "Homework" Album) and is a Natural Progression for the Pair, for Whom Visual Creativity Has Always Been Key. One of the Album's Most Thundering Tracks, "Robot Rock" is a Classic Daft Punk Moment - in Your Face, Unapologetically Over the Top, and Still a Devastatingly Classy Piece of Disco Magic. With their Trademark Vocal Effects Leading You Into the Tracks Signature Sound, a Brilliantly Beefy Electro Scale, it Once Again Shows their Skill at Crafting Five Minutes of Sheer Abandonment from a Small List of Ingredients. Remixes Come Courtesy of Soulwax and Daft Punk Themselves.
Robot Rock (Maximum Overdrive & Soulwax Remixes) - 4 track EP Reviews:
Awesome Single 
2007-01-02 - I bought Human After All when it first came out, and loved every song.
Last week I bought this album and lemme tell you, the two remixes on here are Freakin' Sweet!
The Maximum Overdrive is really intense, and the Soulwax Remix is pure Robot gold,showing off everything the song could possibly be.
Good Buy if your lookin' for more Robot Rock
You're talking nonsense... 
2006-09-30 - The Maximum Overdrive remix is over-the-top good. And the Soulwax Remix is F'ING PHENOMENAL INSANELY GOOD!!!
For Daft Punk Completists ONLY 
2005-07-25 - The remixes are good only for those that have a computer to skip the rediculously long, drawn-out, and poorly thought out EP.
Maximum overdrive is really more of Daft punk saying "These are the different vocoder samples we were playing with while making Human After All, all 72 (sic) of them. And now here's the different rhythms and hooks we toyed with but never really made the cut into the album... stuck together."
Soulwax remix is same idea but borrows the slow-to-faster-hokey-pokey used in "Primetime of Your Life" and glues on the 2 guitar riffs for 85% of the song. Fantasmic Disaster.
Really, if you love Daft Punk soo much that you're a completist (like I am), then you've probably already bought it. But if you can't decide on this EP or the Technologic EP (1st or 2nd), get either of the Technologic EPs. They were much more planned and as a result give a better performance than this whole CD can give you.
Oh and check out Vitalic. He rocks Hard just like Daft Punk did.
hey this ain't too bad 
2005-04-29 - hey don't listen to the other guy the single isn't all bad i mean some of the mixs are kinda cool but sorry no video actually it is just the same track from the album the first one is an radio edit but how can you tell really but it isn't all bad but listening to the mixes can get boring and getting the album would be better........ so what's my point?
It's a good song, but this is a crappy CD. 
2005-04-17 - I like Robot Rock, but when you get the subpar Soulwax remix (which does eventually become tolerable after a minute and thirty seconds or so), and the bizarre Maximum Overdrive track, it sort of kills the glory that is Robot Rock. Why buy this when for two dollars more you can get their whole fabulous new album?
