It's been 4 years since Discovery, and like its predecessor Human After All is loaded with analogue synths, vocoder voices and guitars. But gone is the bubbly pop sensibility of Discovery, replaced by a darker, angrier sound from start to finish. A fine example is the first single, "Robot Rock", a really danceable, body poppin' groove with a funky lead melody over stabbing guitar chords. Even more aggressive is the albums most "rockin" tune, the sinister "Brainwasher", threatening and best of all, the intro sounds like a homage to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". Like the aforementioned, most of the nine songs (and one interlude) are upbeat with the exception of "Make Love" and "Emotion", two gentler, chillout tunes that provide a good breather from the manic loops of everything else.
