Review: The Looks 9/10

The fallout left from Daft Punk's hideous creation Human After All created an opportunity for someone to take "robot-dance-flame." Death from Above 1979's Jesse F. Keeler and Dj Al-P teamed up to create MSTRKRFT and found whatever it was that Daft Punk lost in the process of making Human After All.
The Looks starts off with their obvious single "Work on You" which is extremely catchy a la "Harder, Better" etc. At the start of the song vocoder voice croons "I'm gonna work on you/until you're feeling right/I'm gonna make you mine/under the disco light"
wow.
The icing on the cake is that the video for this song is indeed animated, and yes done in the same style as Interstella 555. Moving along we get to track 3 "Shes Good for Business". Here they follow the standard dance song recipe: loads of claps, synthy basslines, and lots of girls singing "I gotta shake it" Yes, yes you do.
"Paris" is the next song and basically if you took Mylo and Daft Punk and mixed them together you would get this song. +5 more really dancey songs that will make you dance.
So, nothing new here in this album, its just that its done really well. From start to finish its no BS straight up shake-yo-booty-to-dis-beat. Daft Punk undoubtedly wishes they could have made this album.
