Albums First Released in 2001

The garage-rock revival arrived in 2001, while electronic pop, metal and hip hop continued to widen their reach. Albums that help explain 2001 include Discovery by Daft Punk, Is This It by The Strokes, Toxicity by System of a Down and Gorillaz by Gorillaz.

Daft Punk joined house music with pop memory, the Strokes made short guitar songs feel new again, System of a Down brought political intensity to metal and Gorillaz treated the virtual band as a full album project.

Our Pick of the Year: Discovery by Daft Punk

Discovery joined house music with disco, soft rock and childhood pop memory. One More Time, Digital Love and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger use samples and vocoders without making the record feel mechanical. Its bright surface and careful sequencing helped electronic dance music reach listeners who did not usually buy club records.
