The robots seem a bit more depressed here, there is some underlying emptiness in these tracks, still bangs though.

I think this is their best, at least, arguably, the most influential. Regardless of that - personally, it's my favorite of theirs.

Interpol and Deutsche Bank, FBI and Scotland Yard. Business, numbers, money, people; computer world. I'm the operator with my pocket calculator. I'm adding and subtracting, I'm controlling and composing. By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody. Another lonely night, stare at the TV screen. I don't know what to do, I need a rendezvous; computer love. I call this number for a data date. I program my home computer, beam myself into the future. It's more fun to compute.

Somehow managing to sound older than 'The Man-Machine', this is their most charming record. But 'Computer World 2' is an unnecessary compilation of sounds from the album.

Computer World is an engrossing, spellbinding piece of work achieved from the dims of the 80's. Despite having 7 tracks, they are ALL unique, and somehow lead you on a journey. Definitely going down in one of my top 5 favorite Electronic releases.

Can you really call a record 'dated' when it's as wildly influential as Computer World? Listening to it initially is a disorientating experience, especially when compared to their earlier output, simply because you can't help but feel you've heard all this before. But then it sinks in, and you realize that the only reason this is so imitated is because it's so brilliant. Kraftwerk's sense of humour had been located, giving us the addictive, self-deprecating "Pocket Calculator" and "Home Computer". Their melodic instinct was on fine form, too - "Computer Love" was epic and beautiful enough to be stolen wholesale by Coldplay on "Talk", not to mention that it was a song about cybersex written a good 15 years before the internet was available in most people's homes. Computer World was the last great Kraftwerk album, and probably the one that best displays that the 80s simply wouldn't have happened without them.
