I found their last few albums to be rather weak, lacking innovation. Who knows, maybe in a few years after a break they can get back together with a fresh mind and produce something great.

#12Bands don’t seem to break up as often as they used to.
Bands don't seem to exist as often as they used to - everyone is a solo artist or a dj or a producer now

#13I’ll miss them, but they’ve made some terrific stuff so far, and I’m sure it gets hard to maintain that same level of passion indefinitely.
Best of luck with whatever they chose to work on next.

#14I genuinely feel like listening to Discovery on my discman on the bus in high school helped define who I am as a person.
On the one hand I find this news horribly disheartening, on the other hand I am thrilled to see them go out on top. They have never had a bad album, and I’m my opinion they only got better as they went.
Godspeed you beautiful robots.

#15I wonder if they tried to create something better than Random Access Memories for the last 7 years only to find out that it’s the best to leave it at that high note.

They've recorded a total of four albums (five counting the "Tron: Legacy" soundtrack)

#17I always thought Daft Punk figured out the perfect solution to the how to be famous problem. Everyone recognizes their artist name and their artist costume, but virtually no one knows their real name or would accost them on the street.

#18Best Daft Punk show I ever saw was Lollapalooza with LCD Soundsystem opening on the nearby stage. LCD Soundsytem closed with “Daft Punk is Playing..” and Daft Punk emerged in a pyramid and absolutely melted our faces.

#19This completely sucks. I had a bucket list item to see them live. Definitely my most listened-to artist ever. Best of luck to their next endeavors though, I hope they both continue to make music.
I was in the same boat. Just never seemed to be in the right place. 28 years is an incredible run.

I wouldn't discount the possibility of one-off reunion shows in the future, provided they parted on good terms (and that's usually the case when a band has been together 20+ years)
(FWIW, I was very smug that I got a ticket to one of LCD Soundsystem's goodbye shows. It was awesome. They reunited a few years later, released albums and resumed touring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
