Either way, your suggestions are terrific.
Daft Punk are big fans of Leiji Matsumoto, who oversaw the direction of the film. The film is the visual realization of Discovery, an album by Daft Punk. Each track from the album has been animated as an episode in the story of the abduction and rescue of an interstellar pop band.

So your statement is somewhat true. However, there is a story told from start to finish that flows from track to track. Matsumoto's character designs compliment the music well. It was essentially two groups of artists from two different mediums deciding to have some fun. Whether one can like the film is fairly dependent on liking Daft Punk. That said, it is unique and was well worth the effort put in.
