4 years ago, I was walking around the campus of Ohio State University and I went into a record shop. In the little headphones on the wall, this album was playing. I liked it and so I bought it. I play it at a few parties and everybody starts to like it--people are playing it at parties from their own copy. Now, 4 years later, I've listened to a lot of hardcore dance music and Daft Punk is still way up on top. Reviews describe it as low-tech but good. I describe it as a record that had more thought put into it than 99% of others I've heard. It's intense. I recommend it all the time. Listen close, you'll probably hear it mixed in to the music at the techno clubs where you live. "Oh Yeah" is the worst song I've ever heard though. -Kyle6036@aol.com

This is in my opinion, the best Daft Punk album with its addictive hooks, beats and groove. A lot of people like Discovery better which has a lot more vocals , I say it's all up to you. I prefer as few vocals as possible in my electronica, and Homework suits me just fine.

I remember first seeing the music videos for "Da Funk" and "Around the World" on MTV (believe it or not) several years ago and just being completely blown away by the infectious dance beats. "Around the World" in particular really grabbed me by the jugular. It is by far the catchiest dance song I have heard in the past decade, next to Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head". The bass-heavy beat is incredible. Listening to "Around the World" brings back memories of me dancing (drunkenly) to this song in the nightclubs back in my college days. "Da Funk" was and still is equally cool in its own right. It is extremely catchy. I just love the synthesized beats. Just like "Around the World", "Da Funk" has that incredible deep bass hook that gets you on the dancefloor. As much as I love Daft Punk's follow up "Discovery", "Homework" has to be my favorite of the two cds. Granted that "Homework" lacks the warmth of "Discovery", "Homework" has a raw, live feel that its predecessor lacked. "Revolution 909" reminds me of something I have heard during my journeys to Chicago back in the day and my friends and I would be cruising to our favorite nightclub with the radio cranked up, and this song would be on the airwaves (more like a song with the same beat). I also love the shimmering techno track "Indo Silver Club" as well. Despite being seven years old, "Homework" still holds up to this very day which is not an easy task to do because trends comes and goes in dance music but "Homework" is an exception to that rule and it still sounds fresh and new to me.

Finaly a team of DJ's and samplers who actaully know what
their doing.Every cut on "Homework" emphasises dancibility above
all else."Teachers" even offers a funky shout-out to every artist
known and unknwon who influenced the two and of course "Around The World" is "Around the World".The memorable "Fresh"
and "Pheonix also stand out,even ammong a little indulgent DJ
turntable noodling here and there.But no matter how they do it
it seems Daft Funk would be a better name because these tracks
GET DOWN!!

Picture the scenario.....you're having a party, u need a cd that can a)serve as a backdrop for interesting convo and b)keep butts bouncin til da break'o dawn. Enter Daft Punk's Homework! These songs are built straight for the dancefloor. the beats are so basicially-infectious and the groves so tight, toes and feet cant help but to wiggle to them. Although not every track is a gem,(be wary of "Oh Yeah", "Rock N roll" and Rollin N Scratchin[unless u like german hardcore techno!]), the cd is a virtual built in rave! Stand-out traks for most bumpage are "indo silver club", "revolution 909", my personal fave- "hi-fidelity" and of course "da funk". All other cuts are treasures too, but hey, a review can only be so long. Overall, if u want your party to groove, put daft punk on and press "repeat" on your cd player. A.N.
