Disco de Daft Punk: “Homework”

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

When I bought this album I listened to it and was amazed. I love the songs on this album. Here is a list on a scale 1 to 10.

Daftendirekt-10/10 (Solid beginning, nice beat.)

Overall:

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.

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!!

While this is one of the greatest house/electronic albums to have been released in the 90s, this latest vinyl pressing from Virgin may be problematic. I purchased this vinyl from my local record store last night, and when I first opened it and looked at the vinyl under light it looked a little warped, seeing grooves going across other grooves at parts throughout (on both sides of the A/B side). Then when I played it, there were constant bumps and pops and skips throughout every song. I didn't bother listening to the C/D vinyl, and promptly returned it.

When I talked to the employee at the record store, they said they had had the same problem with other people buying the same album. I have a feeling there may have been a large number of defective pressings.

Try to get an earlier pressing of this album, or be lucky and buy this one and get a pressing that isn't screwy.

Amazing album though.
