    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    After rocking the suburbs with the infectious and persistent "Da Funk" (with its amusingly pointless Spike Jonze video), Gallic pranksters Daft Punk unleashed Homework, an album that combined everything good about house music with everything bad about French pop and changed the face of dance music in the process. The sound of production duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem is a raw and dirty collage of cheap drum machines (wired for maximum swing) welded to endless filtered loops and embellished with everything from guitars to talk-box vocals. The beats are lifted straight from the Chicago House textbook, but the simple bass lines and catchy hooks make a listenable pop song from what would normally be a stripped-down DJ tool. Uncompromising yet totally accessible. --Matthew Corwine

    Album Description
    French band, a highly danceable mix of disco, house and techno, who just recently supported the Chemical Brothers on their European tour dates. The band is currentlybuzzing in the U.K. music press. 16 tracks. Domestic available on Virgin as of March 25, 1997.

    5 out of 5 stars Revolutionary   March 22, 2002
     14 out of 19 found this review helpful

    Before I start the review I must state the following -BUY THE CD.

    Now,

    Daftendirekt- 4/5 stars Not a bad beginning, leads straight into WDPK

    WDPK 83.7- 4/5 The sound of tomorrow. the Music of today

    Revolution 909- 5/5 Dance music, straight out. Not much other than a heavy bass beat but extremely good even then.

    Da Funk- 5/5 Song that made Daft Punk what it is, excellent. Fast, acidy, Jimi Hendrix with a synthesizer. If you like it, I suggest you check out the Chemical Brothers remix.

    Pheonix- 4/5 Good song, immediately likeable.

    Fresh- 4/5 Like Pheonix, excellent also.

    Around the World- 6/5 Best on the CD. Seven minutes of delirium. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE REMIX

    Rollin' and Scratchin'-1/5 Skip, thats all I have to say

    Teachers-4/5 Wierd, but I like it.

    High Fidelity- 3/5 Solid, definetly not bad.

    Rock and Roll- 0/5 Even worse than Rollin' and Scratchin', lowest point on album

    Oh Yeah- 5/5 I think this song is not generally liked, however I don't see what they are talking about, awesome. One of the few songs that was fun to listen to the first time through

    Burnin'- 2/5 Not extremely great, but bearable

    Indo Silver Club- 5/5 Great dance song

    Alive- 3/5 Ok

    Funk Ad- 4/5 Why couldn't they add this on to Da Funk? Not bad, a little short

    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.


    5 out of 5 stars Still my favorite album   July 29, 2000
     12 out of 12 found this review helpful

    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


    4 out of 5 stars Homework: The best of Daft Punk   January 28, 2006
     9 out of 9 found this review helpful

    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.


    5 out of 5 stars Homework Is Done!THIS GROOVES!   September 20, 2003

    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!!
