Daft Punk's "Homework" is a fantastic record, with some of the catchiest dance tracks ("Around The World") and most rocking anthems ("Da Funk").

Daft Punk owns the master recordings (instead of Virgin) and licensed Parelephone Music France for the album release.


1. Daftendirekt- A nice start to the record. Distorted bass vocals lead into a good beat and cool synths. 

2. WDPK 83.7 FM- A little clip of a radio station ad. Short but totally sweet. 

3. Revolution 909- A funky bassline and some house synthesizers make up this 5 min. track. Nice party track.

4. Da Funk- A clap-along beat, pulsing bass, then those awesome guitars/synths.

5. Pheonix- A kick, hi-hats, then those synth riffs. Cool track. 

6. Fresh- The title describes this track right off the bat. Not only does it feel clean and fresh, it's funky fresh. 

7. Around the World-  Bubbly synths, funky bass, nice beat, the vocoder-ized vocals...fantastic dance track.

8. Rollin' and Scratchin'- This, in my opinion, is the worst track on the record. The kick is distorted to a crunchy noise, and the screechy fuzz is annoying. The beat's okay, though.

9. Teachers- "Dr. Dre is in the house, yeah." Daft Punk name artists who have inspired them over a funky 70's bass guitar and a raw beat.

10. High Fidelity- Daft Punk's style of sampling split-seconds of songs to create a collage of unintelligible vocals over a beat. A cool track. 

11. Rock 'n Roll- A better version of "Rollin' and Scratchin'" with handclaps.

12. Oh Yeah- I tend to skip this one, it just is people saying "oh yeah" over a noisy beat. Not horrible, but not that good. 

13. Burnin'- This track's fuzz is much less screechy and annoying, this one's a pretty quality track. The walking bassline is funky and cool, and the drum machine beat is cool too.

14. Indo Silver Club- Great for the dance clubs. It's cool how the flange beat warps in and out. 

15. Alive- There's a very raw, live feel to this track. The kick and the beat almost sound like factory noises, and the synths are cool.

16. Funk Ad- A little 50-second clip of "Da Funk" reversed. Like "WDPK 83.7 FM", short but sweet, and a good way to end the record.
