They Brought Da Funk Around the World...

by noddy1 , Nov 24 '04
Pros: Hardcore fans will love it.
Cons: Everybody else won't.
...but that's about it, with the exception of a few select tracks. The members of French house duo Daft Punk were in a punk band way before they exploded on the charts, and their music was heavily criticized by a British newspaper as being "daft ...

Do Your Homework

by chug187 , Jul 22 '02
Pros: Has a great "in the club" feel; great for background music.
Cons: Repetitive - some songs last entirely too long.
Daft punk's debut, Homework, is an eclectic sampling of French dance music. Sharp cutting beats, rollicking base lines, and pure danceability are the definition of this album that's chock full of quite a few great tracks, though also some less...

Nous voulons de la funk

by noisey , Jun 23 '00
Pros: The French house album to own - "Da Funk," "Burnin'," and "Around the World" make an easy sale
Cons: Some tracks are not exactly for "outside-of-the-club"; listeners might find those annoying and form poor opinions of the duo
When you think of French electronic music, who comes to mind? Certainly, names like Cassius, Air, Dimitri from Paris, DJ Cam, Etienne de Crecy, and Alan Braxe are thrown about... then eyes lock around the room,...

Nobody Likes Doing Homework (or: Stop The Music, and Go Home!)

by moonwalker84 , Mar 07 '02
Pros: Tracks 2-4, 7.
Cons: Every other song on the album.
My first impression of Daft Punk was way back when I was 5 years old, and Homework was released. Along with it, the single Around The World. Around The World was catchy, had a good beat, and was an instant hit. It remains a classic today. I...

Intelligent Music

by flash_power , Feb 29 '00
Pros: Good for any occasion, it's really well done, trippy (if you want to), intelligent music, nice sequence of tracks, the CD tracks make single thing, unique
Cons: Not every song is danceable, takes a while until you love it, tracks are not as great by their selves
I became to know Daft Punk after listening to their Around the World (http://www.uuuu.org/daftpunk/aworld.rm) song. I thought this would probably be Daft Punks only great song. I was awfully mistaken. (Try to notice the music behind the lyrics;...

C'est Fantastique!

by outlaws97 , May 08 '03
Pros: High energy, catchy, inventive, original
Cons: Listening in your car may force you to drive too fast!
Daft Punk are one of the artists at the cutting edge of the French electronica movement of the late 90s, and this LP shows why.
They are probably the only electronic band who can get away with 6/7/8 minute songs without getting boring. Some songs...

A great disc

by g-town_ed , Dec 07 '02
Pros: Consistantly good music besides a couple tracks throughout the album.
Cons: A couple really annoying tracks.
Every time I put on this CD I still get into that excited "I wanna go out and party the night away" kinda mood. Even after 6 years this cd can still put me under it's hypnotic spell "the funk". For those of you who don't know, Daft Punk is a band that...

Daft Punk: A reason to do your Homework.

by Rasputin08 , Dec 10 '00
Pros: Great dance music, great beats, great production, every track is good
Cons: none
Daft Punk's homework is a great album. I bought it right when it came out in 1996, I believe. I don't know why I bought it, I had never heard of them and I had no idea what kind of music it was. I just saw it when I was passing the music store and...

French funk masters

by kutlu , Jan 22 '00
Pros: Great beats
Cons: Some songs are more for funk-lovers
I own Daft Punk's Homework album. I got it because i fell in love with "Around The World". I think it is one of the best recent electronic/dance songs with a solid beat. A lot of people find it too repetitive, but that is the idea with a...

The First Crossover of House Music

by maxpower79 , Nov 19 '00
Pros: Catchy tunes, style which influences many current artists
Cons: None
Daft Punk while not a super popular album should be considered among the most influential CD's of the 1990's. It was the first crossover CD from the underground electronica sound to mainstream clubs.

The musical influence of this album is...

Adrenaline

by michael_tremko , Dec 28 '99
Pros: Driving, electric, pounding beats
Cons: Endless driving, electric, pounding beats
If I was a fly on the wall in the studio where this album was mixed, I'm sure I would have heard the engineers listening to Slayer and Infected Mushroom in the background.
Each of the songs on this record really have a feel all their own. I'm not...

Daft Punk - Yes, but...

by jkottke , Oct 15 '99
Pros: *very* groovy, contains some of the best electronica around
Cons: not much depth, album doesn't hold together
Three of my favorite electronic music tracks appear on this album, along with another favorite on the B-side of the "Da Funk" single. "Da Funk", "Around the World", "Alive", and "Musique" (the...

Soooo close!

by jgoldner , Nov 07 '99
Pros: Singles are catchy and well done.
Cons: Rest of album not as good, rough transitions.
Everyone has a good story about the first time they heard Daft Punk. Or at least, they should.

For those of you who might not know--it's possible--Daft Punk are two French guys who, running contrary to 20th century logic, do not allow their...

Oh yeah!!!

by jkerouac , Jan 26 '00
Pros: good background music, not needing heavy concentration
Cons: only good with particular moods or settings
That would be my favorite title to a song in this set. It sounds like porn music to me. This CD is one I purchased not too long ago because I wanted to be the only kid on the block to own it and others would try and emulate me. I play it for my...

This one should be on your top 10 list

by option8 , Jan 28 '00
Pros: You'll like it.
Cons: It would suck to give away as a gift
If you haven't heard this one before, count yourself lucky! I saw Daft Punk do a live performance of this CD about a year before it was printed. I've been to a few raves, but this was absolutely the best set I've ever seen. The rave was Even...
