I just realized though, 'Homework' is pretty much all original compositions, while Discovery is extremely sample heavy. I'd deduct points for that myself.

I agree, nothing against 'Discovery', I came to like it very much, and honestly it is probably the better album. It was good timing that 'Homework' came out when it did. AMP was on MTV, Chemical Brothers and Prodigy were breaking through to the mainstream, at least in the US. Given the fact that the funky electronic groups of the time were primarily European, I'm guessing America was late to jumping on that bandwagon.

Man did I love this when it came out. 'Rollin' and Scratchin' and 'Rock n Roll' can be skipped, the rest are pretty dang funky.

Very good. Besides the obvious highlights that are the well-known hits, there are some other masterpieces on here. I particularly like the "Da Funk"/"Phoenix"/"Fresh" sequence.
