Homework (studio album) by Daft Punk

It's fallen a little bit for me since the last time I listened to it, but it's fun. The exact kind of music that you turn your brain off to, which sounds like a backhanded compliment, but it's true. You just let this course through you and have fun with the grooves.

Although not as strong as what might follow there is no harm in a band growing into itself and not burning out on their first album never to repeat the quality or standard again. This is a very good album - perhaps a little too long, but has some great tunes including Teachers - that is just amazing

Love how raw, chaotic and in your face this album is! Truly their best work and they never topped it. It's their most iconic sound. Phenomenal debut.

Daft Punk’s debut may be a little repetitive and derivative at times, but it’s still really creative and a lot of fun.

I haven't felt more frustrated waiting for an album to be over in my entire life. Up until "Around the World" I was enjoying it a little bit, but even then, I thought it was somewhat repetitive, but not in a good way. After that, I was pretty much done, and I don't think the album was half over by then. Don't get me wrong, I really like Daft Punk, but I just feel like this is just a collection of songs rather than an 'album' if that makes any sense. It's over an hour long, when it should've been around 50 minutes. "Da Funk" is great, "Around the World" is great, and maybe 'Alive' is alright, but by then, I was genuenly too tired to care. Discovery and Random Access Memories are much, much better albums.

It's a fine debut, but I pretty much agree with the consensus here: It sounds funky but is a bit monotonous, nonetheless they go onto much greater things.

Classic french house.

There aren't too many standout tracks but that's really the only problem I can find with this album. It consistently sounds great and it has a very solid direction and the overall sound is very interesting, influential, and ahead of it's time.
