Full review

I felt a bit weird when my brother bought this album and didn't really think it was a good buy. This is one of my favourite CDs of the year, and all together! If you like Dance tracks and easy listening music this is the one for you.

The best track on this album I think is Digital Love which didn't do very well in the charts! On this CD there are a lot of instrumental tracks which are really good with a great beat in the background. Sadly I haven't heard any of the tracks from the first album, homework but I will be buying it soon.

The track go as this:

1 : One more time

Probably heard by most of you this is a great track. The first they released and the reason I started getting into Daft Punk. A great track to dance to or just listen to as you do over things. This track is loved by any dance fan and the vocals sound great changing from high to low with an amazing computer digaly graphed sound. This is all you need for a party or a night out!

2 : Aerodynamic

Not known by most people but once you've heard it you'll not turn back. With it's dancy beat and fast rhythm this is a great track. There aren't any words but that makes no different. With the guitar coming in about a minute after the starting the track really brightens up. The strange clock noises that brake up the song do suprise you but they're very effective! Over all this is another easy listening song.

3 : Digital Love

It has to say this is my favourite song on the album. It has an Amazing rhythm, great vocals, great lyrics and a beat that will lift you off you're feet! The guitar sounds great and it really makes the song great. The dynamics are amazing spliting the track up great. Overall if this track doesn't please you then nothing will!!

4 : Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

This is another of my favourite on the album. The starting is really cool and is very dancy along with the rest of the song. This is one song I've played over and over and still haven't got bored of it!! The lyrics all come into place making a really funky song!!

5 : Crescendolls

With it's weird name and weird starting this is one song you won't be sure of at first. Then the beat kicks in and it's amazing! This is another song you'll get on you're feet to dance to. With no lyrics like Aerodynamic this is an easy one to get down to. A bit later on in the track Daft Punk plays around with it and makes it sound really cool.

6 : Nightvision

Different to the others, the others being dancy and upbeat this is a slow and soft song. Kind of eerie and scary but this song is still good!

7 : Superheros

With the drums beat at the start you think you've turned over to the queen's birthday but once the beat kicks in you know where you are! With the background vocals repeated this track does come a bit annoying after a while. This is one track I don't like that much on the album!

8 : High Life

This song sounded very familiar to me. It's sounds like an old dance track with a great beat to back it up. This is another one you can get down to and dance till you drop!

9 : Something about us

Like nightvision this starts off very slow. It sounds like an 70's/80's track to me and you kind of wait for someone like Micheal Jackson to come in with a solo to finish it off. This is very slow and kind of sad (upseting I mean).

10 : Voyager

This like most the others is an upbeat dancy track. It still is easy listening and is good to just sit and tap a pencil to. Again it sounds familiar again and I think it's been used for a TV show or something.

11 : Veridis Quo

Again a weird name with a kind of scary organ feel to the start like you're in church. It stars of very quiet but as it goes louder it gets a lot better. This track is quite boring I think but still good.

12 : Short Circuit

With another 70's/80's feel to it this song is good. It's a lot different to the track before and puts you in a brighter mood. With the echoing sounds in the background this is another great song.

13 : Face to face

With a heavy beat in the start this is a strange song with a lot of effective gaps and great lyrics. Again with an early disco feel this is a good song!

14 : Too Long

The title is very right! With a gospel feel and sound like a few gospel singers this is a.... different song. With it's ten minute long track that could be cut into an amazing 4 minute tracks this song gets boring fast. It changes a lot throughtout if you can be bothered to listen to it all!

Altogether this is an amazing album. If you're thinking of getting it get it now! This is one of my best buys and a great CD you will listen to over and over again!
