Daft Punk's Homework is a brilliant album and at the time of its release it was one of a kind, the album has a massive 16 tracks with the majority of them being 5 minutes plus.
The French duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo exercise a great use of classic house beats throughout the album, and combined with the way in which some of the tracks are structured they almost tease the listener before reaching a fantastic climax giving you a great feeling.
This applies in particular to the tracks Rollin' & Scratchin' and Rock' n Roll, (these two are personally my favourite tracks on the album), they start of almost innocently with a nice groove, but once they get going and reach their climax they are really mean sounding tunes. This a good example of Daft Punks amazing control of sound which only gets better by each of their albums.
Other tracks to listen out for on the album are Da Funk which was a massive single well known for its unique video, and High Fidelity which has a true french house sound to it.
Overall i would highly recomend this album to any dance fan and even though it is nearly 10 years since its release it still sounds better then some of the music out now!

Advantages: Great tunes, humour (though not novelty) and a wonderful 80's vibe Disadvantages: Final track 'Too Long' is as it says on the tin. Compared to first album, maybe they've sold-out a little bit.
