Music reviews of Homework

Music Review: Bad for your stereo and your health
Rating: 1 Stars

I've been wasting a lot of money recently purchasing albums that I wouldn't normally listen to,but that have been rated five stars in various music review books that I own and,for the most part,while I don't think that any of my recent purchases merits five stars,I know that this one definitely doesn't.It easily qualifies as the worst trash that I've ever heard and,believe me,I listen to and enjoy a lot of different kinds of music from the 1930s to today.This is certanly not music;all it is is out and out noise.The critics actually prefer this to Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music"(which,admittedly,I haven't heard either,but it can't be much worse)?As the title of my review states,this CD is bad for your stereo(the constant,loud bass beats could very well damage your speakers and it's a wonder that my stereo didn't just spit this CD out)as well as your health(if you're brave enough to listen to it all the way through,you'll most likely end up with a massive headache;I dare anyone to listen to the whole thing with headphones on).One of the books that I have that rates this album as a "must-own" is titled,"1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die",but,seriously,I wanted to die after listening to this damn thing.I was completely sober when I listened (as I always am),and I don't know what kind of drugs you have to be on to enjoy this "music",but I just didn't get it.I tried,I really did,to listen with an open mind hoping that it would eventually get better,but it just never did.The CD that I listened to right after this was Daft Punk's second release,titled,"Discovery" and I could not believe the improvement.It was almost as if it was recorded by an entirely different group.Don't get me wrong;there's still plenty of annoying,repetitive crap to be heard on "Discovery" as well,just not a whole album's worth.One of the most significant differences was that "Discovery" contained clear,audible vocals whereas "Homework" did not.Please take my advice and stay far,far away from this release and spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

Description of Homework

French band, a highly danceable mix of disco, house and techno, who just recently supported the Chemical Brothers on their European tour dates. The band is currentlybuzzing in the U.K. music press. 16 tracks. Domestic available on Virgin as of March 25, 1997.
After rocking the suburbs with the infectious and persistent "Da Funk" (with its amusingly pointless Spike Jonze video), Gallic pranksters Daft Punk unleashed Homework, an album that combined everything good about house music with everything bad about French pop and changed the face of dance music in the process. The sound of production duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem is a raw and dirty collage of cheap drum machines (wired for maximum swing) welded to endless filtered loops and embellished with everything from guitars to talk-box vocals. The beats are lifted straight from the Chicago House textbook, but the simple bass lines and catchy hooks make a listenable pop song from what would normally be a stripped-down DJ tool. Uncompromising yet totally accessible. --Matthew Corwine
