Homework

[Bradandez]

So I looked through all of the Releases pages and didn't
find a thread on the Homework album. So just tell
me about your favorite songs and what you like
about it.

I remember seeing a Homework thread sometime last year but I can't seem to find it either. I can't stand the crummy search engine we have so I'll let someone else look for it.

Personally, I think Homework is a bit overrated. Definitely NOT better than Discovery. Not as much substance, and very unpolished. Some tracks are absolutely HORRIBLE and practically not worth listening to (Oh Yeah, Rollin' and Scratchin', Burnin' (except for that bassline), Rock N' Roll), and others are FANTASTIC (Around the World, Fresh, Da Funk, Daftendirekt/WDPK 83.7, Revolution 909) and then the remaining few fall into middle ground (Teachers, Phoenix, Alive). And Funk Ad is a waste of space.

It's weird how Homework goes from the first seven tracks being really good, to the rest of the album being really mediocre/bad in comparison. This album has some of the BEST house tracks ever, and then some **** that isn't even listenable to.

Also, the lack of Musique on Homework severely disappoints me, as that song is great. Couldn't they have put that on there instead of say, Rock N' Roll, Oh Yeah, or Rollin' and Scratchin'? I know Da Funk sold better than Homework which is why they didn't include, but it's a shame it wasn't released on Homework really, as B-Sides fade into obscurity very fast.

Personally, my favorite track is Da Funk/Daftendirekt/WDPK 83.7, then Fresh, then Around the World. I really like all three songs though.

Da Funk. Just crazy and epic for me. (I'm not saying I don't like the others)

[The Notorious G.I.B.]

I say that all songs are good, but is very raw sounding and DP even said that it was something that they pretty much made in their room. It was to show that anyone could make something like that. (ps i think around the world's the best)

Burnin' is my favourite!

OK, maybe I was a bit harsh on Burnin'. I love the bassline on Burnin', but all the other crap in the song, namely that little sound in the beginning, the lower DJ scratching, and the fire alarms, really just get on my nerves.

Rollin' and Scratchin', no. As far as I'm concerned, that song is just plain noise. I can't stand it personally.

However, I absolutely LOVED Burnin' the song when it was mixed in Alive 2007, with the Voyager guitar twang and everything but the DJ scratching and that one good sound effect that sort of builds up and mixes with the key of the Voyager guitar twang are hardly audible. That mix was so fantastic, I can't get enough of it.

The original song though just has too much crap in it to be a truly good song.
