I'm more excited to hear about touring information, I want to see them again so bad. Seeing them at coachella was a milestone in my life.

Nah. There's nothing wrong with individual songs being repetitive, but the when all the songs on the album sound like one another, then there's a problem. There's variety on Homework. There's no variety on Human After All. HAA sucks. Sorry.

Human After All is the shit.
There's less variety on HAA than Homework and especially Discovery. That has nothing to do with my ability to perceive sound and everything to do with DP rushing the album with a lot of songs that all have the same structure. Maybe that's the point; doesn't really change the fact that it's repetitive.

Are we arguing about repetitiveness in Daft Punk?
THE FUCK?!
THE FUCK?!
repetition throughout an album is very different from repetition within a song. That's all.

We're going to need to see a photo of the actual CD to start talking about a leak, I would think.
Trying to contain my hype.

Finished listening to Homework for the first time, like, ever. I never liked it as much as most Daft Punk fans, but it grew on me. The problem is that it's 33 percent great songs, 33 percent bad songs, and 33 percent mediocre songs. There's a lot of experimentation which you would expect from a freshman album. Discovery and Human After All are far more consistent with quality and sound, which is why I prefer them. A good remix or playlist can save Homework, however. I'll post my tierlist after I get off this damn phone.
Great:
Daftendirekt
Revolution 909
Da Funk
Fresh
Around the World
Alive
Good:
Phoenix
Rollin and Scratchin
High Fidelity
Burnin
Average:
Oh Yeah
Indo Silver Club
Bad:
Teachers
Rock n' Roll
Filler:
WDPK
Funk Ad
If it didn't have the 4 worst songs it would be as good as Discovery. Heck, I think I'm gonna delete them.

I know I will be insulted for this but my favourite of their work is the Tron Legacy score. Maybe it's because I love film scores so much.
I wish they decide to do more movies.

Yeah. Though Homework has some great songs, the bad far outweighs the good for me. Its successor albums really outshine it.
It truly is a great OST, i'm pretty sure people tend to dislike it because it is linked to the film. If it was released as a standalone album people would be all over it.
is that actually the artwork? why would they throw away their pattern of album covers??? i guess i just thought it was placeholder.
I only saw the image on some tumblr blog. Looks fairly legit though.
The OST is pretty fantastic, I still give it a listen every once in a while. Derezzed is amazing.
EXACTLY how I feel. They found their footing with it, and absolutely nailed some tunes.
Others are just pure crap. Discovery and HAA are way, way better start to finish than HW.
Everything can be faked, especially something made of paper.

do you mean photoshopped or that it's physically real but someone just made it themselves?

I know what you mean. I thought for sure the album cover would be that glittery logo from the very first teaser commercial.
Probably the latter. If it was real, why wasn't the back shown with the tracklist? If "he" eventually wants to be redeemed, that is.
Hmmm true. Only reason I thought it was real was because of the logo in the upper right. The Tron vinyl had the same thing except in blue.
In my experience, small things like that is a sign of fake. Small details that have been done previously, as that is what fakers go for. It would be good marketing decision to put the DP logo on the front tho, and I hope I am wrong about all this as I want the album NOW.
yeah! that's what i thought.
Insulted? It was fucking great. It and Alive 2007 are neck to neck for me.

*hug*
maybe they got bored of that motif
I remember in some thread a Homework fan said that Discovery was an EDM album for people who didn't like EDM. I laughed, because all I could think was that Homework was an EDM album for people who didn't like dancing.
wait, what? you cant dance to homework?

"Homework" is raw. It's good, but it's not as perfect as "Discovery" and "Alive" are.
"Human After All" was just farting electro sounds in comparison.
"Cross" by Justice would have been a perfect DP-record, too.
And Alive 1997 > Alive 2007

Hmm, it doesn't bug me as much as a lot of other people, but I do see the appeal with keeping up the trend. Maybe it is just a placeholder? But even if it's not, I definitely wouldn't let it dampen the excitement. I guess we'll see BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH!!
Alive needed HAA though. HAA doesn't stand super well as an album on its own, but it's great for mixes.
Hahaha, was it you?
i dont think so. maybe.

I second that notion. It's crazy how overlooked Alive 1997 is.
Not that Alive 2007 is bad, in fact it's great, but 1997 is just beastly.
Well relax. Homework is...danceable enough I guess. Just depends on the dance floor. On any dance floor I attend something like this would be kryptonite, but I'm sure someone out there would love to move to it.
when that album came out, it pretty much was played in every house club in the world. so you couldnt be more wrong with your thoughts on the album.
Like I said, depends on the dance floor.
