HomeworkDaft Punk

Rated 4/10

The beats and sounds are good but EDM is really not my thing. I can dance along with it but after a while it just gets repetitive as beats and bass lines over and over. But I hate critiquing it too bad because that is EDM, so in that world they might be amazing, but to me its just meh.

Its different but good. It feels like a mix of old and new, with some alt rock or punk influences.

I googled Dusty and found out about her personal life. Glad I did, because the songs hit a lot deeper and lyrics have more deep and double meaning then I knew.

It was fine, if it came on the radio I would keep it on and sing along. But nothing revolutionary or different. Maybe they one of the first but felt very much like other music of that time.

I was really excited about the concept of this album and appreciated the idea. At first I found I struggled because I had in my mind what I thought the pictures should look like so I went back and tried to visualize them in my mind. It was better, but still some just didn't make sense in my mind. Overall I appreciated the idea behind the album (and would love to see the pictures they created in their minds) but overall not a winner for me.

At times seems like music they would play at cult activities and rituals. Started somewhat mellow but also trying to pull you in with all the terrible stuff out there. Safesurfer felt like something they would play or chant as some creepy ritual was occurring. Then the end was like you were brainwashed and stuck in a weird dissonance. Guitar and actual instrument parts were good but overall it made my insides feel icky and kind of sad.

Complex and deep. Rap is not my preferred musical genre somewhat because most of it feels so one note and the same thing over and over. But not this, at times yes but it was still deeper, had substance, and made you want to listen to the lyrics and words not just dance along and shake your booty.

Listening to this one was like a night on the town! We are jazzed up and ready to go wild and by the end of the night slurring your words and rambling about not living in Chicago.

Waiver between a 2 and 3. Way now emotional then I realized the Beach Boys were. Vocals not great though. Funny this generation complains of later musicians just screaming into the mic

I am sure this one has a point and was really revolutionary at the time, but it hurt my ears :( I want to appreciate it for its purpose and I am all about protesting and getting your message out there through art but I would just never listen to this again.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but meh. I mean overall it is easy good listening but with all the music now it is just fine. At the time maybe it was revolutionary and different but now it is just fine.

It was interesting. Sometimes I was bopping along and good without lyrics (I Got a Woman) and other times I really wanted lyrics. Listening to Rinky Dink felt a little unsatisfying without Mickey and Sylvia. All in all it was a good listen and fun to recognize a talented group that probably does not receive enough praise.

meh...others do it better. The vocals are not great, the lyrics are too straightforward, the guitar and drums are good but nothing unique about it. Their sound just feels like a lot of other 80's and 90's bands and nothing stands out enough for me to want to add this to my mix.
