There are great beats all over Homework, but these simple beats often carry too much of the track length, feeling like static fragments of something greater. They’re also dang long fragments, and if a minute or so was cut off practically every song, this album would be better off for it.

It’s good gaming music, though. I’ll have to give it a relisten while I play SSX Tricky, i.e. the ultimate test of quality ’90s-’00s EDM. “Revolution 909” is my favorite song. “Da Funk” reminds me of Coca-Cola for some reason.
