Daft Punk’s debut album Homework was released in 1997 to critical acclaim. Style Jukebox said it “features a selection of tracks that perfectly sum up what Daft Punk is all about–and they do so while simultaneously acting as a gateway into the group’s more experimental side.” The album was supported by singles “Around the World” and “Da Funk”. In March 2001, Daft Punk released their second album Discovery. Support for the album came from singles “One More Time”, “Aerodynamic”, and “Digital Love”. The album also contained the international hit single “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, which has been credited with helping to revive house music and has been used extensively in popular culture.
