They can be either.

For example, If I say _“Calculus is harder than algebra”_ it’s an adjective. But if I say _“Bob works harder than John”_ it’s an adverb.

_2. Harder Better Faster Stronger - Daft Punk  
– I believe these are adjectives?_

Within the song mentioned, they are adverbs. Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger. All modify the verbs.
