Risque

Repetitive, but never dull. Well-produced, charming, and fun. But not something I'd ever really think to listen to again.

Not much here.

7/10 Favourite: Good Times Least Favourite: Can't Stand to Love You

хороший диско/фанк альбом. Мне в целом нравится эта группа, до этого слышал пару песен. Такую работу по настроению можно и переслушать. Заслуженная отметка в 5 баллов.

track 1: holding hands at the roller rink track 2: awkward fumbling attempt at touching a boob track 3: back to skating, no holding hands this time track 4: "okay, wait until we're in the parking lot and then you can touch a boob" track 5: faux pas committed, offer rescinded track 6: *awkward teenage boy sobs* track 7: school isn't going to be fun tomorrow

its cool and funky and fun as hell. The bassline in Good Times has stuck with me long after I stopped listening, even just the guitar work is fantastic. I dont understand why disco got so much hatred if this is what you got to listen to.

Hell yeah man! Makes me want to dance in a club in the 80’s and do bumps of coke in the bathroom off a bankers dick. Nile Rodger’s guitar playing is iconic and these songs are timeless. The first song says it best “These are the good times”

it fucking rocks, we all know it, we all love Nile Rodgers, we've all heard the bass line from Good Times a million times in various forms and we're not sick of it because it's probably the best bass line of all time

Vibey. Unfortunately not as vibey as Sister Sledge. Good Times was amazing to see live at Glasto. If the whole album was that danceable, it would be 5 stars.

5/10 I never realised some of these songs were so long! What were they thinking - a very low ratio of musical ideas

Turns out disco does kinda suck.

Just waiting for Big Bank Hank to start busting rhymes on “Good Times.”

besides from 'good times', every song is really repetitive. it's also what i would call VOLUME music, you need it loud or less it doesn't really hit you. still had a fun time but the repetition irked me

2, Disco is just not my thing.

No. 321/1001 Good Times 5/5 A Warm Summer Night 5/5 My Feet Keep Dancing 4/5 My Forbidden Lover 4/5 Can't Stand to Love You 3/5 Will You Cry 4/5 What About Me 4/5 Average: 4,14 Great album. Loved how they brought disco, funk and soul together. Especially the instrumentals were super well done.

Correcto

Pretty fun and infectious. The point of the album seems to get people to dance, and it certainly is effective. It's all grooves and vibes. I find disco music loses its luster quickly when you look at it a little closer, but this one is pleasant regardless of how critical you want to be. All the parts work well together for what they are. It's not meant to be taken too seriously, so just sit back and enjoy the show. Overall: 3.3/5

### In-Depth Review: *Risqué* by CHIC (1979) Released at the tail end of disco's commercial reign, *Risqué* is CHIC’s third studio album and arguably their most refined and thematically layered work. Produced by the powerhouse duo **Nile Rodgers** and **Bernard Edwards**, the album is a masterclass in groove-based sophistication, combining lush orchestration, tight musicianship, and subtly subversive lyricism. While “Good Times” dominates its legacy, *Risqué* is far more than a singles album—it’s a cohesive, emotionally nuanced statement that helped shape the future of dance, hip-hop, and pop music. --- ## 🎶 **Music & Production** Musically, *Risqué* is a tour de force of **funk-disco fusion**, with jazz-influenced chord progressions and orchestral flourishes that elevate it above standard disco fare. The rhythm section—Edwards’ iconic basslines, Rodgers’ percussive “chucking” guitar style, and Tony Thompson’s crisp drumming—forms the backbone of the album. The use of **live strings and brass**, arranged by Gene Orloff, adds a cinematic depth without overwhelming the groove. Tracks like “My Feet Keep Dancing” and “My Forbidden Lover” showcase complex arrangements and syncopated rhythms that feel both organic and meticulously crafted. The production is **clean, warm, and spacious**, allowing each element to breathe—an approach that was forward-thinking for 1979 and still feels fresh today. --- ## 🖋️ **Lyrics & Themes** Beneath the glossy surface, *Risqué* explores **themes of emotional detachment, forbidden love, betrayal, and existential anxiety**. The lyrics often juxtapose upbeat music with darker emotional undertones, creating a sense of **ironic detachment** that’s central to CHIC’s aesthetic. - **“Good Times”** is the most famous example: a seemingly celebratory anthem that subtly hints at economic despair and escapism. Lines like *“You silly fool, you can’t change your fate”* undercut the song’s optimism with a wink of cynicism. - **“My Forbidden Lover”** deals with taboo desire, using minimalistic, almost haiku-like lyrics to evoke tension and longing. - **“Will You Cry (When You Hear This Song)”** is a heartbreak ballad that closes the album with emotional vulnerability, contrasting the emotional restraint of the earlier tracks. - **“A Warm Summer Night”** is a lush, melancholic piece about unfulfilled longing, with sparse lyrics that leave space for interpretation. This lyrical subtlety is part of what makes *Risqué* so enduring—it invites repeated listens and rewards close attention. --- ## 🌐 **Influence & Legacy** The album’s influence is **monumental**: - “Good Times” provided the **bassline for “Rapper’s Delight”**, effectively birthing commercial hip-hop. - The groove also inspired **Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust”**, and has been **sampled hundreds of times** across genres. - Artists like **Daft Punk, Madonna, David Bowie**, and **The Weeknd** have cited CHIC as a major influence, particularly in their ability to blend emotional depth with danceable music. - *Risqué* helped **legitimize disco as an art form**, pushing back against the “disco sucks” narrative that was often rooted in racism and homophobia. --- ## ✅ **Pros** - **Exceptional musicianship**: Edwards, Rodgers, and Thompson are locked in throughout. - **Innovative production**: Layered, live instrumentation with orchestral elements. - **Thematic depth**: Emotional complexity beneath a danceable surface. - **Cultural impact**: Helped shape hip-hop, house, and pop music. - **Timeless appeal**: Still sounds fresh and influential over 40 years later. --- ## ❌ **Cons** - **Repetitiveness**: Some tracks rely heavily on groove and repetition, which may not appeal to listeners seeking melodic variety. - **Vocal subtlety**: The restrained vocals, while stylistically fitting, may feel emotionally distant to some. - **Pacing**: The album is short (just 7 tracks), and the sequencing can feel front-loaded due to the dominance of “Good Times.” - **Genre stigma**: Disco’s historical baggage may lead some to undervalue the album’s artistic merit. --- ## 🏁 **Final Verdict** *Risqué* is not just a disco album—it’s a **conceptual, sonic, and emotional journey** that transcends its genre. It’s a snapshot of late-’70s glamour and anxiety, wrapped in some of the most infectious and sophisticated grooves ever recorded. Whether you're into funk, disco, pop, or hip-hop, this album is **essential listening**—a masterstroke of production, songwriting, and subtext that continues to influence generations of artists.

Listening to this conjures up memories I don't actually have, a testament to disco's time-capsule nature, at least when it's a classic like this is. I can't pretend to hold any specific prejudice against disco since I didn't live thru that era - I can't calculate how vexed I would've been to hear that genre flood the airwaves. All I can say is that this particular record, besides being monstrously influential, has a special warmth that I can certainly get down w/: 'Don't be a drag, participate / Clams on the half shell and roller skates, roller skates.' Repetitive, sure, but the rhythms are often irresistible, and the percussion often inventive, especially on 'My Feet Keep Dancing.' I'm moved to throw this on at a party to see what happens. Folks'll dig, right?

A disco classic.

There's only 7 tracks that total 36 minutes... but the first 3 are over 20 of those minutes. There's no need for Good Times to be 8 minutes long... and that's the best track on the album.

Just like watching BBC coverage of any random festival

Soooo fun. Will listen again. But not over and over.

The prophets CHIC told us of the good times, and thus they were, cares abandoned, disciples staying up all night, all was good, and all were happy. But something happened, and people got arrogant, they didn't protect the good times. By all accounts the intoduction of the drum machine was the beginning of the end. The good times slowly vanished. But a prophecy tells of another, a second coming, one who will rise up and bring the good times back. Bring back back the groove and the platform shoes. But until that day, we sit, and wait, and reminisce, of the good times.

i would like to give it 4 stars, since i do dig on a lot of the tracks, but i think most of them are too repetitive and long for my taste. but still good stuff

It's CHIC. I'm hovering between a 3 and a 4, mainly because I only really was enamored by Good Times, but the rest of the album is great as well.

Enjoyable Sunday album. Preferred the less well-known songs because they haven't been tainted by SCS adverts.

As Nile Rodger’s bangers flow through my kitchen on a Sunday morning I think to myself, Ian you’re a dancer. Let’s go.

Pioneers of making people move. Crisp and fun. Plenty of dancing round the house to this one

A little boring for me, but decent upbeat disco & funk music. We’re all familiar with “Good Times”, you can expect a similar vibe throughout the rest of the album. Some of the songs are on the long side. Pretty typical 70s-80s dance music.

The word that best describes this is disappointing. I had high hopes when it started off with Good Times. That’s a five star song. But then everything else was one star, bland and redundant. It was the kind of disco that made me hate disco. Probably because the best part of this album, first track in particular, is its use in early hip hop.

Funky R&B perfection.

The grooves are absolutely fire on this album - funky bass lines backed with Chic's disco soul sound are always a winner in my eyes. Good Times is a superb start to the album, and My Feet Keep Dancing continues the feel good vibe. There are a couple of tracks that you could argue perform the role of fillers, but I still came away from this album feeling uplifted and in a great mood. What more can you ask for?

was good but repetitive

Best: Good Times Worst: Can't stand to love you Liked songs: 6/7, 86% Light 3 This is the first time I've listened to disco critically, so theres a chance most of my points apply to the whole genre but idk. Overall a fun album that dragged on a little too long and had far too much repition within songs. Not one I see myself returning to, but a fun listen all the same

i think disco is a lot cooler culturally than actually having to listen to the music

This album is silk over steel. It’s glitter, discipline, and danger — the sound of the disco era realizing it’s too good-looking to last. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards built something so precise it feels effortless; every bassline walks smoother than most people think. It’s luxurious, but haunted. You can hear the walls closing in on the dance floor — the lights are still flashing, but everyone knows the party’s ending.Glamour on the edge of collapse; the groove never dies, it just starts sweating. Rating: 4.9/5 Favorite Track: “Good Times” — ironically titled, considering it became the national anthem for denial.

!!!!TOP!!!!

I thought Risque was a pretty good album. Disco is one of those genres that can range from pretty good to pretty terrible. Thankfully, this one falls into the former camp. This album didn't have many songs on it(only 7 of them) but they did make up for that a decent bit by making a lot of them decently long. I think this album makes about as good use of it's structure as it can but i still think it would be better if there were more shorter songs on it. The music itself is enjoyable too. Its pretty groovy and relaxing. There is a bit of that 70s disco cheesiness here but i don't think that it is anything that's unbearably annoying. I thought this album was a pretty decent listen for what it was. Best Song: What About Me Worst Song: My Feet Keep Dancing

Nice chill album met goede bass

groovy as fook, was dancing my ass off to this

"Risqué" is the third studio album by American disco band Chic. Disco, soul and funk are the Wiki-listed genres. Yeah man. The album is cited as defining the disco era and being highly influential in the disco movement overall as well as in hip hop, art rock and new wave. The album songs were written and also produced by bandmembers Nile Rodgers (guitar, vocals) and Bernard Edwards (bass, vocals). Other core bandmembers included Tony Thompson (drums), Alfa Anderson (vocals) and Luci Martin (vocals). There was a host of other contributing vocalists and musicians. Commercially, the album reached #5 in the US and #29 in the UK and, critically, it had wide-spread acclaim. The album kicks off with the first single "Good Times." Piano, the guitar and funky bass riffs, underlying strings, handclaps and, of course, the disco dance beat. Co-lead singers Luci Martin and Alfa Anderson. Obviously, a great groove which really extends in this 8-minute album version. There are both bass and guitar solos. The lyrics reference the Great Era-Milton Anger song "Happy Days Are Here Again" and are used as a hidden way to comment on the then economic conditions in the US. Edwards joins Martin and Anderson on lead vocals in "My Feet Keep Dancing." Strings are added to the base Chic group. More smooth R&B in a pop song. A lyrically lighter song and tap dancing is at the end. The second single "My Forbidden Love" gets the dance back going. Stronger, louder female vocals. A passionate desire for someone where it's an impossible for a relationship to exist. This album is anchored in rock-solid production (strings, keyboards, horns, piano) with the band's core of great guitar, bass and drums...that classic Chic sound Yeah, there's the disco dance beat but there are also soulful ballads, R&B, just plain pop, rock and jazz influences and even a P-Funk influenced song. I liked the album versions of the singles; the band really jams out. Besides maybe two songs, there's a darker edge to the lyrics: forbidden love, unrequited love, losing someone and pain. This is a classic sound and a great album. It's easy to hear its influence.

Pretty funky. A decent jive.

Nice grooves.

Bit boring, couple of really cool baselines but found some songs were overly long without going anywhere.

Great record

Sorry, it just all sounds the same to me.

Solid start and great finish. Mid-section was ok. 3.5 stars

Doesn’t do it for me

The most boring repetitive album I have ever had the displeasure to listen to.

Good times was solid but the rest was not my cup of tea. Some decent funk at times but so forgettable. Did not make me want to dance

Chuck that, Nile! Good times is a perfect disco song. Bass line got Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers writing credits on Rapper's Delight. Per Wikipedia, "Queen's John Deacon reportedly used the songs bass line as inspiration for his own bass line for the band's 1980 single another one bites the dust." The ballads are fine…and on a seven song album "fine" can't afford to be making the cut.

Just about every second of this is pure liquid disco gold. I don’t need anything to reinforce Nile Rodgers’ status as a musical genius, but if anyone did... Risqué is your answer. I don’t particularly subscribe to the venues and atmospheres that this music (particularly Good Times) was and often still is played in, being that of cheap lights, low ceilings, sticky floors and cigarette smoke, but I do subscribe to the music itself. Disco is often written off, what with the repetitive bright refrains and earworm choruses, but in quite a lot of it (mainly the popular stuff, even), there’s more than there seems at work. For example, did you ever think that Good Times was over eight minutes long? I had no idea. It feels like three. And I don’t even think that’s the best song here. Biggest and most accessible, sure, that’s why it’s the first track on the A side, but it’s not like Chic were cashing in on it. The rest is every bit as good, in particular A Warm Summer Night and, surprisingly for me given its theatrical nature, Will You Cry. I can’t praise this enough. With the confines of what limits it to its label as “disco music”, it couldn’t do anything better.

good times, fantastic, the rest kinda eh, nothing too noteworthy. If I wanted Nile Rodgers I'd rather listen to Sister Sledge or smthn. 2/5

A couple hits, many duds.

Not my thing

Thought I was listening to same song. Album played twice through before i realized that it was playing again

Nile Rodgers is one of the all time greats. 3.5/5

A good, solid disco album. Pretty sure this is the first straight disco album on the list, and it was well-chosen. "Good Times" is the notable hit, but the rest of the album is quite solid as well. Nice addition to the list.

Lots of fun, makes me want to be in a disco club. Fun and funky

Could Chic have existed without Nile Rodgers? Hard to imagine. He built grooves so sharp they outlasted disco itself. The rest of the album struggles to match the spark of its opener, “Good Times,” and some of the rhythms do circle back on themselves—but that hypnotic quality explains why producers have been sampling these tracks for more than forty years.

A good groove album that has been often sampled. It's definitely a product of the times it was created in, but disco-related music is generally enjoyable to listen to in small spurts. The groove drives this album from beginning to end with the running bass lines and Nile Rodgers' signature guitar strumming. I can't hate this.

Thankfully short record. But the songs are so long and there is no real definition during them. It's ready to just say disco sucks. And it does. But this record wouldn't be good anyway. Nothing really happens in most of these tracks.

Meh

This sounds like the pure spirit of the 70s disco fever. It's fun and funky, with high pitched harmonies and funky guitar playing. It is a perfect time capsule to the era.

Funky and groovy. Nile Rodgers is recognizable from miles away, that tone is just so synonymous with him. Amazing sounding record and good vibes all around.

Pretty good and typical disco of the era with the first track being the most famous.

Easy on the ears

Can’t live up to its opening track.

Groovy

Catchy! I don't know if I'll revisit this album, but I don't regret my listen 😎

A good record, but hard for me to distinguish or remember any specific tracks other than “Good Times.”

Sounds of my early childhood. A fun record. 3/5

Stone cold classic. So much electronic and hip hop was inspired by and sampled from this ONE album.

One great Disco hit is reasonable. But a whole album? Cruel and ill-advised.

Historic disco record still haunting weddings to this day.

Good Times is a banger. I didn't know the rest but I will definitely listen again. Then again, I e always been a closet disco fan.

This is good music but it's also one of those albums where I knew exactly where it was going by the second track. It's disco. It's very well played and produced. It has an important place in US cultural history. But I wouldn't choose to listen to it.

Better Chic albums

Disco does anything but suck.

Good Times … Good Tunes 👍

You'll recognize the bass line from 'Good Times' immediately -- and it's still perfect in every way (if you're curious, that sound is probably a Music Man Stingray, a classic instrument too-often unsung outside of bass player circles). My basic impression is that the dance numbers are excellent but the slow jams go on a little long ('A Warm Summer Night' chilled in its outro jam way too long for my liking). It's all catchy, though, and Bernard Edwards is an absolute master of the electric bass guitar -- so clean, so punchy. Honestly, this is probably a 4/5 disco album but that's a bit out of my wheelhouse, so for me it's a 3/5. We'll have to let the democratic process decide whether disco is good, relative to everything else, or not.

Nile Rogers is nothing short of incredible.

Lean into the groove and let it fly you to Saturn. A masterclass of songwriting. What Joe Camel listens to when he fancies a night out.

Hip hop the hippy the hippy. Heavy vibes. Again a spot where I wish this was on a 10 scale bc this is a 7.

Le freak, ces chic!

This is some of the funkiest, tightest musicianship I've ever heard, and they stay locked in with the same groove for minutes on end so that the people can keep dancing. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards are the greats that several generations and genres studied in the decades following, and it's no wonder: this record is a production masterpiece. I can imagine this would be a perfect set for disco night and am very glad I was introduced to it. 4/5 + 1 more bonus point for inspiring the birth of both House music and commercial rap. PS. I learned that "disco sucks" was more about racism and homophobia than it was about music.

If only it was a bit more risky. Good Times is, of course, iconic, and I love My Forbidden Lover. So much that I'm doubting the 4 I just clicked on before writing this, but I think there is something lacking here when compared with other albums in CHIC's catalogue. It gets a bit dry and relies too much on "people want to dance".

I wasn’t 100% focused while this was on, but I don’t think it was as fun as I thought it was going to be. No standouts, but cool basslines

I wanted to like this but ultimately it was a little underwhelming

Disco classic

Good Times is a legendary song but tbh this is the time I learned it was 8 minutes long. It really didn't need to be! I mainly like the album for Nike Rogers' guitar playing and some awesome bass lines. He and Edwards are really masters of their instruments Not sure I can go above 4* as it wears a bit thin with the long songs

Actually so much better than what I expected from a disco album - massive range of styles. However with disco, you listen to the opening minute of a song and know what the rest is gonna sound like

Good album, not my favorite.

Some upbeat songs, some slower songs, exactly my taste

Good times has one of the best baselines ever. Besides that, while not a bad album, it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Not my style (disco esque) and some songs were repetitious and a bit boring.

Easy listening. Favorite track was definitely good times.

Like most disco, the funky guitar riffs spark a little joy for a short time. But the rest of the sound gets annoying after a few minutes.

Some good rhythms, but a lot of repetition and the slow dance disco songs were as painful to listen to as ever. If not for “Good Times,” this would be a 2.

First song's a classic. Rest of it is perfectly respectable dance music. No complaints. 3.5*

A little did you know before I get into the review. CHIC's biggest hit La Freak, was originally written with the words, "Ah Fu$k off" as the catch line. Studio 54 denied them entrance and they responded with La Freak, with the F off lines. Management had them change so it would get on the radio. Very familiar with CHIC and most of the songs off this album. I'm sure most people over the age of 30, maybe 40 have danced to Good Times at wedding. And that song has been sampled so many times, hard to keep track. Good Times, My Feet Keep Dancing and My Forbidden Lover are all great tracks, but the rest of the album is nearly as good. This is the kind of music that keeps you grooving in seat. Old school funk and sexy sounds, just music you can't help but groove and dance to as your loving your girl or whoever you love up. Very good album and makes me think back to my old high school days. I can listen to this old school stuff all day long. 4

3.5 You know, it embarrasses me to say, but despite being well familiar with both Good Times and Rapper’s Delight, it never occurred to me until this listening that The Sugarhill Gang were sampling Chic the whole time. It seems obvious in hindsight, but I’m not kidding when I say this was a major revelation had during my morning walk. Rapper’s Delight is a fantastic song, and so is its original form, Good Times - in a lot of ways, they feel like two sides of the same, groovy coin. I’ve said before that I’m not much of a disco fan, but I have no idea how someone couldn’t get down to a track like this - as cheesy as it is to say, it’s the exact kind of thing that makes you want to get up from your desk and start dancing around the room. Your coworkers might judge you, but hey, that’s the power of music. Despite running over 8 minutes long, it never once feels like it oversteps or loses steam in any way (unlike the extended version of Rapper’s Delight), and it’s missed once it’s over… especially considering the song after it, A Warm Summer Night. I said it before with C'est Chic, and I’ll say it again here - I just can’t get into the slower R&B tracks from the group. They’re not terrible, but they’re also not overly interesting and feel a bit like vibe killers given the groove surrounding them. So, this results in some highs and lows on the album for me, but ultimately nothing comes close to the high of Good Times. My Feet Keep Dancing and My Forbidden Lover are also both excellent, but they don’t quite scratch the same itch for me that the opener does. Still, generally enjoyable album. I went back and forth a few times if this really earned that extra half star, but hey, if you have me dancing around my apartment during work, you’re probably doing something right (shoutout to wfh saving me from the judgment of my peers).

Top top top : )))

Ha empezado fuerte pero ha acabado aburriendo al final, aunque se lo achaco al estilo de música.

I was so excited to get a disco album. I knew Chic’s biggest hits. I mean, who could escape Good Times and Le Freak? However, I had never listened to any of their albums. Now I know why. Good Times is the only standout track on the album for me. The rest just felt too similar or overly repetitive lyrically. It would be fine as background music as it’s non-offensive and generally danceable, but I like my disco front and center in my face daring me NOT to dance to its temptingly infectious grooves. My rating is actually 2.5.

disco boogie party fun times!

3/5 for the most iconic bass line of all time.

Chic is always a good time. Solid album. 2.5/5

Funkiness aside, I agree with other listeners that found this repetitive. Pleasant enough, but I thought it all sounded a lot like good times. That is a great song I've probably just heard is a few hundred times too many. This was a radio staple during my upbringing.

Good beats, very repetitive which got grating.

i love city pop and this has hints of that sprinkled in. but it's pretty damn good separated from that too

Not a fan of disco. Not sure if I’ve only heard remixes of these songs or just that I never actually heard the full track but they were more boring than I expected.

Wow I thought it was just a bad dream but no it’s true there was a disco phase. I didn’t realize we would have to suffer through any of it on this list but apparently I was wrong again. Really terrible lame ass “music”.

Equal to C'est Chic. Good Times has one of the most iconic bass lines of all time. The downside is the overly long songs with little changes throughout the song. It can get a little bit repetitive.

Nostalgic disco vibe

These songs are fun though perhaps a bit longwinded if you’re not on the dance floor. Still, it puts me in that weird timeless 70s dreamscape that one could wake up to discover is a simulation in a postmodern cyber-noir film. Peak disco.

I followed Chic back in the day. I was surprised by the range in the album.

Good Times is one of the most important songs of the disco/rap era. The album is mostly a snooze fest. 2.5/5

Good Times is a great song. Rest ok 3/5

Repetitious and lacking imagination.

Underwhelming

The singles are good, the ballad is dreadful, the rest is just very mediocre. There's no doubting the musical proficiency on show but the songs lack substance.

I feel like disco kind of gets unfair hate. I mean, ok, it's not something that I'd really ever listen to on purpose. But the musicianship is usually pretty great, bass and guitar in particular. For this album - I could listen to these bass lines all day. Seems like it would be a lot of fun to play. The Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards combo is always a pleasure. I mean the songs are sappy and dumb but the music is good. I like it. Chic, and disco in general, are one of those instances where, when they come up, it's always really fun to listen to and then forget about it for a while until it comes up again. 3.75/5

not something to listen to often but fun

Vibey. Glad to hear the origins of Rapper’s Delight

Well done music but disco is not something I really enjoy

Love me some disco! I knew the first track of course. I much preferred the more dance-y tracks but I enjoyed it all regardless.

Might be the pinnacle of this genre and the bridge to funk.

So chic

Very catchy and fun! Another excellent album. Perfect for a hungover Sunday.

Good energy, fun and upbeat, but that’s disco.

top of disco

Good

7/10 songs were all repetitive and 4/4 so not musically complex, not usually my cup of tea but was lowk digging it at some points 😛, singers were very talented, the base of soul music, also very iconic for the time. fav song: will you cry

Chic's "Risqué" is well produced and put together. At its heart, the powerhouse trio of Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, and Tony Thompson deliver performances of remarkable prowess. The album’s visual presentation matches its musical flair, with stylish photography adorning the cover and hinting at the elegance within. “Good Times” stands tall as a crowning achievement—not only is it celebrated and endlessly sampled, it captures the spirit of an era and continues to influence popular music even to this day. The up-tempo tracks pulse with an energy, and infectious grooves that they invite even the most reluctant listener to move. If there is a criticism to be found, it lies in the album’s lyrics, which can veer towards repetition—yet, within the context of disco, where rhythm and melody reign supreme, this feels almost intentional rather than a misstep. All told, "Risqué" is a thoroughly enjoyable listen: a testament to Chic’s artistry and to the enduring appeal of disco itself. 4⭐ Would I listen to this album again? Yes Would I buy this album? Possibly! Its out of print though! 1 "Good Times" - This is a wonderful song. Iconic and much sampled. Beautifully arranged. Superbly played. What a bass line. Excellent vocals. I defy anyone not to tap their toe at the very least. - 5 2 "A Warm Summer Night" - A slower tempo, more introspective. Lush. Almost spoken word vocals. - 4 3 "My Feet Keep Dancing" - Back to an up tempo beat. Brilliant bass line. - 4 4 "My Forbidden Lover" - Another hit from the time of release. Great song. What a groove. - 5 5 "Can't Stand to Love You" - The song kicks off with a great guitar lick. This is a little funky. That's a good thing! - 5 6 "Will You Cry (When You Hear This Song)" - 4 7 "What About Me?" - 4 Total - 31 Average - 4.43

A bit slow, but very enjoyable. They should explored some more song ideas instead of trying to expand the few they had to such lengths. It really does almost work, though. I like that it has a ton of range, yet one cohesive vibe throughout. Quality shit. 4/5

Groovy

This was probably great music for dancing, but tbh quite a boring listen while, say, decluttering your spare bedroom on a Sunday afternoon. Many of the songs just go on and on (and on).

sounds like daft punk

This album is decent. It’s not bad, but I don’t see why it’s on this list. It has some great moments, the first track especially, but I don’t think this album really has much going for it, there are probably much better disco albums that could have been on this list. However, I do understand why this album is important, I just don’t think it’s for me. 3/5

Like the other CHIC album, pretty repetitive. Not as good though. Low 4.

Fun

5/10 - it was like the other chic album but worse

Another solid album from chic. Listening to it I can definitely understand why disco might die, but since I’m not sick of the genre yet I thought it was pretty fun

I'm really fascinated by the vocal use on these tracks. Rather having lyrics that are focused on telling a story, the vocal lines are often repeated and seem to be serving the mood of the overall song. And it really works. It's like a disco symphony. Even though "Good Times" is super familiar, both on its own and through being sampled all over the place, it fits in well with the overall album. The serotonin boost from the get-go of the album is magnificent!

I love disco BUT these tracks were too long for me. Good times is still a banger

It's telling when your best know for being the riff sampled for another group's chart topping hit. Otherwise I liked the disco beat, though it got really repetitive after about 2 songs.

I don't hate disco.

One all time great disco song. The rest all blend together.

One of the most boring and repetitive albums I’ve come across in this list. Probably a great album if you’re high as a kite and having sex with bikini models at a pool party. But since that never happens to me, I’ll pass.

OK, so "Good Times" is one of the most sampled tunes ever, and it's a bit of a banger beyond that... but boy, I would not have expected two albums from Chic on the 1001, and I certainly wouldn't have included this record.

This album features some great 2 minute long songs that somehow got dragged out to 6 or 8 minutes without actually adding anything.

There are only 2 first songs on Spotify, I played them at the store, good store music

En discorökare. Men det övergår mitt förstånd att denna grupp har två plattor på denna lista. De är fan ett one hit wonder band. Skulle vara mer rimligt att Boney M hade en platta eller två.

Is it well produced? Yes. Musically it could have been produced today. But these songs go absolutely nowhere. Clearly music to do cocaine to. And the vocal arrangements are pure 1970s over the top.

Wimpy boy at the renaissance fair-core

I like disco but this album didn’t connect to me at all :(

This shit is glossy. It’s smoother than it has any right to be. It grooves in a background kind of way. Like elevator music for a very fancy elevator with velvet walls. It kind of scratches that same itch as Jamiroquai, just without the hats or energy. Spins: 2 Playlist Additions: - Good Times - A Warm Summer Night - My Forbidden Lover

I've said it before about CHIC and Sister Sledge, and I'll say it again. Objectively yes, this is a good album. A great album in fact. But for some goddamn reason, I just can't stand disco from the 70s. I have tried, I really have, and no matter what this kind of music just annoys me so much.

Super funky and tasty music. Could listen to this at any time. Nile Rodgers is unbelievably good at everything he does.

Sound of sophisticated disco, that groove is super tight

Chaque chanson part pas mal et puis tu te rends compte qu'elle dure 7 minutes et ça devient relou.

This was fun. A little repetitive. But if/when the vibe hits, these are good jams.

Chic is always a good time (ha) but i didn't like this one as much as C'est chic

Eh. I appreciate it but won't be returning.

If you leave off the three singles, which were probably most listened to via 12”/7” formats, you are left with four rather background listening tracks (in my opinion).

The singles are absolutely great, the non-singles are just there. But that's still 8 minutes of "Good Times", which is 8 more than I normally think to have, so it's got that going for it!

Soulless disco and corporate funk.

Although, seen mainly as disco, this album is nevertheless loaded with funk and soul goodness

Sick bass lines and ultra tight super compressed clean rhythm guitars bring unprecedented levels of funk energy to the cheesy AF disco beats, corny synths, and schmaltzy strings. The ballads are a huge drag, but there's no beating the uptempo tracks on this for pure dance energy. The songs are all way too long, but that's just to keep the dancefloor pumping.

Bajo brutal en "Good Times"

Disco! A bit short

Fun and light album. I don't normally enjoy dance music all that much but I do enjoy Funk and this has elements of both.

Good like their other albums. Disco funk.

Not bad sounding music, however many of the songs overstay their welcome.

these guys are always great. just so tight in every aspect

It's a bop.

“Good Times” is still a classic song. The rest of the album is good but just more of the same. 3.5/5

Amazing sound

Good but never quite reaches the highs of Good times on the rest of the album 3.5*

Not a fan of disco, but much like their other offering we had, the impact and longevity of “Good Times” cannot be denied. Sadly I am old enough to remember this at the roller rink on my quads and dressed in white denim from head to toe complete with a fuschia/violet striped shirt and 80’s comb in my back pocket for all to see. Good Times indeed.

Not quite as good as C’est Chic, but still serves its disco-y purpose. Long jams that no doubt were written for all the sweaty studio 54s and roller rinks worldwide. Death before disco. And I suppose if I were on my deathbed, and was forced to choose a disco album to go out on…I wouldn’t necessarily complain if it was this one.

Listen up, cool cats and disco divas — Risqué is the sound of the late ’70s strutting into Studio 54 with a mink coat, a gold toothpick, and a fresh perm. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, those bad mamma jammas of funk, are back at it, laying down basslines so greasy you could fry an egg on them. But hold onto your bell bottoms — this ride ain’t all roller boogie thrills. The album kicks off with “Good Times”, which is, no joke, one of the most bodacious grooves in the history of the boogieverse. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to pop open a can of Tab, hit the light-up dance floor, and point both fingers to the heavens like John Travolta’s cooler cousin. Bernard Edwards’ bass pops like champagne corks, and Nile Rodgers’ guitar is tighter than your Aunt Linda’s sequined jumpsuit after Thanksgiving dinner. Honestly, “Good Times” is worth the price of admission alone — it’s a certified hustle anthem. But here’s the thing, sugarplum — once the glitter settles, Risqué can feel a little like that moment when you’re at the club and the DJ plays three mid-tempo tracks in a row. “A Warm Summer Night” is smooth enough to get you swaying with a mysterious stranger, but it’s so laid-back it risks killing your hustle buzz. Chic’s slow jams here are silky, no doubt, but sometimes they’re less “disco inferno” and more “fondue party at 2 a.m. with people you just met.” Don’t get me wrong — “My Feet Keep Dancing” brings the strut back, complete with tap-dance breaks that’ll have you wanting to audition for The Love Boat. But there’s a sense that Chic, masters of the groove though they are, are starting to get a little too comfortable in their satin sheets. This ain’t the wild, uncut boogie fever of their earlier records — this is Chic sipping Courvoisier and looking at their Rolex, wondering if they should leave the party early. Lyrically, Risqué does what Chic does best — it’s all champagne wishes and caviar dreams, sprinkled with winks and nods to the jet-set life. But there’s not much here that makes you sweat, unless you’re already wearing a polyester shirt in August. It’s disco with its shirt halfway unbuttoned, lounging at the bar — and sometimes, you wish it would just get out on the floor and freak out. So yeah, daddy-o, Risqué is still a good time — you just might find yourself skipping a few tracks to get to the ones that truly slap the glitter off the walls. Chic’s playing? Impeccable. The grooves? Funkadelic. But the overall ride? Let’s just say it’s a solid Saturday night… not quite the fever pitch you’ll remember forever.

Rating in line with C'est Chic since it sounded much the same to me. Good Times and My Feet Keep Dancing were standouts. And props to being foundational for rap given Rappers Delight sampled Good Times. 3.75/5

Easy listening

Good Times

A very solid mix of classic disco and soul/r&b songs. 7/10

wow shockingly good to listen to in terms of dance music

great vocals and smooth production, really groovy and vibey record, I really enjoyed it.

Just a sensational listen truthfully. Not perfect, but then again, is any album truly perfect? 5/5

J’aime le CHIC… cette musique n’est pas “risqué.”

It gest tiring, I feel to listend to the whole record. But what an iconic sound defining the disco funk of the early 80's. So many time covered and sampled. "CHIC, c'est chic".

Too polished, and often too soft, the album loses impact even though the bass is solid and even though Nile Rodgers sometimes shine. But it feels like funk taking a wrong turn to me. The choruses just repeat, there are no surprise or so few. It’s basically the dance music from that era and I struggled to find excitement in it.

The number one track is a hit. Sure. But I found the rest of the album very so so. Found some nice patterns, but I found most tracks boring.

I feel so conflicted about this? Like, these are all good-to-great songs, and Nile invented music and all, but also I can't think of a single track on here I wouldn't cut at least a minute off the end of. Everything seems to end [continue disco groove ad lib.], and like, they're fantastic disco grooves, but we got to a point where I genuinely forgot Good Times was even still playing at least once. Plus Shine is a better track than My Forbidden Lover any day, don't @ me

I've mellowed in my disco opinion over the years, but this sound still isn't for me. Can't deny the quality though.

Risque is the third studio album from the Chic, the New York City band started by guitarist Nile Rogers and bassist Bernard Edwards. While their second album, C'est Chic, was more commercially successful. Risque was more influential. It is regarded as the band's best work, and one of the defining albums of the disco era. Risque leads off with "Good Times," one of the most recognizable - and most sampled - disco songs. Chic made songs with a funk basis; the bass lines are upbeat and driving. Their vocals have a choral sound, bringing and R&B and soul elements into their songs.

Good album with Good Times Mainly chill

Second album I've listened to by them on this list. First track is classic, rest were innocuous.

Solid discount album. Smooth as butter and great baselines.

aw freak out

Meh

Good times, good times. Honestly thought the Sugarhill Gang came up with that beat, didn't know it was sampled from CHIC. It will go on the 1001 playlist. Other songs like "My feet keep dancin'" are fun little ditties as well. Not the kind of music I usually listen to, but found it quite enjoyable. Boosting it up to 4 stars for being a nice surprise.

It's Disco. Disco is dead. There's a reason disco is dead. Nah, this album was alright.

funky loops. dancy

If this doesn't get you moving you may not have a soul. You can say it's repetitive, but that's just because we want to dance for more than 3 minutes. Great album and good times is legendary

Fine. Catchy, polished, but kind of mooshed into samey vibes eventually.

Eh. I mean, it’s just fine. But it’s basically your standard disco, repetitive and boring. Not bad. But not for me.

Wow. Right after Dee-Lite, huh? I was shocked to find a second CHIC album popped up, as I really did not like the last one. So I was very not excited to listen. Actually, this one was alright. Maybe my recent funk kick bled over to my appreciation? I don’t know. One thing that I did appreciate is they didn’t make me listen to someone eat potato chips.

Now you know why Nile Rogers is the goat

I was so overjoyed in hearing rapper’s delight at the beginning of this album (that I’d never heard of), that at after work drinks, I exclaimed, “guess what album was on my album generator this morning?!” I then promptly started singing the bass line. When nobody knew what I was doing, I then started singing the vocal part as well as I could, which was abysmal. The crowd of work colleagues looked at me like “shut up, drunk man!” and now that overjoyed delight I felt in the morning has been turned to shame, a shame that will return to me in the quiet moments before I fall asleep for the rest of my life. I’m sure this album has inspired many such similar situations in others.

Chic’s 𝘙𝘪𝘴𝘲𝘶é is sleek, stylish, and undeniably influential — but for someone not fully on board with disco, the long, repetitive grooves can feel more hypnotic than exciting. The musicianship is tight, and Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards clearly know how to build a hit, but after a while, the extended song lengths start to blur together. It’s easy to respect, a bit harder to love — at least if disco isn’t quite your thing.

Disco Bop, perfect for getting ready or bopping around and arranging flowers. Songs are longer than I remembered, but really good music to move and groove to. Each song is so familiar, probably because of sampling, even if I didn't know I knew it! Fave songs: can't stand to love you ~ but all of em are good to slink around to.

I love chic

NICE

Buen funk-disco clásico. Entretenido.

Cover 7 Damn some of the songs are looong. Guess that was the trend back then. At least there are only seven songs. Good album. In the right mood, yes, very chill, nice. Kick back and enjoy.

Infectious rhythms...essential dance nusic

There is a lot of repetition in this album which makes it a bit boring to listen to. Good Times is the top track on here.

Dis-go hard

Nile Rodgers is the man, and Chic totally holds up.

7.1/10

3.14

It's very rare for an album to have such great musicianship, performances, and melodies all packaged together with perfect production values. 5.0/5.0: Iconic

Great instrumentation without much variation and long songs. Seems appropriate for the genre but it left me wishing for a radio edit. Still its hard to deny how good the grooves are.

Nice.

Props to Nile Rogers and the Chic team for mastering the moody groove. It's amazing how a song like 'A Warm Summer Night' can go on so long without much development yet it never gets boring! I'd like to revisit this record.

Отличный, приятный альбом

What a fantastic album. Nile Rodger’s guitar and Bernard Edwards’ bass playing is divine - and the orchestration! It’s incredibly lush and funky. The singing too is fantastic, and given that this essentially paved the road for hip hop, this deserves 5 stars.

This is basically just disco filler music. I can get downtown Good Times, but after reaching minute 6 and hearing "These are the good times" for the 20th time, I realized I wasn't listening to real music.

Short and sweet record by the legendary band of Chic. Great songs to listen to, musicianship at the top for a memorable record. Recommended through and through

This is disco at its finest. The opener alone is an iconic classic. The rest of the album, although not on par with the first track, still delivers high-quality disco music. Forget the lyrics, most of it is just to carry the melody.

Very fun. Sounds like something bob reid would play in p.e. class!

Einhæft, taktfast diskó. Vel gert en ekki minn smekkur.

This was fun and felt like a really great start to the summer.

Alright pop, almost disco music. Not my style but wasn't miserable, it was an alright change

This is #day310 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… this was a little less enjoyable than their first album, which I got on my #day102. "Good Times" is a standout, of course. The rest is kind of fine, but C'est Chic was more memorable. This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day311.

Très chic! Every song pops. Disco is one of my favorite genres, and this album is stellar from top to bottom. I already feel the pull to return. We need another 3 Bar Saturday that includes a disco club.

This album is grooooooovyyyyy. Listened to it multiple times and loved dancing around the house to it. 🪩🕺

Fun fact: Chic has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 11 times, they are the most nominated act in history to not get inducted. Loved this, let’s bring disco back!

When it comes down to it, CHIC has to be one of the most influential American bands right? Last one ruled, this one ruled, I love to listen to Nile Rodgers.

Not a big disco gal but this was okay. I wouldn’t dance to this in a club, but it was fine to clean out my classroom to 🤷‍♀️

Awesome record. Didn’t realize their disco chops extended beyond “Good Times”. Short, sweet, and beautiful. Standout track is: “Will You Cry (When You Hear this Song)”

Of all the other albums that came out in 1979 - I get this horrid listen?!? Not even much disco but banal R&B. Hard pass.

Didn't know I knew a couple "disco" songs but this has some known hits on it. I didn't get a super disco vibe like I prejudged. Pretty jamming. Clean production. Why do disco songs need to be so long as a whole?

Disco bliss with some other songs

Good times is the obvious stand out but this is a very fun album!

Two things surprized me about about this album. It's only seven songs covering 36 minutes, and there are more down tempo melodic numbers than disco dance anthems. Having been a club DJ in the early 80s I am a big fan of Nile Rodgers as a musician and producer.

There are three things I love in this life: 1) Nile Rogers 2) disco 3) songs that are twice as long as they probably need to be

Disco ist ja nicht so meins. Pflichtbewusst durchgehört.

Good Times indeed. Masterful bass and guitar throughout.

There's Bernard Edwards and there's everyone else. Nile Rodgers and Tony Thompson are no slouches either. Top shelf funk - transcends the disco label. Good Times!

So disco really isn’t a genre I seek out, but I’m always down to listen to an album here and there when they come up on a list or through an album generator. That said, I’m always excited to hear something involving Nile Rodgers. He was on his own level, because his music is just so groovy, elegant, and classy. Yeah, he’s got tracks like “Good Times” that I’m honestly kind of burned out on, but once you get past the big hits and dig a little deeper, you’ll always find some goo quality music. Some of his more laid back tracks are actually my favorites. Also, when I listen to albums he’s involved with, I’m constantly picking up on elements I already know, because they’ve been sampled so much by dance and hip hop producers. His music definitely outlived the genre and carried over into the sounds of future generations.

The goats, I guess

This was just fine

Good music. Fun.

Time marches on, just can't wait The clock keeps turning, why hesitate? You silly fool; you can't change your fate

first, an amazing album cover. second, such a good mood booster.

it's fine for what it is: a dated disco album with a first track we've heard at every wedding we've ever attended, only faded out after three of its eight minutes. which probably tells you something about it. inoffensive for the most part, a few songs running too close to syrupy smooth for my taste, and a few others running too long. "can't stand to love you" is cool because they let nile rodgers bust a little bit, and he basically invented a style of playing the guitar, which puts him in rarified air. but alas, i want more nile rodgers busting a little bit.

I promise I’ll listen to you Chic, I promise!!!!!

This is exactly why I like The Generator. It's forcing genres down my throat like goose loading for a foie gras harvest. Disco is back on the menu, boys. First impressions, not oppressively disco-y. Sounds lovely. My goose throat relaxes. It's nearly willing. Shit is pretty catchy. Production sounds stellar. Its clear how influential this was. Shit am I about to give a disco album a 4? 4

Fun groovy jazz

🎧Disco is cool. Deal with it.

It’s like one 5 star song with a bunch of 2-3 star songs after it, so let’s say that evens out into a 3.

1979. Peak Disco music. "Good Times" being an 8min starter song can't be beat. This dropped as Disco became mainstream.

I couldn’t help but feel that a few tracks dragged on longer than they needed to. The whole thing is only 36 minutes, but it feels so much longer due to the repetitiveness of some of the songs. Favourite Songs: Good Times, My Feet Keep Dancing, My Forbidden Lover. Least Favourite Songs: Can't Stand to Love You, Will You Cry (When You Hear This Song).

Never understood the psychotic hatred that people had for disco in the 70s. Admittedly, I didn't understand anything at all as I wasn't in existence yet, but still. This genre embodies many of the things that I traditionally enjoy in music - especially in the strings department. Outside of disco I can't think of another non-orchestral genre of music where strings take such a prominent and important role. This was pretty groovy. Good Times was the highlight. The guitar on that song is funky, the bass guitar down the middle of the song is silky smooth and the piano is divine. The strings, vocal performances and songwriting is also pretty neat. A well-rounded tune that manages to make it across the finish line despite having a ludicrous track length. Nothing else on this album manages to capture the spirit or focus of that song, though there are some miscellaneous good moments. The second half of My Feet Keep Dancing sees a very good application of strings, taking on an almost percussive sound. My Forbidden lover manages to capture the spirit of the first song in a more concise package. The swinging sound of What About Me is also pretty good, even if the song does admittedly lose me somewhere around the halfway mark. Educating my ass on music once again - I'm reading the book. A strong counterargument to disco music being vapid. The bass on this album has been influential in urban music/hip-hop circles. Well, we definitely need at least one disco album on the list and I think this album is a good enough candidate. That being said, I'm mildly favourable to this music without properly liking it, which is probably the exact reason why disco drove people nuts in the first place, come to think of it. Another mystery solved.

This album honestly slaps as the kids say. Its production sounds fantastic, it’s funky as hell, and some of the extended instrumental sections in the songs are great. It’s not a straight up disco-bash like I expected. I had never listened to this front to back before this but I’m glad I did. Excellent album.

I oftentimes listen to an album, think it’s really good, and resolve to explore more music from the artist. Unfortunately I often forget to, and just move on with my listening (sorry Arcade Fire!). It’s nice to get another CHIC album so soon after I rated the first, and it was truly a delight to get this one when I opened the website and rated my previous album. I love disco. I really don’t understand why it was so hated. This album wasn’t that different than the first, and if I decided to move one up to a five (which I honestly may), I would go with C’est Chic. However this one is still super solid, and had a few absolute banger tracks. I feel like when my biggest criticism of an album is “too short”, it’s probably a good album. I hope they have a third album on the list! Favorite Track: My Feet Keep Dancing

Groovy album, one I could play at a disco party at my house. 3.5

Risqué is not as good as Chic (the album) nor C'est Chic (the album), and although 'Good Times' is a banger of an opening track, the record loses momentum in its' second half. Nile Rodgers' guitar still sounds fantastic, but even with a sub-40 runtime, its' bordering on too much of a good thing.

You couldn’t program the songs to be any tighter than what they already are. CHIC is a well-oiled machine. Risque runs the risk of starting off to strong with “Good Times” followed by the beautiful but less exciting “A Warm Summer Night”, but they still never fails to hold onto my attention. Another great Nile Rodgers record for the books.

As a friendl of the HBTQI and supporter of BLM i can truly say: Disco sucks!

Fun disco

it was alright. I like the vibe

Rodgers and Edwards are geniuses and the album is just exquisitely well done. The instrumentation is just heavenly. The guitar playing by Rodgers is perfect for the vibe, and the bass lines are so good, Edwards was a truly amazing bass player. The singing is also just right. And the strings parts are well written and bring the tracks together. In terms of favourites, the album just starts so strong: "Good Times" is an amazing dance tune, and it's immediately followed by "A Warm Summer Night", which is just a beautiful composition. “What About Me” is also great, just super vibes. This is probably some of the best disco has to offer, and it's pretty damn good. The record can be a touch repetitive at times (maybe that’s just part of how Disco goes), and doesn’t quite match strength of its opening, but it’s nevertheless a great and cohesive record.

Discooooo. The first tune is one we've all heard and is a classic. The rest is real good EW&F vibes.

Bass is the star

Thought I'd enjoy it more

bangers

Not as good as the other chic album on this list

Disco favorites. Brings back lots of memories. Look back on disco music, and think was it really music? But, fun to dance to.

Way too much repetition on the lyrics

I have mixed feelings about this record. Nile Rodgers is a beast, he has some serious chops. There are some killer bass lines throughout. It’s a good feel record. However, I did feel it was a little too samey, but that’s Disco I guess. And since when was “Good Times” more than 8 minutes long? Some of the songs are excessively and unnecessarily long, which is definitely too much for “Good Times” as it’s over played, particularly at 60 year old’s birthday parties. With all that said, the album is cool. Plenty of goodness. I can’t give it a full 4, but a 3 is way too harsh, so… 4 it is.

insane bass guitar

#98 - Total classic and stood the test of time

I would say one hit wonder.

I mean.. more upbeat but still not my vibe. My mom made me listen to this a lot growing up

Loved it. Never heard the full album before. High standard deep cut disco is always good by me. Brilliant guitar and bass, solid tunes. Will go into regular rotation.

Didn’t hate this as much as I thought I would.

Gorgeous disco album

Second album proposé par le générateur après "C'est chic". J'y retrouve le groove et les lignes de basse toujours aussi impressionnantes ('Good times' +++). Par contre la guitare est vraiment plus en retrait que dans l'album précédent: aucun chorus, que de la rythmique. J'ai quand même apprécié l'écoute (cette basse ...), mais il ne rejoindra pas ma collection non plus. Les morceaux restent très répétitifs, et sont souvent trop longs. =>3/5

Quite repetitive. Knew the first song, but others weren't anything special.

Le groove qui prend son temps, avec une basse infatigable et des voix à la fois chaleureuses et quasi célestes. Un rêve.

The main problem with this album is how repetitive it is, specially the first part. The first three songs past the 6 minute mark, the first one reaching the 8 minutes, and in the entirety of these tracks, they don't realy offer different ideas, they stick with the same riffs and vocal melodies, so, when I had reached the half of theses songs, I already felt tired of them. The good part is that, the last songs, are a around the 4 minutes, so this problem isn't that present. In the end, it felt boring. If this album was supposed to make me want to dance, it failed for me.

Nice groove some overly long songs but still enjoyed

I think everyone has sampled something from this album i do not like disco

Couldn't finish any. Just don't like disco.

Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive.

More of the same as the last Chic album, but for some reason didn’t grab me as much, maybe not quite as catchy and funky. Not bad at all.
