Not bad, but not good
Not my style
Only 3 songs available on Spotify (though Wikipedia suggests that is the full original album). Starts bright, but repetition soon sets in. As a single, it’s fun and upbeat. But by the end of 3 songs I was starting to want it to funk off.
El de Magot me gustó más, este lo he oído de fondo. No he sabido apreciarlo, pero como digo a menudo si el disco no consigue atraerme cuando suena es complicado que me guste.
I wanted to enjoy this, but I don't think it flowed
Ok whats their obsession with fart noises and shit? The other album of theirs was bad enough, but now this? 2 ⭐️
Weeral man, fuck alle gitaren gro ik ben da zo kots beu. Das zo triest hoe een banger album verpest wordt omdat iemand zijn gitaar veel te hard moest zetten en zichzelf te veel die guy vind.
Too long and lacks structure.
Cool, funk music is always good in my book, but what makes this stand out? I want you to tell me, since Funkadelic didn't.
repetitive
Giver karakter som det sidste album. Hørte meget lidt. Gjorde intet. Mindede om Maggot Brain.
Fuera de mi zona de confort
Not available on any music service so what the fuck am I supposed to do with this reco???
My second Funkadelic album in the challenge. I may need to revisit some of my first reviewed albums when all is said and done.
it's not even an album?
Det funkas på, och det är ju trevligt. Samtidigt är det väldigt lite som sticker ut och verkligen rycker tag i en. Funken ska ju göra mer med en, än bara finnas till i bakgrunden. Då räcker det inte ens till en trea.
Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! Efter att hört den låten så är mitt svar att Funkadelic kan det inte. De ska hålla sig till funk. Hårdrocksolon passar inte här. Funkadelic går på tomgång här. Efter titelspåret är det inte mycket funk kvar i bandet. En reggae-pastish, en skitsnackslåt (bokstavligen) och alldeles för många gitarrsolon är vad vi på till oss.
I don't like funk. This seems pointless. 2 stars
this was ok but maggot brain was better
Lets get Funky! Lange Tracks, schon groovig aber mich hat das Album nicht begeistert. 2/5
i really wanted to like this but it didn't catch my attention outside of a few sections (the few sections mostly being guitar solos). some fun ideas here and there but nothing that stuck with me. also it being mysteriously not on streaming made it kind of annoying to look for but that's no fault of the music fave track: one nation under a groove
Couldn't find an album with this title, so I listened to Funkadelic for an album's length of time. They sure are funky.
2/5 - not really my thing in many songs, the vocals put me off (eg. in the title song, and especially 'into you'). the beats were always interesting and funky though i enjoyed it more as i got to the third song - 'WHO SAYS A PUNK BAND CAN'T PLAY ROCK?!' - which was my favourite from the album. also enjoyed the final song 'cholly'... apart from those two, the other four didn't really resonate with me I also listened to the 3 bonus EPs but by the time I got to those I wasn't paying too much attention so I will not include in my review
Short album never would have found it without this website but cool.
2.5 - Not bad but it seems as if the full album isn't listed on spotify to can't fairly judge it
Viber ikke helt til dette. Spørs om funk er min greie. Top 3: Maggot Brain, One Nation Under A Groove, Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?
It’s average, with a classic banger of a song on it.
Fried ice cream is not a reality for me. Maybe I just don't like funk, but the songs just seemed to keep going endlessly, the instrumental play was nice at parts but also very repetitive in the other parts.
Dude, I've loved the P-Funk I've heard, but most of these songs dragged on for too long, and I liked how they all started.
Biš monotons. Grūti aprakstīt.
Prefer their album Maggot Brain
Not enough funk!
One of those albums where I start to ask « how much longer is left? » and then check and we’re still on track 3. safe to say, not a good day for me to be back in the 70s
Not so bad but very far from my taste. Two points. Not so far from one.
ok
Was not able to listen
Pas mon style du tout, je n'ai pas accroché à l'album, il va me falloir beaucoup de temps pour l'apprécier Je trouve les chansons trop longues, l'album est très répétitif Par contre, il faut écouter Maggot brain
Title track aside there is a not a lot to enthuse about here. Just seems to be a lot of people enjoying themselves a little too much.
Weird one to recommend, maybe it had a significant story around it? Will need to read the wiki
The grooves are there for sure, but the majority of these aren't really songs per se - most of it seems like a jam session committed to tape. 2/5
Couldn’t listen on Spotify only showed three songs…
it was not for me
Did my best to cobble the album together since the actual one is hard to find
most songs unavailable. not my type.
Not for me
Nearly every song is over 5 mins long, some even 10+! These songs feel like if you don’t pay enough attention to the track you will think it’s moved onto another song but it’s just the interlude to the second part of the song that sounds widely different to the first. They also have a song called backwashpsychosis Enema Squad, so there’s that. A creative band to which I can say I have never heard anyone sound like them before, or since.
Yeah…nah…not for me
Men se zdi da mam ze par dni zapored en in isti album, ta neka funky muzka iz 70ih in mi ni ful vsec ... sej je kul za enkrat sam ni neki kar bi ful poslusala
It was.... fine? Maybe not funky or groovy enough for me. More background music. Though I enjoyed learning where doo-doo chasers came from, I've only heard Ween's version and didn't know it was a cover until now.
censored in Spain
Funk off
Was banned on Spotify so I listened to a different album partially before I got bored
Funky, but seemed copycat.
The previous Funkadelic album was a disaster and this isn’t much better. I’ve always liked the title track, but it’s still too long - every Funkadelic song is too long. I had a bit of a giggle at the title of track 4. And now I’m out of positive things to say. I am aware that George Clinton is seen as a master and pioneer of funk, but I prefer the work that he would do with Parliament than this.
I have this issue with funk songs, and Funkadelic songs in particular: Minutes 0-3: "This is great!" Minutes 4-5: "Yeah, this has been going on a bit too long now, I'm ready for the next song" Minutes 6+: "Is this ever going to end?!" That being said, the first 3 minutes of the opening track was the perfect song to walk to work with. I was pretty much strutting. The lyrics are hysterical as well, so that was fun. Overall however, I have not pledged "a groovallegiance to the funk". 2/5
Musically it's Oak, but I can't abide all the shitty talking over it.
Je crois que j'ai pas encore compris la funk, je l'ai vécu comme un album disco pas assez flashy pour avoir envie de bouger. Faut que je réécoute mais pour le moment pas convaincu.
This was funk music for over an hour. That’s too much funk for me…
Best Track - "One Nation Under A Groove"
lo tuve que buscar en youtube porque spotify no lo tiene
Not for me.
Not a fan of funk music. I can understand the importance of the record, but I coundln't wait for it to be over.
This is not the best P-Funk has put out. Even the album art seems slightly lazy. George Clinton may have reached the point of diminishing on using drugs for musical inspiration for this one. Just a side note, "Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus" season 2 covers P-Funk and the main acts associated with it and is well worth a watch.
wava ra
I bet this was incredible live. Didn't float my boat while walking the dog though
Didn’t really listen, a bit long and forgettable
Unfortunately Spotify only has 3 tracks from this album so there's not much for me to work with. Definitely funky.
That album was nowhere to be found, so I search one year earlier and I did like the sounds, but it wasn’t the same, I did found a small song
I could only listen to 3 of the songs, other ones were hidden Not my style but I liked the energy
This was fuuun.
I haven't intentionally listened to a lot of funk, but it's a genre that I enjoy when it comes round. And I really loved the first three songs on this album. But then I hit P.E. Squad, and I have to admit that it wasn't for me - too chaotic and disjointed. The rest of the album was good but was a tad jam-band-y for my taste. - Heard before? No. - Will I listen again? I'll probably add the first three songs to a playlist, but I won't listen to it in entirety again. - Does it inspire me to listen to more of this artist? Maybe not Funkadelic/Parliament/George Clinton specifically, but I wouldn't mind exploring the funk genre more.
A collection of funk/dance jams. There are some great Bootsy basslines and funky Bernie Worrell synth grooves. If you dig 70's funk music that sounds like a party goin on, P-funk is your jam. Good stuff, but nothing earth-shattering or ground-breaking. 2.5/5
Not really sure what it’s trying to say.
Underwhelmed
Only being able to listen to part of it. I didn't find it very convincing.
I like me some funk, but this sounds dated
meh.
Mientras estudiaba lo he escuchado y lo he disfrutado, pero no mi favorito. Canciones excesivamente largas tho.
Most songs sound same to me, otherwise just okay.
Ikke for meg, og blir litt lei av funk/disco på denne lista. Hade noen heseblesende fete gitarsoloer da.
Ganske ok, liker noen partier godt. Fan av den rockete funk stilen, men litt mye mas over instrumentene på noen av låtene
Not my style, the songs are sooo long without buildups and for an album with groove in the title some songs are not up to it. It still has bangers so 2.5/5
5/10 It is definitely a summer album. I wouldn't find this apbum on my own so it's something new for me. It was wery mesy and chaotich but not in the way I enjoy music. But I really liked some of the instruments. If I had listened it in the summer and not christmas i would rate it higher.
zaczęło się dosyć słabo wg mnie, ale to akurat kwestia mojegu gustu w zupełności - tylko mnie to utwierdziło, że funk to zupełnie nie mój gatunek ale im dalej, tym więcej było gitary, mniej wokalisty(wokalistów? idk) i coraz lepiej, a ostanie trzy utwory to już naprawdę mi się podobały
This funk album pumps out elastic bass lines, chattering guitars, bright keys, and loose, joy-drunk grooves, with vocals that bounce between playful chants and sly swagger, all of it swirling together like a wild block party that occasionally tips from liberation into unruly excess.
Funky, yes. But ultimately just a bit too boring
The first track was good, but the rest weren't available on spotify. I left it at that.
Nah. Vamps are so overrepetetive, that it gives brain no simulation. Some good guitar playing though, but all the parts except guitar solos are boring. +1 point for Maggot Brain, though I love original version more. The inclusion of it is so contrasting, that it made me wonder, "whatever happened to band that once did Maggot Brain album?"
Старий крінжовий рок, перша пісня (у якої 43 мільйони прослуховувань) - найкраща
I typically can't resist a groovie, funkie record but this one is really not all that special to be honest. Sure it grooves, it's kinda fun sometimes, like the title track, but overall : yeah ok.
To YouTube I go, as the AI drone funding supervillain platform I use doesn’t contain this full record. Mercifully for all, this means there will be fewer words and maybe an abandonment of the extremely popular (see: cumbersome) track-by-track review format. So as I go to another platform, also owned by a dead-eyed sociopath, I look forward to enjoying 70’s funk, a genre I don’t really care for whilst being interrupted by ads for AI, a technology that could be be used to create a utopia where menial tasks are fulfilled by computers and there is a basic standard of living for all, but instead it’s used to further consolidate wealth in a society that no longer has need for Darwinian squabbling, but perpetuates it for, you know, fun! Anyway. Time to get freaky! Small update. After a fun first track, it appears that we have settled into an album that is now devoid of ideas. Splendid. Well, as much as I hated track 2, this thing picked up from there with the heavily guitar-centric “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock!?” The “shit-centric” and unpronounceable “Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers)” is as juvenile as it is psychedelic. I don’t go for scatalogical humour, but(t) if you take out that part, this is a pretty cool track. As one adlib astutely asked “which one is George Clinton?” Truly one of the great ponderings of our time. Too bad it came in the package of a horribly unfunny song centered around poop jokes. Yes, this album was better than I thought it would be. Yes, this album clearly has incredible musicianship and a distinct point of view. Yes, this probably influenced thousands upon thousands of bands and had some ingenious moments. No, I will not be listening to it again. A decent record that has more to offer to a bigger fan of the genre than I. A true progenitor of its kind. Just not a kind I care for all that much. Wasted on me. 2.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Honestly? Probably the poop song.
What the funking funk?
Interesting. Somewhat. Couple good songs, nothing I’d revisit. Maggot brain has some great guitar!
Not my groove. ★★
I loved the single ONUAG, but the album, not very much, I actually prefer George Clinton’s work with “Parliament”
It’s fine, too bad it’s so hard to locate right now.
Ok, but not mine
A little too jammy for me, but really well executed.
Liked this at points, found it tiring for most of it. Sometimes it felt like true improv funk where people knew what they were doing but didn't know how to develop it into something else. Other times it felt borderline schizophrenic. I only added two songs from the album, which is rare for funk, so it's 4.5 / 10 Best tune/s: Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock
es geht so ...
Periaatteessa ihan groove-meininki, mutta jotenkin ei silti jaksanut kuunnella yhtään.
I think this is a cool album and wouldn't be out of play in the charts today. But it's a bit long repetitive and maybe lose a bit of concentration listening to it but a good album to have on in the background so does the job well. We need more funk and rock fusions.
Not my cup of tea
Only three out of ten songs were available in my country, one of which was a remix of another one. Luckily, all funk sounds the same, so I don't think I missed anything.
really really.... werid album. Was not bad just not really that great
Considering the band name this did not have enough funk for me
Heard to find this one
Hmph, first album I can't play on Spotify. Maybe it was the lack of flow from Youtubing every song but never got into this one.
Argh, mach das es aufhört. So viele Klänge und durcheinander Gebrabbel man denkt man hört sich Free Jazz an, aber Nein es soll Funk sein.
Can't deny that they do exactly what they say on the tin, but I just can't help thinking Funkadelic are nowhere near as interesting or as melodically canny as Sly And The Family Stone. It's all just very vamp-y and samey rather than a collection of well-structured songs. I prefer the sound of this to Maggot Brain, but it still doesn't move me, in fact I found myself zoning out a couple of times...
~note this album was not available on Spotify, this review is written for their album Funkadelic~ It was interesting but not entertaining enough.
I get why some people like this. 2.5
They were super high.
I have heard Maggot brain before and I really like that song. But other than that, this album was not that good.
Title track catchy ma troppo monotona e lunga. Manca tutto il lato B dell'album su Spotify... Gran bel chitarrista, ma il resto sembra fatto per essere ascoltato da fumati. Da sobri ci si accorge delle lungaggini.
Well, the group had a good time making this at least, that's abundantly clear.
I don't think I am a fan of funk :(
Funk is not my cup of tea
Couldn't find this on spotify but listened on youtube. Not bad, but not great. Every funkin' song did nothing but funkin' look for funk to insert funk. Just meh
Not for me
Good guitarist but the funk puns are beyond tiring
Meh. Repeating a lot. If I was on drugs, I'd get it.
o.k. but not exactly my jam.
Litt for mye Møllers tran.
not my cup of tea.
"Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for..." Listened to B4? No Tracks Already Saved on Spotify: None Standout Tracks: One Nation Under a Groove Title track is a banger. The other 5 tracks are mid to oof. Big let down. (56/100)
Need to listen
I understand why this is good, but it's also just not for me. I don't like the psychedelic-rock-infused funk as much as the pure funk. George Clinton and Bootsy are obviously legends, this just isn't grabbing me. 2/5.
Well chill
Alle nummers geven mij dezelfde ervaring: eerste 2 minuten zijn erg nice en groovy, daarna kabbelt het te lang door. Ook helemaal geen fan van die pentatonische gitaarsolo's die nergens heengaan en weinig aan de nummers toevoegen. Eerlijk gezegd verbaasd dat dit album in de lijst staat
Certainly very funky but I found it quite repetitive and difficult to listen to.
Not available on spotify. Suffered through youtube
Very good but not for me
Groovy
Decent. Worst Song: Groovallegiance, lunchmeataphobia Best Song: One Nation Under A Groove Added to Liked Songs: One Nation Under A Groove
Can appreciate the Afro-futurism and grooves all over this joint. Had it on in the background and didn’t quite grab me as intended.
Not my thing. Extended instrumental cuts. Some a little catchy but I seem to want a 2min pop cut instead of the 8min funk version.
It was ok... I'm not that into funk, I think
I know racism is bad and all, but this type of Afrocentric Blaxploitation 'Resist!' aesthetic just comes across as incredibly corny to me. The politics are mostly alright and the music isn't that bad either, but the whole package just irks me. Key tracks: One Nation Under a Groove
Confusing to listen to
Not greatest.
not as groovy as the name would have you believe
I don’t think I was in the mood for hearing 12 people playing different songs. I am a fan of funk and you can’t get more funk than funkadelic.
Enjoyed it more than most funk, but WHY do these songs need to be so long and repetitive?
Parliament/Funkadelic/George Clinton are highly creative and influential. They have some terrific songs that have propagated into hip hop. And this album is hot garbage. There are a few good moments, but they are too few and too scattered to save this mess. Every song goes on far too long. It's a cycle of being interested, bored, annoyed and then furious as the seventh minute rolls into the eighth and they keep doing all the same things from the first minute. A horrible experience from a great band.
One of my favorite albums.
Rating: 2 Notable songs: n/a Not for me at all. Songs too long and blend into a long boring time.
Too funky for my brain.
Most of the songs here are too minimalist and way too drown out. If you're into this sort of relaxing music, than you're probably going like this, especially considering that there's some great guitar work here. For me through, this was quite underwhelming and at times boring. 5/10
Lo siento, el Funk no encuentra mucho en mi.
Not available to play.
Spotify only has three album tracks for me, but that's plenty. The pile of mediocre 70s albums on this list is ever-increasing. 2/5
Odd but funky
Nice funk album bit bloated but okay
I can see the talent and influence but it was just too jarring for me to enjoy.
A bit drawn out but really funky
To paraphrase Columbia in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, "it's ok." Funk is not my favorite music genre and this certainly isn't my favorite funk album. Some of the songs go on a little too long. It's fun at times. It's boring at times. It's ok.
Not a lot to it, three songs, 17 mins - not super memorable. I liked the first song, but wouldn’t listen again
Unavailable 😔
kaotički gusto, a u isto vrijeme šuplje. podnošljiva pozadinska glazba koja je na trenutke nepodnošljiva
Meh
Spotify didn't allow this to play on the web.
Not overtly funky
I really liked Maggotbrain, so i was pumped for this, but I was really not a fan of this.
I don't really get funk. This looks like a tongue in cheek group though, so kudos for that.
Too much talking in songs. Didn’t mind overall
any joy i had listening to this album was taken away by the extremely long interlude talking about shit. i didn't become a doctor for a reason!!!!!
Hip-shakin' energy! "Maggot Brain" - good guitar work.
Liked the first song. Is this album important? Would like to know. Didn't do much for me. But it gets 2 for being groovy and bringing me in a groovy mood.
Good individual tracks but Funk'd out by the end.
Spotify wouldn't let me listen to the entire album without paying, but the two tracks that I was allowed to listen, (including the title track), sound so dated now.
Not for me
They have better songs on other albums. Rather Standard disco.
2,5
The album was way too chaotic. It was really hard to gather any meaning from the songs. The music was really good, though. Maybe, if I saw this performed live, I would have a better appreciation for this material.
Mit Funk macht man eigentlich nie etwas verkehrt. Aber Lieder sind zu lang und nachdem man die Lieder gehört hat erinnert man sich an keins mehr
2 sterne
Ok so the original was removed so I’m listening to the “re-groove. It’s really just some groovy shit.
Not for me
I wanted to like this one. The title track is decent. I own a few other George Clinton albums, and they are all way better than this one. I'll give it a few more listens later; perhaps it will grow on me. Disappointing 2 Stars.
Liked the title track. Sick guitar but Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad sent me into a psychosis
Funky, but not in a super standout way. I enjoyed listening to a few songs, but don’t feel compelled to listen again.
Maybe I’m ignorant to the importance of the use of repetition in funk music, but eventually it gets to be too much for me. Solid grooves, but I’m sure this would be a much better experience in person. Probably wouldn’t be coming back to this one even if it were available on Spotify.
For an album as funky as this is, I thought it would be more fun. I never really found myself enjoying it. I probably wasn't in the best setting for it, but I expected more. Especially after listening to a few other funk albums on this list. I was going to make most of my review using a bunch of innuendos and curse words replaced with the word "funk", but this album already beat me to it.
Didn't really listen to much. The album is unavailable on Spotify as of January 2025.
The album should have been the first song. It’s such a banger that it makes the rest of the songs incomparable. 4/10
It was fine but I wasn't able to listen to the whole thing b/c of limited availability.
Just did nothing for me and ended up a one and done.
The funk is not in me.
Very up and down album, wrote like d the funkiness but goes a bit novelty song here and there.
ok
Not for me...
Ok. They have better.
2+ Stars (6/15)
It’s okay - it quickly gets tedious and repetitive though. Definitely not as strong as Maggot Brain
These meandering pieces by Funkadelic are not really my kind of Funk. Funk needs to be raw and edgy. This is "Prog Funk"... (the clue is already in the costumes) Fun(k) Fact: I was at a George Clinton concert in the late 90's. Small-ish open-air space. PA sytsem was so horrible oversized that it hurt the ears even at the back end of the enclosure. Brutal. :-) P.S.: on Spotify, only two songs of the album are available. (why does Spotify do this?) So to listen to the full album, I had to use YouTube.
Halva albumet tycks saknas? Det var iaf en sisådär första runda. Lite tjatigt, särskilt andra låten.
Spaced out a lot during this one, but it's still listenable. I kinda enjoyed the guitars. Maybe funk isn't for me, doe
Funky but too many tracks too long. Overfunked in places.
Always struggled with funk rock... Bit boring after a while, maybe I just lack the funk.
Pretty funky but long meandering songs. I preferred Mothership Connection.
Album not available. Other music aight.
how can you not love the 1st track, a pure classic - it's been sampled so much and there are so many sound bytes from it like 'feet don't fail me now' but for me the tracks all mix together as the album progresses and they end up all sounding the same.
Sounded all the same.
I just can't really do funk albums. The tracks just drag on foreeeeeeeeeeeever. They don't really feel like they're going anywhere just kinda rambling on. Don't like.
it's ok as background music, but just all blends together. meh
Er staan slechts 3 van de originele tracks van op Spotify en in dit geval zeg ik jikkediejering, krijg maar de tering. Funkadelic heeft al eens een 4 gehad, dus als ik morgen dood neerval heb ik toch een beetje van ze mogen genieten, dat scheelt weer. Ik geef een 2. Laten we deze gewoon schrappen en dan kunnen de mensen die Maggot Brain een 5 gaven lekker uit vrije wil meer Funkadelic gaan luisteren.
Did not feel the groove.
👎 not for me
This album wasn't available on Spotify. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been my thing anyway...so I'll give it a 2/5.
i realize i don’t like funk very much. it’s not bad, just not for me and that is ok.
Oof. Ok. But repetitive.
könnt nice sein, aber not on spotify
Never heard this before. I enjoyed the Maggot Brain album a lot more than this one. Interesting that the song Maggot Brain shows up here. I don't think I needed to hear more than 1 Funkadelic album before I died.
não me pegou nem um pouco
No need for this to be an hour
Not my style
Very short. More an EP than an album. Funky.
Didn‘t move my funky bones.
Letkee ja hauska, muttei ihmeellinen
- Hab den Namen der Band und es Albums gelesen und dachte nur "Oh no, here we go" - War leider wie befürchtet. Funky as hell und groovy ohne Ende. Alles andere? Keine Ahnung. Das DIng ist an mir vorbeigerauscht - lässt mich leider kälter als kalt. 2/5
There’s some great songs in here somewhere, but Clinton & Co. have a bad habit of burying the lead under six feet of every riff and instrument they could add to the tape without turning it transparent. I get that the point is to basically push funk to the edge of psychedelic prog rock (see: “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?!”), but given how little I enjoy either of those genres, it kind of ruins the funk here. The guitar riffs are too fluid, the grooves are too loose, the synths and bells and whistles are just that — bells and whistles that don’t add much. Musically, this album sounds like the wheels are about to fall off, and I get how that can sound appealing, but for me it lacks cohesion. I also find the lyrics to be absurdist to the point where anyone who sees any depth there has to be projecting, which gives the overall music more credit than it deserves. Historically, Funkadelic has been a band I want to love in theory, but can’t stand in practice, though I’d be the first to admit that I’ve barely scratched the surface of their full discography. One Nation Under a Groove comes closer to good than most of the Funkadelic albums I’ve listened to so far, but it’s still flawed in exactly the ways I expected it would be. Most of my issues are on Side B, where the ridiculousness of “The Doo Doo Song” and the corny vocals of “Into You” push me toward negative. I just find Funkadelic exhausting, and this record doesn’t do much to change that fact, even if I can see a moment here or there where I could bend my brain and enjoy it.
Not awful, but I didn't care for this album.
First listen Saved 3/9 Top track:
Ouin
Wasn't for me 2.5
bland funk
Oh, I don't like the cover, but let's get on and give this a play. Well, I found this rather a dull album. Much preferred the earlier album Maggot Brain
The link to the album on Spotify showed me that which frustrates me about that platform at times, which is that, in the case of for this specific album, most of the songs were greyed out. However, searching for the song "Into You" took me to an album called "Under a Groove CD1"... What is there to say about the album? Some of the stuff is excellent, other stuff even more so, and then some more less... However, why why why do these funk albums all have to have tracks that go on for ever and ever and ever? For me, it is impossible to pick a favorite song from the album, however, the most memorable one, and probably my pick for my "1001 Album play list" will be "P.E. Squad" as I could have sworn that I was listening to the soundtrack of almost any '70s porn flick!
Really enjoyed it.
Not really my style
Damn, sadly not a fan. Has its moments, but it's a really messy album experience over all. "Maggot Brain" is much better and coherent.
Funk lite? I didn't really find this album to be all that funky or interesting. There's nothing here that grabbed me enough to want to listen to a complete track. I had higher expectations and was disappointed.
Love funk, just can’t get into this for whatever reason 🤷🏻♂️
Funky is correct
I have to admit, I expected more. I didn't recognize an of the tracks, there was certainly some great instrumentation but nothing that made me want to come back for more.
Haven't yet listened
Funky but falls off due to tracks being too long.
2.5 it aight. Songs are way too long and some are a jumbled mess
a neurological enema indeed
messy music, obscene lyrics, only a little funky.
This album didn't do much for me, I like the 1971 album better. This was a bit too loose for me, jam band vibes. On a positive note I wouldn't mind dancing to this, but not an album I'd see myself just putting on for a listen.
Why they didn’t choose the- Standing on the Verge of Getting it On album is a mystery to me!
Not funky enough, in my opinion. Rock vibe helped a teeny bit. A lot of this sounded the same. Which would be fine if it was interesting. I thought it would be waaaay more groovy. I won't be rushing to listen to this again.
Made for good background music but I didn’t find it particularly interesting. Enjoyable enough but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen again. I do admit my opinion may be slightly affected by the fact that we’ve have 3 funky-ish albums already. One can only funk so much!
I did not listen to this album nor do I wish to.
meh 2/5
Not for me. 2 stars
Kurz und nicht so meins
p408. 1978. 2 stars. Well done of its kind, but wrong audience. Also subject to the usual late 70's wankage.
Not on Spotify, which makes it annoying to judge. Managed to find a version on YouTube, it after about 20 minutes and my fourth adbreak i gave up. There was one funky track near the start I liked, after that it got a bit naff. Move on.
For a funk band - with funk actually in their name - I would, quite frankly, expect more funk. This is my second Funkadelic and, while both have been solid albums, they just haven't been that funky. There is a lot of proggy rock here, and lots of loose jamming around those themes. I didn't hate listening to it.
Not listened yet
This album wasn’t on Amazon Music, so I listened to Funkadelic - The Best (1999), just to get a feel for their overall catalog and vibe. I prefer the instrumental parts to the lyrics / vocals.
did not love it
sounds like a good album for fans of funk, but i doubt ill ever listen to it again
Started off strong. And I generally like Funkadelic ... but one of my least endearing traits is how much I hate toilet humor and so the fourth track was rough and the album never regained ground with me after that.
Admittedly, I only listened to half of this on YouTube, but wasn’t into it as much as earlier Parliament/Funkadelic albums.
i'm sorry folks, but it's time to publicly declare that I am not and never will be funky. i've made my peace with it, you should too, then we can all move on with our lives
This is my first Funkadlelic album to review, but I did review Parliament's Mothership Connection (which I loved) early on in my journey. I wasn't terribly impressed by this album. The guitar playing was great, and there were some pretty good moments sprinkled throughout the album, but the songs were way too long, and they never really managed to go anywhere interesting. "Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock" was easily the bright spot on the album for me; it was really the only song on the album that made me want to groove along with it. The song were really repetitive, but "Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock" was the one song where I didn't mind the repetition. I'm hoping that I'll enjoy Maggot Brain more than I enjoyed this.
„Maggot Brain“ live ist ein tolles Gitarrensolo. Der Rest ist Selbstbeweihräucherung und Drugs-Beat verstaubter Party Keller der 70er. Wenn diese Songs der Spirit der 70er sein sollte, weiß man warum die Welt auf ABBA wartete.
RnB, funk, 1978 -> 2
I have no idea what to even say about this. There's an entire song about poop, though. So that's fun.
Day42 - first of all it’s not on apple music which is a pain. listening to it on youtube just isn’t the same but it seems less funky and more psychedelic
Joah. Nicht die Offenbarung.
This is not an album - it's one song, repeated. Great for ticking one off the list, bad for enhancing your life with the joys of music.
Gear: DCA ÆON 2 Noire Mix (2015 Remaster): flirrende Details und humorvolle Überraschungen in der Instrumentierung am laufenden Band. Bass unerwartet nicht auf die Party eingeladen. Mix insgesamt enttäuschend und zu heiß für mich. Musik: 🎸🎤🆒🤷♂️ Wertung: 2-3/5
Too Funky
Tracks too long. i guess that goes with the genre. Cohesive subject matter. Arrangments just ok. I wanted to like it more. As the AB folks would say, "but it had a good beat"
Not really my cup of tea in terms of music style, but was an ok funk R&B album that had a huge black rock sound. I can see how it would have been popular at the time culturally but don't love this style. Best: One Nation Under A Groove Worst: Maggot Brain/Chant Note: Spotify didn't have the album so I listened on YouTube
Wasn’t on YouTube music
I am not sure what it is about funk that doesn't connect with me. Instrumentally is was tight, but I was ready to be done about half way through.
It was okay
This album was okay. Some songs I enjoyed, others were not my favourite. I found the sound across the album to be generally the same.
Geschrummel
Weird
Not my style
Unavailable on any streaming service I could find.
Funkadelic - not my typical music choice. Enjoyed it though and would listen again - occasionally.
Apple only had the title track and not the full album sadly I got the just of it. It’s funk, has an African feel a bit. It’s fine. It’s not my thing 4.5/10
Too funky
Ärsyttävää rimputtelua ja voihkimista. Taustateemana oli joku toimiva bassokuvio mutta ei itse biiseistä oikein mitään hyvää sanottavaa irronnut.
Corny shit.
Most if it was fine, funky, nice to groove too. The 11 minute song that was most variations on poop references was awful.
OK funk album.
Funk, but I didn't get into the groove
I didn't really like this album although the guitar leads are really nice at the end there.
Var bare to sanger på Spotify. Ikke min greie uansett.
Too unfocused for me. Honestly just sounds like a big old mess.
Get funky. The Mental Enema was ridiculous.
Ah, the first track is classic. After that, its kind of garbled junk.
Pretty run of the mill late 70s R&B
Not my jam, though there's obviously good artistry at play here.
Couldbt find it as an album, but only a song
Unfortunately this isnt one for me. It got the toes tapping but was, instantly, forgettable. Although I will try some others from the same artist.
too much or too little funk. i can't decide
Meh
kafić muzika
I was impressed that each song sounded very different from another. However, even the shorter songs felt like an eternity. My interest would trail off quite quickly. I did get the impression that they were having fun and I loved how they describe themselves on the sleeve notes. That’s very funny. I also thought they were about to break into the Addams family theme tune in Grooveallegiance. Those were the moments of amusement, but it did go on way too long. Classic 2.5.
Not my thing 2/5
