One Nation Under A Groove

Fun, but kinda meh? Idk, maybe I'm just saying this bc we got this album to listen to just after Earth Wind and Fire

Wonderful and fun, with such interesting layers and texture. No surprise to learn how influential this group and its related group, Parliament, are in the world of funk music and music generally. All the musicians are incredible, and I always gravitate guitar because that's the instrument I play, and wow, Mike Hampton and Gary Shider are superb.

FRIED ICE-CREAM IS A REALITY Made back when they knew how to name music the right way. I mean cmon "promentalshitbackwashpsychosis"??? Nobody will ever be this cool again

Ganz cool, aber Funk ist einfach nicht so meins!

ой, сначала подумал «ну понятно» и скептически подошёл. но где-то ближе к середине меня сломало. пиздец охуенные запилы же. ну и грув реально ПРИСУТСТВУЕТ моднейший по тем временам. конечно, мне легче вот такую музыку воспринимать в использовании каких-нибудь Ламаров-хуемаров, когда всё это адекватится современной обработкой. Но всё-таки не могу не признать, что душевное музло и с немалой долей угара, что уважабельно (посмотреть на названия хотя бы). В общем норм, с удовольствием бы на часок зачиллить под эту тему с тугим блантом (зачеркнуто) с бутылкой вискарика или типа того. 8/10, пусть его

Вообще не выкупал прикола фанка никогда. В детстве засел момент из Джимми Нейтрона вроде, там тян ни с того ни с сего врубает какое-то унылое музло и говорит, мол «отрываемся под самый лучший жанр, фанк». А на неё все смотрят как на ебанутую. Думал, для комического эффекта подобрали какую-то уныль, типа как в Папиных дочках выбирали какую-то муть для демонстрации якобы готик-рока Даши. А нет, действительно, весь фанк, что слышал, звучит как the thing that should not be. Так что там по альбому. Да снова архачиная одиозная уныль. Заглавный трек вообще пустышка назойливая, но, бля, при этом внесён в зал славы рок-н-ролла, ну охуеть теперь. Треки скучные и надоедливые, названия всратые. Последний трек правда хорош, но занимает то же место в альбоме, что и New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down в Sound of Silver, будто говорит: «Смотри, мы могли бы нормальное музло играть, но не стали, хы-ы». Ну и идите нахуй тогда.

Wenn es schon das beste Fink Album aller Zeiten ist...

Smooth funk that sets a groove and keeps it going. It is strangely difficult to find this album though due to licensing.

Cannot stand funk

Good funk rock. Pity about the dross that is "Promental..."

I used to have the title track of this album on a couple of playlists years ago, but never heard much more by Funkadelic. I still absolutely love the title track and there were also some more good parts on this album, especially Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock and the live track Maggot Brain which both have some sick guitars. It's not the kind of music I want to listen to for too long in one go or particularly often. But for every once in a while it's pretty good.

Funkadelic, exactly what it says on the tin 😂 groovy, Prince-esque vibes. Decent, OG shit, real enjoyable. 3/5.

The absolute pinnacle of funk, with a healthy blend of rock and psychedelia. I would give my left leg to be invited to a 1970's George Clinton party, and I don't even like parties.

No lo encontré en Spotify (?), espero que lo que escuché en yt haya sido el bueno. De cualquier forma me gustó un montón, tiene una vibra muy animada (a ratos como para estar pachecx), buen ritmo y mezclas interesantes.

Lunchmeataphobia this is essentially one great track and then an album full of filler. Doo Doo chasers. definitely getting a higher score because of the track names and the homemade album cover that is trying to say something about the bermuda triangle.

I haven't listened to this before, and didn't expect to like it, but it's fantastic.

Me encanta el funky y no conocía a este grupo

Could barely tell one track from the next and was never ending.

Some nice moments and an influence to a number of bands not to mention numerous hip hop samples over the years but can’t say I will ever go back

This should be better. It starts well but quickly fades into background music because it's so samey throughout. I kept forgetting I was listening to it. It's obviously very influential, you can play 'spot the sample' throughout the thing. Disappointing though, I thought it would be more and it so veryn early was.

Great! Get it Spotify!

no había escuchado este disco, me doy asco. perdón. maravilla.

I sometimes eat mice.

Shame, there was pockets of delight in some of theses funk fests but they fell flat often. Cholly was a particular highlight. 2*

Sadly the same as the last funk album on here, couple of great tracks but around 60% faff and nonsense. Cholly and Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock are ace though.

I really like this. Funky, interesting and a lot like maggot brain.

It didn't inspire me to dance in the office at 10am on a Monday morning. Top funk would have. The whole office would be up off their seats, with every demographic represented, in a rainbow-coalition of dancing.

Incredibly funky. Some crazy weird druggy funk lyrics, a pretty great closing track with a Hendrixesque guitar solo.

Excellent

No lo sé, Rick. Chido, pero una hora de sonidos tan similares no me hace querer regresar al disco. Me gustó who says a funk band can't play rock y ese bonus track final que rompe un poco la monotonía. De repente me sonó a talking heads algunas partes Mood: pachecón-rockeron.

3.6 + The blend of genres, the communal feel, and the sheer funk - you can't deny the ambition and scope of vision here. Purely as a listening experience, though, it can get tiring to wade through some of the extended jam sessions. For me, it sometimes sounds too crowded. I'm a bigger fan of "Maggot Brain" as a more coherent record, though it's not as accomplished as a funk record or amalgam of genres.

couldn't listen on spotify

Pöppig poppig. Cool eingespielt und doch nervt das selbstreferenzielle Tool Kit und Monophrasische (Funk Funk Funk und nochmals Funk). Und immer dieser oktroyierte Frohsinn eines Kindergeburtstages oder Büttensitzung. Rette mich in die langsamen Nummern wie „Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad“ oder das stompy-fette „Who says a Funk Band can’t play Rock?!“ Trotz ultraschlimmen Cover gibt es: Funk-fersöhnliche 2.5

Psychedelic Freak Funkrock, frisch vom Mutterschiff - wem da nicht Hose und Hirn platzen, der ... sollte sich mal die eine anziehen und das andere ausknipsen, oder? Mich jedenfalls kickt diese in ihrer ernsthaften Albernheit und Weirdness ja auch wahnsinnig integrative, einfach alle Völker rauschartig verschmelzende Sex- und Koks- und LSD-Mischung ("One Nation Under A Groove", remember?) mit zunehmendem Alter immer mehr. Weiß auch nicht warum, aber so isses ja nun mal. Da passiert einfach so viel! Herrlich, wie es überall schengelt und bumst an Deck, und blubbert und quietscht und lickt und wie die größte Angst darin besteht, von einem Sandwich gegessen zu werden: bitte beamen Sie mich hoch, denn who says an old white cis male can't jump? Abgesehen davon natürlich auch beeindruckend: die bei aller Verpeiltheit schiere technische Perfektion (das Live Medley, meine Güte!), die aber nie auch nur in die Nähe von kaltem Muckertum gerät. In dem Zusammenhang allerdings auch anzumerken: gegen Ende wird's mir mit der P E Squad ein bisschen ZU verpeilt. Aber hey: sonnige 4 Punkte schicken wir auf jeden Fall ins All!

Best funk album is a deserved title. Would be a 4.5 just because I couldn't listen on spotify, and availability should matter.

It's very clear how much this album influenced many modern songs. This is not exactly my preferred music style, but it's very easy to understand why this is a complete classic.

Funky, africano.

solo pido un album que me guste :((((((((((((

Pues no es un álbum al que regresaré, pero tiene buenos momentos y es divertido en general, de repente muy rockero. En realidad me gustaron tres canciones: la titular, "Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!" y ese medley en vivo muy bueno igual. 7.5/10

strange. their other album is amazing though

I like George Clinton I like Parliament I like Funkadelic But I'm still waiting for George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic https://youtu.be/vdj5Ts8asdQ

meh, has its moment tho

Kein guter Tag zum Funken - 2

Excellent album, plein de sonorités classiques et originales, paroles amusantes et réfléchies.

Classic

Pretty awesome. 3 stars.

I want the funk.

Hard to find

Fried ice cream is a reality!

Another one that is so insanely elevated above the general pack. Not enough great music is also genuinely funny.

Sound is cool, can see it's influence on lots of other bands and genres. Lyrics are a tad one dimensional, they love singing that they have the funk. Enjoyed it.

Removed from spotify

Funky and fun and impossible to resist dancing to. Maggot Brain came earlier in this project and this isn't as awesome as that album, but is still a great listen. These guys, despite being the epitome of the 70s, never sound dated, and give everything they have on every track.

Getting down just for the funk of it.

REALLY not my style

I guess I’m supposed to love this. I really like funk and this is one for the most famous, seminal fuck albums of all time. I kind of liked it but it honestly just doesn’t grab me.

Jo jo funky... Men meget lange og lige lovlig fjollet og underlige. Æv

the album wasn't on spotify/youtube
