groovy as hell, maggot brian is better but this was sick
I really love Maggot Brain but never listened to this one. I don’t think any songs topped ‘Can you get to that’ but the funk was funking.
This one was tough to find? (maybe just in Canada?) anyway, worth the hunt.
The first track was good, but the rest weren't available on spotify. I left it at that.
Unavailable on Apple Music
as always, with funkadelic, the groove is front and center. this is a funky-ass album. it does not quit. fun listen. off kilter and corny, but that's the name of the game. the music is pure fun. if you are not grooving in your seat, listening to this, then you're doing something wrong. all that said, there was something about it that did not push it into my upper echelon. it's a party of a time, but not enough of a party? i kind of wanted it to be more energetic, more frenetic, more crazy. it feels kind of too subdued. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it a lot, i just wish it felt more like a rager.
This was wierd... way wierd. Wierder than I expected. And I was here for it.
3 stars, but 4 with the bonus disc with the live version of Maggot Brain and P.E. Squad/Doo Doo Chasers!! Fav tracks: One Nation Under A Groove, Maggot Brain (live), P.E. Squad/Doo Doo Chasers
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?"
Decent museum music
Excellent lp. It reminds me of slightly less funky version of Trout Mask Replica.
Album not available
Lots of bangers on here. It feels like it has the vibes of a hyper-produced electronic pop song, but you know they’re just jamming. === Special callouts for Cholly and Maggot Brain
Straight walk off
Funky
Not on Spotify
Hard to find and didn’t blow my socks off.
Not bad
By the time it got to 3 minutes into track 2 this was starting to annoy me. By 5 minutes into track 2 I was angry and wanting the whole experience to end. It seems I don't get 'funk' if this is supposed to be a great funk album. Perhaps it's a 'transatlantic thing'. Nah. Not for me. I am out. 1/5.
Виявилось, що Maggot Brain в мене вже давно в плейлисті, але трохи довша версія, так що було цікаво послухати цілий альбом. Не впевнена, що буду коли-небудь переслуховувати його, але загалом звучить добре й цілісно. Особисто мені така кількість пісень у цьому жанрі за один раз —трохи забагато, таку музику сприймаю в обмеженій кількості :)
Дуже непогано, особливо перша пісня, але надзвичайно одноманітно і затягнуто. Для чілу з друзями саме то, але просто так я не слухав. Але Funkadelic додав соіб в плейлист, концентрований груууув.
Старий крінжовий рок, перша пісня (у якої 43 мільйони прослуховувань) - найкраща
класні рифи, але мені потрібен гігантський косяк, щоб витримати 60 хвилин прогресів фанку maggot brain сподобався більше
Прикольний вайб, мені на фончик зайшло. В плейлист вечірки в стилі 70х можна додати
Трошки як нестигле яблуко. Вживати можна але чогось не вистачає
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.
Hard to deny. I'm going to have to listen to Maggot Brain to see which one I like more.
couldn't access it on spotify, found it on youtube. funk is so interesting to me as something you doesnt listen to it. the lyrics make sense but they're absurdist. its like a camus novel with groove and a backing choir. fried ice cream is a reality man. a lot of great songwriting and the penultimate song is a sudden rock-based guitar solo. very accessible funk for a rock fan. 7.5/10 but leans 4/5
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.
One of the greatest examples of funk ever produced, with surprisingly shredding guitar solos. Never gets old.
This is a pretty fun listen. I love the positivity and not giving up on the "funk"!
Cool as hell but it does get pretty noodley
What the funking funk?
A fun and tight album
crazy piece of funk i love this album now all I need is a joint to smoke and then this album will be even more funky.
good album a lot of different tones and pacing throughout
The funk-ler
George Clinton is a legend. Great listen!
To quote The Prodigy from when I was listening to their album earlier this week: "Oh my God that's some funky shit!" 3.5/5 that I have no problem rounding up to a 4.
It is most definitely a groove.
funk! funk! funk!
Funky
Funk at its best! George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and co. do little wrong here to ensure 'One Nation Under a Groove' is a landmark achievement of the funk genre. While far less commercial than sister band Parliament, Funkadelic certainly ups the experimental stakes with their records, especially on their landmark third record 'Maggot Brain', but 'One Nation Under a Groove' actually finds Funkadelic stepping more into Parliament territory, crafting funk jams that are as toe-tapping as they are experimental. The first half of the record certainly alludes to this, as One Nation Under a Groove, Grooveallegiance and Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock? are all rather catchy, especially the latter with its infectious rhythm and incredible guitar work. The only real Funkadelic-esque song on the album is Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers), with enough experimentation hearkening back to Funkadelic's classic sound, but this album certainly plays like a Parliament album in disguise as a Funkadelic album, which works in this case as 'One Nation Under A Groove' became Funkadelic's most commercially successful record. 'One Nation Under A Groove' stands alongside Parliament's 'Mothership Connection' as the finest funk has to offer, and while I prefer Mothership ever so slightly, this album is a great starting point to explore the depths of Funkadelic's fearless creativity. If you like this record, then go check out 'Maggot Brain' and see if you can stomach it.

What a wonderful listen. I think this project is slowly making me more of a fan of funk/soul. It’s an actual crime this gem isn’t on Spotify.
Interesting. Somewhat. Couple good songs, nothing I’d revisit. Maggot brain has some great guitar!
Not my groove. ★★
Hmmm, it's OK. Some alright beats but it's quite meandering at points. E.g. do we really need 10 minutes of that 10 second riff in Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis? One Nation Under a Groove, Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock? and Into You all great songs though
Je dois faire une confession, une confession qui ressemble presque à une hérésie : je n'aime pas le funk. Voilà, c'est dit. Pour moi, le funk, c'est trop souvent des costumes à paillettes, une positivité qui me file de l'urticaire et, surtout, ces putains de "cocottes" de guitare. Vous savez, ce tchiki-tchiki-tchiki rythmique qui, personnellement, me donne envie de me jeter sous un bus. Mon panthéon musical est pavé de post-punk, de noise et de types qui ont l'air de vouloir se pendre. Le funk, c'est l'antithèse. Alors, quand le bouquin m'a pointé du doigt ce "One Nation Under A Groove", j'ai soupiré. Et puis, j'ai écouté. Je n'aime pas le funk mais Funkadelic c'est bien plus que du funk. Cet album, ce n'est pas du funk au sens où l'entendait le disco ou même un James Brown tiré à quatre épingles. C'est le chaos, c'est une partouze cosmique organisée par George Clinton dans un vaisseau spatial rempli de LSD. C'est sale, c'est lourd, et surtout, par moments, c'est du rock. Funkadelic, c'est la branche "groupe" de l'univers P-Funk, la face B de Parliament. Là où Parliament explorait la pure soul, Funkadelic était là pour brancher les guitares et tout faire péter. C'est d'ailleurs le premier truc qui frappe. On est loin du tchiki-tchiki, car ici, la guitare (merci Michael Hampton, alias Kidd Funkadelic) elle hurle. Elle est grasse, elle est saturée, elle part dans des solos psychédéliques qui doivent autant à Hendrix qu'à n'importe quel rythmicien de Detroit. L'album pose d'ailleurs la question directement avec "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!". Le deuxième truc, c'est la basse, ici elle ne se contente pas de marquer le temps ; elle mène la danse, elle est épaisse, ronde, et elle fait trembler les murs. Ces éléments-là, les éléments rock, sont indéniablement excellents. Mais (parce qu'il y a un mais), le problème, c'est que George Clinton et sa bande sont tellement défoncés et tellement amoureux de leur propre groove qu'ils ne savent pas toujours quand s'arrêter. C'est le syndrome du "jam" cosmique. C'est une musique qui prône la libération totale, certes, mais à force de se libérer, elle se perd un peu en route et les morceaux s'étirent. Le titre éponyme est un manifeste, mais il dure plus de sept minutes. Et que dire de "Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo-Doo Chasers)"... Le titre est génial, mais le morceau est une épreuve d'endurance. Les passages rock, ceux que j'apprécie, se retrouvent souvent noyés dans des vagues de R&B et de funk pur jus qui, pour mon oreille de post-punker, finissent par tourner en rond. C'est dense, oui, mais c'est aussi parfois incroyablement bordélique et complaisant. On sent l'influence que ce truc a pu avoir sur les Beastie Boys ou Primal Scream, mais l'album en lui-même est épuisant. Au final et après une écoute attentive, je pourrais dire... Je ne suis toujours pas fan de funk mais je respecte Funkadelic. "One Nation Under A Groove"est un document, un bordel psychédélique fascinant et une étape importante. Les parties de guitare sont à tomber et l'énergie est indéniable, mais c'est aussi un album qui me fatigue. C'est un album intéressant, c'est un album important, mais ce n'est pas un chef-d'œuvre pour moi. Note : 3/5
Holy shit. Love P-Funk, but there's a few albums I've missed due to them not streaming. Was eager to listen so hit up YouTube and struggled through ads 'n shit to listen. Worth it and gat-damn! Fuckin' weird-ass shit on this one, with moments that feel downright cultish. Whole thing is thick 'n grooving. Thick 'n psychedelic too. Weird one even for Funkadelic, but also groovy as fuck. Def gonna be getting this one on vinyl.

I loved the single ONUAG, but the album, not very much, I actually prefer George Clinton’s work with “Parliament”
Leider scheint das Album in Spotify kaputt zu sein und zeigt nur drei Songs - aber die sind recht gut
It’s fine, too bad it’s so hard to locate right now.
The funkiest thing that's probaly ever been recorded. This is an absolute joy to listen to. Unbelievable guitar playing. Instrumentation is so tight, lively, inventive and just really really fun. There is so much joy in this and range, from upbeat to slower and more pensive. Wild lyirics. I would genuinely give a kidney to be at a George Clinton gig in the 70s
I've already listened to his album (31). Great to re-listen! I've always been more of a Parliament fan but Funkadelic have some hidden gems (like the bass solo on Groovallegiance, absolutely divine). It's too bad that this album is not on Spotify.
Funky funny!
Genuinely couldn't find this on Apple Music, I'm sure it's good though. Edit 6/30/26: I haven't been logging the day I'm going back to these, but this one feels worth it cause it's the one where I tried to find it and just couldn't my first time around. And honestly I really didn't miss much, there's kinda nothing special about this one. It's fine I guess, but it's not like there's not better funk music on here, even better Funkadelic on here. But I'm still glad I tracked it down, it would've been hanging over my head until the end of this thing if I didn't.
Instantly made me happier
soul train from beetlejuice soundtrack
"The whole funk, and nothing but the funk!"
Funky goodness.
Not sure what rights fight is keeping this off Spotify, but that's such a bummer. Great album. If I could add to my playlist, I think I would add "Groovallegiance" (track 2) and then either the title track (Track 1) or Cholly (the last track in its original album form). Great listen, even though I tend to be more of a fan of earlier Funkadelic.
Great soundscapes/tones and occasional brilliance among overly repetitious and sometimes obnoxious grooves.
Joyous funky psychedelic rock, strong soul / gospel influences, great bass riffs - just fun and I will be listening again
it's a 3.5 for me. i cannot use .5 stars but today i feel good so i give 4 :)
Skall återse.
Ok, but not mine
Funk legends
Very funky album. Pleasant to listen to. Pretty diverse, lots of melodies and different sounds, hard to be bored by it. More plays would probably elevate the enjoyment even more.
If you can't jive to this we can't be friends.
Super groovy mind bending funk album with a mix of genres thrown in. This one will keep you bouncing. Only one song that I would considered a skip, all others were infectious.
5/5
Listened to many times, along with every other P-Funk album. The thing I'll say about this album is that it's probably the least likely album I will listen to with other people. It's less of the upbeat danceable music they've been known to make. Cholly and Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! are exceptions to that. It's more psychedelic and has a darker tone than the other Funkadelic (and certainly Parliament) albums I listen to more often. But it's really good nonetheless.
Now this is a solid album. Much better than the other Funkadelic album I've listened to (Maggot Brain). An interesting mix of rock and funk, that turns out really well. Plus, it's got some awesome guitar work.
I pledge a groovallegiance to the funk
Funkadelic keeps on being amazing, no dud in this tracklist with constant highs. The live version of maggot brain is amazing as expected. We want the funk!
This is a clear five. What a fun album! I'm a big rap fan, so it is always nice to hear music that rap producers heavily sampled from. I loved that Funkadelic leaned into rock on this one.
Groovier than it is funk but that's a distinction that doesn't need to be made when the album is that good. First 3 tracks are spectacular, kinda dies out till "Maggot Brain" which just grabs you by the ears and pulls you in. Then P.E Squad; nothing needs to be said besides fried ice cream is a reality These are the kinda albums I needed when joining this group. Would have never went outta the way to check this out but it forced me to listen with a clear conscience, an open mind and enjoyed most of the 59.36 minute time length. Disclaimer: This isn't on Spotify, so get an ad blocker or something for YouTube. 4/5 Stars
A little too jammy for me, but really well executed.
Not on Spotify anymore but YT had it. Some great stuff, some weird stuff but liked it
Not on Spotify but really good jams
Yes but idk, didn't feel it
Just gritty, raw, funk rock. George Clinton is one of the greatest songwriter's of all time. The rhythms and rebellious energy fill this album with life. There are probably better Funkadelic albums, but this one's still solid. Favorite songs: Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock, Cholly, Into You.
Good name. Definitely funky.
Nope
Couldn't find this one on apple music, found it on spotify and it wasn't playable. Found a stream of the whole album on youtube, glad I did. Here's a link to anyone who might be reading this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmDNMx9FRgI Really cool stuff, awesome guitar work...extended jams are awesome. Not sure why this isn't available on streaming platforms but it's great. Some of the talking over the tracks is a distraction...man, just let this music play, no one needs to hear your coked out ramblings.
не уверена что слушала полную версию альбома и не уверена что слышала больше одной песни, но для фанка не нужно разнообразия!
Yeah funky I liked it.
Maybe a bit too indulgent for me. Fun though.
One nation under a groove is a bit of a banger isn’t it!? But this album version went on unnecessarily too long. Some fine funk throughout.
P funk at its absolute best. What a fantastic ride. And the companion EP was also fantastic.
Really solid album, more consistent than Maggot Brain but arguably not as many highs. I could see myself listening through this ever now and again even if none of the individual songs would be my go to.
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
Not able to find the album available to stream
This was great. No doubt about it
El funk, como otros géneros, por periodos me cuesta. Pero es un álbum con el que apetece ponerse a bailar con sonidos ricos. Le pongo un 4 aunque creo que por mi gusto personal sería un 3.5
In funkadelic we trust
Great album. Had to find it on YouTube.
He’s got the funk
If we really were one nation under a groove, a lot of our problems would be solved.
It's funkadelic.
es geht so ...
Finky
Day 74 Only had time to listen through once but on first listen I preferred this to maggot brain. 7/10 Highlights One Nation Under A Groove Into You
Kahju, et seda kulda Spotifys väga pole. Kuulasin albumit hoopis Youtube'st. Siin plaadil on tõesti palju head kraami. Mõned pikemad lood (kuni 10 min!) on täitsa omaette kogemused. Funki-huvilisele tundub see album olevat kohustuslik kuulamine ja mulle see ka tõesti meeldib.
Pleasant durprise
This is good enough that it pisses me off that I've become dependent on streaming (and it's just not easily available).
It’s great fun(k)! The tracks are long and a little too jammy for my personal groove, but there’s nothing not to love. I’ll take this over another Byrds or Eno album any day.
God damn, I did not know what I was missing. There are some awesome, awesome songs on here. That said, there's some long-winded jam bandy stuff that lost me. Still, 4-stars for some outright classics, and for an album that I'm sure will grow on me with more listens.
I must admit I didn’t finish this, but not because I didn’t like it. I thought it was bright and inventive without being annoying. The funk of Isley Bros without the blandness, and the jam-iness of Yes without quite so much wank.
jesus christ i love these guys. super fun to go off spotify - feels like im really digging into sound when i do so and not deferring to routine. and what a sound to dig into. it's just groovy!
Don’t love the slobbery sounds at the start Good guitar at the start of I bet you Reverb at the start of music for my mother is nice, then the stripped back guitar Zippy guitar sounds in I got a thing are good Overall it’s not my thing but musically it’s impressive
"We have been going to this same party every night for 47 years, and in no way is that pathetic!" That sounds like a joke but I'm serious: this may be my favorite funk album ever and a sonic building block for the last half-century of pop music as a whole (as well as a reminder that it was total bullshit to re-segregate pop music in the late 70s and thereby cut off the cross-pollination of genres on display here). Slash should buy Mike Hampton a house.
Awesome, but hard to find a place to stream.
Äääääh mitä tähän nyt sanois sitte. Ei mitään huonoa, muttei kyllä jäänyt mikään biisi mieleen
Vähän katkonaisesti tuli tämä levy kuunneltua läpi. Kuitenkin jäi posit fiilikset, rentoa seiskytluvun meininkiä. Sen kummemmin erottelematta pannaan neljä staraa!
Periaatteessa ihan groove-meininki, mutta jotenkin ei silti jaksanut kuunnella yhtään.
Ihan tömäkkää fänkkiä ja meininkiä. Kauheesti en aihetta tunne. Perusvarmalla siis mennään.
Funk ei ehkä ole omia genrejä, mutta nousee tämä jo yhdellä kuuntelukerralla genren keskitason yli selvästi ja kappaleet ovat monipuolisia.
Tää oli kyllä ihan kovaa ajoa. Vähän oli pitkiä biisejä ja ne rupesivat toistamaan itseään biisin sisällä, mutta sitten taas toisaalta ihan mukavan erilaisia keskenään.
For the most successful Funkadelic record it's weird that it's not available to stream, no? My son loves James Brown and we were talking about soul and rock the other day and I was saying how incredible it is that Rock Music, invented by Black people, from Sister Rosetta Thorpe to Big Mama Thornton to Chuck Berry and all the way through Jimi Hendrix, is now considered a White Sound. The scene including the modern Black shredder in Sinners encapsulated that, in a movie about White people literally sucking the life out of an entire culture. So, I loved the fact that the biggest hit on this is "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!" and the lead guitar is as good as anything anyone from Hendrix to...I dunno...every white kid that wanted to BE Hendrix ever tried. Does it lose a little steam toward the end? Umm...yeah. But I think that's also by design. It's a record from the 70s. You are supposed to lose yourself in this thing, not sit and critically review it for some stupid blog.
Short and funky.
Couldn’t find the album but the single was fun!
Man I'm craving ice cream...
Tons of fun. It's just so funky Favorite Song: One Nation Under A Groove
Those rythms are always a pleasure to listen to. The bass and the scent of Jamaican roots make this album a jewel.
It might be their most accessible album, even with ‘the doodoo chasers’ appealing to the teenage boy in me, but there is another, earlier album I hold in higher regard. Hint: the title track is on the EP that originally came with this album
Masterpiece, could not help but funk dance on the train from Oslo to Ålesund
'Here's a chance to dance our way / Out of our constrictions.' If you ever needed proof that funk was our very best salubrious and patriotic wager, One Nation Under A Groove would be your decisive testimony: 'W/ the united funk we can fly.' I'd press you to take them seriously: imagine what national politics could achieve under a groove rather than aligned w/ shitty powers [see '...(The Doo-Doo Chasers)']. Yes, the songs are jumbo, but for once the avant-garde - b/c that's what they really are ('Fried Ice Cream is a reality!') - is for fun and wholeness rather than masturbatory chops + licks. And don't get it twisted, it's one of the all-time rock records: 'We're gonna rock and roll the crowd / Just watch them dance, watch them dance.'
later
This isn't just an album, this is a complete experience. I haven't listened every Parliament / Funkadelic album there is, but this seems to be regarded as their last great album. And what a great album it is. It's like a blend of everything learned from their past years as a group, combined with new influences like Disco. The added live parts bring this album to life even more so. I also think the Maggot Brain performance here is better than the version on the album of the same name. What a brilliant album, I wish it were even longer.
easily a Manifesto to groove.
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 on spotify
I would rate it 6 if I could
Fun stuff going on but as a whole... Not something I'll be going back to.
I'm always happy to listen to Funkadelic, they may be a funk band but they have to be one of the greatest bands to blend genres, there a rock guitar solos on this that will blow your mind, it's funky and soulful and just a happy album.
Not a huge fan of the middle song in the album, but the rest was enjoyable.
Would be three stars but Mike Hamptons Guitar freaking sings! Also, is it mandatory that 95% of funks lyrics have to be the word funk over and over again?
Really funky, as it should. Great listen, not boring, and at least as political as it should be. Fav lyrics: Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Fav music: Who says a funk band can't play rock Honorable mention: Maggot brain
great album
Featuring such hits as "Ladies Night, but it's not Ladies Night". I'm joking, but for a George Clinton record I thought I'd enjoy this more. Instead, it just felt pretty all over the place and never hit me with an "oh yeah!" moment.
Ameisin
This album is a real mood, and a good one at that. Definitely something I could put on and just have on in the background all day, or actively listen to; it fits both of those for me pretty well. 3.75/5
Fun album. I like this more than Maggot Brain. Doo Doo Squad represent. 3.75/5
surpreendentemente muito bom, muito divertido. Maggot Brain/Chant foi a melhor, mas em geral, músicas muito boas.
Top tier funk. Essential!
Its very weird the way that ONUAG starts by dropping you in what sounds like part way through the song. As if there is a hidden intro (or more) that they thought nah lets just cut that. Why does this album have Maggot Brain on it? Seems a bit unnecessary. This album feels like a debut album - its very loose and jam bandy (obviously). Its weird that its 7 years after Maggot Brain, it feels less mature. Nonetheless it features some absolutely insatiable funk, many many undeniable bops and boppy moments. Fave Tracks: One Nation Under A Groove, Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers), 3.9/5
I've said it before - the Funk never fails. And Funkadelic is the top of the Funk Pyramid. I'd give Maggot Brain an edge over One Nation, but that may just be personal taste. There's no filler on this one, either.
Do you promise to funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk?
I think my favorite part of Funk music is the continuous running trend of just about every song bluntly stating “You are listening to Funk. This is Funky. We Funk. Funk.” as if it isn’t the most obvious thing in the world. Man, I wanted to just give this a low rating and move on out of spite because it isn’t on Spotify. I imagined it just couldn’t possibly be that good. I was terribly, catastrophically wrong. This is Psychedelic Funk Soul Rock and at the same time, it’s genuinely funny. Unfortunately, I was listening to it without knowing the names of the songs, as again it wasn’t on Spotify, but any of the songs with extended psychedelic jams were my favorites. Those just absolutely rocked and it’s an outright SHAME that this was as hard to find as it was!!!! This one wasn’t just Funky. It was outright Funkalicious. Another Funky banger. A 5/5. Just praying this doesn’t become a trend of albums not being on any of the streaming services like this one. Docking it a point for being hard to find would just be petty of me, and I just can’t do that knowing how good this album is from top to bottom unfortunately.
This was great. The live version of maggot brain is super cool.
This is #day426 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… my second Funkadelic album, the first being Maggot Brain precisely 200 days ago on my #day225, which I rated a 4. One Nation Under A Groove is, you guess, groovy, funky, and... perhaps not as essential as Maggot Brain. This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day427.
I don’t think it’s their best but still an infectious album.
None
Pretty good
Oh he'll yeah
This was alright. Dug Maggot Brain
encantada
I enjoyed this a whole lot more than I expected to. I hate funk. But - well, it's funk, Jim, but not as we know it!
I guess this is technically considered a "late" era Funkadelic/Parliament (honestly, idk the difference) album, and you really can tell that they had mastered the art of P-funk by this point in their career. While I do love how ambitious and ahead of the curve their seminal 'Maggot Brain' is, the tracks on this album present a level of slickness that just isn't there in their earlier works, at least not to this degree. The way the band locks into these polyrhythmic and erratic grooves is hypnotizing in ways rivaled by very few. And the vocals are so smooth, lightly coasting on the airtight grooves here like they're nothing - never overpowering the rest of the music. The vocals are also super diverse on this record, like each song is sung from the perspective of some new wacked out character in this Funkadelic universe. The opening title track is one of the band's best tracks right off the bat, just the perfect funk song that creates specific itches just so it can scratch them. The following 'Groovallegiance' has this almost psychedelic reggae feel to it, but it's the vocal layering and harmonization that really make this song stand out in the mix here. It also has maybe the best build-up on the whole album. And I'm sorry, 'Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock!?' gives like Fishbone 3rd wave Ska vibes - but with those classic Funkadelic sing-along group vocals. 'Lunchmeatophobia' also gives off this vibe, with some incredibly heavy and dirty guitar playing driving the whole thing. Also, that goddamn Enema song is one of the most wacked out insane things I've ever heard - on both the vocal and lyrical front. And I kind of love everything about it; my favorite line has to be "Fried Ice Cream is a reality" because yes. ALSO, this album has a live version of the song 'Maggot Brain' as it turns out, and it maintains all the emotional power of the classic original, though with a bit more pizzazz. While I prefer the simplicity of the original, the song itself is too good, so I can appreciate this more textured take on it. This thing kicks so much ass it hurts - I need to own this shit and spin it for the rest of my life. This band is 2/2 so far on this list, but I also felt like that'd be the case anyway. Until next time, Funkadelic.
Had only ever heard Maggot Brain (which I love) so was good to hear more from Fubkadelic. This is definitely not as essential but still has some fantastic, infectious grooves. The riff to Doo Doo Chasers is so good.
Somewhere in the middle of it I had to go do something so I paused it. When I came back I was like "at least that shit ended". Then I remembered it didn't. Unpausing it was like when you get used to the smell of a decomposing corpse in your house, then you get out to buy something, and when you get back home the stench is unbearable again even though you've spent the last two weeks breathing it Bonus songs were really good but they're not from the main album so I won't factor them in
Ait
These people are making music from another planet in a different dimension. This exists ion its own level. Really impressive.
Couldn't find this album. Listened to Funkadelic - Funkadelic. Wasn't as much funk as I expected. It was fine
Alright
Finally, a politcaly movement I can get behind. One Nation, Under A Groove, Indivisible, with liberty and FUNK for all.
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
Obviously funky, but perhaps less obviously rocks pretty hard as well. Guitar is very enjoyable. About as mad a collection of track names as you could imagine having. I'm definitely under this groove though.
This is a treat. Super easy to listen to, super catchy, super fun.
Whilst it was funky, it wasn't what I was expecting. Less big band funk, more rock band funk. Enjoyable but didn't make me want to listen again.
Considering the band name this did not have enough funk for me
Funky. The first song is by far the standout, however overall an album I enjoyed with a bit of variety.
Some good funk tunes, but tailed off a bit

Good funky grooves
Heard to find this one
These songs had some great grooves on it. Funky rhythmic easy listening groove music.
A very silly album, in a fun way. I'm glad I listened to it. The comedy songs would be hard to listen to again, but the rest were great.
Wonderful Funk album. You can't beat this one. Solid all the way through. The world is alright as long as we have Bootsy Collins. My Rating: 5/5
A standout soul album with smooth grooves, silky vocals, and a bassline that pulls you in. The rock-influenced guitars and punchy drums add extra edge, making it more than just classic soul. A perfect entry point for anyone curious about the genre. 9/10.
I had trouble listening to this whole thing as it wasn’t on streaming. But it was a good funk album!
I once had moral diarrhea after going to Wing Stop. Thank god for this album, I can finally clean up my doo-doo.
Three funk songs that have a sum of over an hour. Laced with electric guitar solos in pure squibly-doo style. I admit that my mind was elsewhere while listening, and whilst it was cool to hear something new, I didn't feel particularly captivated by it. 3 Stars.
This album is like a tailgate party before an LA Rams game in the 70s. The game doesn't kick off for a few hours, but the crowds have made their way to the carpark outside the stadium nice and early to get hyped for the game. There are about eighteen different barbeques cooking burgers and pork chops within a three hundred metre radius, and every car boot has a chilly bin filled with beers in it. People walk from car to car, sharing a beer and a yarn with people they have never met before and will never speak to again after the game. The crowd is a diverse cross section of all that Los Angeles has to offer. Suburban families, low-level street criminals, LSD-fuelled hippes, Silicon Valley tech-bros, crack heads who aren't going to the game but love the chance to scab a beer are all mingling together amongst each other. Obviously these people wouldn't normally look twice at each other, but their local sports team has brought them together into a short-term community, and they are enjoying every moment of it.
A solid funk album. Good groves and keeps you interested
I'm not high enough for this, and I'm pretty high. Galactic grooves, loads of cheese, not their best work but has some tasty peaks!
Funky funky funky ass music!
And on the last day god took a little bit of Bob Marley, some Jimi Hendrix, a dollop of James Brown and a powerful dilution of Andre 3000. And he looked upon his creation and he saw that it was good. He saw that it was VERY good. He called his creation One Nation Under A Groove. But he was a jealous god and he feared that his subjects would turn instead to and worship the false god George Clinton. So he hid his creation away, far from the greedy eyes of Youtube Music subscribers. But the people were not deterred and they seeked out Funkadelic, and they listened, and they swooned in joyous rapture. And it was good, very good.
George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars were my second concert ever, and even with only a vague awareness of their catalog, I was instantly pulled into the party. That same energy lives here. This album is pure Funkadelic- funky, fresh, and irresistibly danceable. It’s the kind of record that makes you realize how impossible it is to talk about funk without talking about George Clinton and everything he touched. Historically, One Nation Under a Groove was their commercial peak, a defining moment where funk stretched out into the mainstream without losing its edge. The title track alone became an anthem, but the whole album showcases that blend of groove, humor, and psychedelic weirdness that made P-Funk a movement, not just a band.
I love this weird ass shit. FEET DONT FAIL ME NOW.
Here's our chance to dance our way out of our constrictions...feet don't fail me now! I hereby pledge a groovallegiance to the funk, The United Funk of Funkadelica! I get misty-eyed imagining what a wonderful world it would be if the title track to this album were in fact our national anthem. Actually, all of Side One of this album operates as a utopian manifesto that is guaranteed to make you smile while you're dancing your ass off. Unfortunately, Side Two starts out pretty stupid and only partially redemms itself. So it goes. Do you promise to funk? The whole funk, and nothing but the funk?
This is actually my second listen to this album in this collection, but it was so long ago it's a bit like listening to it again for the first time. The main album is a bit slower than I remember, with only the title track and (to some degree) "Who says a funk band can't play rock?!" standing out, but "Lunchmeataphobia" and the live track part of "Maggot brain" on the bonus EP is also a fun addition. And I like the idea that this album has an element of progressive rock in it, although it feels more like prog funk than anything else (if that's even a thing). It does feel like Funkadelic (or at least the two albums we get in this project) is a kind of red-headed step-child to Parliament, despite having largely the same musicians on most albums; I've enjoyed both of the Funkadelic albums, but not as much as Parliament, I'll admit. And I think I prefer "Maggot Brain" (the album, not the bonus EP song) to this one. "THINK -- THINK -- THINK -- IT AIN'T ILLEGAL YET"
This only took off for me with "Cholly" which I didn't realize was the album's last track because I was listening to the EP, and the next two songs, with Cholly, were the best part. Not their greatest but they've got the funk.
If you don't like this album, you're a doo doo chaser!
Peak funkiness, they are the masters of this sound and style
I loved, it’s perfect, it is exactly what I need
Wow! That was fantastic. I'd only heard greatest hits compilations of Funkadelic before but this album completely took me on a trip away from the grey evening here while I endure another bout of covid. I'll be buying a vinyl copy of the album for myself this week. Magical.
Actually couldn’t find on any streaming platform so gave it a default 3
One Nation Under a Groove is packed with groove, personality, and that unmistakable Funkadelic spirit, but it does not always land evenly. The title track is an undeniable classic, a joyful, infectious anthem that captures everything great about funk in under six minutes. “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?!” brings in the heavier edge with plenty of bite, and “Groovallegiance” keeps the flow loose and playful. Outside of the highlights, though, some of the jams feel a bit stretched, more about the vibe than the songwriting. The musicianship is never in question — the basslines are tight, the guitars sparkle and snarl, and the vocals bring both humor and attitude — but not every track sticks once the album’s over. One Nation Under a Groove is fun, funky, and full of energy, but it works better in parts than as a whole.
Put on your sunglasses and get ready to funkify yourself.
10/10 first track, the rest is good but not great
Love me some funk
Good album. As always, incredible bass coming out of funkadelic.
The album is no longer on Spotify. Listened to the title song though
Highlight Song/s: Groovallegiance Really solid, not much to say. But solid grooves, solid bass and amazing guitar lines. I found this a lot more tolerable than Mothership Connection, yes its by Parliament, similar enough to me. Mothership was completely un-listenable after the halfway point due to it being insanely repetitive. This was not. Here's hoping Maggot Brain is good.
Ótimos momentos de guitarras (o melhor do disco) nas faixas finais, a partir de "Lunchmeataphobia (Think! It Ain't Illegal Yet!)" - na versão do YouTube que está diferente do álbum original - salvam o disco de seu tom confuso. Estas faixas são realmente incríveis!
Way back on Day 8 of this project I generated Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and it blew my mind, the title track literally gave me goosebumps. I had actually forgotten they had another album on the list so I was genuinely excited to see this pop up today and it did not disappoint. This is an absolute BANGER of an album. It’s too early to say if I rate it as highly as Maggot Brain but it’s definitely going to be close. Top Track - Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?
The source.
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.
Album is not streaming
I pledge allegiance, to the funk
Couldn't listen to it via streaming. But sure I would've loved it.
I funks with it
S’good!
Groovy and funky.
En nyt tiiä kuuluko tässä olla 3 vai 10 biisiä...koska lukee 10 mut näkyy vaan 3. Mutta oli oikein funky. Mielenkiintoinen. Hyväntuulinen. Laadukas.
Not on Spotify? 🤔
Not on spotify
Funky and groovy as hell!Absolute fun and bliss to my ears!RnB/hIP-hoP never was sexier and boogie-r than in this album!Clever underground naming of songs definatelly ads to the loose fun/funk factor and maybe ispired others like Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman album titling? i mean there is a little something for all in this album,see Who says a Funk band can't play Rock which says it all! 4 stars for me for some of the long plays except for the live Maggot Brain take which is one of the best phychedelic rock tracks i've ever heard and never wanted to end but it does with the crowd chanting ''think it ain't illegal yet''prologuing next song!
Clinton and the crew manages to craft a mind melding funk psychedelic landscape as only they do best. A milestone in music that would go onto greatly influence modern hip-hop, rock, and other acts
who says a jazz band can't play funk? funkgroovylatenightvibesandrhythms weird versions on Spotify, will have to pick up on CD. One Nation Under A Groove is undoubtedly one of the best songs of all time. 4.5* but will round up, would happily return at any point.
Not bad but not for me
Interesting
I wish i loved something as much as these guys love funk. A big, sprawling, joyous, filthy, angry, funky oddessy
So much great groove and playing going on! But I don’t like the songs very much at all, unfortunately
Couldn’t find complete album but listened to songs. Not what I perfer
Great funk. Great grooves. I'm all about this!
Not necessary my cup of tea. But nice listening wile working.
A parade of funk. It’s hard not to move sitting at my desk. Gotta get this on YouTube, I'm bummed I can't add these songs to my playlist.. Views (lol): 3 Playlist Candidates: - One Nation Under a Groove - Groovallegiance - Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! - Into You - Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll!)
Couldn't listen because f$ck Spotify, but I know this band slaps. I have to assume a default score of 3 stars
Top tier bass playing of course. Really melodic and very cool considering it had only been an instrument for like 25 years. I really like the extended jams on Groovallegiance and the subversion of the pledge is classic. I am hearing a lot of what I think has inspired other jam bands. Tim from DMB plays a lot like this. Farther in I am hearing where a lot of Kendrick, Childish Gambino, etc are getting some musical ideas. Maybe this is just what 70's funk sounds like? This is definitely not radio-friendly but it's very jammy and vibey and I could see having it on at a party with more musical friends. It sounds very good if not super hi-fi due to the mix and everything having a nice tape-y saturation to it. Maggot Brain and Pink Floyd have a lot in common (with a much better bassline). This is wild! The cocked wah solo thing was everywhere I guess. Overall very cool and I dig it. Probably 4 stars. Not sure what my criteria for a 5 is but I'll find it I'm sure.
Really really good -- for the life of me, I just can't understand why this album wouldn't be included on their discography on Spotify. Always makes these ones harder to listen to and keep track of, but even so, I can tell this is real special. Love me sum funk!
5/5
Nope, not for me.
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.
Die Band heißt Funkadelic und man bekommt genau das was von einer Band erwartet die Funkadelic heißt. 4 Sterne, wenn ich Funk mögen würde. 3 Sterne, da ich Funk nicht mag.
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...
Great. Except maybe the lyrics. That's not what it's about.
~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
The spoken stuff meanders a bit much for my tastes but it's still enjoyable. The more traditional songs are absolutely fantastic.
George Clinton feels extremely underrated, the opening track might be the best single song we've gotten on this project. The rest of the songs are still really good but don't grab me quite the same way. I just love how much is going on in these songs, it's overwhelming in the best possible way. Sweet and sour bowel movements is also an amazing throwaway line lol.
There is a lot of layer of instrumentation and vocals for each song, but they weave together well rather than as an overwhelming wall of sound. And got damn is there some incredible stanky funk guitar
Funkadelic always reminds me of annoying people at student parties in the early 90s. I know the album is doing a lot more than that, but for me there's too much weird context.
It’s no Maggot Brain but FUCK it’s pretty good
Maggot Brain!!!
Me gustó pero siento que perdía el interés y lo volvía a ganar dependiendo de lo que sonaba. No sé si es que hoy estoy con complicaciones de atención o si es el disco. Tendrá una segunda escucha como corresponde próximamente.
This shit's goofy but in a good way. The term "Svengää kuin hirvi" was invented to describe music like this.
They were super high.
Classic hard rock. The live version of Maggot Brain is unbelievable.
Not my style but I still enjoyed.
Music with movement
I could listen to the title track One Nation Under A Groove forever. I think Funkadelic could too that's why they cut it off so abruptly after 7 minutes of ontological funk perfection. That live version of Maggot Brain Insane I wish I could've been around to see Funkadelic in concert.
6/10 does what it says on the tin 9-9-2025
Good
Beautiful funky goodness
Funky !
3.5/5
I have heard Maggot brain before and I really like that song. But other than that, this album was not that good.
Very interesting. The title track absolutely sets you up for a different record. You think it's going to be completely Clinton/Collins glam funk with a dozen hooks per track.. And then it isn't. It feels like it slowly shifts into quite a mature psychedelic rock record. I do love the p-funk, but this is interesting too
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.
This was refreshing. There's so much going on here, so much to take in. I considered giving it a 4, but there's something so unique about this record. It's a 5 for sure
Fun listen.
crazy sounds and a lot of poop jokes in here. gotta love it
Funkadelic are always 5-star
There is so much going on here and I have to tease out the elements I like. I don't connect to the free flowing jams, but when the funk is hard and tight I hop on for the ride.
Well, the group had a good time making this at least, that's abundantly clear.
Крутая группа но сложно слушать на данный момент
I don't think I am a fan of funk :(
Funk is not my cup of tea
Good fun - decent tracks - enjoyed, but not sure I’d revisit
Forgot to listen to this one, but I love every other Funkadelic album I’ve heard, so I’m sure it’s great
Very interesting album, to say the least. Before the rest, i have to say i love Into You a lot. The groove and the vocals, very tasty, very pleasant music. I like how the vocals are used as an instrument at times throughout the album, how they blend with the music. It further strengthens the groove! I like Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll) but i doubt id ever pull it up to listen to it or even listen to it if it came on shuffle. It is a fun little song but it doesnt really stand out The guitar in Lunchmeataphobia is incredible. Thats all. The song after that one which i will not type the name of, is also very nice. I like what theyre doing with the guitar, though im not sure if the guitar is happy to be violated like that. Maggot brain is insane. Damn. 4/5 Songs are lengthy, while that is not a bad thing in and of itself, when its long bits music i dont care for, it gets boring. A lot of songs are funky and creative but they arent anything special. Generally, it was a nice experience and a few songs i did add to my playlist but even those i might skip occaisonally because theyre not really songs id listen to on shuffle, the way i usually listen to music. But still, quite nice album.
Les goooooo you bloody funkadelic! da bini so ghyped gsi dasi sogar uf e chlini recherche-tour gange bin wie dasi doch s ganz album chan lose -> Youtube my savior. Und het sich glohnt. Was gits bessers wie funk? Genau, zwei funk! zwei mal zwei funk für die funkelnde Funkianerinne und Funkianer vo Funkmenistan
Leider nöd würki abdeckt gsi uf schhhhpotify aber han mir direkt bar anderi tracks albe geh, und die hend mi zimli wegputzt. Das album isch eher moderat gsi (resp. Die 3 tracks) Gibi mal leider 3 puntitos, aber ihr chömed namal, Versproche? Ich gib denn mind 4
irgendwie nur 3 lieder uf spotify chönne lose & eis devo isch s'instrumental vom erste gsi die sind aber super gsi – trotzdem hani mer d'müeh aber irgendwie nöd gmacht zum s'album uf youtube oder so lose weni mer d'müeh gmacht hetti wär's wahrschinli four nations under four grooves gsi aber da muessi wohl three nations under three grooves gäh… päch gha
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
I funked everywhere
It was okay to listen to. Had good rhythm.
Funkeh
Funky album. "Maggot brain" is great. 4/5

8/10
Not for me
Gotta love the funk... and I do, but in small doses. This album is definitely a vibe, a great party background mix. They really are great musicians, and they're having a lot of fun. It's just that it can be a bit... much. It's hard to say what songs are best or worst because the album isn't on any streaming service except YouTube. I found the album but no track listing. Finding the listing elsewhere didn't help much because it's often hard to tell when one song starts and another begins. And I didn't have the energy to listen That intently. It's funky, it's cool. I like it. But when am I going to listen to it? Probably never in its entirety. It's exhausting.
Good guitarist but the funk puns are beyond tiring
Favorites: One Nation Under A Groove, Cholly (Funk Getting Ready to Roll!), Maggot Brain I think One Nation Under A Groove is an album that was meant to be listened via a physical copy, hence its lack of availability on streaming services. Unfortunately, I do not own a physical copy of it, so I had to listen on YouTube, which may have taken a bit of enjoyment out of it for me personally (especially since they kept showing me ads mid-song). I also feel like the longer songs, minus the title track and this rendition of Maggot Brain, kinda dragged and didn't do too much in their runtime. A little disappointed, but I'll probably give this another shot someday. 6/10
Eddie hazel's guitar solo
Two 1978 albums in a row. This’s on is certainly more of a vibe album with 6 songs, mostly coming in at around 6 minutes and more. One you can get up and shake your ass to or kick back and groove to. With it's undeniable funk sound, it takes in influence from R&B, soul, and rock, particularly prog rock and its influence can be seen in both rock and rap, especially throughout the 90s. Dr Dre credits the P Funk sound directly on the sounds of his G Funk era. The title track is a classic but personally I love my. Fave track Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! ... although surely this is directly responsible for Lenny Kravitz
Eddie Hazel is not to be denied as a guitarist.
It's unfortunate that it's hard to find this album in streaming as i I really enjoyed its sound
I already love Maggot Brain by Funkadelic, and until now, I've never had the pleasure of listening to One Nation Under A Groove from start to finish. Great funk tracks, and a surprising amount of experimental spoken word, extended instrumentals, and surreal humor. Now I want to watch a documentary about George Clinton.
The guitarwork on this thing is fucking nuts. Fried ice-cream is a reality. I didn't really note much else, I just had a good experience and enjoyed the listen with my brain switched OFF.
