We Are Family

stay timeless glisten sparkle shine sunday morn

Classic Discoey soul....We are family will forever have a place in my heart and mind, after watching Willie Stargell and the Pirates win the World Series....but, beyond that...just not really my cup of tea....

Nice pop soul album, cool to listen to and as amateur of the genre I felt like some upbeat tempo were nice touch. Great hits in the album and good cohésion ! Small 3.5/5

Nile Rogers is a bit of a genius. This is him...Lets Dance by Bowie is him. Like a Virgin is him. Also Chic, early hip-hop, the 80s, Daft Punk. He is a giant of late 20th century music. Anyway 4 massive hits on here that are joyfully stretched in their original form. I just don't know if 70s disco is s bit of a cheap art form. That sounds awfully snobbish. 3.5

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Really catchy riffs, discovered plenty that have been sampled on other works and it was really easy to listen to.

Nothing special, a bit too repetitive but didn't annoy me that much

Lots of classic disco, perfectly satisfying. Captures a mood and an era quite distant from today. Exciting but maybe not 100% for me

Old school funk. Good but probably wouldn’t listen again

Four massive hit singles and a lot of cheese. You can very much hear that this is a Chic album in everything but name. The singles are great, but some of the schmaltz was a bit of a chore to wade through. Lost In Music is the banger here, and almost as good as the version by The Fall. 3.5 stars.

Four killer singles, rather weak elsewhere. This has the Chic fingerprints all over it. Sister Sledge are all about the good times, and not break up ballads. This would have made for a brilliant, brilliant 12" EP. A little too diluted with all the slushy stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyable. First two songs were really cool

-A perfectly fine soul/R&B album. Some nice bass lines throughout -It has the "We Are Family" song

p425. 1979. 3.5 stars. Perfect snapshot of classy late 70s disco, packed with hits and with Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards on top form. Well done of its kind, but as with all disco it outstays its welcome. Not essential listening.

Very cool. Goes on a bit long.

3.5 - Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards sound incredible on guitar and bass. And there are some perennial classic dance hits on this record. But, again, I associate disco music with wedding parties.

A lot of these songs had interesting things going on in them. I just wish some of them were shorter, or that they progressed further. Still, not bad. My favourite songs were He's the Greatest Dancer and We Are Family.

It’s like each individual song is good but they all sound the same and I find the album generally boring. 2.5

Classic sound, but not my jam for a whole album

The sisters sledged this one.

I like

Prefs : He's the Greatest Dancer, Lost In Music, Thinking of You, We Are Family Moins pref: You're a Friend to Me

Not normally my style but I enjoyed it.

Disco

She has a beautiful voice. If I were into disco I'd give this another listen.

Okej, funkigt disco album. Hitsen är faktiskt rätt bra men det finns inte så mycket att gräva sig in i. Många låtar är jävligt vanliga och tråkiga.

It was okay, some iconic tracks but bit formulaic

Better than I expected. The album has a good flow, and can't really argue with good R&B/soul music.

I'm not really into R&B but found this to be a decent album. We Are Family, Lost in Music and He's the Greatest Dancer were the highlights.

Great R&B record, that's been sampled a ton throughout the years. Cool to hear the real thing from front to back.

Weird to hear more of We Are Family other than just the chorus in an advert

i <3 disco

A couple of bops.

What? What? Big Willie Style? Yes! Right off the bat, I'm getting jiggy in my seat. It's like the beat walked right up on stage and slapped me across the face. But those are some brave rhymes - disco ~ Frisco, dance ~ trance, conceit ~ complete, still ~ kill. Still, disco of this sort makes me think of that scene in The Jerk with Steve Martin, or maybe that one time I actually watched Studio 54 - a creepy, over-sexualized meat market that would never fly today (at least not this overtly) - and you know there were some serious penicillin prescriptions floating around those clubs. The same vibe pretty much continues - "we're lost in music, caught in a trap, never turning back". It's probably the twirling brown-tinted disco lights combined with the ecstasy and the syphilis. But then - "we are family"! One of the mainstays of 70s nights at the local dance club back in the 90s, it brought everyone to the dancefloor like the Derry Girls during Rock the Boat (if you know, you know). On a side note, I wonder if they have "early aughts" nights at the club now, where everyone gets dressed up like Destiny's Child and complains about Nickleback? But I digress...The rest of the album was pretty forgettable, but bonus points for sampling Will Smith in the opening number (oh, wait...)

We are family obviously a banger and I really liked he’s the greatest dancer All around super groovy, bass is sick throughout

Good vibes Overall.

sister sledge - we are family 1979 - disco r&b album that you’ll definitely recognize some songs from even if you dont think you know them fav - somebody loves me - super vulnerable and delicate vocal performance that sells the emotion of the song - great string part halfway through - 10/10 song least fav - we are family - by far the cheesiest and most dated song on here - also doesnt have the same fantastic lead vocals as most other songs on here

Finally got to know who is behind this timeless hit :p All songs sound like the famous we are family

Funky. Well produced. A little boring

good

Fine.

Disco estándar, We Are Family es la más conocida por mucho. Nada muy sorprendente sin ser necesariamente malo.

I thought it was fun to listen to the birth of a million samples! The greatest dancer and we are family are bops, forever and always. I really liked easier time love, and somebody loves me was so painfully sad.

loving the vibe love the fun sounds to reminisce about we are family and the other songs were fun as well.

2 strong childhood memories associated with the legendary title track: 1 - dad driving me and friends to my summer birthday party with at least 2-3 times the legal limit of 9 year olds literally crammed into the station wagon, all of us having the time of our lives belting out this song (which was the summer hit and on the radio every 15 minutes) 2 - Willie Stargell Check out the bass on this album (Bernard Edwards - RIP) - especially on the title track and "Thinking Of You" - an album highlight. Very VERY 1979. That could hit different ways depending on your view or mood but I for one could almost always go for homemade cake, wiffle ball, hide and seek, a classic World Series, and fun singalongs that remind me of it all. 6/10 3 stars.

landmark recognizable disco-funk chock-full of samples. Definitely a vibe, but maybe not for a whole album. 3.5/5

Pretty good stuff

Funksticles

first listen funky and dancy

I can clearly see why some [many] of the tracks here have become classics, even if this type of music isn't my regular cup of coffee. Nice detour from the usual!

Definitely carried by Nile Rodgers; the backing tracks mostly groove with that guitar, and the rest of the band too, but the songs themselves are mostly just "pretty alright." The album definitely loses any of its steam in the ballads, unfortunately.

What the hell dude, I just had a Chic album two days ago. No one man should have all that disco. I'm gonna get disco poisoning. It's disco all right. I don't think they intended this to be played while driving a car but it's funky enough to be enjoyable background music. Nothing mind-blowing though.

En håndfuld vanvittigt stærke sange; særligt Dancer, Lost in Music, titelnummeret og Easier to Love. De taber mig med Somebody og One More Time, der simpelthen ikke er stærke nok. Ikke nok til at ødelægge oplevelsen fra Rodgers guitar, dog. 3,5

Some real hits that last to this day.

Funky, but kinda samey

catchy beat. some great tracks but only a few I would come back to. one of those albums u know is good but ur not crazy about.

Disco, but really good disco

Not a fan of disco

Olin kauhuissani että ei vittu ihan kauheeta. En edes muistanut kuinka hittipainoitteinen tää on. Aika peruskauraa sinkkujen osalta mun vinyylikeikoilla. Toki samalla siirappista mut jotenki toimii. 3/5

Hyvä fiilis ja hitit toimii. Etenkin Greatest Dancer rullaa kyllä niin kivasti vuodesta toiseen. Ehkä muita kohokohtia liian vähän, että antaisin nelosta. 3,5/5.

Pas trop ma tasse de teh

on commence un peu à s'ennuyer

3’8 Kinda chill. Perfect for october evenings close but near to rain.

Disco is the best. 5 Maybe just a 4 Maybe a 3. Those remixes were really boring.

Solid first album. Wasn’t what I was expecting but a decent change up. Excited for the next one.

Solid disco groove

I like Nile Rogers, but endless variations of his disco guitar riff become a little tiresome after a while. The songs are all nice enough, but a couple go on as if they were 12" singles - fine if I want to listen to an extended version but such things do not belong on a standard album in my opinion. There is a little variety, so it's not all disco, and it's like a Chic album only better. Those overly long songs, though, have made it a three-star rather than four-star album.

Mjög næs, kemur á óvart hvað ég fílaði rólegu lögin vel líka.

Skemntileg

alright and funky

Some classics. Firmly catagorised as 'not bad'.

So good individually, but put all these great songs on one album and after about twenty minutes you start vomiting.

This was fine "somebody loves me" is a pretty song

Very good album as a whole. First two tracks were enjoyable to listen to- the title track might be a little over-saturated in standard radio/commercial play, but it's still a great song. There were some slow points in the middle in the end, but overall still liked it - solid 3.5/5. Nile Rodgers' influence is also strong throughout.

It starts so so well but there's some absolute shit near the end. I also hate Spotify adding on remixes and bonus tracks

Another disco classic. Everyone knows that disco is at it's best when it's fun, light, and easy. For that reason, I can't really care for the slower ballads because they end up losing the momentum of the album. Nile Rodgers is an obvious name to shoutout given his track record, but listen for Bernard Edwards on bass as well. He lays down the best grooves and has a track record that is just as storied as Rodgers'. Anyway, pretty good! This is the sorta stuff that would inspire all-time great such as Daft Punk so I'll pay my respects.

Not bad but also won’t search it out.

Not bad We Are Family is a fabulous song and elevates this album to classic status but the rest of the album is pretty mundane and strictly follows the formula. The formula is good though... so there's that 3.5 🌟

Banger after banger on this one. Not the sort of music I'd usually choose to listen to, but this is good.

3.25

Solid late-70s disco, and We Are Family is iconic. As with a lot of disco, it can get a little same-y throught the album, but still a fun listen.

An important album for Disco- and dance lovers. Whether this also applies only to listening, I am not sure. (5/10) FT: We are Family, Lost in Music

Som jag skrev när jag fick Chic:s album Risqué får några månader sedan - jag har inte trott att amerikansk 70-tals-disco är något för mig. Men, nu är jag åtminstone motbevisad i två fall. Disco är BAS, har jag lärt mig, och när basslingorna går igång har jag svårt att inte ryckas med. Inte konstigt kanske att detta album är skrivet och producerat av Nile Rodgers och Bernard Edwards från - just precis - Chic. Det är svängigt, det är groovigt, jag svänger hänger groovar med. Speciellt i Thinking of You - är du inte medryckt redan i öppningsriffet så kan jag inte hjälpa dig. Hitmässigt är titelspåret i ärlighetens namn sådär. Desto bättre är He's the Greatest Dancer. De lugnare spåren, som Somebody Loves Me och You're a Friend to Me, kommer inte riktigt upp i samma nivå som de snabbare låtarna. Men, de skulle nog passa fint spelandes i bakgrunden på en fin, trädoftande restaurang, när ni beställer in er andra flaska vin. Bästa låt: Thinking of You.

Pretty good album. Easy to get people up and dancing to a couple of these songs. As for listening alone, it does drag on a bit.

This is basically heavier porno music with words. I mean, it's fine, but let's call it what it is.

Niet direct mijn genre, maar was wel een leuk

3.5/5 nice disco sounds, I'll have to relisten

Quality factory output but not particularly inspiring.

Mag ja diesen zum Loop erstarrten, materialistischen Disco-Funk gar nicht, aber die klaren Gitarren, die später Daft Punk zum Welthit „Get Lucky“ verhelfen sollten, der wirklich wundervolle Gesang , der nie zu divenhaft schreckschraubig sondern vielmehr wohltemperiert durch die Manege wabert und diese elegant-harmonische Produktion, die vor allem in „Lost in Music“ fein zu Tage tritt, hat dann doch ganz gut den alten Funk Hater gezähmt. Fiorucci gibt mehr als 3.3

Kann man sehr gut hören!

Funky, fun album. Good vibes, performances are great!

Nunca me ha emocionado la canción We are family. Pero bueno, cantan muy bien. 3

Alright

1979 - Disco intro. Classic disco sound. Great crisp vocals, smooth, calming effect. Some pop tones and lyrics, but its funk drive makes it very listenable. Nothing outstanding either. Many song are somewhat forgettable.

good upbeat zone out. maybe for cooking

Decent album. One well known song. It definitely had a 70s vibe to it.

Funky and fun. Their influence is apparent from the first second of the first track. Greatest Dancer is sampled in Will Smith's Gittin' Jiggy Wit' It, and the rest is history. The Disco genre is tricky. It blew up and then died a miserable death, but what Sister Sledge does is not lean too far into it. The Bee Gees did a similar thing, but maybe occasionally let the disco define them, which hurt them. This stands a little more apart. The title track is definitely the crown Jewell, and that song is timeless.

The songs each drag on a bit too long and follow the same tempo more or less. It’s not a bad disco album, and having a hit like We Are Family definitely helps as well as a good run time. I think the lack of an even bigger song or two is what keeps it from being great.

Decent but nothing special, songs all sound very similar

En dan vraagt de band zich af waarom ik zo'n goede danser ben...

Die eerste paar nummers zijn wel echt hoe disco zou moeten klinken! Helemaal goed, maar daarna valt het steeds meer in elkaar. Dikke voldoende toch wel voor de gezusters!

Sterk begin, maar het zakte een beetje in.

groovy funk, but gets a bit samey as the song continues

Great - but maybe faded glory because everything is so familiar? A lot of absolute classics.

The list of personnel involved with this album is studded with legends. A fine album if disco is your bag. What about the rest of us though?

I didn't note anything so much special about it, but I can get a lot of samples that were got from this album to create great modern hip-hop songs, so I got how much it influences modern songs, reason that I think that justifies the presence of the album in this list. For the album itself, it was a nice experience, but just it.

Está bien, es historia de la música popular. Solo por We are family ya merece un respeto. Ojo también He's the greatest dancer, de donde sacó un sample Will Smith para uno de sus éxitos. Le doy 3 estrellas solo por esos dos temas.

Good times. The Sledge Sisters kick it off with a song dedicated to Matt (He's the Greatest Dancer) and keep the floor at a light simmer for the whole album. I love the positive family and friendship vibes throughout - it's hard to pull off so much joy without seeming corny or blind. We Are Family I can't feel anymore since the it was covered countless times by 90s/2000s TRL diva ensembles at award shows, but that's not the Sledge's fault. Good times B+

After hearing the Daft Punk influence I looked it up and realized this is a Niles Rogers album, which doesn’t surprise me given that funky Niles Rogers strumming throughout. Wondering if this is the first album with the Niles Rogers sound? The singing on this album has a very distinct sound, I think it’s the vocal harmonies from the chorus style sound, very enigmatic. This is a tight album, sounds good. A little one note. I was leaning 4 but by the end I shifted to 3. PS They should get credit for gettin’ jiffy wit it.

I was surprised that I liked this album as much as I did. Positive, catchy songs and great R&B guitar grooves. Probably won't listen to it again but I enjoyed it. 3 stars.

Buen disco disco. Agradable

A good album that evokes some honest emotion, but a little repetitive. Of course I love the standout single, but the rest of it sort of faded into the background for me.

47. Já viste a maneira como ele olha para ti parece saído dos filmes, hum talvez, como assim vai lá, ele que cá venha, nem sempre temos de esperar pelo primeiro passo isso era nos sessenta, eu espero e sempre alcanço, é por isso que ainda, ainda o quê, estás assim, assim como, amargurada ociosa laissez-faire, olhou outra vez, está a fazer sinal, pois está, precisas de mais provas, ele que venha, mas que raio quando eras mais nova até podiam acenar com uma garrafa de vidro com xxxx e até parecias uma dançarina do bolshoi tu de todas as pessoas, não te fica bem falar dos meus tempos hedonistas, que quer isso dizer, onde estavas, ao teu lado, não me lembro, imagino, hum talvez, ele vem aí parabéns conseguiste, que tal estou, linda e sólida como as rocky mountains, este ano não foi gentil para os incêndios vamos dançar, prefiro que a dança venha até mim, e veio, hum talvez MotA: He's The Greatest Dancer "Oh, what, wow / He's the greatest dancer"

Best dancer 🕺🏼

3

I only knew We are Family the song before this. The rest of the album has some solid disco tracks but nothing else as memorable as the title track.

An all time classic anthemic song in We are Family. I don't think I've been to a wedding without this song playing! The whole album is very disco pop and familiar sounding. Best: We are Family, Thinking of you. Worst: Somebody Loves Me 3.5 Stars

While not exactly an *original* concept, the fact the title track here has been adopted by the Campbell clan at any and all gatherings with a DJ gives this album a minimum of 3 stars. I'd really like to give it a 3.5. The fact that the next day I can only remember the title track and the one that Gettin' Jiggy Wit It ripped off... err I mean sampled... means it falls to the 3 star side. Enjoyable listen though!

This album is most well known for the song "We Are Family," but the entire album has a similar vibe/tune. This R&B/disco music is great to put on in the background of a cocktail party, or really during any time that some chill, but groovy music is needed.

.

This was a fun listen

Excellent Funk & Soul record. "He's the greatest Dancer" and "We are Family" top tracks

Um álbum agradável de se ouvir, nunca pensei ouvir o álbum do we are family mas ouvi e não foi mau, não é algo que vá voltar a ouvir mas é bom. Nota:5/10

Fun disco

This is a great listen, very nostalgic, fantastic production values, lots of familiar songs that are well known for good reason. I liked it.

Levyn alkutahdit lähtivät niin kivasti, että täähän voikin olla yllättävän kovaa diskojytää. Valitettavasti lento jäi kuitenkin lyhyeksi ja edes We Are Family -hitti ei riittänyt nostamaan levyä kolmosen yläpuolelle. R&B fiilistely ei oikein tahdo upota.

My score is pretty much entirely based on strong legacy, songwriting, superb musical proficiency and an interesting sampling history. Mad respect for this, although it's a bit too slushy and cheesy for my personal tastes. 7/10

1 well known song, nothing else really caught our ears.

Starts off solid, the hits are there, then the album filler is rehashed hits

Nice old disco music

I liked some of the songs, though they weren't my style. "He's the greatest dancer" is pretty catchy.

meh

Disco setenetero estándar. Sin hits, pero solvente.

Disco, R & B. Soul. Funk. No está mal. Bastante movido.

I get it. A little repetitive.

Too Jazzy and upbeat

Paar gute Grooves aber insgesamt eher langweilig.

The hits are: - "He's the greatest dancer" - "Lost in music" - "Thinking of you" - "We are family" But there were some others later in the album that I enjoyed as well. It was a fun listen for sure. It's happy music.

Welcome back to Disco! It seems sweet and light... like cotton candy. Nothing controversial...

Never listened to that album. Know Sister Sledge for "We Are Family" song. Top track: We Are Familiy.

Oh baby the album starts with that lick they used for Gettin Jiggy Wit It, now I know where it comes from! Of course "We Are Family" is a classic but I did not know who the artist was. This is really eye opening for me. Some of the songs and themes are just way too feel good earnest to even be enjoyable. Glad I heard this but probably won't seek it out in the future.

Overall the album is good. Not all the songs are hits for sure but I didn’t hate my life. I enjoyed the upbeat positive experience

I didn’t know they did Jiggy

First few songs are great but wasn’t into the rest

Some good songs some are just a bit slow and boring though

Funkayyyyy Discoooo. First track is quite nice. Then it sort of went downhill for me. Not bad at all, just not my thing. I feel like a broken record with that phrase.

2.5 rounded up. Kinda boring.

Favorites: He's the Greatest Dancer, We Are Family, Lost in Music, Thinking of You, Easier to Love, One More Time Primarily a back up band, Sister Sledge made a name for themselves with this album. Produced and written by the legendary Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic. There was surprisingly little to no collaboration between Chic and the sisters in the creation of the songs. Nile Rodgers has said it is the best LP he has produced. 'We are Family' track was recorded in one take, with Kathy Sledge not knowing the lyrics ahead of time. Nile Rodgers would feed her one line at a time through headphones to make it sound spontaneous.

Familiarity: 3/10 Notes: Classic Disco sound, unfortunately not a sound I can take a whole lot of. Slogged through it, begrudgingly. True Rating: 6/10

funky and groovy. better than I expected knowing the famous song on the album.

I really enjoyed the album. However, I'm never a fan of a bunch of remixes in the album. 1/3 of the album was remixes, which is pretty lame.

Didn’t realise that all of sister sledges hits were on one album!

Classic girl group sound, funny song about how well a guy in the club is dancing and a good one about love.

couple good listens, the song we are family is a classic

3.5 . Some solid tunes on this album. Funky goodness on a monday

This is a great listen, very nostalgic, fantastic production values, lots of familiar songs that are well known for good reason. I liked it.

Good vibes, will probaby try to listen while I have sexy time.

This is another album that I think is generally good, but I don't understand why it's on this list. It's a disco album, so far as I can tell it's not a groundbreaking disco album. It has some big hits on it, but I'm left wondering why I should listen to this album in particular out of the disco genre. Not a fault of this album, more of an issue with the list itself 3/5

Title track bangs obviously and it's a dang classic u know. Nice to have heard the whole album the song is from, nice funky vibes. Chill, easy listen for some upbeat good tunes.

Menevät biisit toimii kympillä ja ilman slowareita levy olis jopa erinomainen

Disco, pop-RnB, vokal, dansemusik, hits

Top notch strings. I had never heard of the Chic-Sledge connection, but it makes sense now. Many vocals are strong, but outside those highlights it lacks energy.

Not for me

2.5

Música pra dançar, pra festa. Como disco, porém, irregular. Algumas músicas são longas demais para audição, ainda que ideais para ficar numa pista de dança. Não por acaso a mais curta do disco se tornou mais do que conhecida, icônica (We Are Family).

Vocals are unnaturally loud sometimes. Its kind of the same song seven times in a row with "we are family" sticking out in the middle. Its not bad but it didn't really click with me.I’m looking forward to listening to more disco/rnb stuff though.

I get it, for some people, but not for me. I also don't like albums that have multiple remixes of the popular songs. I realize that this was not likely in the original but are the remastered and updated releases which are the ones streaming but it’s enough.

It's OK to hear a Sister Sledge song on the radio every now and then but a whole album is far too much for me.

Forgettable but easy to listen to at least

I’m not a giant fan of disco. I like the ability to rap along but all just starts to sound the same. This was no different albeit with great voices.

Jamais écouté avant. Un album 100 % disco, porté plus par les contributions de Nile Rodgers à la guitare et de Bernard Edwards à la basse que par les voix assez standard des quatre sœurs Sledge. Alors oui, c'est fun,, ça donne envie de bouger son popotin en rythme, mais à écouter, en dehors de quelques morceaux qui surnagent un peu pour la qualité d'une mélodie ou le groove d'une ligne de basse, il n'y a rien de fascinant à aller gratter en dessous de la boule à facettes. Pas d'émotion particulière, pas de tentative d'expérimentation novatrice, pas de surprise virtuose ou de texte particulièrement brillant... De la danse, et c'est tout. C'était l'objectif, tant mieux, mais ça n'en fait pas à un album particulièrement intéressant... Top : Lost in Music Flop : Somebody Loves Me

good

7 tracks were exactly the same, the eighth a boring ballad. I'm not a fan of the disco sound. The strings are cool, yes, but can't elevate the album singlehandedly. 2/5 - below average

The instrumentation is good enough, and I even liked the vocals from a technical level. But the lyrics and general vibe of the album are so milquetoast that I just completely couldn't get into it. Considering this was a world that already had experimental and interesting songwriting from people like Dylan and Joni Mitchell, I'm left wondering how much the commercial expectations placed on mainstream R&B and soul at the time shaped what kind of music actually made it to a record like this. I've noticed similar restraint in some other Black popular music from the period, which is a shame because the instrumentation and vocal performances here are good enough that I wish the songwriting had taken more risks.

Not all bangers but the vocals are really immaculate!

Didnt think there was much to this

Not my cup of coffee, but it’s not like it’s bad.

Absolutely not my cup of tea

669/1001 2026.07.30 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

Decent disco album, but not much sticks with you once it has ended. I don’t think I’d ever go back to this one again

Fun album to listen to, just not quite my speed. Didn't realize the ‘We Are Family’ song was them, so that was kind of fun.

- I would expect myself to be primed for these, but unfortunately I found 90% of the tracks to be pretty boring. - Lead vocals are always solid, but the backing vocals are fairly basic (nice harmonies but nothing overly complex) and the sheer amount of repetition with the length of the tracks was probably good for the disco dance floor but does not make for the best listening. - Yes, I feel rude.

Opening track had me (millennial) do a significant double take. Thought I had somehow picked the wrong artist/album/decade. It's a fine set of songs, but not one I care for much. The title track is ubiquitous, but also repetitive. The rest of the songs are well done, but I don't care for disco.

While the first track kind of suprised me after I read who the band was, the album became pretty boring soon after. Neither the music nor the vocals are somewhat interesting, it just seems bland without much depth. It may be a decent album for background music, but for anything more, it just lacks substance.

giving this a 2 listening to it in a drab office building and a 4 on the dance floor. god im depressed.

Not bad. Not quite my style though. Was really neat to hear where the "Jiggy with it" sample came from though!

I cannot be bullied by the nice reviews into giving this anything higher than a 2!!

The songs are repetitive, but alright. I'm sure it would be good for disco, but not a fan of just listening to it.

He's the greatest dancer - 3 Lost in music - 3 Somebody loves me - 2 Thinking of you - 2 We are family - 4 Easier to love - 2 You're a friend to me - 2 One more time - 2

Listened to the first three songs. Wasn't enjoying it too much

Gute Intro-Songs für thematisch passende Fernsehsendungen. Nichts für meinen Plattenspieler.

2.1 1x not bad but not my jam

Not very great, nothing that stands out

I don't particularly care for disco but this has a little more funk to it. As much as I like the touch of funk it's still disco therefore boring. I mean disco music is meant for dancing so being repetitive is in it's nature. Also because of the repetitiveness the songs seem extra extra long. It really feels like there are two hit songs on this album and the rest is filler.

Title track is a classic. That's about all I've gotta say about that

I know the title track because it was the "theme song" for the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. Speaking of baseball, I would imagine a copy or two of this nonsense was destroyed during Disco Demolition night at Comisky Park. Disco Sucks. It always has, it always will. I've got a t-shirt that says so. It's catchy, but not good. Neither is anything else. 2 stars, one for the nostalgia.

Maybe innovative and certainly not bad to listen to, but not my thing.

Not for me!

Love this, the singles, particularly “Thinking of You” are amazing. Top of the two stars. Tom.

Aside from ‘We are Family’ and ‘He’s the Greatest Dancer’, the album is mostly forgettable.

Wanted to like it more than I did - not my favorite

Not style of music I enjoy. Some very nice instrumentation and production and a couple of well known tracks.

Another perfectly produced Nile Rodgers record that sounds completely sterile and dead. There are a few good melodies, of course, but pretty much every song drags on WAY too long for the amount of ideas it contains, they just go on and on and on...

I dont get why I'm listening to this- oh they sing we are family. That made the album worth putting in the top 1000 right 2

We are family...the end. Well, okay, Good for you. Great song with a lot of disco repetition. I was around in those days. I didn't like it then (except for the family song, which is undeniably great...in the single version: short/sweet). 2 "for the family" stars.

Es algo que no escucharía en en ninguna situación pero igualmente le rescato cositas.

I don’t mind disco but this was pretty sappy and definitely too slow for for dancing

Ok, but not really my thing. Theres something here that I just don’t personally like, but it’s hard to put a finger on.

Meh

It wasn’t bad, just really mid. No songs stuck out to me and to be honest it was like listening to the same song over and over 8 times. Overall, I would give this a 2.6/5!

172/1001 First listen. I can get into disco but it’s gonna need to be a compilation of the best. An album of this is a bit off the mark and just too much for me. 4/10

The

que disco más rico. te invita a enamorarte a lo peligroso (o a copular, lo primero que pase). poco más que agregar más allá de la linda interpretación de este conjunto y lo variado de los ritmos que manejan en un mismo genero musical.

Buen album pero no es el estilo que mas me gusta por eso no le di tantas estrellas.

2.5/3 - I can't tell if I was just not in the mood for disco today, or if this album just wasn't my jam. While it has some fantastic tracks, We are Family, He's the Greatest Dancer being standouts, this one just wasn't pulling on my ear.

A little draggy outside of the singles which is fine - sometimes an artist’s best album is their greatest hits.

Garbage disco.

I'm not a disco fan but I found this acceptable for a while.

There are a few funky grooves that are fun but nothing about this recording raises it above the level of typical disco fare. The title track is certainly in contention for most prototypical disco song in pop culture. If you wanna indicate that something is 70’s disco, it’s a go-to song. The lyrics on the whole album are childish and totally meaningless or at least unimportant. I seldom if ever in a disco mood so it’s a pass for me.

Some fun bass lines and funky rhythm guitar. Unfortunately, this is a disco album and it sounds like one. If you’re into that, you might like this album.

Okay

It's a good one, but not for me

Really didn’t expect to start with the riff from getting jiggy with it. This was pretty good and over in a flash, which was disappointing.

It's not a terrible album by any means, but not particularly memorable either.

Not my jam

(38/100)

Some good vibes and some decent songs. Kinda bored after awhile.

not my thing

eh... već nakon tri minute prve pjesme postane zamorno. previše se ponavlja sve, ne znam, nije za mene

Once you ignore "We Are Family" the album is pretty not too bad.

Me gustó el Groove y el bajo. No me pareció una maravilla en su conjunto pero estuvo bueno

Not my genre

Muy disco y retro, no sé si es mucho mi onda.

Did you know "We Are Family" was nearly 9 minutes long? I sure didn't. The wonders of radio edits. This one didn't grab me too much, to be honest. I really enjoyed "He's the Greatest Dancer" and how one the song "ended" there was just another 4 minutes of solid jamming to follow. To be fair, I did start rapping "Gettin' Jiggy Wit' It" a bit during that part. The rest of it...eh? Much of it was slower or mid-tempo, and just didn't grab me. The last 5 minutes of "We Are Family" was a far less interesting jam than "Dancer" was. Fair, but not great.

If I was rating purely objectively this would probably get another star, as it's objectively "not bad" music, but I just find disco/Motown/funk etc deeply unenjoyable. Too upbeat, happy, exuberant...and who wants that from music?? Also this feels a bit pedestrian even as far as disco goes. "Somebody Loves Me" and "You're a Friend to Me" are absolute drivel, and the album just doesn't seem to have as many hooks as I'd expect from top-tier disco. 2 stars is a fair average of an objective (3-star) and subjective (1-star) rating I think

One good song (extended version ftw). Great instrumentation though.

File this one under: nails what it aims for, but just not for me at all

ouais fun (bien pour maintenir un rythme de marche rapide et régulier)

I've never been interested in Sister Sledge beyond their massive hit, "We Are Family." After listening this album, I'm not encouraged to extend myself. I like disco, probably better than the next person. I find the music fun. This album was just okay.

Tracks sind 7 min lang fühlen sich aber an wie 20 min. Könnte ich mir als Teil eines Soundtracks vorstellen im Hintergrund einer Barszene gut vorstellen.

Title track bops but the rest falls flat. Product of the times but there's not enough here to warrant a spot on this list.

Had some nice grooves 2.5

A bit too cheesy for my taste

Coming in, I thought I would only know one song from that album. I was right! Overall some groovy songs, some lengths, but nothing to write home about.

Title track is good. Lost in music was ok. The rest of the album could have been the same song. It would be inoffensive in the background, but I wouldn’t put this on.

This was a boring exercise in persistence for me. There is one good song that is famous for a reason. The rest were too repetitive and dragged on too long. Disappointing because I generally enjoy this genre.

The opener was great and the title track is iconic but has lost its effect after being played into the ground over the years. Classic disco but I just get so bored. Thanks to one of the top reviewers for explaining that disco is about having fun. No shit and the gall to say that like it is enlightening. So patronizing Rating: 2.4

how interesting can 5 remixes of the same song be dude

Clean, clear vision from Bernard and Nile. Disco was once maligned, (guilty) but it has its place, and Nile is a master. That being said, it is a bit one note, and was pretty well trod territory by this time.

Couple of memorable songs

Disco! For a whole album?? I remember dancing to "We Are Family", but never played the whole album. The songs are very repetitive, little content. Hmm, that guitar, is it Nile Rodgers? Why yes it is! But then - reading Wikipedia makes me wonder, should this really be known as a Sister Sledge album, or what?? Wikipedia says "Edwards and Rodgers would only show the songs to Sister Sledge once the sisters were in front of the studio microphones." - eeeeuuuuwwww!!!!! I wonder how the sisters felt about that! Makes the album seem like product just for the sake of $$. I rate it Poor (3/10).

Edwards/Rodgers are badass, but this album is too disco for me.

I mean, We Are Family is a good track, but this just isn't my style.

A decent 70s sound, production, songwriting, and singing. A fine album with some big hits from the time. Not the biggest fan of the whole thing, though, with some okay tracks in it. 200th album generated.

habe zu "natty dread" vergessen review: war samstag 10.01.2026 auch im Wohnzimmer meiner Eltern und Abends im alten Zimmer meiner Schwester zu diesem: Samstag/Sonntag 10/11.01.2026 Im alten Bett meiner Schwester und Wohnzimmer meiner Eltern

We were. Unfortunately, my entire family is dead.

День пятый We Are Family Sister Sledge 1979 Сегодня мало о музыке и немного об ощущениях. Приступая к практике прослушивания музыки из такого списка (а это, напомню, компиляция из чуть больше чем тысячи альбомов), я знал, что здесь могут быть вещи, которые мне не понравятся, но, тем не менее, плохими они не будут. И сегодня как раз такой случай. We Are Family -- это очень приятный и нежный соул из семидесятых. Там есть хорошие песни, вроде открывающих He's the Greatest Dancer и We Are Family. Есть красивые девушки на обложке, собственно сёстры Следж, одна из которых немного поволновала моё сердце своим сходством с Пэм Гриер, звездой blaxplotation и тарантиновского "Джеки Браун", и... всё? Я не знаю. Я хочу верить, что альбом хороший, я прослушал его вчера дважды, но не смо ни за что зацепиться. Если вчерашний Канье мне давался сложно из-за необходимости уделить ему внимание, то здесь я будто пытался погладить воду. Приятно, но ощущения описать не можешь, и оттого повторить не тянет. Итого 2 из 5. Лучше послушайте кантри.

I like the aesthetic as a whole, but I wouldn’t listen to it on a playlist. I’m looking for more mellow or sparkly

Nile Rodgers usually doesn't miss, but disco just isn't for me. While the A-side delivers the bangers, the second half gets tiring pretty quickly.

the only noteworthy track is the very first one

Alas, more disco than soul or funk. I did like those ‘79 Pirates, though!

All the bar mitzvahs

Low rating only because I'm not a fan of disco. I find the rhythm driving but monotonous. First songs all bled together in my mind on first listen. “We Are Family” is iconic and though not my taste in music, it has a deep nostalgia that you can’t help but dance around to. Truly the Sledge Sisters are talented vocalists. Kathy’s vocals in particular are so warm and mesmerizing. The band was playing in the pocket.

Very close to a 1 but it's not actually bad enough

Типичнейшее диско. Лучшая песня: You`re a Friend to Me

Not my thing at all. "We Are Family" is fine I guess

I thought this was going to be a fun album since I knew and enjoyed We Are Family, but it turns out this is not for me at all.

I feel like I should have enjoyed this more

This is usually my genre but I just didn't get into this one. It might be the disco part of it that's throwing me of - I usually love everything soul and funk, but this feels like a dance album over everything else.

Sleek production can't save repetitive, droning sludge. The guitar tone is nice, though near identical on each track, and the solo vocals are great. There's something I really dislike about the harmonies I can't put my finger on. (2/5)

asansör müziği gibi. favori şarkım You're a Friend to Me oldu

how is this mainstream breakthrough disco bruh

it’s fine.

This is a classic album for me - for the type of music I don’t like. The main album is just way over produced and clinical. Sounds like a computer controlled drum machine and the vocals ran through Autotune but this was way before those came in to being. Now I did hear Nile Roger’s guitar work which did keep this album from getting a one star plus I actually really enjoyed the “We Are Family" (Steve Anderson DMC Remix). Really sad when the remixes eclipse the originals.

2.5

The title track is a classic, but nothing else did much for me. I was surprised how short the original version of the title track is, where the weaker songs dragged on for much longer.

1. Yeah yeah we have hits... Still same ol', same ol' - with the utmost respect 😇 2. We're lost in music 🎶😭 Bring on number 3 I say! 3. Gentle, friendly, nice production 👍 Could've been a good minute shorter though 4. Funky 70s guitars, add bongo 👍 I like the stereo imaging. But again, a tat too long in playing time... 5. Heeey we know this one too! Repetition is key, again 🙄 Next song, Lord, please... Next!! 6. Did anything happen? I wasn't paying attention. 7. A story about friends, I suppose. Everyone is doing a great job, it's just hard to keep paying attention. You understand? ☺️

Not my cup of tea

Nichts für mich. Für entspannte Abende ecentuell ganz gut

enjoyable but after a while it's repetitive and it doesn't tell me anything

It's not bad music. We are family and Somebody Loves Me are music good to dance to. Well the whole soundtrack is, but it's disco. That's about the only time you would play it.

meh

It was alright. Nothing to write home about

not terrible, but not really interesting to me on a first listen, not my bag

This album was okay, standard disco as far as I can tell. It was cool to see where some songs where some samples were taken from

Nothing against Disco music, but this album contains only one hit (repeated 3 times!) and either bland songs or horrible remixes (... Lost in music) 5/10

No me atrapó del todo pero lindo álbum

The 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. The Orioles blew a 3-1 lead and lost the series to Willie Stargell, Dave Parker and the rest....so, we're off to a not so great start here seeing as I'm an Orioles fan. Obviously familiar with the title track, but the rest just doesn't do anything for me. There are very few disco/dance songs that I like and I didn't find any new ones here. Great guitar from Nile Rodgers, the production is excellent and the sisters have really nice voices. But that's it. Really didn't enjoy listening to it, even though I was just trying to focus on Rodgers' guitar after the first few songs. The thing is, I WANTED to like this and I felt like from a few certain perspectives that I should have...the guitar, the bass lines, some of the beats but I just wasn't into it.

Not my thing but lots of floor filling hits !

Oof... So while I'll agree that there is some damn fine musicianship here, it's still disco. It's very disco. And while there are gems in the genre, by and large disco sucks. Seriously some great playing going on, but... nope.

Album is very long and there are only a few bangers surrounded by filler. 2 stars

Some classics on there but I can only handle so many disco songs in a row.

I’ve heard the song “We are family “ in the past so when I saw this album name I had a feeling it would be here

Good singles here and the groove is great but I did get bored. I also made a mistake of listening to the 1995 version which had three remixses of We Are Family (the song rather than the album). Did not enjoy this one as much as Earth Wind and Fire so giving this a lower rating. Do not feel I have much to say about this one, promise I am not a disco hater just felt eh about this.

Good pop. Not very interesting.

Ehh

One of those true one hit wonders. Made more TV appearances than music deals

The 4 hit singles from this album are classic bangers. The rest aren't too bad. Not the worst album

2/5, more oldies I've heard a million times. listenable but not what im here for. yeah its disco, yeah its okay. I will literally never play it myself

This just wasn't for me. I'm not a huge R&B fan, and disco isn't my jam either. I can appreciate the talent. I would have been unlikely to listen to this on my own, so I enjoyed getting out of my usual taste freeze. However, not something I'd seek out again.

Not bad - very easy listening though; nothing really standout.
