Die Balladen waren mir zu Schmalz, den Rest mochte ich.
Incredible album, all the tracks are excellent, it's a classic. 12/12
Couple of disco centric bangers on this one and the rest of the album also pretty good. Overall an easy album to listen to but doubt I’ll ever get back to it.
2.1 1x not bad but not my jam
This a no-skipper album, imo
excellent 4.5+/5
Feel good pop disco, it’s easy to like. There are also a couple of slow balads, they don’t work for me. Favourites: He’s The Greatest Dancer, Lost In Music, We Are Family
While this was a very popular album, Disco is not my thing. We Are Family is my least favorite song on the album. I am more favorable to those songs that lean toward funk.

3.6
No.
Not very great, nothing that stands out
so nice hearing we are family within the context of the rest of the album, and also this beautiful album cover. loved: he's the greatest dancer + easier to love and especially somebody loves me.
4.1/5
*We are Family is clearly the notable track from this album *Great bass lines on these disco tracks *I've always thought Sister Sledge was a better name for a metal band
Great album - fundamental to disco, some feelings of repeat but generally great Fave songs - Lost in Music, We Are Family
We truly are a family.
It was the very definition of middle-of-the road for me. 2.5 rounded up because I'm not a total bastard.
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.
Smooth but effervescent, peach and tobacco notes, looks like a model 'cept she's got a little more ass.
Several good tracks, but I got a little tired of the style as the album progressed.
Title track is a classic. That's about all I've gotta say about that
Listen on: Spotify (1995 remaster) Listening experience: Protracted First female album of the project! Also first disco album. Really enjoyed listening to it and would put this on again.
Everything Le Chic wanted to be. We open with a couple of banger dance tracks. "He's the greatest dancer" and "lost in music" both bop along and make you groove. Then you get a change of pace in "Somebody loves me" which is slower, but I still found myself lost in the music. And then you get the title.song, which is the best on the album. Didn't expect to like this album as much as I did, but it's terrific!
Awesome album, good vibes!
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.
So groovy smoooooooth, loved it, 4
A mixed bag. Some of the more energetic tracks are really fun. “Thinking Of You” is a pop classic and the opener is pure disco. The title track is cheesy and far too long; the second half of the track is completely redundant and annoying repetitive. The slower ballads are pretty poor and offer nothing except a change of pace. It’s good, but not great. I would listen to the is more than most of the rubbish on this list, but it’s an album of peaks and valleys.
We are Family is on it would you believe. I like that song, the others aren't really my jam that much.
This is very obviously the handiwork of Nile Rodgers which means it's pretty good. Songs you know, songs you recognise from samples. Excellent stuff.
I know the "we are family" song and its an iconic song but the album was also really good I liked it
Eh
Classic. Pretty coo.
We are NOT family. Bitch I don't know you. Fuck outta my face
Kind of boring. Not my vibe.
I'm a huge Nile Rodgers fan. His influence in pop, dance and eventually electronic music is amazing, not to mention Chic's guitar rifs as a base for so many hip-hop samples. Lucky for us, at the height of their creative peak they recorded this album with Sister Sledge where half of the songs are as good and sometimes better than Chic's best songs. We Are Family is just as big as Le Freak and Good Times. Lost in Music is an great great deepish track. There's mostly cringe fame for Greatest Dancer because of Will Smith, but the song is great, one of Chic's best And where do I start with Thinkin of You, one of my favorite songs ever. The groove on this song is, the guitar riff is great, the bass line is unique and sticks with you forever. Shame that the rest of the album suffers the same as other Chic albums, half amazing, half forgetable. I don't know how to rate this album, is it the listenability? Ho consise or essential of an album listening experience it is? There's so much music that it's enjoyed as a set of songs from different artists that flow better than the album it came from, assuming it's ever on an album. If it were on the strength of it's top songs, i'd rate it 5 stars, but it's not so I won't.
Anything involving Nile Rodgers gets at least 4 stars.
🙂
I guess I never realized that the album version of We Are Family was 8 minutes long.
After the last 3 days of albums this was a breath of fresh air. I think the nostalgia of growing up listening to my dad's band play "We Are Family" and loving "Getting Jiggy With It" made me like this album a bit more than I would otherwise.
3 - This is good, just not really something I get Jiggy With.
sunky reference pretty good consistent disco record
Imagine loving music so much you’d quit your 9-5. Now imagine writing a whole song about it. That’s “we love the music”. In fact, there’s quite a lot of meta music about loving music and dance, and people. Sister Sledge- OG lover girls. The majority of the album bounces and funks along in typical 70s ballads and disco modes, but it’s super tight instrumentation that compliments the awesome voice of Kathy sledge. She is a really incredible singer with the perfect voice for this kind of music. Easy to see why it resonated with audiences of the day. Every guitar phrase and fat bass line also sound straight out of a daft punk sample too, groovy baby. Really enjoyed this one, even if they make you earn the eternal hit “we are family” by placing it in the middle of the album ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great album that influenced and was sampled by lots of the rap first generation. The importance of this album that mixes funk with disco in a pop soulish vibe is undeniable
Banger after banger... A clear 5.
Sure, I get the 'disco sucks' stuff - this is when the music industry as commercial, cynically product-focused behemoth really started kicking in - but you know Nile's getting you on the floor (even if it meanders a bit once the hits are through).
MTTTT bom pqppppppp já conhecia we are family de algum lugar..
Best: #5 We are family
Awesome album
Great disco. Need this on vinyl
Great album! Beautiful singing, fun songs and great bass. I think it being short did it well as there wasn't a ton of variety and it did not wear out its welcome.
Every song on this album is amazing. The disco tracks are all so fun, the R&B tracks sound beautiful, and both have immaculate vocals. Each song is banger after banger, but I will say that the front half is a bit better than the back. Favorite Track: We Are Family - An extremely iconic song and easily one of the best disco songs ever. I had to go back and listen to the original full version when I realized the remastered album had the shortened version as its main version.
Funky 70s soul. I can dig it! 3 We Are Family is the song though! 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. I wasn't even alive in 1979 & I know that song & that team are forever intertwined.
Didn’t know Will Smith sampled from ‘em! Absolute banger of an album, got me dancin’
Getting Jiggy with it.
This is fun
First of all, the basslines on this album are UNREASONABLE. It's a rare occurrence that I hear this much funk in one place at one time. These basslines are NASTY. Like gym socks lost under your bed in the corner of your room for months nasty. You can tell Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards played on this. Every song on here is a banger. No Skips, no Meh.'s, just hotness.
Maybe innovative and certainly not bad to listen to, but not my thing.
Gettin jiggy with it.
May 29th, 2026 Standouts: We Are Family, thinking of you, you’re a friend to me
i really enjoyed this album! many of the songs are stable in what i'd categorize as "disco" and i also discovered that one of my favorite techno songs was all but a cover of their "Thinking of You". definitely a pioneer of their times and a still loved/appreciated group!
phenomenal album, every song is basically a hit, you cant help but dance all the time, wish they still had clubs playing this kind of music, love this soul shit, beats never bore you and arent very repetitive and excess sounds compliment the storytelling
Vigtigt disco/funk albums hvor nogle fra chic har skrevet de fleste af numrene med sister sledge som ikke rigtig slog igennem før dette. Men det gjorde de så også hårdt. Kæft der er mange gode tracks på, er specielt helt vild med lost in music. Det har åbenbart også røder i rnb og soul fordi det er mere varmt og ikke så maskinelt. Det handler også meget om sammenhold osv. WE are family blev også brugt som et kulturelt skub med feminisme og homoseksuelles rettigheder. Det bliver udgivet der i 79 hvor discoen og funken var på sidst ypperste og new wave/post punk var ved at komme frem og blive mere radiovenligt. Men new wave var sådan mere "cool" hvor at disco osv dominerende listerne mere.
wanted to like this more than i did :( perfectly Fine disco album
we are family (the song) suffers from extreme overplay in american culture, but i actually really liked the rest of the tracks off of this album especially he’s the greatest dancer and you’re a friend to me. awesome tracks
My first disco album of the challenge. Absolutely loved it! I was bopping around the kitchen, singing along to hit after hit after hit. Five stars.
The title track was a huge part of the soundtrack to my summer of 1979. It was literally EVERYWHERE. That said, I have no idea why this album is on this list. It is pleasant, competent post-disco, elevated somewhat above its contemporary competitors by the presence of Chic’s Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards as producers and composers. Their obvious fingerprints are easily noted throughout this album. So these nice young women had their 15 minutes of fame, and then gradually faded back into relative obscurity in the 80s. Sad note: they seem to have expended a more than a modicum of effort in the 2010s/2020s suing and countersuing each other over rights to the Sister Sledge name/copyright. We are family, indeed.
Ken ik echt totaal niet. Maar als de titel van het nummer is dat ik denk dat het is wordt het disco bonanza. Lost in music: Vet, voelt wat zwaarder dan de meeste disco Thinking of you: He deze ken ik van een setje van laatst. Job Jobse ofzo? Tot nu toe echt nice. Disco heb ik vaak het idee dat ik alleen maar naar hetzelfde nummer luister, dat heb ik binnen dit album zelf ook wel, maar met iets meer nadruk op strings en compositie is het net een andere take. One more time: gitaarsolo in een disconummer wtf Eerste indruk: normaal niet echt een discofan (niet te lang iig), maar dit is met de strings net speciaal genoeg voor een 3
I had fun listening to this. Liked it
1. dancer - 1 2. lozt - 1 3. zomebody - 1 4. thinking - 1 5. family - 1 6. eazier - 1 7. friend - 1 8. time - 1
Well that was fun. Over the years have been led by the generalised view put out by” the disco sucks” thing (white rock critics?) and not really heard a lot, yeah the singles over the years were on radio etc. but always fed the line it was inferior to “ proper” music. That’s on me. What absolute bull shit. This has Chic Edward’s and Rodger’s production, sophisticated arrangements cleverly disguised as danceable infectious grooves. Reading on the “disco sucks” thing and it was more about rock music elitism, prejudice and then the usual corporate bandwagon let’s milk the thing. Not the actual highs of the music. But this is just a good record. Good music.4 Star
Fun and easy to listen to. Great instrumentation. Nile Rodgers on guitar makes anything better. Would listen again for sure
4 star, some cracking tunes on here
Well sung and well produced. I'm not the biggest fan of this genre - it honestly sounds too slick but I can appreciate the craft that went into this.
Fun one time listen
Some excellent disco tunes. Takes me back to when I was 10. Timeless.
Bit of top quality disco.
Cheesy as hell but it’s actually pretty decent. Never listening to it again though.
I never realised how many iconic tracks were jammed together on a single album; for some, I imagine this is disco-incarnate with "He's The Greatest Dancer", "Lost in Music", "Thinking of You", "We Are Family" and "One More Time". This is simply 'feel good music', with groovy basslines, straight drumming and swanky guitars. All the hallmarks of good, fun disco music. That said, which I realise I say a lot, disco generally has a tendency to hit the same beats and notes each time to maintain that upbeat vibe that it's known for; it lacks the variation I often look for. Still, the sheer joy each track brings and work it puts in to keep the party going deserves respect.
Wow I knew every one of these songs. And I never heard about Sister Sledge. That's influence for you.
Oh, no. Disco.
Genuinely enjoyable disco, I can see why this saved their career Playlist add: "Thinking of You"
Been humming all day...
groovin'
Not for me!
Solid, even the tracks I didn't already know.
I really like the sound of "He's the Greatest Dancer," and I could not have said it was Sister Sledge. Of course, the title track is classic disco.
It’s so upbeat and vibey. But would I regret not having heard this album? Probably not
I'm not the biggest fan of disco and I wasn't expecting great things from this. However, while I wouldn't necessarily put this on again I did enjoy it and in part that was because it's female vocal rather then male. Not sure why that makes a difference but it does, so go figure
If you told a 14 year old me one day I’d be rating Sister Sledge 4 stars and Oasis only 2, I would have thought you were mad but I’m a bit of a sucker for Nile Rodgers recent years. I have to say I’m more of a fan of Chic than Sister Sledge but I guess it’s 2 sides of the same coin in many respects. So many of these songs have been sampled or covered, it is clear the influence they’ve had.
Classic
Classic disco record, but not one of my all-time favorites or anything. Everyone knows the title track.
This album just brings out so much joy!
Repetitive, as disco tends to be, but some slower pieces too.
It's funky, it's dancey, it's jazzy. What's not to love
Love the 70s stuff!
The title song was heard EVERYWHERE when it came out. I mean EVERYWHERE!! Nile’s and Bernard knew how to bring out the best in everyone. Fun album. Not sure why it was deemed worthy to be on this list, however.
Nice funky album, great for a dance floor. Nile Rodgers knows how to create a great funky groove
I haven't had a disco album in a good long time on this. I hope it's catchy and fun, which is what you want from disco. It is generally pretty catchy and funky. You can clearly tell that this was music meant for dance parties, as the songs all have tight rhythms and funky bass lines. The lyrics are just OK, but that's not too important for this genre. The vocal harmonies are very good, and so is the guitar. However, this album feels like it's missing something. It doesn't feel like a great album, but rather a good one. There's clearly musical merit here, but it's missing the spark that made the Chic song "Good Times" absolutely legendary despite basically being a Chic album. Even the title track just feels like good rather than great. I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
The album is more than just its title track. It's good mixture of disco and R&B, and the bass lines are amazing.
What I've gathered from listening and doing some further research: Disco music is so incredibly slept on. The upbeat, feel-good feel of these songs are executed so well. "We Are Family" was known to me as just another song that plays at every white wedding. Little did I know the album would hold so many gems. It's the kind of music you dance alone to, even if it's just tapping your foot to the beat. "He's the Greatest Dancer" is the perfect start to set the tone, and the diversity through the more mellow songs like "Somebody Loves Me" and the more upbeat style in songs "Thinking of You" and "We Are Family" keeps the album interesting and fun. It's an easy listen. Being from PA myself, it was very cool to learn the history and the impact Sister Sledge made in not only from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, but nationwide.
Those 4 songs from the 1st 5 tracks on here got me singing along, “I’m thinking of you” is such a great upbeat song, I remember the band from nightclub visits from years gone by
Had no idea Nile Rodgers produced this. Great gem that I never got the chance to listen to. Will be on regular rotation.
Great album!
First listen
Tuesday, 19 May, 2026 Amazing voices. Nile’s Rogers’ production and direction of Chic as backing band is great. That Philly Sound!
Getting jiggy with it
Chk chk
a huge aspect of my familys favorite albums. although memories of this album are usually clouded by bad memories, the funk, cadence, and tone is an essential 70s album. truly good, painfully catchy.
Maybe my first full-length disco record I've ever listened to? I can respect the arrangements here and I imagine a lot of the repetitive dancier songs would be perfect for clubs and dancefloors but this isn't a highly enjoyable album experience. "Somebody Loves Me" is pretty though.
The first thing you think of hearing the beginning of this record is "damn, this sounds like Chic". That's because Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards wrote all the songs and produce and perform on it. Disco with strings and silky vocals, it's a product of its time, a snapshot of the late 70s. Irresistible boogie bait with Sledge sisters singing. "Thinking of You" and the title track stand out with slinky funky bass performances and groovy arrangements.
Not a particularly cohesive album, but some great tracks.
funky, bops, and great vocals.
Really good songs, disco vibes, liked
Really great disco album, wouldn't return so I'm giving it a 3
Que instrumental incrível, passaria horas escutando essa preciosidade de álbum, sintonia incrível das irmãs e uma sonoridade perfeita!
This was a very fun album to listen to. Very groovy songs that are fun to listen to. 4/5 at minimum. 4.5 would be ideal.
Their third album. Disco / Funk. One of the funkiest and discoest albums out there. Great vocals and the beats and melodies are impossible to not want to dance to. The production is pretty slick too.
Classic
Música Funk, disco, Soul. De mis géneros favoritos por lo tanto muy disfrutable, me han recordado a los Jackson 5. Álbum corto no contando con los remix, así que muy digerible. 8 sólido
I had never listened to this before although I had heard several songs that were (and still are?) popular. I really liked the entire album. It's one of those that the sum of the whole is more than any single hits. I would probably listen to this again and might even buy it
Ok, this actually slaps
My new favourite “party” album
I had a summer retail job where music came from a small colletion of CDs. Some shifts I'd hear We Are Family 2-3 times. Favorite songs: Easier to Love, Thinking of You
Disco with nile rogers He's the greatest dancer We are family
Classic disco and awesome vocals.
Preferred the more upbeat classics to the slower paced ballads, but the latter are still performed well. Enjoyed the album and would listen to it again.
Takes me to the disco days, dancing to a lot of this music on the dancefloor. Enjoyed this album overall, although it's not my go to genre.
Ранний R'n'B. Прародитель всяких TLC и пр. Вполне неплох. Слушать дальше я его конечно же не буду.
Fuck this is immense!! So far there are nottttt enough disco albums on this list and that is a TRAVESTY! Every song on here is a banger and makes me wanna boogie
This is the album that got me stuck on this project for like a year. Moving on.
2.5/5
#937. Ah shit, another disco album this week? I thought the party was over, I was about to put the cocaine away, but don't worry, I'll put it back out, we're not going home just yet. 3/5: fun
Absolutely peak disco.
Can't fault it if disco and We are Family is your thing.
Lost In Music ❤️
Love this
Not usually a fan of disco but this was surprisingly fun
Love this, the singles, particularly “Thinking of You” are amazing. Top of the two stars. Tom.
Bernard Edwards gets 5 stars all by himself.
Soulful banger I loved it
I noticed that this one also has Nile Rodgers credited on it. I think that's funny because the guitar is like the least interesting thing about this album. I liked the vocals, I liked the basslines, I liked the grooves made by the drummer, there might've been a song in here that didn't have guitar. I wouldn't know. It was fine. I didn't actively dislike it. But I also heard it while playing video games with my friend Molly. So it was the soundtrack to a pleasant time. Molly is bad at Slay the Spire 2.
i liked it but i felt like there was so much repetition. that’s to be expected with disco but it’s hard when you’re just sitting around listening to it like i was, versus it playing while you are dancing, which is what a lot of this is intended for. but yeah i think disco does lose some of its shine when you’re listening to it the way i was versus at a disco/club/party. some good songs but then there were some songs i just got bored with. he’s the greatest dancer, lost in music, and we are family were the standouts for me. 3.5/5
solid 4. disco divertido
I found this mostly fine but a little to dancey and superficial for my preference. The music was pretty good, especially when it hit its grooves. The vocals were solid too, if repetitive. As a whole, though, it just didn't really seem all that interesting to me. There were a few good songs that I enjoyed. The rest were forgettable. I'll also note that this is a Sister Sledge album, but it's really just them signing songs made for them to sing. The majority of the album is written, performed, and produced by others. That probably plays into the inauthenticity I felt from it. Also, that it's disco. While the album isn't bad, it's not much more than fine for me. I don't really see what makes it an essential listen. Overall: 2.6/5
70's Disco Soul. Not my favorite kind of soul, but it isn't a bad listen. I can groove to it.
I don’t think this whole album needs to be on the list. It has the one famous song and another song that was sampled by Will Smith in the late 90s. The rest is just really long disco.
Such a great album Nile Rogers and Bernard Summer gave this album life. The hits are undeniable but the rest of the album is just as great.
This is some high-quality R&B focus disco. The songs are great, production is good, and the vibes are positive.
This is a fun album, smooth and so well performed. It also came out at a time where disco was turning into the 80's pop sound, so it has the bounce without too much of the disco. Also, the R&B is still more of the classic style, which I prefer over when it evolved in the 80's. Just, overall, a very good album.
Aside from ‘We are Family’ and ‘He’s the Greatest Dancer’, the album is mostly forgettable.
Hmm disco. Not sure. Let’s see. Saw them live once and it was fun. First half I was thinking four, second half three. It's a real 3 and a half but I'm going to have to go 3/5.
Wanted to like it more than I did - not my favorite
Full of classics.
It’s like Nile was looking around at disco and nascent hiphop DJs and knew he just had to write something perfect for sampling. The songs here aren’t all that compelling lyrically, but the music and vocal affect by the Sledge sisters makes up for that shortcoming. Is it the same basic song every time? More or less, but that’s fine, it’s a good song!
This such a fun funky album, how could i not love it?! Obviously I knew the title track, but the rest were just as great!
You could tell me this was made today and I'd believe you. Very fun
Super funky super influential, great album
Probably a 4 on a relisten

Solid R&B. Title track is the stand out known all over the world.
Great singing; We Are Family was the standout.
Not style of music I enjoy. Some very nice instrumentation and production and a couple of well known tracks.
groovy
Soaring
Album en mi opinion aburrido. Entiendo que en su epoca fuera un discazo de funk pero le ha faltado mas variacion y sorpresa en las canciones. Me ha sonado siempre muy plano, muy igualitario todo y ademas las canciones eran larguisimas con lo que a veces se hacian cansinas. Eso si, esto no quita que sea un discazo ideal para bailar y no pensar en nada para dejarte llevar. Si estas en ese mood, es perfecto.
Very fun. The album cover is gorgeous and We are family is a great song. It's just a bit slow sometimes (the more romantic ones got boring for me)
Hum
Disco at its best.
Very listenable & largely enjoyable. Each song was probably about 1/3 longer than it needed to be though, and the songs are all a little bit samey!
Standouts Lost in Music We Are Family
We Are Family is Sister Sledge's third album, and the most successful work of their career. For this album, they collaborated with Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards from the band Chic, making songs that sound very much like the disco that Chic produced. The album includes a few disco classics, "We Are Family" and "He's the Greatest Dancer." "We Are Family" became the group's defining song, as well as one of the most recognized songs from the disco era.
Actually really enjoyed it.
Infectious. I can't say enough positive about Chic here. Excellent music, and the vocals aren't too shabby either. The ladies sound like they're having fun and are just as into the groove as I am. Disco doesn't suck. I was less a fan of the slower stuff toward the 3, so I'm deducting a bit ⭐⭐⭐.75
Beautiful voices and really fun to listen 🕺💃
fun disco groove! but not my fave
Pretty darn catchy, but I don't feel like dancing.
Very nice rhythm section, I understand why it got heavily sampled! Didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Was jamming in the record shop and sold a copy. Gotta revisit this one not usually what I listen to, but it was good!
I don’t hate disco. I find it pleasant to listen to and dance to, but it doesn’t exactly leave much of an impression on me. I respect the emotion, sense of fun, and technical skill in the album, but it just doesn’t sink it’s hooks into me in the way other albums do.
No conozco a la banda. Parece que es tipo música disco. we are family es un temón. Después todo muy agradable al oído, buen genero. No suelo escucharlo, pero me gusta. 7/10
Excellent disco music. Very tight and groovy rhythm section. Scratchy guitar is so contagious.
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
The music is very boring and the lyrics sound like they were written by a 12-year-old. There's nothing interesting about this.
3.5 would listen to this live
This bangs
A lovely bit of business on a sunny Friday afternoon
A 3.5 roundes up.
Consanguineous
Mostly enjoyable. A strong 3
music is love
I actually listened to this album for the first time like a week ago and this was a good second listen. I am huge fan of funk and disco and this is an iconic album for the genres. I'm not the biggest fan of some of the slower songs, but overall solid album Favorite Track - He's The Greatest Dancer Least Favorite Track - Somebody Loves Me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nile Rodgers.
The hit plus a few other great moments. How to rate that? 3.5
Sweet disco album. I like the more upbeat numbers better. 3.5
460/1089 - I liked the Chic album more but this is still alright.
Love the repetition!
Disco is cool
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.
Mi gusta un sacco, mi immagino su una cabriolet in california o in camper con rocco e nico, o a cucinare le patate al forno. Non è gaso ma è benessere, non è campari ma un bicchiere di vino, le luci soffuse e girare intorno alla stanza.
🕺
Many hits on one album. Good disco. 8/10
There is a pantheon of songs that have been abused as background music for the worst movie trailer of the summer. Send Me On My Way. Solsbury Hill. And probably at the top sits Sister Sledge's “We Are Family.” which, ok, kinda cheesy, but unfairly pigeonholed. It's proper anthemic, it's proper funky, and those harmonies that suddenly burst up the scale (“get up everybody and SING”)... it's also 8 minutes long. This is the era of that sort of vamp, I suppose. And it's not like it is alone here… there's a similar conceptual vibe in You're a Friend To Me, so it all fits together. The album proper? Well, it starts with a groove so good that Will Smith stole it. It has Nile Rodgers’ fingers all over it. It straddles 70s soul and tolerable disco with just a thin coating of funk. It's dated in a fun way. The remaster desperately wants me to listen to a half hour of remixes for We Are Family and Lost in Music, and no, no thank you, but I do think this is surprising enough to slip into 4* territory
Disco at it's most catchy, some smash hits and some nice vocals. Smooth bass, and silky vocals. Some clever lyrics pre-hip hop that may have had some influence on things to come in the years to come.
Never heard of it, but you can hear the Nile Rogers vibes throughout. Cool R&B/soul album. It’s fine. Let it have three stars.
Meh
This is a classic. So good. Anthem for the late 70s.
This list has made me realize I affirmatively don't like a lot of things I was previously indifferent to - hello RHCP deep cuts and any number of 90s Britpop albums - but the biggest surprise is how much I like the dudes in Chic. This is not the 5 star run that I've been giving the Chic albums but pretty darn close. Sorry if I've ever disrespected you disco.
Easy to listen to. Had no idea these guys are responsible for "We are Family." I enjoyed most of the album, but when that song came on I felt like I was being forced to dance at a wedding and didn't care for it.
This is some smooth '70s disco. It's not my thing, and "We are Family" has been pummeled into oblivion by decades of overplaying, but this is a fun glimpse into the coked-up Studio 54 era that sounded like it was a good time all around. 3.5.
If you hate disco you are a racist idk. Imagine hating fun!
tastes like rusty cum is a wild thing to say, shame on your entire family
Disco is very alive in my heart
When Nile Rodgers is involved, it's almost always great!
Es algo que no escucharía en en ninguna situación pero igualmente le rescato cositas.
Like ts, it kinda reminds me of Madonna but either way more disco. The first few songs were great.
Hell yes
Groovy funk fun for the whole family
“We Are Family” has been ruined by hundreds of advertisements and workplace radio rotations. The rest of the album, while not bad, isn’t something I’m racing to listen to again. Some good funk grooves and soul though. It grew on me a bit while listening, probably closer to a 4? They’re from Philly :)
Solid listen. I enjoyed the album.
Incredible album
I don’t mind disco but this was pretty sappy and definitely too slow for for dancing
Heerlijk album om te luisteren. Voor veel gelegenheden geschikt. Echte disco vibes. Prettig geluid en mooie stemmen. Remixen zijn niet beter dan het origineel
A delight, if also a bit monotone.
Muy buen disco😉😉😉
That was much more enjoyable than I thought it'd be. The remixes at the end of the '95 remaster were the icing on the cupcake.
tooooo long and repetitive
Great
This was a great find
Man I Love Disco
decently enjoyable. not my normal music but fine
fun,dancy but a bit annoying
Entre disco y soul muy buen álbum
Heard Before? Only "Greatest Dancer" and the title track. Notes: - I'm sure "smoothest disco" is a nightmare for some, but I dig it. - no truly remarkable performances here, but groove after groove, perfectly balanced. - arrangements and production are such archetypes that it's hard to think of them as choices. Verdict: These are the disco good times, folks. Get down and deal with it. Listen Again? Probably not, but kitchen dancing was indeed done.
An alright album nothing too crazy to me
Super groovy and great to have on in the background to raise your spirits. Lost in Music in particular is a banger
Better than I thought it would be. First song is quite funky.
very fun, but like most disco it's very repetitive when listening to it sitting down at a computer because that's not really it's intended environment. dat bass though.... Fav tracks: We Are Family; He's the Greatest Dancer
Iconic
Echt een leuke warme vibe! Goed album voor achtergrondruis 8/10
Good disco! 3/5 Favorites: Thinking of You, Easier to Love, He’s the Greatest Dancer Should this be on this list: Yes!
1. "He's the Greatest Dancer" 2. "Lost in Music" 3. "We Are Family"
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.
solid
Meh
Exactly how much influence did Nile Rodgers have on this era of disco? Guy was producing and playing guitar everywhere. That shouldn't take away from the talent that the Sledge sisters showcased here on vocals either. There's a good mix of energetic and upbeat singles made for the dance floor, with slower and more tender tracks sprinkled throughout. An essential disco album all things considered.
I love the vibe, it’s cheerful and has an incredible bass and instrumentals that make you want to get up and dance. Favourite - One more time
Good album. It was tons more fun than Band on the Run. Worth a listen.
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!
nice and easy listening
no sabia que de aca venian tantas canciones tan buenas, wow
Fun and stylish, everything was great. Production is top tier, instrumentally it's rich and funky, the vocals are obviously amazing. There is a contrast in love ballads and dance music on this record and I appreciate it.
I love it!!! 🫠🙂🌞
Ahhhh yeah
Funky times.
This is stacked
70
That opening riff! I had no idea that it was Sister Sledge. Although truth be told, I’m a 90s kid so the first time I ever heard it was being sampled by Will Smith on “Gettin’ Jiggy With It.” The title track holds a special place in my heart because it was an anthem for my mother and her sisters growing up. I also really liked “Lost in the Music.” All in all a great album. Truly a vibe.
Groovy and funky. Felt like a trip to the 70s.
Nothing to write home about outside of We Are Family. Mediocre disco sounding band that can be passed up. Would be a 1 if it were not for We Are Family which is a keeper.
Such a fun album and great vibes for a Monday after a holiday weekend, had me dancing at my desk. Helped me realize just how much I love disco 🪩🕺🏼
Good beats and funky sound
7/10
Some real disco classics, but funk loses something for me with the four-on-the-floor, so doesn't quite have the longevity of the best in that genre.
so fun
Super talented musicians, particularly the singing! Some of the songs sounded very dated/disco- but I found a lot of the album really stood up. Can’t go wrong with great vocals, layered harmonies and danceable music.
It was some fun disco tunes. Had Jacob dancing around the living room. It was fun, but didn’t make me want to come back for more.
Beautiful funk and disco album.
I really enjoyed most of this album, it had a really nice danceable funk going
The first half of this album is full of hits. Greatest Dancer needs to make a comeback as the man's version of Dancing Queen. I'm absolutely happy to be Lost in Music. Nothing needs to be said about the title track as it is a pure work of genius. Then we get to the second half of the album and things go off the rails a bit enough to knock this down to a 4.5 stars, rounded down.
There are some great songs, but as the album played on, some songs felt repetitive. Overall, decent album with filler.
Rounding up from 2.5
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
Great disco tunes!
My brothers and I would have "disco fights" in our garage when we were kids. We'd play a disco hits CD, turn on a strobe light and bubble machine and then just absolutely wail on each other. We Are Family was one of the songs featured on the compilation CD. That nostalgia made me really enjoy this record.
Nile and Bernard getting jiggy wit it like the funky kings they are.
Good music, I was hoping for more discoveries.
Ótrúlega skemmtilegt. Fyrri helmingurinn betri, en restin samt solid.
Very listenable with a couple of corkers.
Tosi hyvällä meiningillä lähtee liikkeelle. Coolii skittaa. Ja svengi jatkuu. Vähä hempeämpää matskua välissä. Miellyttävä levy.
Niien tunnisti jo kaukaa, menevä levy. Nimikkokappale tuttu, muttei hajua että tämmösen artistin
It's such a great album
[Already rated. Original review:] Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards can write the hell out of a groove. "Lost in Music" is a certified banger and I want to listen to it every day.
The
main character in a romcom vibe
Always
Jaaaa 4 hits op dit album en Nile Rodgers Al 3x live gezien met o.a. deze bangers
Fav songs: He’s the greatest dancer
Carino, ero tentato di dargli 4 stelle, ma non c'è nessuna canzone che mi piace particolarmente.
Finally! After a week of shoe-gazing drivel, something funky and fun.
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.
Great album! Brought back great memories! Sister Sledge are suck great singers and musicians! Highly recommend this album!
I love Sister Sledge!! Truly an iconic quartet! I wish I was alive during their prime!
Enjoyed it. Never even knew who sang We Are Family before.
Buen album pero no es el estilo que mas me gusta por eso no le di tantas estrellas.
Yesyesyesyes
Listened to the song we are family so much as a kid. The other songs on this album are very good as well
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.
Groovy basslines
