We Are Family

Was never a fan of Disco at and I did roll my eyes when this came up but the whole point is to listen to things you would never pick. I'm still not a fan of Disco after listening to this but damn this album is filled with floor filling bangers. Good work Ladies, it's not my thing but I *have* to respect it.

Amazing stuff especially reminder of how many modern songs sample these old artist

Ох, ну что за альбом! Первоклассное диско, фанковое, клёвое звучание. Завлекает уже с первого трека. Мне очень понравилось.

We are!!!!

muuuy gueno 9/10

I remember the song "We Are Family" being really popular back in the day, when it first came out. I seem to remember it being played at the roller skating rink the few times I went there. I listened to this 3 times in a row and none of it really grabbed me as something I need to listen to again. I wasn't into disco music at the time, and turns out most of it hasn't grown on me. This album just seems kind of generic to me. It doesn't grab me lyrically, musically, vocally. It feels way too smooth and edge free. I've come to the realization that in MOST cases (not all), people that are singing songs that they didn't write tend to feel like they are just going through the motions, playing a part, not really contributing artistically. This album reinforces that thought for me. Some top of mind exceptions I can think of are Diana Ross, Linda Ronstadt and Patsy Cline - where they take other's songs and make the definitive versions that are great. Old school artists like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley are like this too - where they are great at interpreting songs written by others. I did end up clicking "like" on "We Are Family" more out of ironic nostalgia than anything - since roller skating was fun. This song also clearly stands out on this album since they seem like they are singing more enthusiastically - which I think is why it still stands the test of time relative to the rest of this. Liked songs on Spotify: 1/8 Rating: 1/5

Ahhhh, disco. The peppier cousin of funk, I can't help but think it's one of the most fun genres of music ever. There's probably some rose-tinted glasses involved since I didn't actually live through the disco wave, but even listening to this album for the first time today proves to me that I'm not far off. I don't know why I was so surprised to find this album so enjoyable when I've been so familiar with the title track my whole life. Never having heard any of the other songs before, including the shockingly more popular He's the Greatest Dancer, I was even more surprised to find myself singing along to half the tracks before they were even done. That's one thing that's accomplished so well here. The lyrics are simple, clear, and the melodies so core-hitting that I was able to catch on by the time the first choruses were done. Not to mention the album is paced incredibly well, with big hits sprinkled between more toned down tracks. I don't think there's a real weak spot here, but if I had to be picky it does start to run out of a bit of steam towards the end of the record. Smooth vocals, funky guitar, groovy bass, and floaty harmonies bring the entire record together into a spot of genre perfection that I can't help but rate it highly. Highlights: He's the Greatest Dancer Lost in Music Somebody Loves Me Thinking of You We Are Family Easier to Love You're a Friend to Me

20/04/26 caralho que track 1 foda que capa estilosa e que sonoridade fancy da porra se pá uma das coisas mais sonoricamente sensuais que eu já ouvi, e a que mais tem essa característica aqui na lista é funky da melhor forma possível não tem música ruim. todas são curtíveis pra caramba chega mto perto de um 10 pqp 9/10 / 4/5 pq infelizmente pra ser 10 tem que ser um pouco mais minha vibe

Got this album and went "hell yeah man". Let me be clear up front. If you're out there sitting in some sad hole in 2026 and still spouting that Steve Dahl disco sucks shit, in this order, you need to: -go fuck yourself -get off the van mccoy disco duck garbage you asshole and pick up some CHIC BABYYYYYY Hope the ghost of Bernard Edwards shows up in the night and smacks you around a bit before seducing your parents. Album is sick. Easy 4, probably like 4.5. Only complaint I have is the keys on You're a Friend to Me are a little lacking in bite for the groove and chord progression. Should have been waaaay more bluesy/churchy instead of the floaty vibe that was working better on the faster grooves on the album.

Lost in music , caught in a trap Proof that the disco sucks movement was boomers being fools , oh and with some racism.

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

Fun and funky, it's impossible to not grove along to this. And at a tight 44 minutes, it's a quick listen. I knew "He's the Greatest Dancer" and "We Are Family," but "Thinking of You" was new to me and I loved the slap bass.

Classic love some disco

Its a given

It's pretty fun. I wasn't surprised to see that Nile Rodgers was a producer; i can feel the Chic in this. Still, it's ephemeral. I know disco became a musical pinata, with everyone taking a turn beating it down, which has clearly affected its legacy. I don't know if it's cultural residue or just my taste, but I have no desire to put this on again. I still thought it was a good listen, and wouldn't be mad if I heard it again, but I'm not going to add any of it to my collection.

Gran álbum que incluye canciones de las que han sacado samples clásicos que han pasado la brecha del tiempo.

Tremendisimo, clasico de clasicos del Funk

Bangers

Love it

Garbage disco.

I mean, pretty tight disco album. The Sledge can sing, the bass is a sweet groove, Niles' guitar is funky, and the (fake?) strings swirl around. Smooth as the silk the ladies sport on the cover.

Delicious grooves topped with smooth, powerful singing. “He’s the Greatest Dancer” alone is worth the price of admission. Just a smidge away from a a 4 for me.

This is some disco I can get behind. It has funky riffs and danceable beats. Thinking of You We Are Family

When you've got Nile Rodgers and Chic as your backing band then it's hardly going to be bad, is it? I mean, they produced Bowie's biggest chart toppers, didn't they? It's easy to turn your nose up at disco and wave your "Disco Sucks" banner, but this is gold standard disco. Four bangers in eight tracks. "We are Family" is an anthem and 3½ minutes of purest Pleasure. "He's the Greatest Dancer" is not that far behind. "Lost in Music" is driven along by Niles and his guitar and a thumping bass line. "Thinking of You" is a bass line Heaven. Of the other tracks on the album only "Somebody Loves Me" drags a bit, although, as an end of the night, "slow dance before he takes her home" sort of thing it's probably peerless. No-one is saying its deep. We're not talking Mahler. But it's an absolutely exquisite bauble.

There's at least three stone cold bangers on this album. Sure almost every song is a minute too long and it probably could have had an extra song in there, but maybe this was all the best material they had. Solid pop stuff, of the Disco variety.

3 out of 5 Upbeat 70s funk. I knew their top hits, but enjoyed listening to some great b-side tracks as well. Overall too many songs so only 3 stars.

I used to listed to this alot!!

Fantastic album

Sounds great, wonderful vocals and rhythm, just very rarely suits my mood.

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

full of bangers, just peak no notes

This is about as Disco as you can get. Solid hooks. Doesn't really hold up.

Great

Not a whole lot to complain about with this one. It's got a whole string section, for crying out loud. It's some good music to relax to with a classic at every obnoxiously white party right in the middle of it. Sometimes the album was a little too easy to tune out, especially with the lyrics, but it was a great album. Past that I don't have a lot to say.

This one is a bit strange for me because while it's hailed as groundbreaking, a classic, legendary, et cetera, it's still pretty much a pop record. Influence 5. Quality 4. Intangibles 4. Hits 5. Of course I have to break the tie. Sigh. 4

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.

in da clurb we all fam/5

I’m convinced the ‘Disco Sucks’ movement in the late 70s was started by a bunch of assholes who hate fun, cause all the disco stuff I’ve listened to on this list has been pretty good, and this album fits that description. Everyone knows the forever wedding reception staple title track, but there are four songs on here that are way better than that tune, especially the opener. You’ll have a hard time not moving your body to this record. Solid 4/5

Good.

Okay

ok girl, not where i parked my car

Banger after banger - even though most of the tracks are so familiar, it’s great to hear them all together on the album. Favourite track: Lost in Music

there were definitely some boring moments but overall it was an okay album

An album that sounds like champagne tastes and just as bubbly. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards' production is just as pristine as the best Steely Dan records but they don't fucking go on about it! These grooves have so much space and light around every element that it feels like you're in a marble discotheque.

Classic

A fantastic Disco/RnB album that if played at a cemetery it would only surprise me slightly if the dead busted out of their coffins and started a dance party of epic proportions! This is my favorite kind of album - a fun one- a terrific way to lose control of your body for 45 minutes. See you on the dance floor!

Even Will Smith sampling this lot can't ruin it. I have to admit, when I started this task I hated disco, but I have come to appreciate it now - well, the stuff with Chic anyway, and surprise surprise, this album is essentially a Chic album. No issues there. It's top notch disco. That's it. Now, where's the cocaine? That's obviously a joke. No one loses their coke. Best Tracks: He's The Greatest Dancer; Thinking of You; We Are Family

album intro long af but dope. good vibes. Saved thinking of you, lost in music, and he's the greatest dancer. obv I have heard we are family before, its a good song but its overplayed now.

This is unimportant but I accidentally logged into another guy's account lol. 5/5

Interesting. The end of the disco era, and beginning 80s soul. Didn't love it. Liked parts of it more than I expected to, but not a great one.

Well they were definitely not songwriters, but good singers and one memorable hit.

Yeah, it’s not horrible 🤷🏻‍♀️ Stand-outs - He’s the Greatest Dancer - Lost in Music

Nile Rodgers/ Bernard Edwards-produced perfection!

Mixed on this one. There are some undoubtable mega hits on this album, so much so that you've heard them forever and over and over again. That works against this album because you hear those songs, you get it, and then you get to the other songs and that not quite different or unique enough to elevate the album. Overall good but you've heard this all before

Great vocals, love the sisters. Today's bird: Red-headed Woodpecker

<333333333333333333

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.

Review - a classic disco album, for all that's worth. Reasonably fun, self-consciously chic and carefree music. First track spends a verse just name dropping clothing brands. Cutting edge for it's time I imagine. Guitar parts are good. Some fun basslines. Generally a fine album but not really my thing and I disagree with the ethos of disco so never really going to be my thing Rating - 6/10 Need to hear? YES

Easy breezy beautiful

Absolute fire

Can’t go wrong with Nile Rodgers and this era of disco. Exactly my vibe. We are family is probably the worst song and that’s saying something

First off, the production on this thing is tight. Listening to Sister Sledge reminds you of why Daft Punk chose to sample their 1982 song "Il Macquillage Lady" for their 2001 track "Aerodynamic" from the Discovery album. The opener is a banger. Great track with tight grooves. The slow ballad Somebody Loves Me is also a joy to listen to and a nice break from the funk of the 2 last tracks. Thinking of you is okay but not my favourite on the first half of the record. We Are Family is a classic and the most well known track on the album. It’s played a lot on tv and films etc sometimes as a parody. It’s a fun track to be played imo in a party context. But it’s probably my least favourite cut on the record. Easier to Love is fantastic. That little flute thing in the back of the groove is killer. You’re a Friend To Me starts almost with a reggae bass groove melded with the funk and disco of the record. It then goes into this R&B gem of a track. It’s a great cut. The closer is just okay. Not a strong finish to the record but decent nonetheless. He’s The Great Dancer 10 Lost In Music 9 Somebody Loves Me 9 Thinking Of You 9 We Are Family 6 Easier to Love 9 You’re a Friend to Me 8 One More Time 7 8.38/10

i hate to be the downer here but i found this album repetitive as heck… but the flute was a nice touch i was grooving hard to that. this album makes me feel like i should be in an austin powers movie and not in a good way. unfortunately not my vibe but i appreciate the heritage it holds.

4/5!

A banger and some decent disco

Their harmonies are spot on and the enthusiasm in the songs makes you want to jump up and dance!

Love most of the funk. Had impure thoughts about several of the sisters back in the day.

Deserves a louder and longer listening

Absolutely loved it!

Not my jam

Pure disco heaven. Some classics on here and then some lovely slow ballads - incredible family harmonies. There's something about the instruments in this album that's so serene and ethereal

Wow. Bangers!

The album version of We Are Family is great!

The album that sang us out of The Birdcage, The Associate, and Ice Age: Collision Course 🎥🍿

(38/100)

Slaps

1: We Are Family 2: One More Time 3: He’s The Greatest Dancer

The singles are great on the radio, or in a mix tape. But the rest is filler.

Probably the greatest disco album ever. The guitar work is heavenly, and the vibes are immaculate. Even outside of the megahits here, there are some great tracks which help it stand on its own as an album, and not just a best-hits collection. An album I can't imagine anyone truly disliking.

3/5 we are family!

Disco com uma vibe incrível!

QUE ES ESTA OBRA MAESTRA QUE ACABO DE ESCUCHAR? Por albumes como este amo hacer el challenge, justo en linea con cosas que vengo escuchando ultimamente, NO PUEDO CREER ESTE ALBUM fácilmente de las mejores cosas que escuche del genero.

I saw this and said "Are we really going through an entire album for one song????" but then loved most of this album. "Lost in Music" was my favorite.

Love the first track but as an album I found the listening experience cloying and one-note and therefore struggled through - surprised myself with this rating not being higher!

Absolute classic, amazing songs front to back

Top quality disco but mainly for the hits

Nothing like a little disco for the work day!

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

Na na na na na na na

WE ARE FAMILY. I GOT ALL MY SISTERS WITH ME.

vivan las mujeres, los bajos y el r&b, pero chale con los fade out de esa época jsjajaja

Day 202 Music is fucking ace really isn’t it? Worlds gone to shit and it can still make you feel great. Highlights Lost in Music We are Family You’re a Friend to Me

Groovy.

Mu chulo un 5

++++

I'm a little conflicted with rating this album. I have issues with it that would normally lower it's rating, but I also really liked the album regardless. Almost every song is too long. ('We are Family' is eight and a half minutes!) And within these excessive runtimes the songs are very repetitive sonically and lyrically. This genre also tends to sound quite similar song to song, leaving this album with a very monotonous sound. But I actually really liked the album. And I'm tempted to give it an even higher rating because of that, but I won't. Three stars. (Favorite song: He's the Greatest Dancer.)

It's a happy day when you listen to sister sledge :) Fave: He's The Greatest Dancer, We Are Family

not my thing

Classic Disco. What can ya do?

Oh wow, almost a whole album of "ohhh it's THAT song"

RIP Gene Hackman. I'll never be able to hear the song "We are Family" without thinking of your role in "The Birdcage". I hear a lot of influence from Sister Sledge in other tunes. Pretty sure "Getting Jiggy With It" ripped off the hook from "He's the Greatest Dancer". On the whole, This album is very good. Adding "We Are Family" to the playlist, obviously.

Dancy fun.

8/10 - best Disco album so far

Fuck yeah. Saw Sister Sledge at Boomtown, & they were genuinely so sick. My mate grabbed me by the shoulders insisting “this is it, this is as good as it gets”. Sure he had a key hanging out his nose but who am I to disagree. Maybe there is nothing better than thousands in a field dancing to disco and those delicious strings The poor sods who don’t like this are the same plant pots who stand still at concerts. Disco fucking rocks. 8.5 / 10 Best track/s: Lost In Music, Thinking of You, We Are Family

Decent record… for disco. Not a fan of disco in general.

Pleasant enough, but this is not my family. ★★★

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

Say what you want about Will Smith's rap career at least he had some pretty good samples, including using the "He's the Greatest Dancer" riff for "Gettin Jiggy With It." The Nile Rodgers guitar on here is slick and the hits are good, less filler than the Chic albums I already got on this list.

Montag, 16.03.2026 ~Abends~ Mit 7% Akku auf dem Weg zum Görlitzer Park gehört - komplett & ohne Ablenkung.

irgendwann nach der Nasen - OP bei meinen Eltern abends im Wohnzimmer (hatte das Album berwits im alleinigen Durchlauf der Alben #prenicole)

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

We Are Family is a timeless disco classic that perfectly captures the energy and spirit of its era. From the very first track, the album delivers an infectious groove, driven by tight rhythms, rich basslines, and vibrant vocals. It’s the kind of record that feels both polished and effortlessly fun, with a sound that still holds up remarkably well today. What stands out most is the sheer number of standout tracks, there’s hardly a dull moment. Each song brings its own flavor while maintaining a cohesive, danceable vibe throughout. I listened to the original CD pressing (R2 71587), and there’s nothing in particular to note about the mastering, it’s solid and does the job without drawing attention to itself. Overall, a strong album and a must-listen for anyone interested in classic disco. 8/10

I haven't heard many disco albums other than compilations, but this is probably the best I've heard so far. I knew I liked a lot of their songs, but didn't realise so many were on the same album - they still get loads of radio play today. This is full of great songs (Thinking About You probably my favourite), and has energy, finesse and grace. The crystal clear Nile Rodgers production is expert, they do not overdo the bass and it has loads of space to breathe. If I am detecting a concept here, then the theme is basically going out and having a good time. You could go 4 or 5 on this one, but for what it is they couldn't really have made it any better than it is, so 5 stars.

uplifting and positive vibrations.

6/10 – Decent

No real highs or lows.

Nice funk/r&b album, catchy and groovey.

Classic end of the disco era tunes.

Some real groovy moments. Nile Rodger’s guitar playing is so infectious. I like the bass playing as well. Obviously the stars here are the Sledge sisters, and they do shine. I don’t love the strings to be honest, and I don’t really like the slow songs. Once they establish a groove, as a listener I resent any break from the disco tempo.

FUUNKY!! GROOOVY!!

Comme une envie de mettre des rollers et enfiler des pantalons pattes d'eph ! Cet album disco funky nous fait swinguer et nous appelle à danser ! La boule disco est déjà installée, plus qu'à s'ambiancer ! Note : 4 À réécouter : Oui

Manifique.

A true classic

Good old time

bring disco back to the clubs

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

I enjoyed the upbeat R&B sound,

Not my genre

This album is sooooo groovy! I looove it! It has a great flow and idk, I’m kind of obsessed

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

Super groovy and relaxed vibe. Vocals weren’t my favorite but also nothing terrible. Decent melodies overall but the lyrics were a bit distracting and not exactly my style. For sure a great album and probably just not on the end of soul and R&B that I enjoy most. Still really consistent and great backing instruments and nice sound overall.

Made me mum cry

I love Disco, this is a chill disco album with what I consider 2 great hits. The rest of the songs are good but nothing amazing. It's a quick album though and I would listen to it any day of the week, it's just not blowing me away!

Really funky intro to the album with He’s the Greatest Dancer. Love the double layered guitar track. Such a groovy lick. Vocals and brass tie up so well together in this one. Really like the high vocal melody in the chorus. The instrumental outro is so good in this. It’s so damn repetitive but you actually just don’t care it’s that good. This track somehow feels a lot longer than it actually is, probably due to how repetitive it is, but this is a good thing in this case. Lost in Music keeps up the grooviness but shifts into a slower tempo and smoother rhythm. I’m loving what sounds like the strummed octaves and percussives wedged in between. Real prominent vocals coming in over this. SUCH enunciated vocals. Really phenomenal. Interesting at this point I’ve not heard anything in the way of a real bridge in any of these tracks. I suppose that’s maybe a staple of disco, will be interesting to see in the upcoming ones if this changes. We drop the tempo yet again with Somebody Loves Me to give a much more dreamy soulful sound to the track. The mood this creates really ties up with the nostalgic reminiscing described in the lyrics. Gently played piano in the background. Ah I really really love this one. Sister Sledge ADORE a slow fade out. Jesus Christ. The PERCUSSIVES on Thinking of You in the intro. I LOVE IT. Oh. The slight little pause before breaking into the chorus. I didn’t realise I was such a Sister Sledge fan. This is amazing. I love the little instrumental breaks they’re taking instead of a defined bridge. I didn’t realise this was THAT song from the intro. Love the really prominent piano in the intro. And of course the instantly recognisable chorus. First time actually listening to a verse of this song. The backing bass line is very very subtle but really packs a beat. I actually got a little bit distracted with the intro to Easier To Love. I think I'm finding this with some albums that first such a strong specific theme and really tie themselves in to a strict genre is that it’s easy to zone out between songs. This isn’t necessarily bad? Things just kind of blend together? Not much to say about You’re a Friend to Me for that same reason. Good track though. Bit more of a pickup in pace and tone for the outro to this album. Finishing on the same high the album began with. Overall a really really good album, another 4 stars. Highlight of the record was Thinking of You for me, don’t have any complaints about any of the rest!

Some disco bangers

Sister Sledge, wonderful and fun listening. Indulgent into their music and discography. Listen again album!

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.

An absolute gem! Roger’s and Edward’s bring the beat Fave tracks: He’s the Greatest Dancer, Lost in Music, Thinking of You

Feeling the funk Fave track: He's the Greatest Dancer

A few chic bops. 3.5/5

Actual rating: 3.5/5

Duro

Classic disco goodness. Very easy to listen to.

J’adore ! Lost in music, we are family, etc ! 9(,5)/10

solid stuff, ladies!

Listened to and from work. Fun little album. Like a lot of disco to me it kind of all blended together.

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

Other than We are Family I am not very familiar with Sister Sledge's music. This album starts with that amazing bass line and guitar in He's the Greatest Dancer. I can understand why Will Smith lifted it. From there it peaks with We are Family. I enjoyed listening to this one. This is a good album, disco or otherwise.

I really was surprised by this one. Perfect disco. 5 stars. Need to get this on vinyl.

Музыка, из которой черпали вдохновение любимые мной Jungle и Kaytranada. Возможно, альбом из 40 треков - это слишком.

Great classic album, groovy and popular dance hits

"Thinking of you" is a song off here I've loved for a while.

It was okay.

Enjoyable and good vibes!

Love hearing the source of so many samples in hip-hop. Great feel good record

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

Love a bit of disco, but did get repetitive listening to the whole album. Songs were good individually though

An absolutely beautiful and lush R&B/Disco record. Everything on this album is a winner, especially the big hit, We Are Family. But stuff like Easier to Love are absolutely gorgeous tracks. Stuff that'd make a great sample for a 2000's/2010's hiphop track. THAT SAID, for as positive I am about this album, it's just not something I really think I'll ever go back to. Great album that's just not my thing.

Amazing, so many added to my liked songs. What an album, only wished it was longer lol

In the late 1970s I tried to avoid disco music because most of it sucks. It featured talentless musicians jumping on the disco bandwagon. This album is an exception. Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, and Sister Sledge made the best Chic album ever.

Day770 - this is more about what a genius nile rogers is.

WE ARE FAAMILY!! Favorite Song : ONE MORE TIME 7/10

ayyyyyyyyy this shit fire, i instantly recognized the first song, hearing this felt like remembering a lost memory. Such a cool and groovy album so far. Mmmmm third song is so soulful. The groove in this is crazy... its so good. WHY IS ALBUM SO GOOD???? The sixth song is crazy. this ablum might be my first perfect 5. overall i LOVED this ablum, get dancing in my bed.

3.8

We are one hit wonders! The rest of the album was fine, good vocals with slappa da bass but never reaches the highs of We Are Family. 6/10

Disco classic!

So many songs here are ICONIC. Everything here is very interesting and well done. I really enjoyed this. The vocals are amazing too. Liked Songs: "He's the Greatest Dancer" , "Somebody Loves Me" , "Thinking of You" , "We Are Family" , "Easier to Love" , "You're a Friend to Me"

2.5

Such a fun album that I would never think to listen to. Such smooth disco funk. I was originally going to say it remind me of Jamiroqui, yet the preceded them by a decade.

I loved this album. I completely forgot “He’s the greatest dancer” existed, such a great song to open with. There wasn’t a single track on this that I didn’t enjoy and they’re pretty much all on my playlist now (except the triples at the end that elongate the album a bit). The production was so good, everything comes together to create the perfect disco/funk/groovy album, paired with the soulful vocals, I’m not sure how anyone could not enjoy this.

I dig it we are family

Enjoyed this one. Probably not something I'll come back to though.

Man this album is a disco gem.

3,8 Highlights: He's The Greatest Dancer, We Are Family

I’ve experienced some weird coincidences during this project (like that Christmas album popping up of Christmas Eve), but last night before the album of the day rolled over my 9-yr-old was walking around the house singing “We Are Family”. That’s pretty fucked up, no? I like me some disco, but the songs always have long middle parts, I guess so people can, whatever, dance. Those middle parts are too long when you’re drinking coffee.

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.

Top Textzeile: I Fell so alive, i quit my 9 to 5 Slappendester Bass, jedes Lied hat sich kurz vor Ende so in sich selbst verliebt, dass es nicht enden möchte. Schön, aber oft würde ich das nicht hören

Das ist... unerwartet gut!?! Außer dem Titeltrack gar nicht so nervig, ganz viel Sample-würdig (Nile Rogers eben), aber zu lang. Ich würde mir ein Die Türen spielen Sister Sledge Coveralbum wünschen

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.

Schönes Period Piece. Muss man mal gehört haben - lost in music, banger. Aber auch nicht zu häufig.

A bunch of fun. Makes me want to watch “The Birdcage” again.

wi ar femili :D FAVS (top 3): hes the gratest dancer, somebody loves me, we are family mençoes honrosas: lost in music, thinking of you, one more time é um album disco bem basiquinho e normal sinceramente nada mt uau mas tbm nada de ruim!! nota final: 3.5/5

Disco is a genre I'm very lightly familiar with. This could considered an intro of female disco vocal groups for myself. Enjoyable, definitely groovy. You can definitely hear Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards' production through the album.

Another Nile Rogers/Bernard Edwards album? The tight back band is there, some flashes of the soulful and funky bass but its no C’est Chic. The bass is a bit back in the mix and the album is poorer for it. Gets funky on a couple of tracks like We Are Family but overall it lacks something that C’est Chic had, a spark, the overall energy. Not sure. Its Nile’s and Bernard but it hits a groove and stays there in most songs, no texture and a bit repetitive and plain. Fine for the dancefloor i imagine, but as a solo listen, drags a bit. i think it is the variety on C’est Chic that puts ut above this. It’s practically the same band plus the Sledge Sisters on this album, all sings seem to be wrotten by Niles and Bernard, so really a Chic album, but not the best one.

vraiment bien

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.

Nile rodgers heavily influenced album from the first chord. 5 really great tracks, the others a bit mundane. Drums are a bit unimaginative in most of the songs. I do like his production on this though.

Classic disco vibe with one of the most famous songs ever (We Are Family) and for good reason. A solid listen.

Had some nice grooves 2.5

Funky disco vibes are off the chart thanks to Nile Rodgers, and it's been ripped to shreds for samples, like the 1:00 intro to "He's The Greatest Dancer" gives you more than enough time to insert the opening verse of Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy With It" assuming those lyrics have been burned into your memory for the last near 30 years, but I digress... The album is a celebration of pure, joyful energy, anchored by powerhouse vocal harmonies and timeless bangers like "Lost In Music" and "Thinking Of You" that prove this group is far more than just that "We Are Family" one hit wonder.

Hit after hit. Doesn’t sound dated either - just great tunes all round.

Classic

Fun and funky with great production. The hits were great and the rest was mediocre.

good album, not a big fan of R&B/funk

“Caught in a trap No turnin’ back We’re lost in music” Upbeat, joyful, and relentlessly fun “We Are Family” was a pleasure to listen to. It contains Sister Sledge’s three most famous tracks “He’s the Greatest Dancer”, “Lost In Music”, and of course “We Are Family”. It is easy to see why these three are the big hits but almost all of the rest of the songs are just as good at getting you moving. I listened to this while strapped into an incredibly small airplane seat and even that couldn’t stop me from moving my whole body to the rhythm. The only real low point for me was the slower “Somebody Loves Me” which, while not a bad song, fades into mild obscurity in comparison to the rest of the album. An essential listen for any fans of Funk, Disco, or Soul and one that I’m sure will yield tremendous replay value.

A bit too cheesy for my taste

I enjoyed the songs! Just got a lil repetitive, and was a lot to listen to all at once. spread out, I feel like I'd like them all a little bit more. They were also very long songs, and I do not have all that time lmao

FUNKY!! DISCO!! great stuff

Ha bah voilà

Great disco sounds. Definitely dance like no one is watching.

Some MINT disco. Honestly the famous title track might be my least favourite here, and its a solid track so that says something.

Close to flawless as a disco album. 4.5

Love me some disco, love me some Nile Rogers. I didn't love the slower songs but most were the perfect energizing backdrop for my workday.

Nice disco album, to be added to my collection

I would say this is a must listen for sure, simply for the sheer amount of iconic singles and how they have in turn been sampled, interpolated or inspired music that came after it. Kinda sad that it seems they had a whole battle over the trademark amongst the sisters though.

WOW this was an incredible listen, such incredible vibes with such incredible sound, so much fun, wowowow! Wow! Wow!

Belting tunes with those irresistible Nile grooves.

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.

Can still hear it's influence on modern music. Like the soul side, the disco side was ok.

Fun disco record!

Lotta of samples taken from here. Dated

The sisters' vocals with Rogers/Edwards is pretty irresistible. Cool how I recognize some of these from being 'in the air' but never knew where they came from, "He's the Greatest Dancer" being a strong example. I really wanted to like this more than I did. Outside of the title track and Dancer nothing really stuck to me.

Don’t hate it but not my favorite era of music

Not for me

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.

Why?

WE ARE FAMILY✨️✨️✨️

3.5 stars

Not a big fan of the titular song. Likely due to its overplayed status in pop culture. But the rest of the album was surprisingly good.

Love ittt

Listens: 3 Standout tracks: He's the Greatest Dancer, Lost in Music Another groovy disco album. We Are Family (the song) has been played to death, but other than this song, which it's still perfectly fine, and the fact that there are four remix songs tacked onto the album that begin overstay their welcome, this was a solid album to listen to. Disco albums get high marks in my book so far. The genre feels timeless.

Well... this was surprising. I've obviously heard of Sister Sledge and some of their hit songs, but I had no idea they were a singing quartet and that the musicians that played the music were not really an official part of the band but more like session musicians. Which is weird because if there is one thing I think about when I hear some of these songs is the iconic bass lines. And this led me down a rabbit hole about Bernard Edwards and all the music he contributed to as a bassist and producer. Legend.

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

Not My style but was fun to listen to

Nice relaxing tunes thx

They're good songs, just seem a little vanilla to me after being bombarded with them in cheesy movies for my whole life. I thought even the not hits on the album were solid. Probably just overplayed for me, otherwise would have gotten a higher score.

Oooooooh, that's a no-brainer. One of my favorites, 5 out of 5 right away.

ya dije que no me gusta cuando me gritan en silencio a los oidos.

This felt like childhood. It’s fun but not something I would choose to regularly listen to. 3/5

I don’t think I can be friends with anyone of dislikes sister sledge, it means they don’t like Nile Rogers and Nile Rogers is one of the top ten humans ever to to born.

how interesting can 5 remixes of the same song be dude

Timeless disco sound

What a banger is "Lost in Music"! If I had existed in the 80s, I would have seen myself dancing in a disco to this

it's ok

Not what I expected given my only knowledge going to this record was “we are family”. This was a lot more funky than I expected it to be, shoutout to the unreal bassline on “Thinking Of You”. I also particularly liked the slower ballads on the album, “Somebody Loves Me” and “You’re a Friend To Me”. Fun album! Not something I’m going to seek out or listen to again in the future, but this was overall extremely pleasant.

I feel like when I was a kid, disco was deeply uncool. It was a relic from past generations and the punchline of jokes, mostly relegated to themed parties. In particular there were a handful of disco songs that everyone knew—still knows—that have been endlessly adapted for TV commercials, overplayed at weddings, had their lyrics reworked for crude grade school rhymes, etc. “We Are Family” was (is) absolutely one of those songs, so when I saw this album name I expected some hokey clap-along disco. I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be more soulful and to have aged better than I expected. The vocals from the sisters Sledge are especially strong. I think it was a good decision from producer Nile Rodgers to actually put the lead single in the middle of the album, which was somewhat unusual for 1979. The most memorable parts of “We Are Family” have group-sung vocals which, in my opinion, really overpower the more sophisticated and sultry stylings found on the rest of the album. Being encouraged to get through the first four songs, at least, before getting to the blockbuster single both shows off the qualities of the other songs and frames “We Are Family” in a different light once you get there. I waver between 3 and 4 ⭐️ here, but I think I’m ultimately not very likely to listen to this album again (maybe “Thinking of You”) so I have to err on the side of 3 ⭐️.

Perfect. What music is supposed to be. My new obsession is how perfect the “caught in a trap” line sounds in Lost in Music. It might be the best produced line in all of music.

Opens with an incredibly solid start with He’s The Greatest Dancer, and while it doesn’t seem fair to say it drops off from there, nothing else really grabbed me in the same way. That said, there’s some real fun, funky sounds throughout and it’s just a good listen all the way through. 7/10, 3 stars.

Хороший альбом, приємний звук, не вистачило трохи якихось хуків, і вокал також можна було б цікавіший

Nile Rodgers production A+. Maybe too short?!

Immediately recognized the riff from the first song from gettin' jiggy wit it by will smith. Going into it, I'm already thinking about Disco albums being repetitive and long, so I'm hoping this album isn't like that. Like the first song, does have that long period of just instruments for dancing, but pretty good song. Been a pretty enjoyable album so far. Each song is a good mix of well done vocals, interesting melodies and hooks, and good funky bass and guitar.

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.

A suprisingly stacked album (as long as you don't bother with the re-issue and its bonus tracks). I absolutely loved this - maybe I just love disco? Such fun! He's the Greatest Dancer, Lost in Music, Thinking of You, and We Are Family are proper bangers.

This is a fun album. Only song I recognized is We Are Family. Lost In Music is my favorite song from the album. Some of the slower songs took me out but overall I enjoyed this.

Couple of memorable songs

Yea

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).

3.5.

What a great find. I never knew how much I liked disco and dance music. The music is great and the singing beautiful. A feel good, fun album. Obviously the music of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards is responsible for all the funky, dance, pop tunes.

🪩 queens

Good

Tolle Stimmen, gute Mischung aus ruhigen und tanzbaren Liedern, mich haben die schnelleren Songs insgesamt mehr angesprochen, viele längere Songs, zu viele Remixe (4/12)

I feel like disco may get a bad rap. While the lyrics aren't particularly interesting, the music is pretty great with some unexpected chord progressions. Not bad.

I was only really familiar with the song "We Are Family," which is not a favorite of mine, but this is good.

Classic.

I enjoyed the fast paced dance tunes- the slow ones weren’t my jam

Some songs that really hit well, it has a good overall sound.

I don’t understand how anyone could dislike disco. 5/5.

Beautiful album, with beautiful singing. Great songwriting and just such a pleasant experience

Seriously - what is the criteria to get on this list ? The hit, “We Are Family”, is innocuous disco that seemingly helped the Pittsburgh Pirates win the World Series in 1979 but other than that there isn’t much to get excited about on this LP.

Enjoyed this, lots of feel-good tracks. Standouts were Lost in Music, We are Family and He's the Greatest Dancer. Some dull and forgettable tracks, however.

Absolute gold.

Standout Songs: He’s the Greatest Dancer Thinking of You We Are Family You’re a Friend to Me

And smoother and my phone would have slid off my desk. Just joyful to listen to. Close enough to a three to justify.

4.1 Possibly the best disco album I've heard. Guitar is absolutely incredible (Nile Rogers' work)? Funky beats throughout. Think the titular track might be my least favourite, though I think it's repressed memories of my mum playing it nonstop for the first 10 years of my life. Might have liked it more if it was unknown. Seems too 'easy' though, unlike the first two which are just as funky but feels less overplayed (well, lost in music maybe less so). Only thing letting it down otherwise are the slow tracks - Somebody Loves Me and You're a Friend to me certainly start to drag.

i already love this album

Fantastic stuff, I love disco. Some terrific bass lines.

Fun chill disco album. The instrumentation is great, the vocals are also cool but nothing outstanding. It had a couple more relaxed and vocal-focused parts that I thought were quite boring, but all in all, still an enjoyable album. 7/10

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

Funky grooves with enough layers to remain interesting. At its heart, disco is music that aims to be fun and this album is a damn fun listen, so mission accomplished. Sometimes fun is enough, especially when it involves boogying with your daughter. However, this album adds just enough complexity to the music to step it up. Among the better disco albums I’ve heard.

Yurtrrrrrrr

Well we all know the song that gives this album a name. Going in I was not sure about the rest of the tracks though. I was expecting nothing but disco in that vein. But this was a pleasant surprise. ‘Somebody Loves Me’ is a beautiful ballad, totally fits with everything else but what a great surprise. The rest of the songs give more context to ‘We Are Family’, and I might enjoy it more now than I ever did. This is a fun album, if I had company over I’d definitely put this in the rotation.

Really great album. Obviously know lots of these but songs like somebody loves me and easier to love were just as good and deserve lots of recognition. I do think it got a bit repetitive but they all sounded great. I would give 3.75 if possible.

The second artist on this list I've seen live. Nile Rodgers' imperial phase on show here, some of his best work and some of the best pop music ever made. Reminds me of midweek nights out at uni. I would play 'Lost in Music' in the dance today, a proper club record. However I've always struggled with 'We Are Family', feels too much like a novelty song and I can't really put my finger on why.

Yay fun good disco

Si

Lots of radio classics here.

3.5 stars. I really liked this album and will be adding it to my regular rotation

good stuff from the disco era 3/5

Pretty good. Pretty influential for others. One banger song. Overall, a good album

That was cool, for the life of me I can't remember who sampled the first song.

Had my first dance on it, I don’t make the rules

We Are Family draws me in with its groovy bass and crunchy guitar rhythms. What really impressed me was the guitar cutting — it’s subtle and never showy, but extremely skillful, and that understated precision is what keeps pulling me in. Funk isn’t something I normally listen to, and before this I only knew the song “We Are Family,” but their style impressed me.

Classic R & B with some love songs sprinkled throughout the album. There isn't much else to say. Favorite Track: "We Are Family".

Stand-out tracks: He's The Greatest Dancer - the prominent strings in the background are a nice addition, but a bit overused by the end Somebody Loves Me - a more mellow and laidback track, compared to the rest Easier To Love - I like how the chords are unexpectedly unnerving, contrary to the melodies of most of the tracks on the album which are upbeat The album was pleasant to listen to, but most of it felt like very generic disco/R&B music to just dance to or listen to in the background. Nothing to really write home about.

Highlights: He's the Greatest Dancer, We Are Family Didn't know this was where the Will Smith sample is from. Other than that this record left no specific impression on me. It's disco, alright. It has the groove and it did get me jiggy wit it, but it was dull at the same time. As a collection of songs, I would hate to have to sit through it again. It doesn't click with me because the record rarely changes in style. But I guess some of the songs would hit the groove as intended if they were played individually. For instance Lost in Music comes off as an unimpressive song when looked at as a part of an album, but I do see it moving butts at some disco party. It's practically begging for it given the theme. But the again, some don't even work as dance tracks. How is anyone supposed to dance to Easier to Love?

Before being in a group here I rated this a 3 although this may have been a bit harsh.. think it just grazes a 4. A couple of songs do drag a bit but on the whole, fantastic disco production from Nile and Bernard.

амэйзинг

It’s a blast. I don’t liked every track but he’s the greatest dancer, thinking about you, lost in music make it deserve a 4. Fun!

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

Great vibes with this one! Not quite 5 stars but it had loads of bangers. The non singles just slightly let it down 4 ⭐️

Better than I thought. Very chill.

I like the disco vibes

Wow, the first half of the album is crammed full of bangers! It’s like a Sister Sledge greatest hits package. The 2nd half wains just a little but it’s still a good time(s)
