We Are Family

Schöne Klassiker mit freudvoller Musik, was man gut nebenher laufen lassen kann.

Good good good

Pretty nice to study to.

This album is responsible for 90% of the good music after it. Man Chic and Niles really put their whole hook-ussy into this one.

Nice

Bänger. Tosi easy-going musaa, nimikkobiisi selkeesti paras mut myös muut iha hyvää taustamusaa mihin tahansa bilebaariin.

In the first 5 seconds, I was already bopping. That’s gotta be a record. There isn’t a lot of depth to these songs and that’s okay! It does exactly what it sets out to do: it makes you want to boogie!

Still an great easy listening album

For å sitere kongen av England; Dig that funky rythm

It's nice for a candlelit dinner for two or an intimate party with friends

Learned this was a Chic album! Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, and Tony Thompson play funk with a Pop sensibility throughout and it's kind of above criticism. Trying to approach these albums as one would when rating a wine or beer (possibly): is it a good example of the genre? Is it well crafted? This album is certainly a well crafted piece of music, Disco or not. As much as "We are Family" is a standout, nothing here falls flat. There are some cheesy musical tropes (breathy whispering "why?" in the call-and response, the nearly overwhelming string section), but it's all much more innocent abstractions that service the songs. This album sounds great and is an example of Chic's musical genius - songwriting, producing, and playing gives them artistic control and they thrive in the dance pop environment, obviously.

classic

Stupidly good guitar and bass lines. Groovy & a hallmark of disco sound

They were super funky fresh and Philly locals

dat soul

cool had this on cd when i was young

Really focusing on the musicians. It's growing on me, but disco is not my thing. After listening to it again, I appreciate the bass player's funk. 4/5

The four singles are clearly the highlights but honestly - an album with four such fantastic and genre-defining songs on it deserves a place on this list regardless of the rest of the material. Fortunately the remaining tracks are still pretty solid and results in a total package that’s a whole lot of fun

Favs: - ▫️He's the Greatest Dancer ▫️ Thinking of You ▫️ We Are Family

Some classic disco. "We are family". Some remixes at the end of the album that have aged poorly. Actually the other songs that "We are family" are pretty good.

De hits zijn echt fantastisch, de meeste andere nummers matig, met een enkele uitzondering.

Лёгкий диско-альбом, 79 год. He's the Greatest Dancer -- ноги пустились в пляс, хочется сразу подвигаться, отличный ритм. Somebody Loves Me -- меланхолия достойная постельных томми вайсо. Но очень приятный вокал We Are Family -- Тайтл трек альбома звучит как госпел. Не то что бы он мне не зашёл, он лайтовый и качовый, как и весь, по всей видимости, остальной альбом. В комментариях очень много ностальгии -- по школе, по фестивалям, по семье. Пожалуй, это основная ценность трека и альбома. Easier to Love - кста балдёжная последовательность аккордов, очень приятно слушается. You're a Friend to Me -- мне понравилось! Супер чиллово. По итогу альбом -- крепко 4/5. Одобряю плюс уважаю. Мне зашло, но переслушивать не буду. потому не 5.

Funky disco. Never heard any of these songs before, but they're a great listen.

Listening notes? Good music, feels very late 70s East Coast/New York disco funk. Not totally my thing but solid.

Not my cup of tea

Not normally my style, but a solid album. Would listen to again.

Great writing, super talented, lovely voices, perfect harmonies.

I actually bought that LP back in the day and saw them in concert in 1975. The album was their breakout and the tracks had Nile Rogers DNA all over, they were similar to Chic, but the vocals were better.

Silkimjúkur söngur og hljóðfæraleikur. Tveir ofursmellir sem maður hefur heyrt ansi oft á dansgólfinu, tvær hægari ballöður sem grípa mig ekki eftir tvær hlustanir, og fjögur hressari lög sem lyfta plötunni á móti. Tæpur fjarki.

Awesome energy, a couple 10/10s. 8/10 great album

Some great playing from Chic members, a little heavy on the disco but will come back to it.

Banger after banger

Jeej, de top 2000! Zometeen les van de bovenmeester, Don Leo ben je er klaar voor? Ja, dit is ontzettend leuke muziek, van het niets-aan-de-hand-genre. En een ontzettend tijdsbeeld. Of dit nou zo'n vernieuwend of invloedrijk album was weet ik niet, maar waarom zou het altijd obscuur en hoogdravend moeten zijn in deze lijst? Anders zou er in deze lijst sowieso geen disco-album staan vrees ik.

Album vol hitjes uit de discotijd, met het klassieke gitaargeluid van Nile Rodgers. Top 2000 intro tune erbij en alle boomers verkneukelen zich al. Ik had meer van dit soort albums in de snob1001 verwacht eigenlijk, en na die albums van vorige week is dit toch wel een verademing. 3,5 ster die we vrolijk naar boven afronden.

Spoko chillout, po samej okładce i roczniku było wiadomo jaka to będzie muzyka. Dobre i przyjemne, nazbyt genetyczne. Znakomite otwarcie 1001 albumów

really incredible album, half of it was released as singles and theyre definitely the best tracks but the others are great too

swingy vibes

Solid singles track. Stone cold disco bangers.

Pretty good,they have nice voices.The albums is short the songs are catchy,the greatest dancer and we are family are bangers.Solid album.

Couldnt find the full album, listened to a compilation. Awesome and uplifting. 4

Can't go wrong with Sister Sledge. Funkalicious soul.

A mainstream pop album with an opening track where vocals don’t come in until almost one minute?! IMPOSSIBLE! They’ll never get payed through Spotify that way. Wake up Sister! Holy shit this is funky. Soaring (and pretty sparing) vocal melodies over TIGHT rhythm sections is all I need. I really appreciate that the songs here can take their time instead of following tired formulas. Added this to the driving playlist rotation. Big Willy style’s all in it.

Sister Sledge gallops gallantly atop golden grooves from Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards in this silky smooth late-70s showcase.

Somebody Loves Me is corny. The bass in Thinking of You is impressive. He’s the Greatest Dancer is still amazing, even if I can’t help but hear Getting Jiggy Wit It in my head when it plays. Only got through side 1.

I was transported to Funky Town, population: me

After hearing this and Chic, I realize I really like Nile Rodgers as a guitarist and a producer. I was immediately caught by how familiar this felt, particularly 'Lost in Music'. I simply thought Daft Punk was heavily influenced by this album, but then discovered Rodgers was a guest musician for a few songs on Random Access Memories. Anyway, I thought that was a neat connection. For this album, We Are Family, I thought this was really fun, focused, and had some surprising moments and makes me want to revisit Chic. Also, this is very influential on Future Funk, the less nihilistic cousin of Vaporwave.

Fun album, enjoyable the whole way through

funky

cirkus afro

fun funk

I thought this was great. All killer. Playing and arrangements all on point. Great palate cleanser after Duck Rock

the bass is so tasty.

dope record (4/5)

Really liked it

A little weak outside of its two big singles but I’m a sucker for disco. I’d certainly roller skate to this album. 8/10

Not my style but a great listen. No bad songs.

Album 138 of 1001 Sister Sledge - We Are Family Rating : 4 / 5 Favorite Track : We Are Family 1979....or the Summer of 1979, to be specific...was a fun time. Certainly one of my favorite Summers. The title track from this album was everywhere. The Pittsburgh Pirates had adopted it as their team theme and they were kicking ass in the National League. While Disco isn't my favorite genre, I can't deny the place it played in the musical life of someone whose playlist was whatever Top 40 was feeding him at the time. This album is certainly representative of that moment in time. Not only do you get Sister Sledge, you basically get another Chic album. It doesn't necessarily make me ponder over it's significance in the world of music, but it does evoke memories of a fun time in my life that has now faded from the rearview mirror. We can't help when we are born, so I'll embrace it.

So many disco classics on one record. Just about every track holds up to this day. What a party. Four and a half. Fave track: Lost in Music

I enjoyed it.

Cool jazz and funky music, like it

I'm not really sure when R&B transitioned from this to the lo-fi style that's so pervasive in it today, but I have to bone to pick with whomever is responsible. These funky disco elements are infinitely more interesting to listen to. Now that that's out of the way, the vocals are just beautifully handled. The instrumentals are a perfect accompaniment, and they are treated as more than just simple background. I'll always have time for albums like this. Favorite track: We are Family

I love me the old R&B funk sound of the 70's and 80's and this album is no exception. Vocals are exceptional and make you feel each song. Just made me groove in my chair while listening. I even liked the extended, disco versions at the end of the album. Very aware of We Are Family, but was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the songs on this album. I know a couple got kind of slow, but damn, all around very good album. Younger crowd probably thought they were hearing Getting Jiggy With It when He's the Greatest Dancer came on, but just a reminder that most of your 2000's R&B shit was stolen from the artist of the 60's through 80's. At least the shit they play on the radio these days. Speaking of Getting Jiggy With It, I think every hit song Will Smith had was stolen, ok "sampled" from the late 70'S R&B. What a cuck pussy. Enough about that clown..... Favorite song off the album is definitely Thinking of You. Other favorites include Lost in Music and Somebody Loves Me. He's the Greatest Dancer is solid as well. I'm just disappointed it's now associated with that cuck dude mentioned earlier. Quick side note, when I hear We Are Family, I think of the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. They adopted this as their team song and went on to beat Baltimore in the World Series. They had a pitcher named Dock Ellis. He threw a no-hitter while on LSD. No shit. The same Dock Ellis that gave up the longest All Star game home run, estimated 539 feet, to Reggie Jackson. It was 1971, old Detroit Tiger Stadium on the corners of Michigan and Trumbull. It was a beautiful baseball stadium. There's your sports trivia for the day. Very good album that I enjoyed very much. I've been grooving out to this genre last couple days. I can see me putting this album on during one of my redneck pool days with the wife. 4

Relaxing therapy session.

Honestly kinda boppin

This music has such a warm feel to it. Good to dance to as well.

Хорошего, 7/10

Great pleasure

I didn’t know this album was on the list. Huh. Anyway, it’s good disco music. Title track is a classic. Not much to say, but it was good.

Pretty good!

Un album disco de qualité, superbes voix et instruments top notch

Jävligt vass platta faktiskt.

This is perfect disco really, even if it probably was one of the last gasps of the dying genre. The 4 singles are fantastic; smooth, funky and groovy. Just makes you want to dance. Thinking of You is my favourite of them, it's a real earworm! The other album tracks don't live up to the rest, but they're pleasant enough to listen to.

All the sisters yo!

Nile Rodgers really shines through, can especially hear it in "thinking of you".

Great disco album.

Some of these suffer from overplaying but this is pretty much wall to wall great

Get your glitter ball out and dance around your handbag in this late 70s disco legend. It's the Nile Rodgers, (Chic), touch that brought a stepped change to the Sister Sledge sound, and it's just one of those albums that has a few gems to kick off any party to get people up and shake their booty and throwing shapes on the dance floor like the legends they wanted to be. For the few legend tracks on the album, there are also a few donkeys, which shouldn't have been recorded, let alone played again. It's a bit of disco diva fun, nothing to get over critical about, just kick back and enjoy.

Very good album, well produced and excellent quality.

Disco bangers

4+/5

Wow, didn't know this is where Will Smith sampled "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It"

Great album, lots of good songs.

This album sent me down a Nile Rodgers rabbit hole, I loved it!

Solid disco. A couple less good songs, but He's the Greatest Dancer and the title track make up for it honestly.

Dang. This was great. It's not my typical musical genre, but they had great harmonies, reasonable variation in the sound and not a single song I just really didn't like.

This album is really, really good.

Holy shit a different genre than some subgenre of rock. How refreshing. This has some big mo-town vibes but also has a really good backing track. I could definitely see the first track being sampled to make a really good city pop-type song or just a funky hip-hop song. I kind of really hate the title track song "We are family" mostly because it gets overplayed (especially at weddings) I've never heard anything else from this group, so this is actually refreshing. I really like the way they use short guitar plucks? It has a really distinct and pleasing sound which pairs well with the short violin/string hits they use in a lot of songs. The slower ballad-type songs are not really very good and honestly don't do a good service to the album, but luckily there isn't a whole lot of them. Honestly "We are Family" wouldn't be so annoying to me if I hadn't heard it so many times, especially in so many cringe-worthy situations. Overall discounting the remix songs this is a short little album and honestly, it's pretty good. My main gripe is that the slower song are not nearly as good as the other tracks and that the album looses steam towards the end A solid to light 4/5 though.

Hella funky.

Fantastic soul album. Great tracks, lots of classic 70’s R&B gems in We Are Family, He’s the Greatest Dancer, and Love in Music. Great stuff.

It's consistently good👌

A nightly soundtrack during the early nights of my career when I was involved in nightclubs. A great album.

Unexpected absolute banger from soup to nuts

disco funk ikke phunk 3,8

Funky stuff. 'Nuff said.

Incroyable album, j'y allais vraiment de reculons mais c'est super solide. Les mélodies sont entraînantes sans être énervantes comme beaucoup de pièces disco peuvent facilement l'être. Définitivement à réécouter. 9/10

Great album, incredible disco music.

Type of music that would be sampled into modern music. Isnt as upbeat but works for background noise to groove to.

Brilliant album all familiar hits with that chic sound

Bangeramaskínan Nile+Bernie setja risastórt mark sitt á þessa plötu. Stanslaust stuð!

Damn, richtig gutes Album, würde 4.5 geben!

Funky!

Classic grooves. The kind of stuff that gets imitated and sampled endlessly.

It's good. Somehow every song on this album has the best bass performance ever.

Very good album with some great songs

Chic mk. 2. And nothing wrong with that.

Fantastic listen.

An album stuffed full of disco classics. Great for a Saturday night on the dance floor. As a full album most songs sound similar. It would be very difficult to tell them apart.

He's The Greatest Dancer absolutely slaps

Awesome vintage disco dance pop with some amazing melancholic melodies in-between and great music all around (89%)

very good 8.5/10

Ah yeah! After failing to break through with their first two albums, Sister Sledge enlists Chic’s Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edward’s for their third album We Are Family. With their help Sister Sledge ended up creating one of the Disco’s great albums and Singles. I enjoyed the lush orchestrations on here. The strings added a nice coloring to the groove set down by the guitar and bass. The sister’s voices work well together. It’s hard to believe that Kathy recorded the vocal lead for “We are Family” in one long take.

This was a nice palate cleanser after some AWFUL electronica albums. While definitely OF ITS TIME (holy disco, Batman!), it sounds great. Great singing, GREAT bass and guitar (Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, respectively, who also wrote all the songs - this is basically a Chic album with the Sisters Sledge singing). Probably my only complaint is that the guitar part is pretty repetitive - the same scratching style on every song - I know that's his thing and he's great at it, but after a while it started to sound pretty repetitive. I'd definitely listen again, but not sure I'd go out of my way to seek it out, which would make it a 3 not a 4. But, since I kept listening a lot, I guess it deserves a 4. Favorite tracks - He's the Greatest Dancer (This is what GOOD disco sounds like!), Lost in Music (got stuck in my head), Thinking of You (great guitar groove), We Are Family (truly classic and worth being played a billion times. What a great bass line).

Can't explain why I enjoyed this but I did, disco af

Favorites: -He's the Greatest Dancer -Lost in Music -Somebody Loves Me -We Are Family

Great funk album, singing was on point and production was great especially for an album that came out last 80s. It got slow at times but for the most part it was very consistent. 8.4/10

Loved it except for the slow dancing song. That really killed the groove.

Not really a disco chap, as a rule, but this was awesome! I've heard "We Are Family" far too many times to really welcome hearing it again, but even so, I gotta give it props for being anthemic. Fave track - "Lost in Music" - hypnotic, and I love the scansion of the "I quit" line... 💅

Behind the wholesomeness of We Are Family is sultriness and a whole lot of funk. It's your signature Nile Rodgers, amplified by a passionate but also groovy set of sisters. Love it! Standout tracks are He's the Greatest Dancer and Easier to Love.

good funky rithms

Smooth disco grooves and sweet harmonies. The deep cuts might just be the best songs.

This album does not miss. I was hooked from the moment that guitar kicked in. Nile Rogers’ is all over this record. Though this album is clearly a dance record, the musicality and production are top notch. It walks a fine line between commercially viable and artistic integrity and succeeds in both counts.

Great album from the disco era. Produced by Nile Rodgers.

Singles carry

An all time great disco album. Hook those baselines into my veins. Four of the eight tracks are icons of the genre (He's the Greatest Dancer, Lost in Music, Thinking of You, and We Are Family) and the rest is more than decent. Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and the Sledge sisters are on top form here and have created something timeless and brilliant. Disco does not suck. Rating: 4.5/5 Playlist track: Lost in Music Date listened: 27/01/23

Albums like this are what I love about this. You know the hit, never heard any other songs, and they rock

4/5 It was a really fun album with no terrible sounds or out of tune instruments. It was groovy. I liked it.

I'm ignoring the remixes at the end of this version and therefore give this a 4 out of 5. Upbeat, funky, and not too heavy which is a great change from what's been churned out lately. Great music and singing - will revisit this one.

Absolute banger. The last couple songs are a slight miss, but the rest had me moving along the whole time. Despite being the favorite and the title track, We Are Family is not the best song on the album.

un imbécil acá puso disco sucks te voy a buscar a tu casa hdp

This bops

Makes me wanna quit my 9 to 5 and get LOST IN MUSIC. Hella romantic and sweet and got my toe tappin and my shoulders loose.

Disco gives me life. I already had several song from this album saved, now I got to fill in the blanks. 4.5/5

Pretty good disco album! Loved the song “thinking of you”.

Pretty damn sublime. Rodgers and Edwards sprinkling their magic dust. And to think back in the day I dismissed disco out of hand.

delightful. 4.

Philly girls have done quite well here. Building from Gamble and Huff roots. Sister Sledge is dominated by the production team of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, who wrote and produced the entire album. While it clearly sounds like it emanated from the Chic family, the sisters bring their exuberant vocals to the table. The hits are enduring. "We Are Family", "He's the Greatest Dancer", "Lost in Music" and "Thinking of You" all have been very influential and have been remixed and sampled over the years. Many of the remixes drive home the point that the originals (including production) were close to perfect.

Yeh it's disco banger after disco banger If you didn't know what you were getting before you popped this on, why are you even listening to music?

An album of massive hits I always forget they are all by them!

Good rhythms. Title track blunted by overfamiliarity but pretty great album overall.

Pinnacle disco. The Sledge sisters provides the main vocals while an orchestra of other musicians and singers color in the rest of the album. Did not know it was spearheaded by the guys in Chic or that they wrote the songs before knowing the Sledges. An album defining of its' era and endlessly sampled in the modern age.

A time capsule of the height of Disco instrumentation. The production is perfect in every way. It is Disco so that makes it lose a point, but I would say it’s well played anyway.

cok eglenceli ders calisirken guzel gidiyo

those singles are fucking outstanding

A few meh songs. But the best songs SLAP. It's so apparent how influential Nile Rodger's production is here (I realized the first songs was sampled by Will Smith). And despite being way too overplayed, relistening made me realize that "We Are Family" is overplayed for a reason: by itself, its so fun.

Slammin'. I bet watching this album live was so hot hot hot.

Is Sister Sledge the long lost sister to Zero 7? Okay, but maybe great grandmother. Regardless, I loved this way more than I thought I would. Specifically, the track You're a Friend to Me... sooo good.

Favorite song: One More Time

Listening to this album makes me want to listen to more disco soul.

Classic funky vibes

Vibes

Will Smith sampled this album's opening track on Getting Jiggy Wit It. Pop, Soul, and Funk all at once is such a GOOD vibe. Groove to this daddy-o! Works best on an uptempo track IMO 4/5 cuz I can't give it 3.5/5

Funk-disco-soul. Un megahit. Un 4.

This is a damn groovy album! I just love good bass work on any album and this is some damn exceptional bass work. And of course the titular track is an all time classic. "He's the Greatest Dancer" has to be my favorite song on the album though.

Lost in music 🎶 I love disco. My fav songs are We Are Family and One More Time

I would probably dance to that, or maybe I did

8/10

Super fun album to get ready to! Listened to it before the bucks game and it got me in a good mood!

Its a pretty great album, and from the perspective of 2022 its absolutely nuts how literally every track has been sampled in basically everything since. 4/5

Kind of an all women Jackson 5. Very, very cool and groovy basslines. We are family Lost in music Thinking of you

Disco is underrated and this album is much better than I was anticipating. Nile Rodgers remains undefeated. 4/5

Piacevole, avvolgente, caldo.

fun!

Nile Rodgers!

Listened to on 10/3/22 4/5 Favorite song: we are family, lost in the music, someone loves me It’s impossible to listen to this album and not want to dance - it’s SO fun, flirty and even the ballads were beautiful

Every song makes you want to dance in place. Gotta love the classic WE ARE FAMILY

Didn’t realise they had so many bangers

Great disco album

Brilliant. Niles can do no wrong.

You’ve heard the song now listen to the album

Now! That's what I call music! But I must wonder about all those strings in the disco era. Did violinists playing for Sister Sledge get more money than, say, violinists in the New York Philmarmonic? There is a lot of funky sweeping strings in the disco era, how did they do it?

so much fun

This was a super enjoyable listen. We Are Family is the obvious classic tune on here as it has stood the test of time 40+ years later. But the rest of the songs are no slouch as well. The Sisters Sledge all had lovely voices on this and with the Chic rhythm section(Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson) the music was excellent as well.

So many disco-tastic hits.

Maybe one of the best soul album I've ever heard.

Groovy and catchy as hell, definitely a classic that I can't believe fell under my radar. I haven't heard much disco so this is definitely top 1 for now.

The album give some vibes of the 80's, it starts very energetic and then slows down the pace of the music. The voice is great in every song and the instruments were great.

July 12, 1979. Comiskey Park, Chicago. A sad, sad and tragic day. Disco, when done well, has no equal, musically, for danceability, for joyfulness, for pure hedonistic pleasure of moving your body. This album has some cracking good disco on it. But also some crappy disco. The slow end-of-the-night numbers are just plain uninteresting,, even though they showcase the talents of the performers admirably. The higher energy disco hits, though, are superb.

This was a really fun, solid album.

Very good late 70s album, didn't add to Playlist but thoroughly enjoyed

Wow this has a lot of hits in it. Really takes me back to school dances. Disco at it's finest courtesy of Nile Rodgers. 1001 albums could have a whole genre in his name (Chic has 2 albums as well). Amazing how many cultural references have spawned from this too - a lot of people unaware where they came from.

Funny

This album grew on me quickly. It’s got the “we are family” classic on there, and the rest of it is just really smooth, groovy, and good vibes.

I dug most of this. Bonus points for inspiring the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. Best track: We Are Family

I wouldn't say this is my genre of choice, but I did enjoy the album. Obviously, We are Family is a banger. He's the Greatest Dancer is good too and shows just how lazy the sample was for Will Smith's track. Overall, a decent listen.

Love the album cover photo, I feel like I know just what I'm going to get. And they do indeed bring smooth sweet harmonies along with some funky disco. Feel good fun time music. Thanks album generator!

Motown banger after Motown banger 4.5

Great listen, very surprised as not something I was looking forward to listening to when it appeared. Funky beats and didn’t realise the Chic influence and link

I mean, come on. This album is just fun and groovy. It isn't the most substantial, sure, but the feel of the music is enough to enjoy without an intense meaningful punch.

Gotta love that Chic sound!

If you appreciate disco, like I do, then this album is awesome - Nile Rogers in full form - with a carefully crafted album of funky, soulful, sexy songs. Obviously, 'He's the Greatest Dancer', and 'We are family' are monster hits, but the whole album is one of the defining records of the disco canon.

Classic disco album, hail to Nile Rogers

I wasn't looking forward to this listen simply because I have never like the song "We Are Family": it sucks. But the rest of the album was pretty damn good. It was funk/r&b with the lasting touched of disco, but it is what it is. It has Nile Rodgers stamp ALL over it. As a matter of fact, if I didn't know it was Sister Sledge, I would have guessed that it was Chic that I was listening to.

Pleasant listen. There's nothing wrong with this music but doesn't move me.

We are family is a classic and this just brings back memories. Great album overall but somehow also sounds a little disco era

8th July 2022 Listened in the morning getting ready to drive to Norfolk for Josh Wright’s wedding. Pure disco, doesn’t get better than this if you want to jive on the dance floor.

It’s a pretty good album from the height of the disco era from a group of sisters

Super funky, slightly girly, reminds me of car rides with my dad.

Didn't realize Will Smith sampled He's the Greatest Dancer for Jiggy with it, quite the jam.

great dance music - blast from the past

Diskoklassikoita! Eipä tästä muuta voi sanoa kuin että toimii. 4/5

Solid disco album

I'm listening to this on a Friday morning, the sun is shining. I made an effort to listen to it as a "new" album, and get past the feeling of being at a wedding or awful corporate away day, or another concert that Nile Rodgers has been wheeled out for (he just turns up to anything these days eh) and I really enjoyed it.

Great album with some brilliant highlights. Enjoyed so can’t complain.

pretty good, I enjoyed it - 8/10

Disco music huh, interesting to see how it holds up. Not bad so far, easy to groove to. I like the first song. The title song is a classic hit. Overall I enjoyed this album.

Классный альбом, очень понравился романтичный трек Somebody Loves Me. Здоровский.

About peak disco, marred only by the vapidity of some of the lyrics. It's rate for something to be such a complete period piece that can still stand on its own merits.

I like very much this music. Sister Sledge is a great band. "We are family" is a hit song.

I imagine this this is probably pretty classic for the genre. For what it's worth it was enjoyable.

I am very tired

Nice

Megabangerzz

Så gott som alla låtar lät likadana men det var en banger var gång...

Slick and similar to C'est Chic, but with more hits (4 out of 8 album tracks).

Funky Disco that has 3-4 really big bangers. I am especially enthralled by Lost in the Music and He's the Greatest Dancer, both of which are fun. I'm guessing We Are Family must have been a smash hit but commercials have ruined that song for me. While those songs are great, listening to the entire album is a rather repetitive experience with all songs having the same guitar riffs (which are cool in smaller doses) and bass lines. Also the more quite songs are kind a meh. It is a 3 1/2 album for me, but forced to choose, we end at 4.

Great

Smooth disco classic.

Classic. Great album, exceptionally funky.

Ones I didn't know were pretty slow. Still d i s c o. How do so many reviewers not like disco?!

It's got all the bangers! Great album.

I obviously knew We Are Family but the rest of this was pretty good too!

Un très bon album de funk magnifiquement bien présenté par Christophe Dechavanne et son chien. Le concept est très simple: deux familles s'affrontent, chacune d'elles étant composée de cinq membres, dont un capitaine. Le but est de répondre à des questions ouvertes posées à un panel de Français sondés composé de cent personnes et de trouver les réponses les plus fréquemment données par ce panel. La famille qui accède à la finale peut remporter une somme pouvant s'élever jusqu'à 100 000 €. J'ai beaucoup aimé les passages au cours desquels les candidats donnent une mauvaise réponse et que retentit le son « Pwooon » illustré par une croix rouge ; Dechavanne ajoutant souvent la phrase « Ça sent le vécu... »

Cet album m'a permis de comprendre que le groupe CHIC proposait en fait du sous Sister Sledge. J'ai par conséquent demandé à Robert de réduire la note de leurs deux précédents albums d'une étoile. A bon entendeur.

The quality on an 8-song album is incredibly high, everything is done so well and so efficiently, almost nothing wasted, a no-skips contender, has everything you want.

Not a disco fan, but this is class. This was an absolute delight. Some classic disco here mixed in with some really lovely, soulful ballads. Nice and upbeat, will be listening to this again when I need a pick-me-up. 4/5, maybe deserves a 5 but I don't like disco enough for that.

Some really nice disco on this! All the people in the reviews who hate this clearly don't know how to have fun. Not a 5 because of the more boring songs (Somebody Loves Me, You're a Friend to Me).

Loved it!

Some great songs, can see a few reviewers knocking stars off as it goes on a bit too long with weaker songs, but don't believe in penalising for providing more. The first few tunes are more than worthy of a 4

Loved this. Start to finish. Really entertaining, listenable. Added.

I enjoyed it. A lot.

Probably liked this more than I should have

DISCO music!

I was surprised by how much I liked this album. The one issue I have with these disco/funk albums from the 70s is that the god damn strings always sound like shit. Dunno how they caught on. Despite that, it's a great record with some good performances and exceptional songwriting.

When disco was huge, I missed most of it because I was really into rock as a kid. I do recall a couple of these hits, but this was definitely my first full listen to this album. It's great! I'm not a dancer at all, but even this awkward listener was bopping his head to this album. The four sisters' vocals are fantastic -- wow, the harmonies. And when one of them takes a lead, it's just gorgeous. Nile Rodgers' guitar work is stunning. Bernard Edwards on bass and Tony Thompson on drums...Holy Schneikies, some serious chops there. Too easy to dismiss music when it's in a genre I don't listen to, and I admit that. This has some real fun and interesting songs on it.

Fun times!

Classic disco album. Love almost every song from it.

Fun, good for dinner party. Lost in music fav track

This originally put me off because of "We Are Family", but the album stands up as a decent work of the disco era, with R&B flavour. It probably helps that Nile Rodgers helmed the album, and he seems like a perfect match for the fierce vocal talents of the sisters. It's an album with plenty to dance about.

Rrr

The genius of the Chic Organisation working hand in hand with a great vocal group - smart, sophisticated disco, packed with hooks, great tunes, fabulous vocal performances. All the big hits open with the title (in classic Chic style) - Lost In Music, He's The Greatest Dancer, We Are Family - "BOOM! HERE WE ARE! TO THE DANCEFLOOR EVERYONE!"

Funky

With all the basic albums this week, I’m glad we could end on a high note. This was a great album with a ton of fun dance songs that also are good to chill to. We are family is a classic but I found myself jamming to almost every song on here.

Of course I'm familiar with the title track here, who isn't? Props to Sister Sledge for picking the perfect band name, as they are indeed four Sledge sisters. When I saw the tracklist, the song "One More Time" reminded me of Daft Punk, and oddly enough when hearing this thing get started I couldn't help but think they were influenced by this. Maybe not this particular album, but the disco fever. There are plenty of gems on here, not just the reunion fodder that is "We Are Family." But it helps to know that song was literally sung by four sisters in a band. Great album. Favorite tracks: He's the Greatest Dancer, We Are Family, Somebody Loves Me, Thinking of You. Album art: A great band photo, made a little funnier by the familial relationship. Perfectly late '70s though, especially all the mirrors. 4/5

Funk-disco-soul. Un megahit.

There are no less than four major hits on this album. In the context of this album, even those sound fresh, and swing like they must have done 42 years ago.

Good funky/soul vibe. Faves: Thinking of You, He's the Greatest Dancer

I love Sister Sledge! I don't ever listen to their work in albums though for some reason. Packed with bangers, very nostalgic for me makes me think of good times and makes me feel goooood! Only down side is Somebody Loves Me - not feeling them doing a slow song to be honest. Other than that it's all top for me, funky beats and just gold.

I understand why this group was so popular - they knew their sound and they stuck to it and stuck to it well. It's not really my jam, but I can see how the album is perfect for someone whose jam it is.

Disco cool

Un dels millors discos de disco... perquè de fet tampoc en té gaire dels tòpics del génere. El que més en té és curiosament el tema titular -i gran single de l'època. Per la resta, una molt elegant combinació de pop, soul, r&b, funk amb uns arranjaments de luxe

Some classic songs on here I forgot was SS. Enjoyed. V good fun

You can't deny it's a disco classic. You can boogie, you can sing, it gets ya bopping and I won't hear another word about it.

Some great disco classics on this album, although some of the slower tracks are a bit saccharine.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that disco is bad! What a collection of smooth groovy bops. I only previously knew the title track, but recognised many of the others from later sampled songs. I enjoyed 'Thinking of You' the most, as well as 'He's The Greatest Dancer' and the title track of course.

Groovy, nice mix of slow and upbeat songs

Had me boppin and movin at my desk. Boogie woogie tushy for sure.

funk my weak spot

When you imagine disco, this sound is what you think of. Not many disco albums don't have a single filler track, and this is nearly one of them.

Copado mismo jajaj

Another classic. Reminds me of the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates World Series champions

Great easy listening 70s vibe

okay

Surprisingly full of absolute bangers.

Yo I know disco is dead but like this was really fun dancy music. Considered giving this a 3 but its pretty enjoyable so rating it higher

Decent for a disco album!

Fabulous. This is one of the first albums I acquired on vinyl from a record store in the same shopping center as a pretzel place. Anyways.. the album is so much more than the title track. The first two songs are disco standards and “Thinking of You” is a personal favorite. 4/5 I recommend the Dimitri from Paris remix of “Lost in Music” as well.

Super funky album. Disco wasn't so bad huh?

Really funky, good tunes there. 4/5

Yes! Love! 4. Thinking of you best track. Banger after banger

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Now I know where so many samples come from.

Got me dancing ;)

Sad I had never listened to this. What fantastic classics

Was really getting into this one, some classic tunes

We are family and thinking of you are clearly the most groovy songs...love the overall album tone and all basslines are dope! --- Perfect to listen the entire album in one go

Simple and appealing with groovy bass lines that you can dance to.

Solid soul/disco album, plenty of smash hits on this 4*

was ok

A classic album. Nile Rogers in peak songwriting and producing form. So many disco classics which you’ll still hear at least one of on any given night out and will always bring the vibes no matter the sort of club you’re in. The Dimitri From Paris remixes are also pure fire.

Another album that got played twice during the day. So many classics! Nile Rodgers creating a legacy for himself, Sister Sledge and an entire genre.

When I listen to disco music I like to pretend I’m Matt Damon trying to escape from Mars. I enjoyed this a lot more than just the one hit I only hear at weddings.

most of this album is pretty catchy

Fucking great, and I don’t care

Bastante bueno.

Highlights - He's The Greatest Dancer, You're a friend to me Lowlights - Somebody Loves Me (too long), We Are Family The title track, in my opinion is the weakest of the bunch, and Somebody Loves Me is long and repetitious...But the rest of this album is fantastic, especially when you're gettin' jiggy with the Greatest Dancer. This is pure R&B/disco joy.

Então esse é o famoso We Are Family?? Loucura, muito bacana as músicas mas meio coisa que eu não iria ouvir intencionalmente.

Me ha gustado mucho la cancion de We are Family

Varios temazos de bailoteo

A goddamn CLASSIC. I always associated We Are Family with Motown; come to find out they are from Philadelphia. Still a great album.

funky af, nice finding. that easier to love track is a delight (even thogh my apple music likes to act and cut some tracks)

Beautiful, groovy, funky & sexy.

Had no idea "We are Family" was on this album

just what i needed today... fun album

Oooh baby, disco riffs to kick things off. Not upset about that. This is bringing me to the 'gettin' jiggy with it' era that followed in the 90s, and the disco revitalization (Get Lucky) that came afterwards. I don't know how much these sisters get credit as pioneers, but maybe the OG disco music isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be. And yes, I still hate the title track - credit that to being overplayed I guess. Now time to listen to Poolside's Daytime Disco playlist for the next 10 hours.

This is music from when I had a drive-in disco. Disco, among with a lot of other music styles, is still one of my favorite music styles. It was nice to listen to this album. I had not listened to it as an album but I know all the songs of the album. If I would go through my single collection I know I have some singles of ‘Sister Sledge’ there. I really liked the remixes.

Knew many of them. I'd say like 7/10

Great album, but so many disco hits it feels like a disco compilation. Amazing talent

Funky!

Can beat a bit of disco. Stone cold classics. Love the extra remixs

Funky album for a Friday!
