Maggot Brain

Title track goes so hard I can get with this Funky but also nightmare nightmare nightmare Closer echos the opener

Glad I listened to this. Probably never listen to it again but there are far worse albums on this list.

This is a cool album. Not that listenable, but good.

could i write poetry to this? n

Good.

Very funky

Fue divertido de escuchar pero me hizo sonidos raros al final.

It had fun noises

Not my thing

This wasn't what I expected at all. Loved the raunchy guitar throughout. But this lacks songs you would want to hear over and over

Funky und wenig Text

maggot brain can you get to that

non so cosa mi aspettassi, ma sicuro non quello che ho appena ascoltato. un grande boh? sono molto confusa

Um…okay? Non so perché mi aspettavo mi cambiasse la vita

This is the 3rd George Clinton album I've had in a month, but it was probably my least favorite. The opener Maggot Brain is pretty good and I swear I was listening to Hendrix in it with how expressive the guitar was. But the rest of the album didn't really strike me a funk album and was pretfy different from what I expected. I knew the riff in Can You Get To That, which was cool. I like what this group will become more than I like this album.

It was pretty good, lots of instruments and some various vocals too. It’s Halloween-ish and very psychedelic. 6.5/10 overall. Would recommend to at least give it a try.

Maggot brain is a cool song, the rest is a bit too funky for me

Groove and samples galore.

Five Sly-and-the-Family-Stone-style pop funk songs bookended by a ten minute guitar solo and a ten minute psychedelic freak out. Now, the five pop funk songs are solid and the guitar solo had its moments, but I think this album may be a bit overrated. I have always liked Parliament Funkadelic, but I have never loved them. This album does nothing to change that opinion.

10 min iconic guitar jam

There was a lot more rock than funk than I was expecting, at least early in the album. Which is a good thing because I'm not usually totally sold on funk and I enjoyed most of it. Solid album and lots of good stuff going on throughout and plenty to like.

I was excited to hear this one, I had it in mind that Funkadelic were in some way mindblowing, but in reality I didn't feel this way at all. Kinda dull to be honest.

Really interesting lore behind the ultimate band, Parliament-Funkadelic. The most interesting song musically was Back in Our Minds. My favorite song was the opener, Maggot Brain. Pretty good overall!

610

Except opening track, not much. Then good again, then bad, then cool...

I will definitely listen to this again. I was familiar with Can You Get to That. Great song. More varied musically than I expected.

Fuuuuunky

Es un gran sonido, de verdad lo es, pero no es mi sonido. No me imagino una circunstancia en que busque este disco, capaz, puedo hacerlo para una reunión, pero no más.

Liked the album. Didn’t like the title.

I was in a bad mood before I put this on and this album helped me feel better. I had my eyes closed and I felt like I was having a dream . I've always wanted to listen to this having seen my friends listening to it. My favourite song was 'back in our minds' The guitar was striking I'm not sure I've ever felt a guitar quite like how I did listening to this

Fun album. Better than a 3 but not a 4

it was good but it kind of freaked me out

I really enjoy this album, they really tell a story with just the guitar sounds

Heavy "funk." Like a long jam session. Probably wouldn't include on my playlist, but kind of fun. "Psychedelic funk" is a good descriptor.

oh man, this album...well maybe not the whole album but that first song is incredible!! I say maybe not the whole album because I haven't listened to the whole thing before. I don't even remember how or where it was that I heard the Maggot Brain track but it is so awesome!! I'm excited to hear this today. It's a 10 min track with an interesting intro. The lyrics are so strange. Well there are only 7 tracks out of 10 on that album available on Spotify. The rest were okay. Nothin like that first one. So I'll give it 3 stars.

3/5

I just struggle with mostly instrumental music. Idk. It seems good but it’s not for me

Maggot Brain is good, the rest forgettable.

So ahead of its time. Maggot Brain is a psychadelic, cosmic anthem.

Okay

pretty cool, some nice hendrix-esque guitar

Just mediocre.

Exactly. Funkadelic

Pretty cool, 3.5.

It was fine but similar to a lot of other rock funk groups. It had a lot of Jimi Hendrix vibes, with the lead singer even sounding like him. Wars of Armageddon, I get was supposed to be sounds competing, but it was just unpleasant to listen to.

Really enjoyed. Great funk sound and can move to the rhythm the whole time.

As unattractive as the title is, the album is pretty good. The style mixed with the title really combined together to bring the word "Nasty" to the front of my mind ---and this is the good kind of Nasty. Favorite track "Maggot Brain" 3/5

Title track is unreal. Rest of the album is surprisingly a bit mid.

Ok

Hendrix was very influential to the makers of this album. If you like Hendrix this is for you Like being in Harlem in 1972. Reminded me of a 1960/70s stage show like 'Hair' Innervisions by Stevie Wonder is more funky. This must be 'delic' then.

Some really cool stuff on here, but eventually too meandering for me. 3.2

This just SOUNDS like early funk and soul to me. I'd never heard of this band before but I can understand how this would be influential. Not something I'd return to but it was an interesting listen nonetheless.

um album perfeito para a época que foi lançado. é realmente uma psicodélica que te faz viajar numa manhã de segunda, você se sente envolvido pela mistura de sons e quando vê já está no f

i was like "this sounds like jimi hendrix" and then it was

Super down to listen to this. I love R&B/Soul. I don't listen to enough of it. I need to add more to my pallet. Was not expecting track 1 to be a full-on guitar solo. Pretty decent.

Upee kansi. Aika minimalistinen meno - pidän kovasti, se yllätti.

funky, enjoyable. okayish.

MAGGOT BRAIN Maggot Brain - I think this song is very nice. The guitar goes rather hard, indubitably. The words at the start are also very provoking. 5/5 Can You Get To That - Very funky, makes me super happy and hopeful to be honest, despite the lyrics being quite the opposite. Really living up to their name with this one. 4.5/5 Hit It and Quit It - Please don't shake it all around like that. 4/5 You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks - Yeah yeah yeah this song is pretty good, nice positive commentary yeah yeah yeah. 4/5 Super Stupid - This one is a little bit irritating honestly, also too long for what it is. I still really like the guitar and keyboard though. 3/5 Back In Our Minds - The jaw harp hurts my ears I do not appreciate this. 1/5 Wars of Armageddon - Why did they do this, it makes me sad. I do not like the screechiness or all the speaking. 2/5 OVR: 3/5 I feel like it ends way too poorly.

Was on in the background while I did the dishes. Provided a pleasant and funky atmosphere. I couldn't help myself but to wipe my dishes in accordance with the music. This piece of art is so influential, I grew an afro whilst in its embrace.

I heavily favour the Parliament side of the Parliament-Funkadelic coin, but with that being said this album is a great one if you like 10-minuts guitarsolos and instruments overlapping heavily. The 7-songs album for me was kinda hard to get through, but in the end I liked it more and more. I liked the roughness in the vocals and the edginess of the drums. Overall experience was good, and I see why it has made the list, but 10-minuts guitarsolos is a couple minuts too much for my style.

Maggot Brain is 5/5. Absolute beast of a track. I will probably be using this to benchmark new headphones/speakers in the future. The rest of the album is ok. Very forgettable. Short enough to not become annoying. Inclined to give it 4 stars, but honestly, my enjoyment of this album solely hinges on a single song, which is rather bad when considering it as a complete piece of art.

Viihdyttävä setti ja kokoonpano pelaa hienosti yhteen.

The combination of prodigious and guitar virtuosity, coupled with similarly virtuoso drumming, can be both mesmerising and annoying. I think this strays into the latter. The clunky production and addition of household sounds is more, well, clunky than pink floyd esque. At times this felt like the sound track of a blaxploitation movie from the early 70s, which makes sense I suppose.

fun 2.9/5

3.5 wished it was more funky

Super freaky interesting album. Glad I listened.

Some of the tracks sounded like unplanned jam sessions.

not my vibe

Funkadelic is legendary in so many ways. When I saw them in concert it was probably one of the best live shows I’d ever seen. This album has some bops on it: You and Your Folks; Can You Get To That; Super Stupid. James Brown may have started funk but Funkadelic perfected it!

It was ok

They really dropped the ball with Wars of Armageddon. I was about to give 4 stars until then.

First listen Saved 4/7 Top track: Maggot Brain

Title track is epic, but the rest doesn't do much for me. Was thinking about a 3 until the fucking fart noises at the end. Definitely prefer Parliament

Maggot brain - loved this Can you get to that - good Hit it and quit it - meh You and your folks- ok Super stupid - good Back in our minds -nopeee Wars of Armageddon -meh 3/5

Das Album hat mir sehr viel Spass gemacht. Ich finde die Gitarre super.

This was a fun listen

Não consigo entender o appeal da primeira e última músicas, muito longas e sem muita coisa a se comunicar, apesar da primeira ainda ter momentos bons. Fora isso, um álbum interessante e divertido mas não muito memorável Fav tracks: Can You Get To That, Hit It And Quit It Least fav track: Wars Of Armageddon

Cool but kind of scary

Some bright bits but not my overall favourite.

Liked this a lot. Good funk rock jammin'!

Fart sounds?

Unusual. Different. Funky. It’s not really my thing but I enjoyed it well enough.

Bara nokku gott!!

Desconcertante. 3/5.

ok, but wouldn't seek it out

Enjoyable

Great funk album and musically they were really good at what they were doing, though I expected to like it more. It was perhaps a bit monotonous or perhaps a bit spontaneous? I don't know.

#152. They really drop you off in the deep end with this one, huh? The rest of the album is solid enough, but the song Maggot Brain fucks for sure. 3/5: decent

It's good. Not my thing necessarily. Some ideas seem a bit underdeveloped

Distinctly average

Too much noodling on most of these songs. When the first track is over 10 minutes long for no reason i'm already rolling my eyes. No denying great musicians etc but boring album.

Blues rock, Hendrix ish

A funk classic

It was alright

Intro guitar solo is pretty good. Kinda odd for a funk album. "Can You Get To That" is sampled pretty heavily on the Sleigh Bells hit "Ring Ring". I enjoyed "Super Stupid". This album was a good middle ground for me. I think it has potential to grow on me.

This was exciting and funky except the final song which had some jarring screeching and disgusting sounds. Stand-out: Super Stupid

Need a re-listen.

Pretty solid funk album. It got a little bit monotonous though.

ganz cool

Definitely funky. I like it. The use of random fart noises and other unusual sounds makes me reconsider my thought that anything can be used to create music.

Meh

Forgettable middle. Good start and finish.

Det har visat sig att jag ändå tycker rätt så mycket om funk-musik! Hela albumet hade en bra vibe med bra sångare och instrument! Min favoritlåt från albumet var ”Hit and quit” Albumet får av mig 3/5 stjärnor. Det hade fått mer om låten ”Wars of Armageddon” existerade.

Interesting sounds in this one

Guitar solo goes Brrr

Not bad but some of the background noises just really got under my skin

Rocking funk, plus a little weird- I like

Funky, origineel en OG

Niet zo funky als de naam en cover doen vermoeden helaas

Niet echt slecht, maar zeker ook niet geweldig. Beetje chaotisch en druk ook wel

Funky as you like in parts but a bit hot and miss. Title track was the low point. Got better from there on in

Funk it up! Totally could feel the energy of that era…. I appreciated the “let’s all get along” vibes … this funk slaps and I can dig it ✊🏼

This is what I can only imagine a bad trip feels like. I appreciate the experimental nature of the music. But 2 minutes of fart noises and coughing? Come on guys.

It was okayish I guess. Felt kind of empty for my taste.

Two iconic songs followed up by lesser quality. Significant sound choices tho keep this an excellent album.

More rock/funk. Starts out kind of slow, which I don't like in a funk record, and definitely is more in line with the weirder side of funk. Still cool, though. Very weird, especially at the end.

Kann man gut nebenbei hören.

The first track is great but had me wondering if the digital files got mixed up with another album. The second track quickly verified it was correct.

Mixed bag here. I enjoyed the middle of the album more than expected--I've never really sought out funk music, but this was good. The first track was itself a mixed bag, and the last track decidedly did NOT work for me. Sometimes the experimental track on an album is transcendent, but sometimes it's just noise.

The title track is probably the best funk/rock instrumental ever, and then there’s some other songs which range from fine to solid. I feel like Funkadelic were at a point in their career similar to Black Sabbath at Paranoid: coming from psychedelic/blues roots, this was the album where they really began to develop their sound that made them famous. Oddly enough though, I felt like Parliament releases contain their funkier side where Funkadelic releases are more experimental rock. Definitely not my favorite Funkadelic/Parliament/George Clinton/Bootsy Collins/etc. album, there’s a handful of Parliament albums I prefer along with One Nation Under a Groove (which contains a bonus EP with a live version of “Maggot Brain”). A lot of Maggot Brain feels like a fusion of James Brown and Jimi Hendrix, with a little Miles Davis thrown in. Further on in Parliament/Funkadelic’s career, I don’t think I can rightfully compare them to anyone; they’re the ones who get imitated, not the other way around.

"Funkadelic"... das sagt alles.

If the first or last track had been made by a bunch of public school boys from Hertfordshire it would be called overblown prog wankery. It's OK.

Good liked the last song, kinda like a Can album but American Aoife: I like how it opens like a slow dance. The guitar is incredible, which isn't something I normally vibe with, but they did a good job of making it feel like it's boring holes through my brain. The vocals/lyrics are kinda just 70s funk, kinda generic. I prefer the instrumental tracks by a mile. Woah, the bells moving through your ear canals feels wild. The album art is brilliant, feels like it would still be cool today. The way it's lit really makes it stand out.

the music is good and definitely belongs on this list, but this album wasn’t really my thing so i don’t think i’d listen to it again. plus the first and last songs stretched on too long for me.

It was pretty good at first but as the album went on it got more and more meh.

Guitar solo your momma died - breathtaking breath Acid rock reigns hard

3.5 while i do appreciate this album stylistically, i wish i connected to it more. maybe with more listens i will, but i don’t see my self coming back to it all that often

I have listened to this album before and honestly I thought I liked it more than I did this time. Some good guitar playing sure but goes on too long for my tastes.

This was pretty entertaining. Turns out I like a little funk in my life.

Lot of random sounds in that last track, impressive that they somehow managed to incorporate a cuckoo clock in a rock jam.

Not my cup of tea! Mostly perfectly fine funk.

This album really encapsulates the essence of 1971, or at least how I imagine it. It's kind of a strange album, with two extended instrumental pieces bookcase five very different songs. It also has a fairly epic ending with a coo-coo clock, fart noises, and a nuclear explosion. It's all nicely funky, though, and that's what holds it together.

"Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic, released in 1971, is a seminal album that epitomizes the fusion of funk, rock, and psychedelic elements. At the core of the album is the iconic title track, a ten-minute guitar solo by Eddie Hazel, showcasing emotive and innovative musicianship. While "Maggot Brain" is celebrated for its adventurous sound, the album's overall coherence might feel somewhat fragmented. The range of styles, from the soulful "Can You Get to That" to the experimental "Wars of Armageddon," can make for a slightly disjointed listening experience. Awarding a balanced 3/5, "Maggot Brain" is undeniably influential and contains moments of brilliance. However, its diversity may not resonate equally with all listeners, making it an album appreciated more for its individual parts than its overall cohesion.

Good mixture of songs, well aligned

Vanvittig intro. Ved anden sang skulle jeg lige tjekke at min afspiller ikke var på shuffle, fordi der var pludseligt Sleigh Bells i ørene.. Synes at Maggot Brain sangen er den som stikker mest ud, alt andet er rimelig ligetil rock

Mto curto, 19 min de solo.

Interesante pero no de mis favoritos

I like the groove of this album. The musicians are solid. Not something I would choose to listen to but I'm glad I heard it.

Although I liked it, I found the music grating at times

album five maggot brain: 1.5/5 can you get to that: 3.5/5 hit it and quit it: 4/5 you and your folks, me and my folks: 3.5/5 super stupid: 4.5/5 back in our minds: 4/5 wars of armageddon: 2/5 the first and the last song we’re not that great, but that could just be because i’m not a fan of long songs. the other ones were good tho. it’s honestly hard to rate this, because i want to give it a 5 but the two songs just really hold it down :( favorite: super stupid

Þetta var spes. Mikið gítarrúnk til að byrja með en datt svo aðeins í fönkið. Fínasta fínt bara.

Hafði lúmskt gaman af þessu fönkrokki. Allskonar hljóð og slatti af kúabjöllu, sem ég elska. Fyrsta lagið hins vegar of mikið gítarrúnk fyrir mig.

Enjoyed the album. Really funky vibes

1960s soulful electric guitar , 1st song excellent. Generally, OG black power vibe

really great instrumentals, lyrics were quirky

Oh I loved the opening track but it kind of became forgettable as i progressed, maybe i need to listen to it again

Was decent. Learned some interpolations I didn’t know were a thing. Got into an accident listening to this album so I enjoyed it less

An oddly paced funk album. Out of the other funk albums on this list, this one blends into the background. Nothing very memorable about it; mostly instrumentals.

3.5+

I really liked the first track very pl. I'd if it was before. Pretty cool album tho

Brilliance, stupidity, weirdness

fun album i listened to this year a bit already

3/5 stars Liked the first few tracks - definitely groovy. Last track on the album just weird - I don’t like fart/cat crying noises in my music.

111223 18:15 3.5

3 mostly instrumental

Yeah it was all right

The best rock funk fusion I've heard so far

funkAY

maybe i don't get this? it was fun and upbeat but didn't really capture my attention. definitely need to give it another listen

Hyvä!

Trop de solo pour moi Fun 2.5/5

J'ai bien aimé (surtout la première) mais pour la plupart on dirait juste l'épisode de Friends avec Ross et son clavier électronique.

Decent, but not quite my jam

Terrific funk classic.

Funk is not for me, but this whimsical, experimental album was a fun listen!

Funkadelic for sure. Not bad but I couldn't take a while album in one sitting. Good as part of a playlist.

Most of the album was nice and would have received 4 stars, but the last track sounded like a child found those random sound buttons on a Cassio. 3 stars.

This wasn’t as funky as I was expecting. And the first track was out of place. The play list that came on after was fab though

Origin of the phrase "hit it and quit it"? Might be my favorite track on the album though. The album is an experience to put it mildly. Some good early funk mixed in with the weirdest sound effects and lyrics that could be chosen. It feels more like a concept to an album than a complete album. I love George Clinton, but the stuff he would go on to do with Parliament Funkadelic is much better. Same deal for pretty much every member of the band, doubly so for Hendrix

Pretty weird album, liked it but didn’t love it. Ahead of its time, ahead of me.

couple of fun songs

Listened 11/3/23. Long time favorite.

Good tracks 3 & 4 BAD tracks 6 & 7

I swear i've heard other funkadelic albums that i liked better

What a wild album. Had no expectations going in, probably for the best. I probably need some more time with it, but I would say that there's a lot of good material here. Pretty funky

Heard this a few months ago for the first time. Really enjoyable disc. Best of the original funkadelic albums

10 minutes of drugged-out guitar tricks followed by 26 minutes of the funk. Feeling counts for more here than formal song structure, but when the bass is this meaty and the groove is this unrelenting, let the good times roll.

Great listen but not memorable tracks

Savage, wild grooves

It took six albums to encounter one that I knew and saved in my Spotify albums. I truly love the first track, which is a masterpiece, but the rest is mediocre.

Imagino que se eu vivesse nos anos 80 e fosse na casa de um amigo de um primo meu e ele me mostrasse esse álbum, eu ia me sentir um jovem revolucionário. mas não me parece nada de extraordinário. Apenas Maggot Brain e Wars of Armaggedon me chamaram atenção

Lenny Kravitz must have listened to this as a kid. Zappa inspired.

Pretty great rifts. Would listen to again

- the first song was a magical journey, very Jimmy Hendrix esque - a couple cool moments but otherwise nothing that blew me away

Always fun finding out that a modern song used a sample, in this case Sleigh Bells.

Está weno, medio psicodelico pero a gusto para de fondo

number 1 is amazingggg heard it before somewhere. the rest is ok

Solid

just the right amount of funk

Not bad.

Some fun songs, but couldn't get into the rest of the album.

Funky

Not my genre, but still some good songs in it.

Interesting album, some great sample possibilities, little too psychedelic for sustained listening for me.

Well, that was funky.

eh

About a minute in a guitar solo plays and it hits. I'm excited for the rest

This will be my second listen to this album - I heard amazing things, but thought it was good not amazing. Hoping it’ll hit me harder the second time around. It’s good but same reaction. Superb guitar work, but didn’t tickle my spots the same way other albums have. Nothing I want to listen to more than once to be honest

I expected something even more of the experimental extravaganza. I'm definitely not saying it is bad. Instrumental albums are very important to me. 3.5/5.

I like Funk in small doses, I've learned.

fint i spilakvöld

Great, makes you lose yourself to the rhythm. (74%)

Funky, very special, not always so catchy. Sometimes hard to listen to.

Maggot Brain: awesome epic loved it, added it CYGTT: fine just fine Hit it quit it: getting better but just not a fav And your folks…: not memorable at all Super Stupid : fun, added Back in our minds : ugh Wars of Armageddon : CRYING BABY disgusting Rating : 3

Not my style but it’s good

Surprisingly good

More psychadelia than Clinton's trademark p-funk but pretty good nonetheless. I had never heard the title track and was very pleasantly surprised.

Really enjoyed the first song but the rest didn't hit as hard. Maybe if I had listened a few more times I'd find more interest in the rest of the tracks.

Nowhere near the same league as Parliament's Mothership Connection which introduced me to this band. This is all OK, but never really hits the same level of funk.

Fun and nostalgic. Great guitar riffs

It was better than I remember it.

quite enjoyed this, great first track, the rest a bit forgettable

Funky funky jams

This is some pretty sweet funk

A very interesting funk sound. Love the drum play newr the end so much

Crazy fun funk.

Whoever mixed this album forgot about my left ear. Still a pretty good album. Silly, even. Sad that the bonus tracks are unavailable on Spotify, but it still ends on PussyFarts. 3.5/5. Wish we could give half ratings on this app.

Pretty funky stuff, but wasn't massively sucked into it like some of the Parliament stuff. The title track was best I think.

It's a genre I'm not used to listening to but it still sounds good, brings good vibes, and could be good for just playing in my room in the background. However, the songs kind of drag out too long for me to go and listen to any songs again or put them in my playlists.

2/7, 29%

Mega solo de guit à la 1ere toune. Vraiment moins funky qu'anticipé. Je voulais vrmt être hype, mais moins mémorable que prévu. (2.5).

This truly was a funky album with plenty of psychedelic vibes, which comes as no surprise considering its arrival at the turn of the decade. There is lots of outstanding guitar work in here, too! While I won't necessarily say this album blew me away, it was certainly an interesting and fun listen!

Not huge fan of the first song, but the album itself was funky. Not a bad listen.

Catchy disco vibes

trippy!

pretty good, my introduction to Funkadelic, started really nice

love the farting sounds at the end...

Get-a-down, get-a-funnkeeeeee!

Decent funk album

The first and last songs were just so weird but interesting. I liked it much more than I thought I would. I think if there had been something more I would give a 4, but this is a pleasant 3.

Maggot brain - Can you get - 3.8/5 Hit it and quit it - 3.8/5 You and your folks, me and my folks - 3.9/5 Super stupid - 3.8/5 Back in our mind - 3.6/5 Wars of Armageddon - 3.6/5

3/7

It was good, not memorable at all for me.

Much more rock than I was expecting

3/5. Not my favorite Funkadelic but some of the songs still jam.

Wouldn’t be my choice but for a 1971 album this contains a surprising blend of influences and musicianship. Probably a good band to have seen live.

This was great!

Mmmm maggoty

the early songs are really cool but this is another one that devolves into noise 3.5

A beautiful mix of funk and psychedelic grooves and with enough dirty liks to make me do the stank face on a few occasions well done. Parts made me think it was birthed out of a sweaty love between Jimi Hendrix and Santana. I could defiantly get into more of this.

Trevligt omslag och välspelat. Kanske bättre än vad jag tycker just nu.

nice 3.8

Some of the songs had fantastic guitar, but it was balanced out by the weird noises they decided to include.

Not particularly memorable.

Funky

Jam funk.

This is a very groovy album. Most of the guitar work is pretty nice and the drums are dynamic enough. The problem is I don’t find much of it very interesting, they all kind of blend together. It doesn’t help that two 10 minute songs start and end the album and then the rest are just clashed in the middle that barely up 15 minutes. It feels too short a lot of the time. Overall it’s not horrible though and it has its good moments but this definitely isn’t a favorite.

At times brilliant and at times just weird as hell. The musicianship is fantastic, particularly that of Eddie Hazel.

не сказать что запомнила, но не напряг. неее поняла почему спотифай показывал слова к тайтл треку а я их так и не услышала там

Snazzy but I'm not cool enough to like the first song

3?

Score: 60 The first track isn't really great because it's mixed in such a way that the white noise hissing is very loud. The last track isn't great because it's crying babies, animals yelping and loud wet farts set to a funky beat. All the other tracks are good which leaves you with 15 minutes of good music. Very cool. 50 years later and everyone is still racist and farting

Det är vad det är

Very Hendrix. Straight ahead funk rock. Unnecessary sound effect noodling son Armageddon and Back In Our Minds is the weakest song. High 3 - good.

So George Clinton says to Eddie Hazel, play your guitar like your mother just died so we got this 10 minute minor masterpiece. The rest of the album is uneven and not very cohesive unfortunately. The album is book-ended by another 10 min opus, Wars of Armageddon that was supposedly recorded when Clinton was high on LSD - and it sounds like it, full of crazy lyrics, and fart sounds. More pussy to the people!

shred in the first song is insane, the distortion and the reverb is crazy the rest was kinda mid, not as good as the opening track

Меня чуть не вырвало (в прямом смысле) от стереоэффектов в первом треке, мой мозг слегка поехал не туда. В целом звучит прикольно, вспомнились недавно прослушанные Bluesbreakers, только с более протяжным звучанием, более лаконичными аранжировками и женским вокалом. Ладно, хреновое сравнение, но мне кажется, посыл у музыки тот же: музыка свободного народа или что-то в этом духе. После второго трека сравнение можно точно выбросить, в музыкальном плане это совсем-совсем другое. Здесь уже какой-то джаз-свинг пошёл. Мне вот только не нравится, что записаны барабаны как-то странно... Вот эта "дискретизация" ритм-секции чёт мееее. Не, ну с жанром здесь вообще тяжело. И регги есть, и хард-рок, и вот эта первая экспериментальная композиция. Каждый раз, после того, как я составляю своё мнение об альбоме, я иду читать отзывы профессиональных (надеюсь) критиков на Википедию и тд; восторгаются первой тягомотиной с всратым стерео. То ли я быдлан, то ли там (в музыкальных редакциях) сидят люди с проф.деформацией и завядшими ушами. Сложно, сложно. 3/5, потому что это явно хуже предыдущего альбома и по вайбу, и по качеству сведения. К тому же, мы не очень подружились с заглавным треком: "встречают по одежке"

Вначале напомнило стереотипный хор в США (факт не даёт отрицательных очков альбому), но после середины чёт не оч и даже пердёж не спас. 3+

I've listened to this one a few times over the years, and it is definitely groundbreaking. However the second half just drags for me for some reason. The first half is just fantastic though.

1971. Can You Get To That, Hit It and Quit It, You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks

Might not be into it right now but it’s very interesting.

Fun and interesting - will probably listen to a couple songs again

Ok

J'ai très rarement entendu un album aussi funkadélique que celui-ci, le dernier en date étant celui de Sinclair.

L'album commençait sur de belles promesses grâce à d'excellentes guitares, qui seront malheureusement vite remplacées par des cuillères, egorgements de femmes, chats et autres bruits de pets.

Some werd spacy funky rockin stuff

Fun!

I like it, I respect it, but I wouldn’t search it out.

Dobar je album, ali ne toliko koliko ga ljudi dižu. Prva stvar je najbolja, ovo ostalo je dobro. I koji kurac je sa zadnjom stvari? Pred kraj sa prdežima? Prva stvar > sve ostalo. 3.5

This is an album I'll never listen to again, basically someone fucking about on a guitar for 30mins. While I did enjoy parts of the guitar work, the album as a whole was not that interesting. Highlights were "Hit it and Quit it" and "Maggot Brain".

Solid funk rock album. Good grooves here, but both the long bookend tracks are a bit too much psyche for me. Not terrible, but not amazing.

lo mejor el solo de 10 minutazos de Maggot Brain

Solid 70s funk. Pretty much by definition. Took a strange turn with all the farts at the end.

Rock leaning, which isn’t my thing. But can appreciate the conscious lyrics.

Прикольный фанк-альбом, но кроме заглавной композиции, он не показался чем-то примечательным (хотя ритмические рисунки в нём цепляют здорово).

I mean it's alright. Can't ever imagine think ooh I must listen to Maggot Brain. If I was 30 years younger and wasted I'd probably feel different but it's just not the kind of music that features in my life anymore. 2½ out of 5.

Helluva opening; this stereo, fuzzy wah guitar tone would make both Hendrix and Jerry Cantrell drool. The rest of the album was ok; fun to listen to, but didn't necessarily keep me engaged. Very nice as background music, just not a lot there for active listening.

Liked parts of this quite a bit, but overall a little same-y. 3.49/5

great

not bad

First half was badass, psychedelic, funky and experimental jams. The last few songs were just sounds, alarm clocks and bells dinging. Overall I did enjoy listening and will be adding some George Clinton to my playlists.

Resten är helt bra men det sku va bättre om det var bara gitarrsolo i 36 min

Fuck a ballick

I need a documentary or long-form explanation of how Parliament, Funkadelic, P-Funk, et. al. intertwine, but for the moment, I'll voice a generalized impression that the whole Funkadelic universe was more influential and impactful than it gets credit for. I heard so many elements that seemed to filter into later music — Sly and The Family Stone and James Brown and others deserve similar credit, as well (and get it) — and George Clinton has a singular ability to make a record sound like a party. With a funky backbeat. I think a 3-star rating is under selling this album, but it was hampered by the opening title track, which I didn't really get the point of, and my need to listen more (and more intently) to the songs to really appreciate what's going on here.

Not the Funkadelic vibe I expected but I enjoyed nonetheless. Had I played this album outside of this experiment, it’s likely I would have abandoned the album on the first song simply because it lacks the hard funk I expect from Funkadelic. Like most, I put on George Clinton and I want to get funked up. But sticking with it I got to You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks and deemed it my favorite track on the album. This album came out on my 4th birthday. I wonder if I caught it on any airwaves back then?

First off, I have heard and loved some of Eddie Hazel's solo work before, but had no idea that he was part of Funkadelic. That explains some of the excellent guitar work such as on Super Stupid. Unfortunately, a lot of the superb guitar work gets lost in the subpar production. Unfortunately, this duality holds true for my entire opinion on Maggot Brain. There are some really fantastic tracks that I feel absolutely deserve 5 stars such as Super Stupid, but then also very annoying/unpleasant parts such as the last two tracks. 3.5 stars for me. Easy 4 if the production were better and easy 5 if the last two tracks would live up to the previous ones along with better production.

Funkadelic is Pink Floyd for people who are really tired of the fact that Pink Floyd has only like two songs you can actually dance to. I know it's the most divisive track on the album, but I absolutely love "Wars of Armageddon". It's such an absolute trainwreck of a song, that only a genius could have pulled it off. Singing "Power of the pussy" followed by a solid minute of fart sound effects? Genius. Without a single shred of irony. The title track "Maggot Brain" is crazy as well. That guitar solo could bring a skeleton back to life. That being said, I'm not the biggest fan of songs 2 through 6, they're clearly very well made but just not for me. Lacking in the fart sound effect department.

Honestly this seemed a little half baked to me. George Clinton is a legitimate genius so obviously there is still a lot in it, but I definitely not at the top of my list as far as his output goes.

They know how to groove and bring the funk - I was expecting more from this though, ended up feeling underwhelmed.

Was not expecting the absolute prog intro guitar song. Definitely went on about 3 mins too long but sounded neat. Rest of the tracks tracked a bit more of what I expected, but overall very nice psych-funk-rock in the tradition of Parliament and a bit of Hendrix. The repetition of the titles and lyrically swirling around that is kind of fun, not typical anymore. They’re all having a good ole time for sure.

Starts strong, then kinda meh

Weird - besides the over wrought two songs that bookend this record, the rest is solid funk tracks that stand the test of time. Pity that the psychedelic noise fest bring this otherwise fine record down.

Nice discovery for me, title track was quite a trip and the rest of the album was some nice funk.

Initially I was skeptical when the weird spoken intro to the title track started but that was quickly dispelled by the epicness of the rest of it. The other tracks on the album stand in weird contrast with nothing really notable. Wars of Armageddon tries to recapture some of the feel of Maggot Brain but wrecks it with the bizarre pussy lyrics.

More rock than funk

funky

Very funky

This is so different and so interesting to listen to! I find it different than One Nation Under A Groove. Does not make me want to get up and move in the way that album does. How did they get away with using sketchy language in that era? Maggot brain is a strange title and the cover is a little scary. Have not yet discovered if there is some symbolism there. A little grating to the ears at times but some parts are nice in an interesting way to listen to. You find yourself thinking, what will they do next?

Funky

kind of fun music. But not something to put on speakers.
