Maggot Brain

I wasn't too fond of this. Not sure why this is even on the list to be honest.

I like the vibe but the music just doesn’t do it for me. Too many meandering jam tracks, and the rest of it doesn’t feel memorable

2,5

Not sure

Title song is great obviously More farts than most albums on the list

Ok background music, but not really for me.

Maybe need to be drunk and brooding to appreciate it more

I didn’t care much for this one

Cool dance music cluttered with cacophonic nonsense.

Legendary guitar solo.

Clearly the minority opinion here but I was very disappointed by this album.

Would I listen to it again: yes Is it a no-skip album: no Do I like it: ok

I don't understand how this is any good.

Reißt mich nicht vom Hocker, ist aber keine schlechte Musik.

Maggot Brain: gets a little too quiet and boring halfway through. Super Stupid: I've heard this before! I like it but I don't love it. It's not all there. It feels like part of a great song. Wars of Armageddon: has farting noises for a while; very strange.

Not a fan…

Better than I expected.

- can you get to that - back in our minds

I like funk and this album was a fun listen but definitely let me wanting more in comparison to other Funkadelic and Parliments music.

one song was ok

If I ever considered rating this higher, the screaming cats on the final track killed that thought.

For such a short album, it takes ages to get going. The first 2/3 seems to be just about it finding its way, then right when you finally want more it’s over! 1.8

Better than a funk album should be. Still nothing more than background music

Funky indeed, but also crap

Funky album that sounds a bit like an acid trip would sound

I found this to be annoying. First track is ok, but too long, and the album fades from there.

Loved the first song, Maggot Brain. The guitar licks reminded me of Jimi Hendrix. The rest of the album felt repetitive and at times cacophonous.

Fucked up funky music, but not bad, but not my cup of tea either

I bet seeing them play this live was an awesome experience. I wasn’t sure where we were going with the 10 minute instrumental right off the bat, but I liked the rest of the album.

Uskovat, että funkista tulee maksaa hinta raskaudella ja teknisyydellä. Miksi?

Not really my thing though it was okay for background listening whilst working. Most likely a one and done listen.

Very noisy, experimental and free form. Felt primal. Could be a great soundtrack for an LSD trip

Not very mind blowing

Overall didn't like this. Quite an original concept but of its time nevertheless. A couple of tracks were a little Hendrixesque, especially vocally. Overall not really my thing.

Not bad, sometimes interesting, but sometimes kinda boring to me. 2.5/5

Not for me.

Essentially like it but too much of it is just too weird for me

Nothing special

Expected it to be funky, but leaned more Hendrix-esque rock

Beat Keller, billiger Fusel, es reichte Bach Hasch und leere Spritzen liegen in den dreckigen stinkenden Sanitärräumen. Im Hintergrund die Band die irgendwas sinnfrei und zusammenhangslos klimpert und dazu singt. Es lägt nicht zu weiteren Stoff ein. Ein Lichtblick ist das Intro, Maggot Brain .. dann wirds dunkel und vergessbar.

its ok

Terrifying album cover. Not quite what I expected. I guess it was pretty funk. Thought there'd be more lyrics.

Extremely overrated. A lot of noise, very little funk. Probably one of the shittiest album openers of all time.

Favourite Song: Maggot Song I loved the opening, which made me really excited for the rest but it did seem to fade from my attention as it went through.

This album made me feel sad. I commend them for translating feelings to music but… ugh.

Did not realize how dreary a funk album can be, well I guess that’s the adelic part. I can’t say I enjoyed it, even the guitar solo which was done amazingly didn’t really have much to play off. The last song on the album, made me think I was going a little insane which I’m sure was intentional. Very creative and interesting just can’t say I enjoyed listing to it. The album cover matches the mood of the album and I thought was better than the music within.

Recording quality is great but too psychodelic, feel like I need to be on something to fully enjoy. Great technical achievement but not sold on the artistic side, some great tunes in the middle but the opening and especially the closing tracks are not my favorite.

I was over stimulated and didn't fully enjoy the album because of it.

The first song was the best.

Didn't care for it.

Not a fan....could not relate to any of the songs...crazy compilation of music.

A bit weird, frankly

Not a huge funk fan. First song really through me off for the entire album

1st track has a very Hendrix-esque solo... That is my only positive

This is some crazy stuff to listen to when at work. I'm hard-pressed to think, "What am I in the mood for? 'Maggot Brain'!"

She’s good. I woke up singing her song though, that was a bit annoying and cost 1 star.

What's with all the farting noises? Otherwise quite funky.

Musik, die ohne LSD nie entstanden wäre :-) Ist mir etwas zu anstrengend...

Not for me. It wasn't bad and I like the first track, but I found the rest of the album to drag. The songs were all pretty long and some of them felt repetitive.

Didn’t draw me in at all. Beginning was confusing and the rest okay. Just not my jam

it's pretentious and incredibly extra, but seeing what they've pulled off here in the context of 1971 it sure is very impressive. I enjoy it somewhat, but every so often the excessiveness of some musical phrases and sounds takes me completely out of the zone. Maybe it's just my untrained ears not appreciating what they're hearing, but for me, for right now, all of this is just WAY too much.

okay

Was in the background. Nothing grabbed my attention

Album in Deutschland unvollständig auf Spotify. Glücklich und entspannt etwas zu langsam. Expermental Musik.

Raar album, drugs vloeide rijkelijk in de jaren 70 zo te horen

2+ Stars (6/15)

Sympa mais sans plus, pas incroyable.

LSD inspired album. Some songs sound like Jimi Hendrix Experience

For a band called Funkadelic there was a supreme lack of funk on this album. The intro song/guitar solo was nice, but the rest of album seemed a bit tame compared to other funk pieces on this list.

pink floydy

I didn't expect a 10-minute guitar instrumental track to start the album - I kind of liked that one. The rest of the album was closer to what I expected from Funkadelic. The last track (Wars of Armageddon) was annoying to listen to, and it's also 10 minutes, so that one brings down the album.

It might be a classic, but it's a slog to listen to, won't be revisiting this one.

First song is the only great one

Maggot brain sounds super cool, not my style though

Nothing really spoke to me about this album.

2/5

Some interesting ideas but it lacked cohesion and structure.

Nicht so meins…

Pretty experimental. especially with the first and last tracks. Not a fan

To jam bandy. Good grooves but too loose.

Good funk. I don’t like funk.

First song is mesmerizing, rest of the album not so much.

Not really for me

A little too quirky free form for me. I was going to say it's good background ambient music but some of the repetitive percussion gets grating

Deja mucho que desear. Fuera de Maggot Brain, no hay una sola canción que me guste realmente. El closer literalmente suena a flatulencias. La verdad, después de escuchar la primera, pensaba que sería mejor. Fuera de eso, no estoy seguro de que fuera mi caso, pero viendo la portada, no me sorprendería que más de uno haya llegado con la idea de que sería malo tan solo por verla; tierra, esos colores y esa expresión tan exagerada hacen que sea desagradable. Creo que es la portada más fea qué he visto hasta ahora.

Some parts I liked and some parts not so much

parecia que ia começar bem, gostei da sonoridade da primeira música, mas conforme o álbum ia progredindo, a qualidade foi caindo. num geral não gostei do álbum, mas o nome combina com o que entregue: é psicodélico.

Honestly bored the balls clean off me

A lot of weird noises. Not bad music, definitely not for me though.

Terrible

This was one wild and wacky album. It felt like one long drug fueled jam session, though not always consistent or even coherent. It starts off one way, kind of calm, and completely becomes something crazy by the end. The last track is so insane, it might actually be the most genius thing to ever be created. I think I am just too normie to get it. 2.5 funky farts out of 5.

Not my cuppa tea

Catfish, the album. The first song is really good

This was some ok funk. Not good enough to hole my attention though.

heavy and groovy at its best moments, unlistenable and obnoxious at its worst. opening solo is cool but overly long and masturbatory. vocals are whack. saved by some creative guitar work. 2/5

Not for me, basically a funk rock jam session.

I will instantly forget this album, only remembering that the title track is some impressive guitar spread over 10 minutes. Can appreciate the musicianship, just not for me.

Loved the cover of this one. It could have been a poster for a Beckett play. Wish the songs could’ve been as interesting and existential as a Beckett play. Weirdly I thought the first song sounded like they were trying to be Pink Floyd and then the rest turned out to be fairly innocuous. Ironically, my favourite song was “whole lot of BS.”

Was close to almost liking the music but then it went into a direction that I didn't enjoy as much. Some jarring noises added that ruined it for me.

I mean its funky but yeah idk

The album was short but the songs were long. I don’t really like the ‘jam band’ genre, but these funky jams were better than Phish.

Meh. I honestly never understood people's love for this album. One Nation Under a Groove is a good album; this one just feels like a lot of noodling.

I tried multiple times. I just don't get it

Not the best Funkadelic

Leuk achtergrondmuziekje, maar niet leuk genoeg om echt te luisteren. Dan ga ik me al snel storen aan die vreemde overdreven gitaarsolo's en zo. **

I usually do 'one to sing in the shower' but this time i'm doing 'one for the karaoke' because i would, in some dive bar, select the first track and air guitar the shit out of it on stage. Right in front of the down and outs. It would be like Napoleon dancing the skit, and that bar would erupt i tell you.

Alright, that title -- whew! Getting past that (and the bizarre flatulence noises at the end of the album) and this was an enjoyable, fun album to have in the background while I worked. Doubt I'll seek it out again (so 2 stars) but enjoyed it more than I expected

Funky. But didn’t capture my attention.

Tracks: Best To Worst 1. Maggot Brain 2. Can You Get To That 3. Wars Of Armageddon 4. Super Stupid 5. Hit It And Quit It 6. Back In Our Minds 7. You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks Final thoughts: This album is definitely high on LSD, most of the songs were all over the place, specifically the first and last. It opens with a black man telling us we fucked the Earth (figuratively and literally) and leads off into a 10 minute guitar solo which I have to say is excellent. Supposedly the guitar was told in the first half to think his mother died, then in the second half she survived, very odd. The last song is a culmination of explosions and fart noises, very odd as well. The entire album is one drug induced black trio which I enjoyed fair enough. 6/10

funk NA com jazz e soul, 2/5

Just didnt feel it. Its not bad just not for me.

I've been funked senseless after listening to this. What do you want to know?

Too much

A little too jammy, so not really my jam

Not rlly my cup of tea, it was a nice vibe tho

Wanted to give this a fair chance but just couldn't. Already not a favourite genre of mine but it felt also that half the album was just kinda a waste of time. The first track was an okay instrumental that lacked any real highlights or any that warranted it being 10 minutes long. Then followed a few rather short songs, one as unspectacular and forgettable as the other before we arrived at the closing track, Wars of Armageddon. This one should have been called Noise of Armageddon and is really a 10 minute shittake. And I don't mean the Asian mushroom! The kind of noise and sounds that are in there make you go wtf is this.and even after sitting through all of it, I still wonder what exactly the point or purpose of this was. This one did feel like a waste of 36 minutes and left me with no choice but to hand out another 2 stars

Not a fan. Of its time in the worst ways. Favorite part was the "indulgent" guitar solo to open the album.

A lot of this seemed like a jam session. One of the songs had random noises including a mooing cow.

I was excited about this .......before I listened to it, then I was inevitably disappointed. 2*

Groovy. Experimental. Insane bookend of two 10 min tracks.

Funk trifft LSD. Hatte ich mir unterhaltsamer vorgestellt.

Not a huge fan. Too funky and random

The title track is not very funky and is way too long. Tracks 2-6 are pretty good with Super Stupid being my favorite. Track 7, Wars of Armageddon is wayy too long and is not good. Especially when you get to the fart sounds around 8 minutes in. Bonus tracks are not bad with the exception of the \"Maggot Brain Alternate Mix\", which is somehow worse than the original. I had high hopes for this album, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting.

Wasn’t really felling jt.

For me, just a bit too experimental.

It's ok.

Año 1971. Ni idea de quienes eran pero si me suenan sus componentes. Empieza con 10 minutos de desvaríos alucinógenos. Quitando "Spuer stupid" me ha parecido bastante aburrido. En su momento tuvo que ser impactante oírlo recién salido en ese año, pero creo que ha envejecido mal.

2/5 nope!

It had a couple of good songs, but for the most part was kind of meh. 0RS

no

Would have rather it been all instrumental. The massive amount of repetitive phrases was annoying, especially the last song.

It was okay. Maggot brain was enjoyable, the rest was whatever.

the first song was not for me, some of the funky ones where ok

Super long ceebs

Feels a bit too slow and samey

A bit noisy for me

Funky town it’s was alright hey

This album is bonkers. Starts and finishes with 10 minute jams, which make up two thirds of the album time. I didn't really care for these. The 15 mins of the the middle 5 tracks is much better, particularly 'You and your folks, me and my folks' which is very Black Sabbath-esque. Just when you think it can't get weirder, the last track has cuckoo clocks, mooing cows, monkey noises & hissing cats. Overall, maybe too weird to return to, but definitely not boring!

Maggot brain was by far the best track. Wouldn’t rush to listen to the whole album again, lots of cow bells in the tracks.

Track 2- sample for Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells was a surprise, probably my favourite track also. Bit of a scattered album with more jam than a kid’s lunchbox. I think I’ve been put off long guitar solos at live gigs- Impressive, but don’t add much and can stall the vibe.

Really psychedelic, hard for me to listen through

Way too much instrumental that is too long for me to care.

Pretty good for pyscadelic/acid rock. Not normally something I'm drawn to, but this is a little more funk, so it is ok.

honestly, i didn’t even finish it instrumental music i just cant

This ain’t it

That was rough listening to. Lots of noises like a kid was playing instruments in the background. Would have given it a zero if I could, but maggot brain made it a 1.

Funkadelic's third album is a 36 minute hodgepodge that combines funk's repetitiveness with rock's most narcissistic tendencies, resulting in a lot of self-indulgent repetition that sounds like it was fun to make but is ultimately tedious as hell to listen to.

🥲

he tenido que mirar 4 veces a ver si faltaba mucho para que acabara, no digo más

Not really for me unfortunately.

If I was big into guitars I'd enjoy this but unfortunately I'm not and didn't.

No me ha gustado. Escuché dos canciones y lo tuve que quitar porque no es el tipo de música que me gusta escuchar necesito que cante y que no haga tantos ruidos

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

no(

music to listen to while cleaning the house

Not worth the effort to write this.

Terrible! Long instrumental songs. One of the songs featured a cow mooing and farting noises. Why would anyone want to listen to that?

So painful. Glad they evolved

Didn't like any of the songs

This album is a perfect example of how adding more, doesn’t make it better. The only song I truly enjoyed was Maggot Brain. The rest was a bust and a waste of my time. Favorite Song: Maggot Brain, alternative mix - hate the title, but the guitar is good.

Rubbish

Felt like I got maggot brain listening to that

El solo de 10 minutos esta aqui con nosotros? No lo entendí. Me sorprendió el segundo track, sino era un rotundo 1 sjsjsjs. Me gusta el swing? Likes: Can you get to that - Super Stupid

I am not funkadelic

Not for me. Think I’d need to be high/tripping to enjoy this. Disappointed

very much a jam album, not really my sound

Not my vibe. Basically all instruments, didnt even finish it

Really not my taste. I truly never need to hear cow or fart noises in music. Long ass songs, too. A few catchy beats in the middle of the album, but trust I will not be back.

#45 Not cohesive and too chaotic

1. brain - 2.5 2. get - 1 3. hit - 1 4.folks -1 5. Stupid -1 6. Minds - 0 7. Wars -1

WHY?!

Just couldn't listen.

#169/1001. I tried to listen to this on my car radio, and couldn't make anything out of it. Clearly it was not produced for listening in cars. Then I listened to it on my headphones and couldn't make anything of it. And i thought I loved all p-funk.

Maggot Brain aims for cosmic soul and psychedelic freedom, but from this angle it just feels lost in its own haze. The title track’s long guitar solo sets a mood, yet the rest struggles to keep that spark alive - too spaced-out, too self-indulgent. There’s vision here, but it’s buried under excess and drift. A bold idea that never quite connects.

nicht mein Ding

Somebody or some podcast or some blog post or some article told you this was a super amazing album. You wanted to fit in and be hip or whatever so you went along and pretended to like it. Boring. 1/5 stars.

Noodly guitar doesn't really do it for me. Also a big no to funk and soul.

Annoying

Good grief. 1

Rubbish! Sound effects make it unlistenable

The iconic Maggot Brain solo. I get the cultural significance and the whole mythology behind it, but try as I might I couldn’t really get into this album. There are undeniably good rhythms and grooves. I don’t see ever feeling a strong drive to return to this record though. Cosmic Slop is more enjoyable to me

awful

1e nummer is vage zooi voor als je aan de drugs bent. Oude gitaar en drums band

Meh

I'm not sure what other people are hearing that I'm not, didn't enjoy this at all.

Bobbins.

This sounds like what I imagine an acid trip feels like.

Not my bin of questionable combined liquids

Nah no thanks

Guitar intro is good. Can definitely see the Hendrix inspiration. However it's definitely not my kind of thing. Last song, not a fan of the weird farting samples they have, but its music i suppose.

WTF

No

Meh....nope.

Talented musicians performing songs I just don’t like at all.

Uhh

This album sounds like standing in guitar center on a Saturday afternoon

That last song was just too much, rest was meh

Not much of a fan

This was a weak album! How did it make the 1001?

Already answered. Unpleasant.

BAD.

וואו זה הרגיש כאילו הכל באילתור

Absolutely bizarre

mat?

Not enough drugs in the world...

Não sei o que tentaram fazer nesse álbum, mas com certeza não foi uma boa ideia

I dislike this for the same reason I dislike The Doors...masturbatory solos that go on forever. I actually got a little angry listening to this, but maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of bed. Looking at the other ratings I'm way outside the norm on this. So be it

Not funky enough

Experimental. Evocative. Black Liberation. Annoying use of stereo.

shit

some decent stuff on here but then one track just has a bunch of fart noises on it. terrible.

Pues mira, por la falta de respeto de la última canción, un 1.

Funk und Psycadelic. Nee.

Well I listened to the whole thing. What a load of shit. Sounds like the song Ross wronte on Friends

Would need a magot in your brain to listen to much of this

Not the kind of music I prefer

This one was not at all to my taste, but I did hear lots of things that I think influenced later songs and bands that I do like. If I could give it a 1.5 I would because I suspect it was a very influential record for a lot of people.

Really didn't enjoy anything here

ni lo escuché

Can You Get to That was my favorite. The others were underwhelming

Not my cup of tea

Horrible

I’m tired of people thinking just because something is experimental it means that it’s good. You don’t get to put 9 minutes of disparate guitar sounds over empty noise and call it art. I know this because none of my dick head friends from high school ever went platinum. You could tell me a bulk of this album was the warmup they played before they recorded the actual album and I wouldn’t have blinked.

Definitely no

As uninteresting now as it was back then ...

Nope

Did not enjoy any of the songs.

After the interminable first track this became an okay album, but not my genre at all.

I found the first track to be quite annoying. The guitar went on and on like a demo or jam session which I wanted to skip numerous times but my hands were wet from doing dishes. If I didn’t have filthy pots I would have skipped it. A lot of the albums rhythm section is monotonous to the point it sounds looped and uninspired. It gave me “monkey smashing symbol” anger. I don’t think the album has aged well.

Idk. Maybe I needed to be high...

Didn’t get through the whole album. Not my style

Pochisimo

Nothing on this album justifies listening to the 10 minute wah pedal demonstration it opens with.

Did not listen. 1 star just for the name of the album. Music should appeal, not repel.

Really weird, definitely not my vibe

Wouldn’t load

So so

Mediocre. You and Your Folks was decent. Wars of Armageddon is beyond awful, especially with the fart noises. 2/10.

Jarring

Not my cup of tea.

Nah.

I am genuinely convinced that I will never understand why people like the music they do, and that the Rolling Stones throws darts to determine their best albums lists. This is fucking boring. I do not like it or see any musical appeal in it. How the fuck did people listen to dogshit like this for an entire decade? The Vietnam era of music was really a blight on mankind. But being anti-war and anti-troops is unironically based, so it’s got that going for it. Veterans do not deserve your respect. And neither does this album.

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Nah it’s not my thing at all Favourite song: didn’t have one

weird.

Pues mira, por la falta de respeto de la última canción, un 1.

Pues mira, por la falta de respeto de la última canción, un 1.

Norm

Except for opening title track I sense nothing more than the pain going to the dentist. 1.4

1.5

Meh - I was expecting something with serious Funk - a la Parliament or some of Earth Wind and Fire - what was presented was a mishmash of what was at times blues guitar over motown rythms, followed by 'artistic' sound doodlings. Seriously unimpressed

Not for me... I can appreciate the 'funk' though. Might have been better if I was in a different mood.

Not good

The heck was that?

Felt like a disaster of an album to me, right from track 1 (and I don’t hate funk).

As soon as that baby started wailing in the last track I switched over to Phil Collins 'oooo yeah I wish it would rain down'....on my ears and wash all this musical cack out of them. The sound of the smell of cold Brussels sprouts. Amazing what one late 80s power ballad can do!

This album just sucked. Was maybe like a funk jam album with the occasional random sounds. 2/10.

Garbage!

Went in not knowing what to expect. Did not enjoy it though I could understand others liking it

O.k. i guess

Not a super fan of experimental music

Not a fan of funkadelic. This album proved that
