Not very tempting 1.8
Not sure what to say. OK to listen to, but nothing really stood out.
Love the temptations and a few of my favourites are on this album.
A lot of classics on here.
Quite enjoyed it.
Classic funk album
I do like the sound of funky music
Meh didn’t care for it
Good, led me down a nice path in Spotify after it finished. Better for that than the full album was but still enjoyable.
like some of the music, the vocals not my favorite.
Good songs here and there, but overall really not my style...
Fun for a good disco mood. Even though I love my 70s soft rock it was not my cup of tea
Pleasant, soulful collection of songs. Incredible collection of voices. Enjoyed it and would happily have it on in the background. Something wrong with the production/EQ on the first couple of tracks though, which spoils it a bit.
Very solid album, nothing to dislike about that kind of music
Fantastic songs but not a cohesive album...
The album's A side (first 3 tracks) are a powerhouse statement for R&B with incredible instrumentation and vocal arrangements. Going into the B side, the power of the first 3 tracks overwhelm the quality of the remaining 5 tracks. Some feel uninspired. Stand-outs: Run Charlie Run, Papa Was A Rollin' Stone
Lots of good soul, including Papa Was a Rolling Stone
Nice and easy, good vibes
A perfect blend of Motown and Funk. Solid 5. Every song is a fucking goddamn gorgeous banger. Run Charlie Run and their cover of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is to die for.
Papa still a classic but even the Intro is a but droney for no reason. Solid alb
1972. Key Songs: Love Woke Me Up This Morning, The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face
I should have listened to this one more - only did one listen and I enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away. But i think i didn't give it enough attention
Great album, lots of covers but all done in that great temptations groove
They may have gotten sick and tired of being the choral singers of Norman Whitfield but, by All Directions, The Temptations still proved adept at capturing an audience with their by now patented psychedelic soul. Mainly anchored by the gargantuan Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, All Directions became the crystallization of what they had been pushing and pushed towards in the dawn of the 70s as they both planted a flag with their peak and a seed for what was to come, which was the repudiation of such adventurous things. Favorites: Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On, Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Mother Nature, Do Your Thing.
did not age well. One fantastic song though
This was ok? Kinda dated, not as cool as other disco I've heard. 3/5.
Great mood music for weekend mornings!
