Let's Get It On

Ol' Marv sure loves the bonkin'.

Classic sexy music :D Nothing special, but since it's so famos... It gets you :D

LOVE

Chill, para relajarse y pasar un buen momento

3.35/5 An album with a purpose, and there's no doubt it fulfills it. The choirs, the recognizable rhythms, the percussion, those brass instruments practically spitting sensuality, and Marvin Gaye's voice as the cherry on top. Everything comes together to create that romantic, red velvet mood. A big round of applause for the world-famous, homonymous Let's Get It On, and a couple of other genuinely good songs. The arrangements are lovely, the grooves occasionally get funkier, and the whole album knows exactly what atmosphere it wants to create. But it's just not my jam. I can appreciate the compositions and how well everything works together, but unless I'm in a very particular mood, there's practically no chance I'll put this album on. Great at setting the mood, just not particularly my mood.

Really liked this, maybe a little short but that just made it harder to outstay it's welcome. No bad tunes on it.

Definitely in the running for the most lustful album maybe ever made. And, I mean, for good reason. Really happy he got to have an album like this before making one twice as long all about getting divorced. An interesting turn away from the very political "What's Going On" as well, and he shines in a different way here. Classic Motown soul sound, which of course works great for a voice as smooth as Marvin's. A fun listen, if not a little balladic at times. Favorite tracks: Let's Get It On, Let's Get It On, Come Get To This

Soul. Ik vind het geweldig, maar dit album is wel heel rustig. ***

Marvin was so assured of Let’s Get It On being a hit that not only did he name the album after it, but he made a part 2 called “Keep Getting It On” with the same beat, and it’s good too. It’s hard to take the title track seriously because it’s so culturally pervasive in memes, commercials, movies, etc, but it really is a classic for a reason. The album is all “oooh baby I love you let’s have sex” but it’s a reasonable amount of sexy time at just 31 minutes long. Marvin won’t fuck your clock at least. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Music to make babies 👶

Looks, this is very good. A true classic, without a doubt. BUT IT JUST DOESN'T DO IT FOR ME. Not my thing. Glad to have finally heard the album, but highly doubt I will do it again. It's not you, it's me.

Classic,

Amazing stuff.

What a voice. This is music.

I mean just an iconic album. Easy listening.

some of the best love songs, some of the sexiest songs, one of the best breakup songs. Incredible

I don't know how to rate this because it's objectively good (and the title track is a cultural touchstone) but I did not particularly enjoy it.

Quintessential R&B foundation. From the opening title track, this is pure Motown under Gordy. Deserving of a spot in the rotation.

this was super smooth

really smooth music

I've heard the first song alotttttt was wondering where it came from, really relaxing listen enjoyed the whole project

Had me doing air drums and dancing around the room. R&B heaven.

pretty good! It feels weird hearing lets get it on as an actual song though lol

Marvelous Marvin Gaye, and this was his very best.

Ok

Marvin Gaye's vocals are just perfect on this.

Such a beautiful voice

Partly heard before Saved 4/8

made me horny

Очень-очень хороший альбом. Как мне кажется, он гораздо лучше, чем What’s going on

Baby making music

fuck ueah

marv g presents sex jamz vol. 1 Rating: strong 6/10

I wonder just how many people got it on to this

Good

Let's get it on is a crazy album opening. This was so good!

Actually really disappointing

Great for stay home rainy weather vibes.

I put this on expecting to be seduced and honestly, I was. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Let's Get It On - Distant Lover - Just to Keep You Satisfied

Just classic

not my favorite album from Gaye but still pretty good

Absolute all-timer opening track, but overall an album where I could recognise his/its greatness, but also got a bit bored.

Filthy smooth.

Its a solid record and Gaye has the smoothest voice known to man. Pushes toward a five, but I just didn't enjoy the non-hits quite enough to get it there.

y si dijese que este album me gusta mas que What's Going On qué pasaria 10/10

Amazing opening track, good album

That opening guitar lick is so infamous, I'm surprised I didn't know it was Marvin Gaye. Great stuff. He's one of my favorite voices in soul. This album is obviously less melancholic than "what's going on;" (which might actually appeal to my taste a bit more, but I could also see arguments for this album being slightly inferior from an objective lense) this is music for being in love, and famously so. Every song grooves hard. The Mixes are so detailed; I like the way that they layer vocals, and various other melodic parts, while still keeping a magnetic groove, and while still being able to isolate everything you hear. I noticed several Gaye-isms, particularly near the second half of "Distant Lover;" he loves to just sit on the minor 1 chord and jam for a while in the middle of his songs. It happens on several on WhatsGoingOn. Anyway, strong 4 to a light 5

This one is particularly short, even for the era, and is sort of like one long song (or song suite). It's a good song -- very good, even -- but is a little bit on the slight side for me, both in length and depth. For this reason, even though it's very good, I think it's a high 3 stars, rather than a 4.

I like the album art Listen, it's Marvin Gaye, the production is lush (vibraphone, strings, flutes, BASS, HORNS), so I'm only going to say what I don't like about it because it will be quicker. . . . Just like What's Going On, this album sticks to one theme. I don't, however, like this theme as much. "Love." How original. I got bored of it. By the time "You Sure Love To Ball" played I was sick. To compare to that superior album again, this one isn't as interesting stylistically. It's pretty standard soul or whatever. So yeah, it's carried by the arrangements of layered, masterful instrumentals and his great voice, but conceptually and thematically falls flat. If I don't think too much it's a 4. If I'm feeling cynical it's a 3.

Groovy

hot damn </3 a killer.

Beautiful album that made me feel sm emotions

This whole album could be called "Sex: the official recording". It's sexy as fuck soul. But it's surprisingly never gross. It's passionate. Marvin Gaye doesn't want to bang, he wants to make love. Slowly, tenderly, with the skins touching, while breathing in your hair and neck. I swear I can smell this album.

This album feels like musicifized hope and love. I felt like laying down on the green grass with yellow sunshine during listening to this album.

Suuuper smooth, Marvin Gaye’s voice is awesome and it makes for a pleasant listening experience, but some of these songs are just a little too “zoetsappig” for me (Google Translate says it’s “mawkishly sentimental” or “mealymouthed” in English but I’m not sure if that is correct 😭)

7/10

Soulful, sometime funky, always smooth and damn sexy. Only someone who grew up in a sexually repressed household could break out to such overt eroticism. When shit gets pent up over years, you got to let it out and let it out Gaye did! While I fully understand that people have vastly different tastes in music, there are some albums that are simply such beautiful music that I can’t understand how someone could be so cynical or closeminded to hate them. This is one of them. One of the best soul albums ever produced!

Marvin Gaye convincing his lover to [have sex, stay, come back, come again] for 30 minutes.

Not as sexy as its reputation suggests, but it was easy listening I guess.

Laughed out loud at learning about the existence of the track keep gettin it on

Unfortunately I believe sex is shameful and a sin so it’s immoral to sing about it :/ ha ha nah I’m just joshin I enjoy a good Album To Do It To as much as the next fella. Sultry and silky but if I’m being honest there are only so many ways to say “let’s fuck” and “I wish we could fuck” and “it’s sad we’re not fucking anymore” and Mr. Gaye maybe has surpassed the limits of those ways on this album. A good one to listen to if you’re uh let’s say more focused on something else. Second act montage needle drop in my biopic: “Distant Lover”

5/5 if the rating is for "would have sex to this album"

Don’t google Marvin Gaye before listening to the album

invented babymaking music definitely enjoyed the b side more, i was very satisfied by the saucy bass playing on just to keep you satisfied not lewd or creepy or overly explicit, just a sonic celebration of sex and love and desire, somethin that makes ya wanna wear a silk shirt kneeling in the rain crying begging just for a sniff

His voice is fantastic and the music is great. The whole thing is smooth and sexy, with a couple songs that are more emotional just to keep things a little varied. Some really great saxophone, which I always love to hear. Just a gorgeous album. Fav song: Let's Get It On - probably because it's the one I'm most familiar with, but it is a great song Least fav: You Sure Love To Ball

Knew this was going to be a good day as soon as I saw the album. Starts off so strong and continues it all the way through. Love that he just runs it back with let’s get it on a second time. Only downfall is the sex noises on you sure love to ball. Specific rating - 4.8 Fav song - distant lover Least fav- you sure love to ball

смут соул 1973 року, один з критиків назвав найбільш сексуально зарядженим альбомом, ох так я це відчуваю Let's Get It On - не зря це стало феноменом для комічно-еротичних сцен, але ж ніхто до кінця не слухав, дуже чуттєва, якщо такий початок то я не знаю що далі Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away) - ось це і є рнб, ох ця просьбаааа ох не просіть мене щось якщо це не так і чому це має бути напередодні овуляції, цей альбом най замінить моє сексуальне життя яке пусте If I Should Die Tonight - початооок Keep Gettin' It On - ох ці саксофони Come Get To This - в трійці з кращих Distant Lover - найменше з усіх сподобалась You Sure Love To Ball - нічого собі це вже оргазм получається Just To Keep You Satisfied - гарний кінець, еакуляція і евакуація ахвахх це навіть краще якщо це сексуальна ода то я б назвала цю пісню after care, якби ж мене хтось keep satisfied

A few good ones, same sound on all songs. Not the best Marvin Gaye album. 7/10.

Pure heat

Очень хороший альбом, Марвин делал вещи 8/10

Me gustó en líneas generales, pero hay canciones que me resultaron aburridas. Principalmente "You sure love ball" y me duele decirlo "Distant Lover". Independientemente de esto, los altos son muy altos, groovy y buenos. Así que es un disco que me hizo dudar por su final, pero como digo, en líneas generales está muy bien. 3,5/5.

This album is a delight to listen to. Sort of a soft 5 compared to What’s going on’s 6+

I love Gaye's vocals. A great soul album.

Listening to Marvin Gaye always makes me really rather sad for reasons that should be obvious, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a damn good album. God rest his soul.

Damn! I need to get more MG in my playlists. Groovy and soulful.

I have heard so much about this album and I loved it. I think it would be an easy 5 with repeated listened but I’m gonna go 4 for now…

funky and his voice is soooo energetic he just makes you want to danceee

3.5

baby baby baby horny horny horny

I know he's great etc but I was bored

Sexier than What's Going On, and with much less social earnestness. Which album I prefer is just based on mood. I love them both.

I do appreciate that this is album 69 for me. Marvin's singing is great, I like some of the tunes too which isn't bad since I'm not a big soul fan.

What a fantastic album. The first track, which I'd only ever heard the into because it's been used so much, was such a great start. It was such a nice listen all the way to the end.

Sublime and delicate, transporting listening.

King of mood music

Ho hum. Not unpleasant to listen to, but too smooth for me. I could imagine the title track is a stylish classic, set back to enjoy it, but turns out it's too bland for me to actively listen to the whole song (my mind wanders), and the album as a whole is sadly inconsequential, not least relative to the interesting and disturbing album I was assigned yesterday (and still thinking about today). This one is Really Poor, 2/10.

pure romantic

Aside from the title track nothing really striked me here.

PRETTY SOLID ALBUM

I thought "Let's Get It On" would be the horniest song on this album. But then I discovered "You Sure Love To Ball" Five Stars

Sammetslent! Stark 4a!

Smoooooth boy

Okay. Don’t hate me but all his songs sound the same to me.
