Gayella on taatusti parempiakin levyjä, kuin tää kutualbumi. Let's get it on on toki legenda.

Buen disco

Great use of the baritone sax to compliment the vocals in "lets get it on". The album never really seems to change or develop as it progresses and gets repetitive by the 3rd song. There is a clear reason lets get it on is the most popular. The rest of the songs are just worse versions of it.

Songs all sound kind of the same. Not good background music unless doing the title title.

Czuje sie jakby dawno nie bylo tak czarnego materialu, jak ten od pana Marvina Gaya, a przeciez Davisy nie tak dawno sie przewinely, ale jazz a soul, dodatkowo zmieszany tutaj z funkiem to calkiem dwa rozne murzynskie swiaty, wiec co oferuje lets get it on podczas odsluchu z pewnoscia bogate brzmienie instrumentalne chociaz sam pan Marvin jest przede wszystkim wokalista i lirykiem, to jednak jako ze jest to jego trzynasty studyjny album, to jako sluchalny muzyk zgromadzil wokol siebie mala orkiestre, samych grajkow gitarowych mozna naliczyc szesciu, a co za tym idzie kazdy trak brzmi na swoj sposob inaczej, ale tez nie ma tutaj specyficznego brzmienia albumu, tylko kawalek po kawalku brzmienie sie zmienia, ale co jest stalym punkiem przewalajacym sie przez caly krazek jest seksualne healowanie jakie w swojej liryce propaguje pan Gay, pisze seksualne healowanie, bo taka jest nazwa jego najpopularniejszego traka z ktorego kojarze nazwisko, sexual healing, no moze aint no mountain high enough jest bardziej znany, ale jak dla mnie to wlasnie healing bardziej pasuje do opisu tworczosci pana Marvina, ktory jak przyznaje romansy i seksy w muzyce jaka tworzy wynikaja z tego, ze stary go krotko trzymal w mlodosci, mam nadzieje ze nie pijany w wannie, ale i tak 31 minut sluchania tak zaserwowanego romansu przprawia o wrzody, nie pomaga nawet wokal jakim operuje, bo jednak czlowiek slyszy o czym sie spiewa, wiec jak dla mnie tematyka milosna w takim wydaniu to wielkie nie nie, na uwage zasluguja takze chorkowania, ktore widocznie musialy byc nagrywane na kilku osobnych trakach, bo w niektorych partiach tworza naprawde cieawe efekty, jak koncowka tytulowego kawalka, otwierajacego krazek, a bedacego takze pickiem pejkowym z tego albumu, wydaje mi sie, ze znam kilka sampli z tej plyty, ale jakos nie moge skojarzyc z konkretnymi tytulami, jak bedzie chwila to lukne pana Marvina na samplotece i zobaczymy co dostane

He sido víctima de mi propio desconocimiento y presuposiciones. Esperaba mucho más. Algo es claro, "Let's get it on" es harto pegajosa... y, a falta de una mejor palabra en español, cheesy a más no poder (léase, barato, poco auténtico y sin sutileza). Creo que a fin de cuentas casi todo el disco termina siendo algo similar, sin tener otra canción tan buena como esa. Demasiadas canciones lentas que de plano no hicieron nada de nada pra mí. Quizá Inner City Blues y Mercy Mercy sean las otras canciones salvables. Supuestamente importante como uno de los primeros discos concepto de motown... No... simplemente ni siquiera me interesó verlo más a fondo para ver si entendía su concepto... Demasiado lento y nada mi estilo.

“Let’s Get It On” has always been my least favorite Marvin Gaye hit, something about the simplicity in the message lacks the depth of hiding it through imagery. “Let’s Get It on AGAIN” is abridge too far. What’s going on is much better.

ehh, pretty slow got that one meme: first 5 sec of Let's get it on

Läuft eher so wie ein cliché-strotzendes Lovemaking Playlist Medley im Hintergrund. Ich gewinne diesem Album nichts ab, leider. Unberührte 1.5

Let's get it on is strong enough to get this off the 1 star floor, and I see Marvin knew what he had there when he went back to the well on the remix (first appearance of a remix?) Anyways, "You sure love to ball" is hilariously pornographic. Marvin gay is talented but this album made me sleepy.

nice background jazzy music. only recognized the beginning of the first song. love the cover art

Not my type but has a very recognizable song and some songs are pretty chill. Best songs: Lets get it on and if i should die tonight. Rating: 2/5

Classic opener. Nice smooth jazz, but very samey and got very boring very quickly.

r&b not my cup of tea

Perhaps no other record has ever achieved the kind of sheer erotic force of Let's Get It On, and it remains the blueprint for all of the slow jams to follow decades later -- much copied, but never imitated.

It's just not my thing. I get that it is sex jams and it has its place, but I just don't think that place is on the 1001 list.

Some great songs but most of the lyrics are like something a horny teenager would scribble. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Its naff.

Alright tbf. Wouldn't listen again

pretty good, would definitely add most to my sex playlist if I had one ;/ lets get it on is a banger, probably the only one ill come back and listen to

Goes without saying how incredible his voice is, but this album didn’t do it for me. Feels like he’s made a music to have sex to album and, unfortunately, I wasn’t on that vibe when listening to it yesterday. The title track is a classic, but that was about it. Pretty creepy lyrics at times too.

Apart from the 1at song I found this a bit of a non-entity. His voice is undeniably incredible, but I was pleased this was quite short.

Jazz Meh

Very sensual R&B. The songs were things I'd listen to on the radio but I might change if I got bored. Not a fave, but not a hate.

The titular track is obviously solid. That song kills. Couldn't get into the rest of it, though. Too much slow soul for me and the revised "keep getting it on" track reminded me of seeing an artist live when they play their greatest hit twice in a set.

Better than the last Marvin Gaye album I listening to but still not great. Other than the single "Let's get it on" every song is meh. A bunch of words going with music without much melody. He got into a niche which made him famous but the album is not impressive. High 1.5

nie w moim guscie

Unfortunately, due to time period, sounds like elevator music. I can appreciate the elements (RnB vocal flourishes, jazzy piano motifs, occasional syncopation) separately but together, it's too complex for me to parse without total attention.

Tuota tuota… tulin antaneeksi aiemmin What’s going on -albumille 4/5. Eli voisi sanoa, ettö pidän soulista ja Marvin Gayesta. No ei. Pidin albumista ja sen tuottaneesta fiiliksestä. Tämä ei tuottanut samanlaista fiilistä, oikeastaan toi esiin kaikki ne piirteet soul- ja r&b -musassa, joista en pidä. Edustaa siis inhokkimusatyyliäni oikein hyvin. Jostain syystä tällainen musa lähtökohtaisesti ärsyttää. Onneksi oli lyhyt albumi. 1/5

Tapped out when the moaning started

This man's estate sues people for making similar music. Baffling. I've never heard a man, whose meant to epitomise sexual music, sound so unattractively whiny.

Every song sounds like the other

Es bueno pero me dió extremo asco

feels violating

para nada mi gusto

didnt listen

One okay song followed by half an hour of generic soul songs. 👎 So many albums that could be on this list, but we have this instead.

Obviously good, but not really my cup of tea. Falling asleep

Boring. Again he is crying because a „babe“ left him. And then he cries, because another babe comes to him. But i swear, she will leave him and he will sing: „uhhhhhhh babe, ohh babebabe uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh babe“. Now i will listen to slayer to be awake again. „WAR ENSEMBLE!!!!!“

A Classic is Always a good choice

Once the horns and orchestration starts - after 1 minute and 11 seconds of sublime music and singing- this album never gets of the wrong track.

Did not like.

Disappointed. Meandering without rhythm or melody. ‘Keep gettin it on’ made me think the whole album was conjured up to support the only good track on the album.

ohhh-hhh, baaa-byyy, youuu- uuuh ... ooo-oooh, please gooo-ooh away Marvin. I haaa-te it! Miii-nuuus - - - - -

Not for me at all

No me gusta

Chato, repetitivo e datado. Um música boa.

This album is far to sexy for me!! One good song and 7 others seductive numbers that don’t really add much. Not one of Marvins greatest’s Favourite song: Let’s get it on Least favourite: You sure love to ball and just to keep you satisfied Album artwork: Good cover

Far too slow for my liking.

Seichter Soul.

bof 1/5

Album #8 "Oh baby you set my soul on fire" should always be credited to Marvin Gaye because those phrases are in any song that he writes about seduction and sex. . This album played like a one night stand, From the initial track of "Let's Get It On" to the final track of "Just to Keep You Satisfied." I prefer his music from the album "What's Going On" where he chooses to focus on something besides what is in his pants and has a greater meaning to a wider audience. Unfortunately I was introduced to MG in the 80's with his hit Sexual Healing. MG is not my cup of tea and I had to push myself to listen to this album in it's entirety.

The music if pretty, but just too schmaltzy for me.

I cannot argue that everything about this album is absolutely perfect and is deservedly rated one of the best albums ever. However, unlike other musical genres I have become to like I have always had an aversion and avoidance of music like this. It just doesn’t do anything for me. As for the sexy thing, if I were to put this on the turntable and dim the lights my partner would die laughing. I’m more likely to put on Marillion. Having dutiful listened to it through in full the only thing I can say is that if I had only one choice between this and modern chart stuff I would choose Marvin..but I don’t have to.

Gut ist die Platte kurz, kein Höhepunkt für mich

Not my type

Nope. Hate it

I honestly don't remember much from this so it obviously wasn't mind blowing to my. I do remember it not really being my thing and wishing it would end. 1.5/5

Pole minu maitse

Not for me

I can understand why this is a popular album but it didn’t really appeal to me. The bass is good.

helemaal niks

<33333333333333333

boring and HAHAHAHAH GAY

Too sexy. It hurts my ears.

Let's get it on is an epic track, we can all agree and you'd be rather strange not to agree. However the rest of the album holds no magic for me, which is a real shame.

Not my sound

I miss a tighter production, tighter songs. It’s too loose.

Tremendo Album!!

Meh... Alguna sorpresita me he encontrado pero como "objeto disco"... No es lo mío aunque sería muy de gilipollas no reconocer la influencia brutal la historia de la música pop.

What a ways to start.....
