Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye’s voice is beautiful. But after the first banger of a song it’s just variations on a (not that impressive) theme. He’s horny and wants sex. That’s about it. Still love “Let’s Get It On” but I will never listen to these other songs let alone the album. 2/5

This album is fine to me. Personally the soul jazzy vibe isn't my style, but I can see how others would find this to be such an incredible album. Obviously Let's Get It On is a fantastic song that holds up after 50 years, but everything else sounds the same but just a bit worse.

No not my music. The first song was good but then it just kept on going to sound the same.

Not a lot of standout tracks for me

fritzl's favorite album

Soul from the early 70's

Soul-Werk als früher Vorläufer des R&B. Album hat einen einheitlichen Stil und kann auch als Hintergrund Sound ertragen werden. Insgesamt aber nicht mein Musikstil.

It's been part of pop culture so long, it feels cheesy.

Some great tracks, especially the title track, but just gets repetitive.... Too much sexyness!

Weirdly Eh Nothing wrong, everything works, but not for me

Smoooooooth. But once you've heard three songs you've heard them all.

Not that interesting.

Didn’t realise I knew a track from it, now I know the source! Not my sort of genre though.

Maybe it just got overplayed for me on every show and movie, I just wasn't feeling it.

Was slow not looking for any more of this music

Every song is the same.

Ei innosta tällanen musiikki yhtään. Lähinnä ärsyttää. Mutta ei voi ihan ykköstä laittaa kun on niin paljon kamalampaakin tarjolla.

Had it on as background music at work. Nothing grabbed me enough to care. I honestly don’t remember anything about it other than the title opener. Think I need to re-listen.

gut, aber biz too sexual for me

I'm not the biggest fan of the genre.

Work is not the right place for this music and I probably wouldn't pick it in a situation where it is more warranted

Nice

Good not my style

- classic le sexy sex song - he has a good voice and instrumentation is nice - i wouldn't listen to any of these songs individually though - kanye spaceship sample on distant lover!! - i hate sex sounds in songs (you sure love to ball) and the song is way too long - totally not my style of listening music

was okay. think i can only listen to this if i'm getting down and dirty.

People back then were too horny. Never been a big fan of rnb or whatever sexy genre you call this. Feel like I'm trying to get into the pants of a black milf.

Great hit, but not my type....

i am not convinced i have ever actually listened to lets get it on all the way through, bc of how iconic (and therefore punchlineable) the first few bars are overall too molasses-esque to be my thing but i DID enjoy: - those strings! - the zyoop!-y synthy sounds - all of keep gettin' it on, not nearly enough songs have direct sequels these days and i find them charming as heck

It was fine, wasn’t hard to listen to but I didn’t think it was anything special

Not into it

Restaurant music

Ah, the controversial Let's Get It On / Thinking out loud 😆

A bit cheesy, a bit obsessive, Let's Get It On is a classic but the rest just take it too far...

This one is too smooth for me, like the Whats Going On 1000 times better

Gets it on

2.5 Some cool basslines, but too ballady overall for my liking

It really felt like Marvin just phoned this one in. From the bedroom.

1 or 2 tracks about boning are fine. But every single track gets old

It's just a bit too sexy for me.

It was ok. A little samey, a little dull in parts.

Insomma, a parte la canzone I heart through the grapevine, tutto non interessante

Kinda mediocre outside of one or two songs

Title track is amazing, the rest has the same sound but none of the songs have much more to them. It ends up repetitive

Vaikuttaa liian yksinkertaiselta, ekan biisin soittelua useampaan kertaan (keskellä albumia?) Dynamiikkaa ja surua kaipaisi.. tunnetilojen vaihtelua.. Sitä voi vaikka vessassa käydä ja jatkuu sama tunne pyyttonin jälkeen, vaikka muutama lähteekin. Tulee paska mieleen siinäkin mielessä että siis kun on semmosia paskoja thriller leffoja, jossa on sama tunne kokoajan. Heh. Ei edes jaksa pelottaa kun juoni on niin saatanan lineaarinen ja mikään asia ei oikeastaan vaikuta loppuratkasuun. Ei auta kun leffa on satiiria rikkaista ihmisistä, ja tämä satiiri puhutaan kameralle. Heh ja sitten siellä on se yks fiksu tyyppi joka sanoo leffan lopussa, että haluaa vain hampurilaisen kokilta ja kaikki muut ruokalajit ovat olleet paskaa. Muut ovat pelänneet sanoa tätä koska se kokki on ihan psyko!! Tämä henkilöhahmo on tietenkin POV, Sinä! Tottakai Sinä! Hän on fiksu viisas ja tajuaa kaiken tämän paskan läpi, hän on fiksu, vähän niinkuin sinä, kun valitsit tämän "The Menu" (2022) leffan tottakai hän uskaltaa nousta vastaan kokkia. Mutta jotkut tykkäävät thriller elokuvista ja osaavat uppoutua. Onneksi on objektivistejä aina pitämässä huolen että ainakin tulee MUUTAMA oikea review ilmoille ja oikeus tapahtuu. "Bad pretentious art that thinks it's critiquing bad pretentious art, told exclusively through the medium of food metaphors? ...yay." Tämä albumi on just niin saatanan paskaa kokoajan. Ja paskahan voi olla hyvä asia. Se tuntuu kivalta tulleesaan ja mennessään (syöminen ja ulostaminen, siinä teille jotka ei kiertoilmauksia arvosta, heh) Kuitenkin mikä pelastaa tämän albumin 1-2 tähdeltä on viimeinen biisi. Itseasiassa ainoastaan yhdeltä. Tässä viimeissä biisissä tulee hieman erilaista soitatusta albumille!! Kuinka vitun uskomatonta!! Sentään ei albumi kerjää enempää verta nenästä kun on osattu pitää vain 30 minuuttia pitkänä, sillä pituudellahan ei ole väliä kun puhutaan tosirakkaudesta. heh. Jos tykkäisin huonosta taiteesta eli tästä antaisin enemmän tähtiä kuin kaksi, ehkä jopa ilomielin. Kuuntelisimme tätä tulevan mennevän tai tämänhetkisen futuuri EN KERRO TEILLE MITÄ ELÄMÄSSÄNI TAPAHTUU KUUNTELISIN HÄNEN KANSSAAN. Heh, jos olisin tyhmä siis. Sitoisin hänet (he/she (heh ei voi tietää s-puolta englesmanneja harmittaa)) kun ensimmäinen biisi soisi (sexy time) mutta kun hän ei pystyisi liikkumaan ollessaan sidottuna heh, (sexy), VAIHTAISIN ALBUMIN IHAN KOKONAAN TOISEEN. Einstürzende Neubauten - Silence is Sexy lähtis soimaan ja olisin niin VITUN HILJAA KOKOAJAN. Hän ei tietenkään voisi tehdä mitään ja olisin kokonaan vastuussa siitä mitä hän kokee. Noh en liikoja koskis kun ei siinä kauaa meikällä kestäis muutenkaa, mutta kyl se koko albumi vedettäis. Noh sitten varmaa vaihtuu genre kun se on aika raskas kuunnella se saksalainen industrial. Mutta sentään vetää kaverit siinä omaa juttuaan tässäkin on naisorgasmi ääniä yhes kappaleessa mutta sillee 5-10 sec niikun laittakaa 20 min prelude sinne vaan alkuun loisi vähän sitä atmosfääriä jota ei saksan kavereilta puutu

Not for me

Let's Get It On is a good song, but honestly, this just isn't my kinda thing. Standouts: Let's Get It On

This reminded me of the new project from Silk Sonic (Anderson .Paak & Bruno Mars): it's smooth, it's sensual, it's vibey, the performances are good, the musicians are extremely talented...but it just doesn't interest me. Mr. Gaye recorded a phenomenal sex playlist here but outside of that very specific circumstance, I wouldn't find myself seeking this out ever again.

I don’t know man, like when are people gonna put this on? Do people bang to this anymore? Just seems weird, it’s too on the nose. Like if I put this on with my partner, she’s more likely to laugh than anything. I thought it was wild he has released like 15 fucking albums, I laugh thinking he had super-fans buying each record, I’m not gonna listen to another Marvin Gaye album but I really do hope this guy slipped in a metal album in to mix it up a bit. Pretty sure he moaned, “Suck off my soul” at one point during this album, that made me laugh. Overall this sucked, fuck this Scientologist ass. Let’s get it on is fine so 2 stars for this. I’m gonna fuck to something more fun than this shit.! :)

Not his best

He's clearly making a sex album. It's quality, but still basically a joke.

Never understood the appeal of Motown, this was so underwhelming

just the one song

Really just one well known song and that one song is good. The rest are just ok.

The quintessential sexy album. But to be honest, I didn't find it all that memorable

Great voice but not a patch on 'What's Going On'

Marvin Gaye could sing, but I never cared for his music.

have to be in the mood . . .

Did not like

Nope

Greit, men eit heilt album blir for mykje

Outside of Let's Get It On and the hilarious companion piece, which I had never heard of before, Keep Gettin' It On. I'm not into this at all.

Nimikkobiisi kutumusan kuninkuusluokkaa. Työpäivän musana ei toimi millään tasolla, mutta on tällekin varmasti omat hetkensä. Yksi biisi ei jaksa tätä levyä kannatella.

Wasn’t really my thing. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood?

1973, соул. Тринадцатый альбом. Основная тема - сексуальность, тем самым Марвин перерабатывает свой тяжелый опыт.

Mai he entés gaire la dèria per aquest home, ni per aquest disc. 'What's Going On' té tota la força política del missatge que porta, però discos com aquest, o els que vindrien després, no aporten gaire al génere, més enllà de la seva veu majestuosa. Sempre et trobes amb temes que destaquen, això sí. Aquí l'obvi és el tema titular, però 'You Sure Love to Ball' té també cos de clàssic

I can respect the music, just not for me. too slow and too linked with "old people romance" in my mind

Got excited when I thought it was Whats Going On. Love Marvin in small bites.

Very smooth and sexy, but lacks bite and funk. It’s no What’s Going On. I’m only giving it 2* because Marvin can do way better.

Hi- Let's Get It On, Distant Lover Lo- Keep Gettin' It On, You Sure Love To Ball It's unmistakeable the impact Marvin Gaye had on modern R&B, and this album evokes all the sensual tones it sets out to do just short of turning into overt pornography (You Sure Love To Ball). Even though the album clocks in at just over half an hour, it has a problem with staying power...Do we really need a second round of "Let's Get It On" (Keep Gettin' It On)? Seems like reverting to old tricks just to keep it fresh. The swoopy sax, swanky funk bass, weepy strings, smooth crooning all paints a picture of romance and the correct duration to provide the soundtrack for an anniversary or birthday celebrated by a couple on a work night (whether that couple is two people or one person with a bottle of red wine).

"Let's Get It On" is such a classic. Soulful, easy listening sound. Is just one of those songs you can hear that makes you smile. "Keep Gettin' It on" is fun, though seems to be just a copy/paste of the 1st track. The rest of the album is slow and repetitive, and just does not excite. Cannot say that the 1 great song carries this album. It does not.

Nice voice but so boring

I now know what music I'll use for the soundtrack of my next Buck Naked porno. Till then, I know what soundtrack I should use if I want to quickly fall asleep of sheer boredom.

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.

Gay rape soundtrack

Sigh! This is so dull! And a right turn-off! I'd rather make the beast with two backs with Napalm Death as the soundtrack 😅 Honestly, I'd need about a kilogram of Viagra to get me going if this was on in the background. Nope.

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

Ew.

no

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!!

Good

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.....
