Let's Get It On

Discazo de principio a fin

Un clásico precioso

"Let's Get It On" Released: June 15, 1973 "Come Get to This" Released: October 11, 1973 "You Sure Love to Ball" Released: January 2, 1974

Álbum reconocido a nivel mundial debido al primer sencillo del álbum. El álbum sigue una línea general de ritmo e instrumentos, pero nunca se vuelve aburrido

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

Iconic as this album is, I don't think it's really something that resonates with my tastes. It's too slushy and gauzy, all cooing string arrangements and twinkling vibes. However, even if it does fall, just about, on the wrong side of the line where schmaltz is concerned, Gaye's singing is impeccable. For that alone, Let's Get It On is worthy of respect, after a fashion

I like to listen to it, even not being exactly my kind of music. Maybe is just some type of bad influence, but it sounds like old romantic music for my mother....

Mola

Soul animado.

What a ways to start.....

Beautiful album all throughout. Excellent voice and songs. 9/10.

10/10 A solid set of tracks all the way through. An old favorite for sure.

1973, Soul, klingt träumerisch, kein schlechtes Album, schwache 3/5

Un disco de media hora que empieza con Let's Get It On no puede estar mal. Temazos como Keep Gettin' It On o Come Get To This. Y buenas canciones como Distant Lover o You Sure Love To Ball o Just To Keep You Satisfied.

Epic

Not as good as I expected but has some classics in

Jazz Meh

one of the smoothest fucking albums ever composed. amazing songs, just a well crafted album.

Big sex energy

RIP legend. Soul godfather

Never disappoints. I think there are more bangers on this album than pop culture will admit. Let’s get it on is great. But this whole album was great.

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.

Perfect soul.

Had not listened to the whole album before. Obviously the title track is a great song, but perhaps the album relies too much on that vibe, most clearly evidenced by the song "Keep Gettin' It On".

Liked it better than whats going on actually. Sax and flute always wins. Favorite tracks are lets get it on, lets keep gettin it on, and you sure love to ball

Highlights: Lets Get It On Just to Keep You Satisfied

A classic and always excellent.

I'm listening to some music from Marvin Gaye from 1973. Let's Get It On. The first song is of course known as a song that people listen to - to get sexy. It's a pretty well known trope in popular culture to play this song as a signifier of sexy time. It's hard to escape the connotation. Makes me think of Jack Black as well from High Fidelity. Which I think why it's important to listen to this album as a whole, and not just for the stereotypical song about fucking. I'm enjoying it so far. Wikipedia says its a blueprint for years to come on how to put together a slow jam. It makes me want to find out more about Marvin Gaye. I know there is tragedy and it has to do with his father. I wish I could connect so deeply with someone, they way Marvin connects to all the ladies and men with this record.

My man Marvin gone too soon ❤️

Lovely sunday afternoon vibes

Now that's more like it. Never listened to this one as much as What's Going On or Here My Dear for some reason but I should have! Another masterpiece. Always love the atmospheres he creates. Love him doing his own backing vocals and the interplay there. Listened to this one 2xs + deluxe edition bonus tracks.

Ahhh. I have only heard "Let's Get It On" the song in a joke context, so kind of fun to listen to it without that. It's a nice song though. I love the trumpets. 1. First two tracks are a little too similar. 2. "If I Should Die Tonight" has a niiiice silky smooth groove. Those horns tho. 3. "Keep on Gettin' It On", meh. Obviously just trying to repeat the theme of "Let's Get It On" for some reason. I would of not included this at all. 4. "Come Get to This" is a bit more jaunt-y fun. Like walking down a city street with a spring in your step. 5. At this point, I kind of dropped off. Hah. Thematically it's a bit worn out now though, like I couldn't seriously play this for seduction without laughing. Remember "Delilah" on the radio? Reminds me of that love-y soft-rock. I think there's better Marvin Gaye than this album.

Solid, but none of the songs really spoke to me

Groovy. "let's get it on" hits different when it's not attached to some movie or tv show

Baby makin music

I like the music. Sounds good.

MOre singular and personal than what's going on. Sweeping compositions on all the tracks. Super layered sound.

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.

Smooth.

Fantastic. So good. Will resisten a million times. Makes me want to caress my plants.

Real love songs that really fit the mood

Stellar

Really dug it.

Exatamente como eu esperava.

Tight, very sexual

Great voice, great vibes. Very 70s.

One or two great songs on here, ultimately a great funk sounding album. Will listen again for obvious reasons

This album is a demonstration in tone. its good, its music

Simply an incredible album

Excellent R&B (and SBFM) album

Even better that this majestic voice came right after an album from the grouchy tom waits. There was one song transition that threw me off or else it would have been 4 stars.

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

Man, Marvin Gaye is the shit

Talented singer. Very much like the album.

Great and all but gets a bit samey for me.

This shit a classic. Let's get it on is an ultra classic. The sound is just so perfect. Gaye is just so perfect. I dont know how you make something this smooth. 7/8 favorite song: Distant Lover.

Whilst listening, 5 women in a 1/4 mile range became pregnant.

pretty good.

Quite good. Very obvious influences on Anderson .Park’s sound. Doesn’t have the same impact as What’s Going On? Highlight: Come Get to This Lowlight: You Sure Love to Ball

Love love love

Great arrangements, great voice. Weaker songs in the second half.

Mega lækkert album. Smooth AF. Lutter gode numre

Simple tunes but a stunning voice and style.

Groovy jams, thought provoking lyrics that still resonate today

nie w moim guscie

Loved it. Followed it with Ain't That Good News by Same Cooke

Not usually my kinda thing but these are pleasant on the ears. I could totally see myself driving through the Vegas strip at night with this on in the background.

A classic 5/5

Marvin Gaye's tone is unmatchable. Not quite a 5 for me personally, but you can't deny the grooviness.

More like 3.6 but he's a legend

12/18 R&B Classic. Standout Tracks: If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This, Distant Lover, You Sure Love To Ball

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.

The original sex soundtrack haha. I've heard the title track but the rest is an unknown. So far pretty cool, nice and easygoing. I probably wouldn't put this in my regular listening playlist, but it's been pretty enjoyable. 3/5.

he really did get it on
