Reviews (page 3 of 15)
Nok en af de mest liderlige albums nogensinde udgivet. Super clean og smooth soul. Super laid back vibe fantastisk til lange sommeraftener.
Classic.
Horniest album of all time
super solid listen all the way through. In fact, best listened to start to finish in one listening session.
Yeah it is the iconic song but apart from that, pretty lame.
Not my style but I do appreciate it. Like others said, it is very sexy.
Легенда, но так как я такое не слушаю, мне сложно оценить
Opening song is a classic and his voice is so pretty but felt very samey samey throughout
Marvin is such a master. Really. He has a way of composing an album like few others. This is most evident on What’s Going On, of course. I do think that may be the best album, as album, of all time. Every time I listen to it I discover something new. It’s a masterpiece. This isn’t as obvious. Lacking the overt social conscience, moving with the times, apparently all we care about now is getting it on instead of addressing the issues of the Viet Nam war and the economy- which like I said, ‘it’s the times. But the thing is, there’s more here. There is still a narrative line, though less clearly developed, and a sense that Gaye is using sex and relationships to explore broader issues. I can’t help comparing him to Kendrick Lamar in this respect. For instance, looking at Kendrick’s progression from Good Kid to Mr. morale. I had never listened to this whole album before, but I was familiar with a fair sampling from it. But, as an album, it really works. Idk if I am just tuned into Marvin from listening to What’s Going On on repeat since college, but I think he’s a genius. 5 Boolean: TRUE
Not his best but that’s a crazy high bar. Great!
1,9/5
Let’s Get It On Please Don’t Stay Keep Gettin’ It On
“Oh baby, you sure love to ball.” Mr. Gaye ain’t talking bout Abdul-Jabbar, he’s got one thing on his mind throughout this smoldering LP.
A classic. Among the horniest albums of all time but Marvin pulls it off so well. This album is amazing and I almost can’t take it seriously at times but it just sounds so fucking good.
cuando cachirula dijo un álbum para hacer el amor se referia esto
Dope
The first song was so random to listen.
The peak of music.
So good gives me chill vibes
adorei, ótimos clássicos, Marvin Gaye é um percurssor maravilhoso pra quem quer se aprofundar no estilo e conhecer os clássicos
niceee
marvin gaye is always a good idea. he has such a soulful and warm voice that is perfect to soundtrack so many kinds of moments. this album is a beautiful collection of him at his best.
Well, it was good for me ... LOL, in fact - it was over way before I wanted it to be. So smooth.
9/10
1 - Musique très connue oléolé, ça passe mais pas ma came. C'est bien en fond, quand la vie est belle... Globalement, passe bien en fond. Un peu vibe cowboy bebop. Mais clairement pas mon style. Ca fait pré-1990, un peu trop joyeux pour moi.
Eingangslied führt gleich dazu, dass man ganze Album liebt. Man müsste es eigentlich auch nochmal auf Vinyl hören.
Thr album starts out very strong with the title song, but then every song sounds the same to me after that. It is a very pleasant listen, but nothing but the first song stood out to me. Personally a 3.5 but I’ll round it up to a 4
Very well done, with a great bass tone. A little too on the nose at times though. 3.5/5.0: Very Good
incredibly smooth
I think I dont have soul
Man, It's Marvin Gaye, ya know? Not a huge fan of the style, but it certainly doesn't suck. And he is one of the best.
Feel like I already got this one before I joined the team one? Anyway great album, 5/5
Beautiful mood, great music
First song, five stars. Incredible start. The rest of the album, three stars. This is a prime example of why singles were a thing.
Unparalleled game. Probably his best work. The opening track has been kinda ruined by commercials. Good thing there’s the whole gorgeous rest of the album to make up for it.
tis what it is
Schon sehr bumsig
Excellent and Marvin Gaye holds a special place in my heart because he was one of the few artists my family could agree to listen to on long car rides, specifically to Florida in the 80’s.
Cover - It's strong, except the font, which is kinda ass? Love the picture though. Let's Get it On is obvs ubiquitous, but uhhh every song is just that song over and over again?? 'Keep gettin' it On' literally so. 'Come Get To This' a bit better. Yer man sure likes getting laid.
Lots of awesome familiar songs on this album. A few average ones. But a good listen.
Fire, classic, sexy, sad.
let's get it on??? whatchu tryna say?
its an album for a date. i can see the candles with wine and a little bit of darkness, very very in love
Marvin's soulful voice is so soothing. The musicians are top notch.
My pussy is soaked and I have a Y chromosome. Figure that one out. Marvin Gaye sure did.
Smoother than a shaved nutsack
While "Let's Get It On" (song) is an absolute banger, the rest of the album doesn't hold the same energy. Like many albums on this list I'm appreciative I took the time to listen to it and wish my musical appreciation was better shaped to really see these albums for what they are vs what feels more like sonic mush to my ears.
Vwen alvwm para kojer.
Classic
i dunno. maybe i just wasn't in the mood for Marvin when I listened to this but I found it rather dull
J'serais sûrement allé dans le 5 étoiles si y'avait eu plus de tounes sur gettin' it on. 3.49 étoiles
One of the smoothest at his best
My initial reaction was a little bit of laughter, the title track is almost memetic at this point, but it all holds together in spite of that.
classic rnb
Wooooow the funk and pure lure to this. Marvin gaye after some stevie wonder.. having a blast here
Sexy and smooth as shit and the title song does really make people drop their pants and screw no matter where they are. It’s got the power.
not my style but classic
I mean this was smooth. But it did get a bit samey.
loved this. marvin's a king
It's beautiful. He's got a phenomenal voice and the music vibe-tastic. Having listened a number of times, I still can't do a "I like this one, but not that one" review. It all sort of lows together giving a solid wonder vibe that doesn't require dissection. It's a love record that shows you can't dissect love. (Philosopher over here) Great album that's completely worth listening to and deserves it's crown as the love-making soundtrack. The rare 5 from me
In which our hero waxes poetic about the healing powers of (sexual) love. While understandably lauded as one of the greatest hose albums ever, on closer inspection it is a somewhat quirky beast. The three obvious come-ons (the great title track, “Let’s Get to This” and “You Sure Love to Ball”) are all presumably aimed at then-current love interest Janis Hunter. Then there are three hesitant unsure inconfident tunes (“Please Don’t Stay”, “If I Should Die Tonight” and “Distant Lover”) aimed at God-knows who which completely alter the mood/feeling of the album. The album closer, “Just to Keep You Satisfied” is a cover of an older tune reworked into a lament over the breakup of his marriage to Anna Gordy. Good tune, but a definite downer to end the album. Which leaves the odd side 1 ending of “Keep On Gettin’ It On”. This is in the form of a long outro to the original backing music of the title track. It probably would have worked well as an album ending reprise, but in its current position sounds more like a space filler than anything else. The music is great, the arrangements are great, his voice is amazing. Four stars.
Late night music for when the lights are dimmed...
good stuf for starter
Absolutely fantastic album. Gaye has such an incredible voice, the tracks are so groovy with such beautiful instrumentation. Also very horny.
clásica
Lets Marvin Gaye and get it on I guess
Not completely my cup of tea, but I see the appeal.
Good album
This is a concept album where the concept is baby makin' music. Pitchfork: n/a Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #422 Best Songs Let's Get It On
Wouldn't have chosen it to listen to in general. Enjoyed it, nice for relaxing to and some tracks great to have on in the background.
The album was fine
I love it
Ass a bass player, this album is a wet dream. It's also some of the best R&B/soul/funk I've ever heard. Fantastic album.
Yes, it’s all the same song, but it’s a great song, isn’t it? Best track: “Let’s Get It On”
Made me happy when I saw it. One of my favorite veins of music. He’s a king of music, not just his niche. This album is smooth & full of soul…everything he makes feels like it’s coming from the bottom of his being. A pleasure to listen to over and over again.
6/10 - some classic sounds but too heavy on the sex and especially having moaning in skits/songs is just weird
Just a few years before the release of this album, it was a tremendous deal for the Beatles to say ‘turn me on,’ or ‘you turn me on.’ It must have been earth-shattering for a blockbuster record to straight up be audio-porn, with the primary message gently (yet strongly) cooing, let’s get it on. Would we still be listening to songs about holding hands without Marvin, nay, listening to songs about wanting to hold hands? Would ‘I do it for the nookie’ never have surfaced in the pop culture stratosphere??? Over the years, ‘let’s get it on’ has lost some of its, well, potency. A lot of reviews here are like ‘this is sex in music form,’ or (paraphrasing) ‘I had a boner from the moment the needle dropped!’ ‘I came into this record with virgin ears, and came out pregnant with twins!’ I’ve heard the titular (sorry, couldn’t help it) track in so many movies by now, always used in a humorous, faux-sexy situation, and never in a sensual sense, that I just can’t take this seriously. If I played this for my wife to get her in the mood, she’d laugh in my face, and I absolutely wouldn’t get some. I’d have a better shot, I think, with ‘trout mask replica.’ That’s saying a lot! So, for us moderns, major points deducted for how this has faired in culture/I would never consciously listen to this and will probably never put the record on in full again sans irony. Points added, though, for sheer musical talent and for having made a splash on pop culture in the way it did to ultimately deserve becoming a parody of itself. What a paradox! Ok, ‘nuff typing. I’m going to go get laid.
Feels like a mix of jazz, blues, reggae and something more. I love the instrumentals and the rythms. Feels like a 90's romcom somehow.✨️🎲
Estaba entre 3 y 4 estrellas, pero me gustó bastante, es un 7 puntos.
This is a great album and no album sounds more like love and lust than this but it literally feels invasive listening to it. The start of “You Sure Love to Ball” just makes me uncomfortable, it’s like listening to someone have phone sex. Why would I willingly listen to that?
I love his smooth voice. Only a few hits though.
Great baby making music. My gf's head popped up like she heard a mating call.
favourite - just to keep you satisfied no notes
What a voice. I got a kick out of "Let's Get It On" being followed up a few songs later by "Keep Gettin' It On." "You Sure Love To Ball" is a jam, too.
very smooth, perfect for starting the day
Pretty damn good.
Good stuff. Groovy. Feel good.
Marvin Gaye is a gem. Title track is an all-timer.
Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On is an undeniably iconic and meticulously structured masterpiece that leans heavily into his smooth, soulful vocal prowess and masterful instrumental layering. From the immediate allure of the title track to the deeply emotional resonance of "Distant Lover" and the lush, harmonious strings found in "If I Should Die Tonight," the album showcases an incredible depth of sound -- highlighted by exceptional instrument separation -- that keeps the listener captivated, even if the occasional track like "You Sure Love to Ball" feels less cohesive than its peers. While the record's experimental flourishes, such as the uniquely percussive, off-kilter groove of "Come Get to This," might challenge expectations, and the album's expansive runtime occasionally borders on over-dimensional, it remains a beautifully produced, essential body of work that earns a solid 4/5.
Sexiness through the roof. "Who else could get away with a song called 'Let's Get It On' and then a song three songs later called 'Keep Gettin It On'. Unparalleled swagger."
Loved it, and was surprised to hear the first song.
Perhaps the most iconic opening bar of the 20th century. I don't think I had actively listened to any of the other songs before although I've probably heard them over the years. Overall a solid and consistent experience, like there's nothing that would suddenly take you out of the moment if you were playing this at a party (or makeout sesh).
9/10 Favourites: If I Should Die Tonight Keep Gettin It On Distant Lover ⭐️
Phenomenal album, this has always been and will continue to be on rotation in my playlists and on its own from start to end my entire life for sure
un muy buen álbum cortito y a lo que va, cumple
Owned Groovy
The title track is a classic. This is the album you put on when you turn the lights down low. Really good album that serves a purpose. Not something you’d listen to in the light of day with the kids in the backseat, though.
classico album di cui dovresti avere il vinile
Bell'album, ma meno bello di What's going on, anche se Let's get it on è famosissima
(60/100)
I like its vibes and some songs are remarkably good. Nevertheless, I haven't enjoyed it as much as others, maybe I just wasn't in the mood.
Listened to on my Apple AirPods Max. You know, sometimes I see an elder millenial reminiscing of their good ol' youth by making the claim that 'sex was invented with 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails', in reference to it's hammer-smash lyricism about gettin' dirty. There is no way to work around Trent Reznor's bluntness there. Of course, beyond the statement serving mostly a nostalgic yearning to a formative-years tune that would scare any parents listening, it is wrong. Sex was invented by Marvin Gaye with the release of 'Let's Get it On'. Anybody who hears the first four notes on guitar of the title track can attest to this. It is one of the most stereotyped musical references to love making, and if you haven't really sat with that song and this whole album before, it might even seem like a bit of a joke, if your only reference point is the countless usages of it in media over the years, mostly representing a comedic overplay of love. But there is no joke about the love, the passion, the intensity on display in this album. This is sexual liberation. This album is unabashed love, operating at 100% power, with not even a hint of cringe that could arise from vibes of desperation or heavy-handedness. Marvin literally pours his heart out on this record moreso than almost any artist I have ever heard. It's like you can feel the sweat from all the heat in the studio. As he smoothly glides between these belting yearns and soft, sweet pleas, he paints a picture of passion that is enrapturing. This is what love sounds like. It's the pent up energy in need of release from the title track. It's the fear of losing that once-in-a-lifetime connection in 'Please Don't Stay'. The total acceptance of the power of love in 'If I Should Die Tonight', with one of the most emotionally truthful delivery of lines I've ever heard in music: "How many hearts have felt their world stand still? Millions never, and millions never will". Those lines in particular, aside from Gaye's absolute resounding honesty in singing them, speak so clearly to the feeling of true love. This is something we learn about, it's something that we see everyday, it's something so many shoot for everyday, dream about every night. It's the carrot-on-the-stick for creating new generations of us. Yet, when you truly feel that love, it feels so singular, unrelatable, and unique to oneself. Sure, you can say you have found true love. But love like mine? It made my heart stand still, in a way millions will never feel. Just absolute perfection. 'Keep Gettin' it On' does exactly what the title says, a reprise of the title track that works better than most reprises ever do, as it's in service of well, continuing to get it on, "Morning through the nighttime". The next two tracks deal with the feelings of separation, before a sexy praise of a partner follows in 'You Sure Know How to Ball', culminating into the bittersweet send off to that true love in the final track 'Just To Keep You Satisfied'. What a way to cap off this brilliant ode to love, for love lost is just as likely as true love found. The understanding that the relationship cannot go on, even if the feelings still burn red, it's a special kind of emotional anguish. Rationality versus passion. Brain against heart. Marvin Gaye puts on an absolute clinic here in terms of barring his soul, and it is so encapsulating of the feelings of love. Of course, special mention must be made to the instrumentation as well, which is not only exciting in terms of range of instruments and composition, but works intrinsically within the ideas of love. These, simply, are the sounds of love. The squeaky guitar that opens up the album is the sound of letting your guard down, as the scene becomes just you and your partner, slowly to become into one. The sultry sax that breaks through halfway into 'If I Should Die Tonight', that is the sound of satisfaction, that even if your very life were to go, you would go fulfilled. The swirling strings in 'Just to Keep You Satisfied' with the quiet choral adornments and light percussive elements, that is the sound of send-off; it's so pleasant, so pretty, but it's is disappearing--it is quite literally the end. The rhythm is on point throughout, keeping it bouncy for the highly passionate moments and light for the reflection, and the sax that is spread all throughout is perhaps the very instrument of sex. This is a masterful album, and a resounding follow-up to the equally excellent 'What's Goin On'. That previous release from Marvin Gaye captured so many people's thoughts on the world itself, which is earnestly delivered in the form of the question that titles, "What is going on?" It's disappointed, it's unsure, and it works so perfectly to deliver that feeling that so many feel about the world they live in, an album that is still unfortunately so relevant. How do you follow up such an earnest political statement, when so many would argue that there is perhaps nothing more morally potent or important? By not letting yourself be held down by the concept itself. 'What's Goin On' is a politically charged release, but moreso than that it is an album of uncertainty. 'Let's Get it On', by that very hand, is a sexually charged release, but moreso an album of absolute certainty. There is nothing more assuring than the passion felt in the connection of true love, whether it be the throes of love gone away or the pinnacle of excitement within love making. Truly, a masterpiece.
What’s Going On is the best Marvin Gaye album IMO
It doesn’t get smoother or hornier than this.
Altijd een feestje om te luisteren naar Marvin
Ik vond het super!
Would definitly enjoy it while being high asf
There's a time and a place for this album. It was not the bus to work.
Love is in the air! It’s not as cutting edge as what’s going on but a solid, cohesive album. Turn down the lights, put this on, and invite your boo over
good one!
Smooth, sexy, but a bit repetitive
It’s criminal this album is so short - I’d of loved it just as much if it was twice as long - but it’s short and sweeeeeettttttt. It’s so smooth and Gaye just knows how to make brilliant soul music
This album is soooo fineee, this sensual soul album is perfect with his smooth and sweet voice. It does not miss throughout the album, which can definitely create the right mood. The placement of Keep Gettin' It On is just perfect.
3.5
Let's get it on! Then let's get it on again. How about gettin' it on some more? This ain't enough gettin' on yet. Why aren't we still gettin' on now? Oh c'mon, let's get it on.
A perfect album in my coming of age years! One of the greatest that still awakens those feelings today.
Close to 4
Beautiful album, lovely smooth tones and a great voice.
chill romanticon
I feel like this album is more of a straight 5, but it's like, TOO sexy and successful with what it's trying to accomplish, so for my personal rotation it has to be demoted a bit because I want my personal 5s to be anything I'll listen to all the time.
Wow great album! Need to listen to this again.
What a great R&B voices. Highlights: Let’s Get It On, Please Don’t Stay ( Once You Go Away), If I Should Die Tonight, Distant Lover. 3.9
sex. wish i could give 3.5/5
holy fuck this shit is smooth. if romance was an album
Horniest album ever? In some ways more fun to listen to than What’s Going On, though that is the more cohesive and impressive artistic statement from Gaye.
A bit ahead of it's time, I see why it is popular and revered, however nothing really stands out to me. Just nice smooth listening.
Fijne relaxte muziek.
Emblematic of that sound
Love the vibe and almost gives me autumn time type music! Added two songs to my playlist
It took me multiple days to psych myself up to listen to this on account of my conservative religious upbringing seizing me in a way I didn't anticipate, and that I'm still trying to make sense of. I mean, this is a significantly less sinful album than, say, Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood, which I listened to last week without any trepidation. But then again, that album, like so many others, basically accepts the societal framing that sex is something dirty and shameful (Vince Neil and the boys just happen to like dirty, shameful things). What I think I'm perceiving in reaction to Gaye - what feels dangerous about him - is that he rejects that framing entirely, instead portraying sex as something to be affirmatively celebrated rather than just surreptitiously engaged in, a naughty little itch that needs scratched every so often. Once I realized this, the spiritual dimension that Gaye intended for this album - which I had previously been suspicious of - opened up to me, and I could glimpse some of why he found the making of this album so liberating. I don't expect everyone who hears this to have that experience; for many - maybe even most - it will be enough that the title track still signals amorousness like nothing else in Western music, and that "Come Get to This" is beautiful and fleeting, just like physical ecstasy is and should be. And forget the moans, the saxophone on "You Sure Love to Ball" may be the sexiest sound on this album. Relax, rejoice, and if you want to tell yourself the whole thing is a Song of Solomon-style metaphor for God's love for the Church or whatever then I suppose you can. I'm still not quite liberated enough to put this into my regular rotation but I will happily deploy it strategically.
First listened on 22nd June 2026. Favourite song is Distant Lover.
An easy listen. Would put it on while going about my day, but wouldn't keep my attention the entire time.
Hardest album cover of all time. Fav track: If I Should Die Tonight
Really boring and put me to sleep. I didnt find it that good.
Most of the songs form albums on this list are about love. And to me this is the essential album about making love. Therefore this has to be one of the top albums on this list. 5/5
I just know a lot of you were conceived to this.
Siinähän se Marvin luritteli. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'd like to thank Marvin Gaye for spiritually creating Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald 🙏
I mean look it's really good but it's not great.
muy copado, recontra chill para tener de fondo pero muuuuuy bueno, le doy 4.5 estrellas pq hubieron unos temas que no me gustaron
Loved it’s a national treasure. Not as good as What’s Goin On though.
its not a favorite but it definitely is a golden timeless album. i dont connect with most songs. distant lover my fave.
Love Lets Get It On but think the rest is kinda samey (eeeek, not a popular view). God he can sing though!! And on a second listen it's pretty damn funky (especially Keep Gettin It On)
great work, funky tunes, touching lyrics
Let's Get it On es un inicio clasiquísimo, característico -por lo que sé: más bien poco- del sonido de Gaye. El uso de los instrumentos, especialmente percusión y vientos, es demasiado llamativo. En el caso de If I Should Die Tonight, las cuerdas son bellas; y, claro, Gaye está vocalmente recio, oportuno. Grandiosa canción, sin duda. Come Get To This fue agradable sorpresa: rítmica, agraciada y fina. La batería, o lo que usaron, es curiosa, como un sonido vacío y amplio que extrañamente combina con la canción. Distant Lover es preciosa. Mi favorita; no hay razón, sólo pasión. Opinión similar tengo con You Sure To Ball; el inicio de ésta, sin embargo, me descolocó (para bien). Odio hablar, en particular de las canciones. Ya me acostumbraré; pero me es imposible no dedicarle unas líneas a Just To Keep You Satisfied (la sexta ya). La canción me tocó el corazón con la sensibilidad que sólo los mejores intérpretes pueden manifestar. Los coros, precisos. El sonido extraño, como de órgano-triángulo, inmejorable; las cuerdas, juguetonas y entrañables. Me corrijo entonces; ésta es mi favorita. Desconozco la atención que Gaye brindaba al concepto y a la consecución de canciones, pues tengo la desazón de que obvió este aspecto: no siento la naturalidad que se necesita en el paso de una canción a otra. Todas Tiene un inicio concreto y lo mismo con el final; duración menor a cinco minutos; en definitiva, se han de haber vendido bien. No me quejo, todas son, como mínimo, aceptables. Admito sin pena que no soy fanático del soul -he allí el motivo de que no me guste el Young Americans-. Sin embargo, lo que hace Gaye, lo que transmite, me hizo disfrutar del álbum; eso es lo que le destaco: ser capaz de mostrarle al que no lo conoce, ni a él ni su música, un sonido que contenta. No pude darle la atención suficiente a las letras. En su mayoría, parecen románticas; en sí, todo el álbum tiene un sonido coqueto. Pienso volverlo a escuchar; no sé cuando, mas espero que pronto. Ah, sí, la portada me encanta.
Good album - short and sweet. Laughed out loud at the song title “You Sure Love To Ball”. Favourite track: Let’s Get It On
I usually don't listen to this kind of music, but Marvin Gaye is just built different. Really good album.
4/5
Banger, I hardly know her. Marvin Gaye always hits.
This album fucks, and talks about it a lot.
first song was a whiplash what the hell lol keep gettin it on is probably the weakest track but just because its a continuation of lets get it on which is fine i just wish it was something new loud ass tom on come get to this crazy hearing samples on other albums 9/10
Great
Album #145 Marvin Gaye: Let’s Get It On I normally quite dislike R&B music, which just sounds like a guy seducing me; however, if I had to listen to the genre, I suppose Marvin Gaye is really the only option (definitely not Andre3000). I’m not even that big of a Marvin Gaye fan, and I enjoy What’s Goin On a lot less than most, but I can’t deny that this album is good. Even though literally every song is about Marvin Gaye trying to fuck, he sings with enough soul that you ignore his insatiable libido. Another plus is that the album is only 30 minutes, so it never has time to outstay its welcome; perhaps that’s just how long Marvin Gaye can last without nutting, which brings upon the end of the album. To be fair to him, 30 minutes of edging is respectable for any man. Best Songs: Let’s Get It On, Distant Lover, Come Get To This Worst Song: You Sure Love To Ball Score out of 10: 7.5
I thought this one was "What's Going On?", so I spent the whole day thinking of the other album of his, only to realize upon arriving home that I had the wrong one queued. This record is really smooth, buttery, and feels really sexual. I'm only really familiar with the title track as of now.
The opening track is surely the most used romantic trope of all time. A couple of the songs are a little too on the nose for me, but I enjoyed the whole listen. Gaye’s voice is extremely powerful on this album as well as his entire catalogue. He is deservingly placed among the R&B greats.
It’s funky, it’s Motown, it’s classic. Impossible not to listen through that and feel a little warmer on the other side.
Just finished the whole album (which is thankfully 30mins) and I have Let’s Get It On still stuck in my head. I don’t know what that means but I don’t think it’s good- obviously none of the other songs stuck with me.
Would give 3.5 if I could.
First time listening to the whole album in 2026 and it is amazing!
Tacky, like the sheets in the honeymoon suite at a roadside motel somewhere in the middle of nowhere Nebraska.
Nice voice but I kinda wish he'd vary his subject matter
This album has a reputation. A SEXY reputation, at that. That reputation totally holds up. Sexy, smooth music to get it on to. The audacity of this man to put a sequel to Let's Get It On on the same album. One could argue that Keep Gettin' It On is a reprise. Smooth Ole Marvin Gaye pulled it off. 5 stars based on reputation alone. Just Far too Sexy. In Captain America: Winter Solider, Falcon suggests to Captain America to listen to Gayes' Trouble Man. I suggest you do the same.
Музыка для секса/10
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
Love it
This is way too horny
Always good
I feel like most people understand the message of the song Let's Get It On but totally ignore the follow-up message of Keep Gettin' It On. Which is a shame.
A good listen, but Marvin Gaye just isn't really my thing. I've never thought to myself, "I could really go for some Marvin Gaye." I don't see that changing.
Marvin Gaye meant this for sexy times between lovers, not dudes working on their computers on a weekday morning, but here we are. "Let's Get It On" is a classic, of course, but these slow R&B jams—even ones by an icon like Marvin Gaye—aren't my thing. 3.5, rounding up to 4.
That voice
Ok
A worthy follow up to “ what’s going on?”. It can be kind of fun to debate one’s preference for the sociopolitical lyrics of the earlier versus the super sexy style of this one, but in the end, they both got great grooves, and of course Gaye’s impeccable, soul voice. Another thing they both have in common is the occasionally grating strings. (.5 pt off).
Funky sexy marvin
Just an amazing RnB love album that encapsulates Marvin Gaye’s sense of love for the genre.
Oh, cmon, this is just good. Literally just need it to be a little bit longer than 30 minutes, but otherwise I have nothing to complain about. Beautiful thing.
Didn’t know about Marvin’s crazy lore until today
4 de 5 Obra de el funk seductor que redefinió el erotismo musical, también representa una introspección personal y de espiritualidad, que crean un ambiente íntimo, por momentos susurrante directamente al oído. Gaye argumentaba que la sexualidad y la espiritualidad no estaban separadas, buscando una "sanación sexual" a través de la música. A destacar: Track 1 - Let’s Get It On Track 3 - If I Should Die Tonight Track 5 - Come Get To This Track 6 - Distant Lover
Hyvä rento vibaileva Marvin nappaa.
Smooth summertime sex
Wenz: First thought was: Oh, is this the Marvin Gaye in one of the Charlie Puth’s songs. The songs are not really my type, but I still like CP’s Marvin Gaye 😆 Shermz: ohhh so that’s where that classic hook for sexy times comes from 😏 is this jazz?
Nice vocals. Really not my thing.
Simplesmente incrível
So nice and classy
Listened to this on a sunny day on my bike. Loved it.
this guy fucks
For some reason I thought Marvin Gaye died like right after 'What's Going On,' so I was surprised to see that this album was the follow up. It's cool to get them pretty much back to back here. I liked this one more for whatever reason, maybe the music just seems better suited for the lyrical content. "Let's Get It On" is iconic of course. When "Keep Gettin' It On" hit I was reminded of that part in "American Tterroristt" where RXK Nephew is like, "Let's get back to Jehovah's Witnesses." Great song. So many great slow jams on this album.
Just as good as I thought it would be.
If sex had an anthem, it would be the title track off this album...and it's all in the vibes. It's a reminder of how the structure of music and how a singer uses their voice can be so evocative of a mood. Now compare this with the dick swinging cock-rock of the 70s and 80s, where the lyrics were much more suggestive. There's no comparison, "Let's Get It On" is sooooo much sexier and much more apt to get you in the mood than, say, Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me."
His voice is just pure sex I am horny after listening to this
Gaye almost pulls off the same trick twice, with another incredibly smooth, funky masterpiece, expect this time it’s about making babies rather than saving the world. I felt a bit of a lag towards the end but really enjoyable listen
What a voice.
Easy listening. Sexy music. Not too memorable though but very soulful voice. Does drag a bit but good background music.
This was the sexiest record I've ever listened to. Glad Dev was here for it. Sorry Britt.
Title track obviously great but mostly forgettable after that
This is where Marvin got the reputation. Marvin dealt in vibes -
Look, I like Marvin, the classics on here are unforgivably smooth. It is a little bloated with other tracks could be better. The reprise of "Let's Get It On" by the name of "Keep Gettin' It on" is just more of the same. Don't get me wrong, it should definitely be on the list, I just think it's overhyped. I'd prefer a greatest hits.
inumerous iconic samples, the first track is very iconic too, no skips extreme consistency, and the right lenght 5 stars
Off to a great start! Marvin's voice is fabulous and it's just so unapologetically sexy and smooth. Not much else to say, expect it's just good music.
Slow jams are really not my thing, but it's hard to deny Marvin Gaye's talents. The best of this is outstanding and the rest is just very good. The album cover feels like it would be great on a very different album
Marvin Gaye – Let's Get It On (1973) It really helps to try and creat the environment suitable for some sort LPs that I get to listen, not to say that I'm in sex right now but I'm pretty sure the vibe hit when you listen Let's get it on at 1:20 am. This shit sounds amazing NGL maybe it's the vibe I don't know, but I liked mostly Distant Lover, Keep Getting it on, Let's Get it on obviously, Come get to this, and you sure love to ball. these days I was heavy on Gaye especially Got to give up part I so it felt like it was more to what was there to love about Gaye so a 5
I love Marvin Gaye, personally I think ‘Sexual Healing’ is maybe the best song ever - so his later albums, I very much look forward to. This album was lovely and had some great tracks, but I’m not sure it’ll be for everyone or is a must listen. I have a feeling some of his later work will be though, so I look forward to them hopefully popping up along the way.
Good stuff
Tremendo
Ууууууаса
So the first and title track is basically a cliche now but if you pretend you haven’t heard it eleventy hundred times already it holds up. It’s a good song. The rest of the album keeps it going too. The vocals and the instrumentation all work great together and even though there’s lots going on it’s never messy or overwhelming. Just really well crafted from start to finish.
Не мой вкус
Amazing
LETS GOOOOOOO!!!! incredible. this man was HÖRNY
A Marvin gaye no le puedo poner menos calificación
No el mejor de Marvin Gaye, sin embargo siempre cumple con canciones iconicas y excelentes interpretaciones
Romántico,relajante y chill de cojones
Well can’t go wrong with this stuff…
Enjoyable enough, although I never really got in to it in the sort of way I hoped. Good length and I might well enjoy it more with repeated listenings.
Great album of odes to carnality but the songs are all at the same tempo and the subject never changes. We get it Marvin, you want to get it on and she loves to ball. There's even a song called "Keep Getting It On" which is basically a reprise of the title track. Still, there are some great slow jams on here and Gaye's voice is a perfect instrument, smooth and silky, going down nice and easy.
Almost 400 albums in, and plenty of horny albums, but this one's gotta take the title of horniest. At the same time, it never comes across as creepy, like say GNR or Pulp, just honest and soulful. Feels like it really bridges the gap between the motown sound and modern R&B. Smooth, concise, and how can you not enjoy that voice
beautiful voice lots of sex theming, but not in a repetitive way if i ever have sex i'll spin this :3
3.5/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/marvin-gaye/lets-get-it-on/ Never my favorite genre, but I do like What’s Going On quite a bit. This one never really reaches those heights for me, although it is a quite entertaining album.
Good album to listen to at work
-came out the year my mum was born :-) -not really my thing! it's sex-saturated in a way that i don't love. also can't get over the sense that it's too poppy for my taste, which is not something i would usually complain about. -having a song midway thru your album called "keep gettin' it on" is kinda funny. man knew he had one unkillable single and made an album for shits n giggles. -favourite track is "distant lover" i like how dreamy it is. but probably not anything i'll put on much.
This album made me pregnant
No entiendo por qué gusta tanto. Me aburre un toque, está bueno para tener de fondo pero no sé si mucho más. Le doy un 3 porque el primer tema es un temón.
1. Just To Keep You Satisfied 2. If I Should Die Tonight 3. Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away)
This album oozes passion.
Está bueno y suena hermoso, pero creo que tiene canciones mejores (desconozco álbumes completos)
Very well produced, cohesive concept album that sadly has aged all too well and is still very relevant. That said, for all its fame and recognition, I found the songwriting a bit repetitive and not melodic enough for my taste. Faves: What's Going On, Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)
Sort of definitionally sensual. I don't think I'd ever be like today I want to re-listen to this.
It was a very easy album to listen to. It made me uncomfortable at times, but I understand that's the style. The lyrics made me feel flirty and undoubtedly raised the temperature. As for the music, it's very pleasant and soft. I'd put it on to fall asleep if it weren't for the lyrics.
I'd rather have a nice cup of tea.
Constant string of cheesy lovin. Perfect if you are in the right mood
Espectacular
Very enjoyable and well executed, but ultimately not life changing. I should probably listen more to this genre tho
All these songs sound the same to me.
Smooth sounds from the 70's. The wiki describes Mr Gaye's foray into the steamier side of funk, with his personal experiences with his wife and father's influences. The Moms and Grandmoms of Booktok smut girlies of today had their own erotic influences for sure.
Great title track followed by a bunch of forgettable filler. 🤷♀️
A smooth soul & light funk record focused on sex. A little too focused for me perhaps, but it also made the album a strong cohesive unit. Unsurprisingly the performances by Gaye and The Funk Brothers are super tight - particularly some great singing and great bass.
Delicious, fine. A collection of very nice songs, perfectly played. And Gaye's voice sounds perfect too. Calm from beginning to end, but with emotion.
В целом зашло
Solo el arranque es un 10
Like sex in a record. Great songs, great groove, great for that vibe. Will return to this when the feeling is right
Already know most of the songs. Some are heavy hitters but some are really forgettable. Is the backbone of contemporary R&B. Might need one more listen before rating.
Marvin gaye was the og yearner
The man just basically creates a whole genre and stylistic feel w his body of work - this one digs into love and all its vagaries
A great vibe, but did not move me as much as anticipated. His other album is simply better, and I tend to prefer Stevie and Curtis to Gaye, but I still liked it a lot. It's a groovy little record. Standout Tracks: Opener, She Loves To Ball, Distant Lover 3.3
Ok so beforehand the only song off this album i knew was Let's get it On but ??? Whole album kinda bangs
espectacular
His thirteenth album. Soul. The title track is an all time smooth and sexy classic. The whole album is wetter and harder than a vintage Peter North compilation video. Great smooth vocals with freaky and funky sex melodies. Bites bottom lip.
bueno no estoy en mi mejor momento con mis reviews, estoy muy paja. pero qsy no estoy dandole mucha bola a la musica estos momentos. q puedo decir, no es un mal album para nada, objetivamente me parece q esta muy bien. pero ns no me volo mucho la cabeza la verdad ren la unica escucha q le di. me parece q todos los temas estan buenos o al menos bien, pero tampoco ninguno me llega mas q otro ni nada. el primero es un fakin clasico y todo, pero siento q el resto son pequeños clones tipo todos bastante parecidos. si destaco algunas cosas especificas de algunos temas pero ns la escucha q le di fue muy chota como para ponerme a profundizar. me gustan los fills de bateria. ah y el ultimo tema me parece una muy buena conclusion para el album. las tematicas son muy genericas y las letras bastante simples. creo q es el album q mas veces se dice baby de la historia ahr. emm ns, esta bien supongo, simplemente no estoy en el mood... perdon martin gay pero no llegaste en el mejor momento. es un 3 supongo ahr parece q tengo tremenda depresion con esta review
Versuri foarte ciudate, mă bucur ca știu acum contextul și felul în care scrie acest artist, nu știam ca prima piesă din album, atât de cunoscută, e scrisă de el și are versurile astea
They really don't make production anymore like they do in the 1970s
Obvs v strong
This album surprised me, it was actually pretty good! I found myself finishing the album without even realizing it. It's a classic 70's R&B album that has some pretty great moments in it. I wouldn't really put it on a playlist, but I wouldn't skip it if it came up.
Такая музыка не для меня, слишком романтично-нежная атмосфера. Понравилась только самая первая песня.
Marvins voice is always going to soothe and take you to a calm melodic place. This album does that to perfection and there's a reason he is still renowned today. Beautiful album
not my bag
Baby making music. Right from the top of the album, that intro riff from “Let’s Get It On” lives rent free in my head and likely always will. This is the second of 3 Marvin Gaye albums I have rolled for this project so far, following “What’s Going On”. I love how often I’ve been able to go in order with an artists discography for this project. The RNG gods have been good to me. First observation with this album is that I’m a tad surprised it’s not the highest rated of his albums simply based on including “Distant Lover” and the titular “Let's Get It On”. I’m going to repeat something I said from my last Marvin Gaye review, and largely feel the same about this one. His voice is the biggest draw here. This might be the album with the most amount of children conceived to per capita out of any of them. I mean seriously. God damn does this man’s voice have an effect on me. I mean, the instrumentation on “If I Should Die Tonight” paired with that voice is really something special. I mean quite literally this is just made to be listened to in the bedroom, the very next song is “Keep Gettin’ It On”, lol. Much like his previous album though, you really kind of get the point after a few seconds of listening. All of the songs are quite good, but they blend together in a way that makes it sound fairly samey. I think I actually like this one slightly more than the last one. Could really do without the moaning at the start of “You Sure Love To Ball” though. This album is almost comically short for how packed with bangers it is. 31 minutes and 8 songs. It’s very tight and focused, despite being very samey. That really kind of makes me want to give it a 4, but then I went back to the previous album and saw that it was almost the exact same length and thought better. The 2 are very comparable. Voice is a 5, but there are better Soul albums that have grabbed me more than they both collectively have. I like Marvin Gaye well enough, but I can’t say he really touches me as much as he has others on the site. This is the second album in a row where if I was a reviewer, I’d give it a perfect rating for being so tight, having a great voice, and a great instrumentation. However, personal enjoyment is a 3, and I bet his final album will be as well. To its credit, I did enjoy this more than “What’s Going On”. Both are great, just not always going to be my cup of tea. Favorite song on the album is obviously the titular opener, “Let’s Get It On”. That was never in question. This concludes my review of Sex: The Album.
The opening notes are basically a coda for making happy. It’s that good! The whole albums is a cool listen….its fun to hear the echoes of 60s Motown still here in the music. In the end it’s not an album that goes further than the opening track. It’s cool…but 3 for me.
Not traditionally what I'd consider listening to, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how incredible some of the songs were.
Raunchy and romantic
Powerful vocal control
Es un album para escuchar tomándose un buen vino junto a la persona que te gusta. Tiene la capacidad de generar un ambiente intimo y sofisticado. Mi favorito de Marvin
que buenos estuvieron los discos esta semana y para cerrar, me traen al creador del coito. obrigado deus. qué album más sensual y carnal. sientes ese bajo hasta el tuetano y la voz de don Marvin es una wea genuinamente apolínea. todo en este disco está bien ensamblado y de verdad que la post producción de esta obra se siente como el marco teórico de algo más grande aún. hostia puta Marvin. te mamas
eigentlich ganz gut
Good stuff
Not what I listen to regularly .But a total classic
Easy listening all the way through and with a voice like that what isnt there to enjoy?
Computah, make this man supah Gaye and horny.
The title track is iconic and love the cover art but the rest didn’t grab me. Rating: 2.4
Oh yeah.
C'est soul, c'est chill, c'est culte, mais pas forcément ma came
J’étais persuadée qu’on l’avait déjà écouté.. Sympa… musique de sexe L’autre fois; j’ai vu un documentaire sur lui, c’est un grossier personnage (l’alcool n’aide pas en plus)
Immense banger!
Great album to listen to with the right person. Don't recommend for boys trips or prison showers.
A good start to the album with the title track, but even that gets dull quickly. I don't really get anything out of this album at all. Not saying it's bad, but it's not for me.
Álbum muy cohesivo y bien producido, con un enfoque constante en lo sensual. El problema es que esa misma uniformidad lo vuelve monótono para mí: pocas variaciones, letras poco diversas y sensación de canciones largas. Reconozco que está bien hecho, pero no me genera conexión, por eso solo rescato un par de temas y no lo escucharía completo.
Amazing album, really great
Highlights: Let's Get It On, If I Should Die Tonight, Distant Lover
I haven’t listened to every album ever made but I’m just going to assume this is the sexiest album ever
More a mood than a series of songs. From the very start, it's vibing.
Great
Moderno, sexy, para nada sencillo, transmite y es lo que cuenta. Martín Gaye logra que este álbum tenga chinches increibles
Indescribable, timeless. Favourite track: Distant Lover
Amazing album…. No words just amazing!
So emotional. Very strong lyrics.
Funky A little cheesy Good vocals
Rating: 4.6/5 Short Review: Smooth, intimate, effortlessly confident. Feels warm without losing emotional depth. Favorite Track: “Let’s Get It On.” Timeless groove, pure magnetism without trying too hard.
feels like i should be listening to this on a cold wet night while im on a warm bus looking out the window (pos) OR like i should be drinking whiskey in a darkly lit room with this on a record player I actually think this album is really well constructed, each song feels so different to another BUT it fits within the bounds of the album too?? and the placement of each song is also great generally just a really relaxing album
a classic album that’s rather samey, probably suffers from my bias thinking things are ‘done’ when they’re the original. do like the genre tho
Guy’s got soul!
Big hitter revved up for the drive home.
Incredibly suave and romantic album. The harmonies and the production are on point. Come Get to This is one of my favorite songs ever, and it stands alongside some great music on this album rightfully so.
3.5 - Good
music is love
It's good but not really my thing. I can't imagine listening to this except for sexy times, and that would feel like a cliche at this point.
Everyone knows the title track, but the entire album is a banger. Found myself dancing to it while just doing chores around the house.
5/5 for the title track. Everything else sounds exactly the same.
Such a good voice
what a lovely album. just rly nice to listen to
lit love ts album ive already listened to it before its lowk the opif of my taste ♥
godly and iconic title track, the remainder of the album is smooth, romantic soul.
