Mmmmmmm
Horny, and I'm not just talking about the brass section. A deliciously sexy soul album from front to back. 4*
This is probably an objective five star, but it's not what I gravitate to.
I've heard the title track before, but I don't think I've every listened to the whole song, never mind the whole album. I liked it, very smooth. But is this a concept album about sex or just a very repetitive album? It's only a half hour long, but none of the songs really stood out for me. It started, was 30 minutes of very similar music, then ended.
This was really fun. Kind of a long EP, exploring a single motif.
damn i really loved this one 4.5/5 but that moan in "you sure love to ball" caught me off guard tho
I have paintings of three artists hanging in my office. Marvin is one of those. This is a high mark album in his career. Its style, sound, and lyrical content influenced so many.
Para cualquier cosa
Yessssss!!
The title track got me pregnant. The fact that it spawned a sequel, "Keep Gettin' It On" three tracks later, shows just how playful Gaye could be. If there's any critique, it's that it's kind of a 1-note album. It's a fun note, but it's still 1-note.
Oh hell yeah, this is an awesome album. It's a great pick-me-up first thing in the morning...(;
very boogie
I don’t love this one. Following up the political masterpiece of What’s Going On with this sexually charged album. There are some great tracks here but it doesn’t always come together for me. I know that it’s not necessarily a popular opinion but I love I Want You after and feel like that really brings it all together.
Every song is a certified jam. The smoothness just lets you glide into whatever you are doing as you listen. A hard 4. Probably 4.5.
Wow, sensual😈
Sexy in a way that is good to listen to. Smooth instrumentals and vocals. Cohesive. I would have liked it to be a bit longer
I only knew Let’s Get It On and no other songs from this album. It was perfect to listen to on a rainy road trip.
really mellow sound. great lyrics. the production too really enjoyed
Really good, some iconic songs and he has such a great sound
Classic soul single Let's Get It On and many good soul tunes.
ts got me feelin romantical
An absolute free-spirited and horny summer vibe. Some songs sound like they were definitely used for the end credits of a romantic comedy.
This is the Abbey Road for monogamist sex albums. It’s important that such work was put towards the bedroom ambience. It shows they had their priorities right. I tagged no skin in my teenage years but I can imagine those that were skinning’, the equivalent to this album was “Views” by Drake. Yuck
If there was any questions about your grandparents’ sex drive, let this album put them to rest. The pheromones are fuming from my speakers. Love this album. It’s smooth, you can sing and dance to it, and you don’t really want to play it around your parents… Unless you’re Oedipus, I guess.
Smoooth
Great album - going to rate it a 4/5. Starts off very well but I thought the last few tracks were slow and a little sad - kinda left me on a downer after the beginning of the album. I’m usually not one for really sexual albums but this one felt slightly better. Old school sexy is way better than modern day sexy. My favourite part about this album was the waa waa effect of the guitar.
Oh I’m excited for this one I feel like Keep Gettin It On is better than Let’s Get It On Solid album all around
This would be top rated just for let's get it on
The most sensual, soulful, groovy-ful Gaye yet. 4/5
Smoooooth
Listened to this on my lunch break. By the time the album finished I had adorned my desk with a velvet table cloth, lit a candle, bought myself a solitary rose and drank half a bottle of Bordeaux. Thinking of asking myself on a second date tomorrow.
I like this album. It's a really nice vibe and Distant Lover is beautiful. But that's just it. I feel this album is great for setting a mood and listening to in the background, with how smooth it flows. But its not really something I would choose a song to listen to, except for maybe distant lover.
James Taylor and then Marvin Gaye. Finally. Overall, this 1001 albums list has been disappointing. And I’m on something like my 900th album.
Album #108: Let’s Get It On - Marvin Gaye Genre (W): Soul, R&B, funk Singles: Let’s Get It On, Come Get to This, You Sure Love to Ball, Distant Lover I have not listened to this album before. Thoughts?: What a beautiful and sexy album. I love the string arrangements and Marvin Gaye’s voice. I also love the theme of the album too. Marvin Gaye is awesome. Favorite songs: Let’s Get It On, Please Don’t Stay (Once You Go Away), If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This, Distant Lover, You Sure Love to Ball, Just to Keep You Satisfied*
Este Marvin es un tipazo
This is clearly just a vehicle for Let’s get it on. The other tracks are barely even songs.
Horses for courses, and on particular courses this is a 5. However, on a day to day basis its a 3.5 (but im upgrading)
omg it’s That song
Very very smooth and sexy a bit too sensual for me but still a good album
it was my first time to listen a full album of marvin gaye. his music is not my kind but i've both enjoyed and appreciated the album.
Bra! Titelspåret är ju episkt förstås. Gayes röst är fantastisk! Jag gillade Come Get to This mycket, en låt jag inte lyssnat på tidigare. Albumet är väldigt sexigt och väldigt smooth. Cool artist med ett tragiskt slut.
Smooth Not my type, pero hay que reconocer lo bueno
Marvin is always interesting to listen to. So musical, and sang his emotions so clearly. The title track is an all timer, and the rest hold their own. Good stuff.
Solid. Most of the weight is in the opening Let's Get it On -- what a banger of an introduction to the album. The rest of the album kinda sags until the end. Was really excited to hear You Sure Love to Ball; never heard it and it was a great way to end the album.
Timeless
Let’s Get It On: 10/10 Please Don’t Say (Once You Go Away): 8/10 If I Should Die Tonight: 7/10 Keep Gettin’ It On: 4/10 Come Get To This: 3/10 Distant Lover: 10/10 You Sure Love To Ball: 2/10 Just To Keep You Satisfied: 10/10
Horniest album of all time
Not his best but that’s a crazy high bar. Great!
“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.
cuando cachirula dijo un álbum para hacer el amor se referia esto
Dope
The first song was so random to listen.
Well, it was good for me ... LOL, in fact - it was over way before I wanted it to be. So smooth.
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
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.
Beautiful mood, great music
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
Vwen alvwm para kojer.
classic rnb
Wooooow the funk and pure lure to this. Marvin gaye after some stevie wonder.. having a blast here
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.
good stuf for starter
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.
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?
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.
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 ⭐️
un muy buen álbum cortito y a lo que va, cumple
Owned Groovy
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
Ik vond het super!
Would definitly enjoy it while being high asf
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
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.
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.
Beautiful album, lovely smooth tones and a great voice.
Emblematic of that sound
First listened on 22nd June 2026. Favourite song is Distant Lover.
Hardest album cover of all time. Fav track: If I Should Die Tonight
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
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.
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.
First time listening to the whole album in 2026 and it is amazing!
Музыка для секса/10
Love it
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.
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).
Just an amazing RnB love album that encapsulates Marvin Gaye’s sense of love for the genre.
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
So nice and classy
Listened to this on a sunny day on my bike. Loved it.
this guy fucks
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."
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.
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.
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
Tremendo
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…
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
This album made me pregnant
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.
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)
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
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.
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
Ok so beforehand the only song off this album i knew was Let's get it On but ??? Whole album kinda bangs
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.
They really don't make production anymore like they do in the 1970s
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.
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
Raunchy and romantic
Powerful vocal control
Not what I listen to regularly .But a total classic
Computah, make this man supah Gaye and horny.
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
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
Such a good voice
what a lovely album. just rly nice to listen to
godly and iconic title track, the remainder of the album is smooth, romantic soul.
Man that title track is good. The rest is good too but doesn’t quite get there again. Just shy of a 5.
Smooth soul on top of a bed of jazzy sounding music. Very good but not doesn't have the same political consciousness of What's Going On. Low 4
While the opening track is absolutely fantastic, I honestly felt like the rest of the album was pretty boring. "Let's Get It On" is a great song once you get over how society has turned it into a parody of itself. The song grooves and you can really hear his passion, but then.... where does it go? Of course Marvin Gaye is a great songwriter with a fantasticly pure voice, but with the exception of "Distant Lover" there just was not enough dynamism in most of these songs for me to really get into them. "You Sure Love To Ball" was the best example of this idea for me. To be clear there is nothing "bad" about this album, but I just was not really struck by anything on here. 3.5 if possible but I’ll round up
How do you follow up such an iconic title track in your album? You don't really, apparently. You just riff around the same theme, even essentially reprising the song. But when the title track is so good you can hardly blame him. Lesson from this album is that Marvin fuuuuucckkksss. 4/5.
es verdad que es muy sexy, el primer tema lo ODIO
Soul classic. What’s Going On is a little stronger, in my opinion.
Great album
Canciones muy sensuales, lo volvería a escuchar
me gusto mucho, mi favorita fue distant love
Sexiest album I've ever heard. Very good, probably wasn't intended to be listened to while looking at spreadsheets though
4/5 1. Let's Get It On - 5 2. Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away) - 4.5 3. If I Should Die Tonight - 5 4. Keep Gettin' It On - 4 5. Come Get to This - 4 6. Distant Lover - 5 7. You Sure Love to Ball - 4 8. Just to Keep You Satisfied - 4.5
Har Doo-wop træk og er proto-quiet storm. Det er genre som er præget af natlig blød elegance som peger mod slow jams osv. ellers er det soul/smooth soul som har rødder i Gospel og RnB men blødere og mere fløjelsesagtigt. Meget mere intimt end feks what's going on synes jeg. Man bliver jo næsten helt liderlig af at høre det her. Der er også en smule funk men det tror jeg ikke at jeg selv identificerede på albummet. Jeg tror det vigtigste jeg tager fra det er at det er virkelig langsomt og sensuelt og også fritgørende og forløsene på en eller anden underlig måde. Jeg synes virkelig det er godt.
Some songs have reached the level of fame and recognition that I find it weird to think they were once just a track written to go on an artist's 12th album. There was a world, not even that long ago comparatively, where the song Lets Get It On didn't exist! Bizarre to compute. The fact there's a reprise (Keep Getting It On) half way through the album could be seen as a little lazy on a 33 minute album, but the chutzpah of it made me laugh out loud, so I'm giving it a pass. It's all great. It's all very soulful. It's all very much intented to be consumed in a very specific setting (and so is a little odd if you are actually just drinking a massive cup of tea and eating your breakfast like I was while listening to it). I liked What's Going On better as an album, but did I like it a whole star better? Not really, but as it can't get a 4.5, it's gonna have to be a: 4/5
wait i know this song tossin n tossin n tossin sugaaaar aaan somethinh what? every night, and sometimes i yearn through the day ughhh why does it give fairuz no
Favorite Track: Let’s Get It On
Blues - de fondo, chill
Great stuff.
love it, idrc about its sensual themes, I just love the instrumentals; I find them beautiful and slow in just the right way. Perfect for a calm day.
Even though the style is a bit specific in its theme, it's smooth and enjoyable to listen to. It has jazz undertones, even though it's identified as soul, and the vocals match the instrumentals so well.
So smoooooth and a great voice. I’m going to go 4.4.
🥵 Seriously, though, this is sexy, smooth, and great. 8/10 Most Excellent
Classic
2 songs about getting it on lol
You can't go wrong with Marvin Gaye
Riktigt bra skiva utan en dålig låt. Enda minuset är att det möjligen skulle kunna vara något mer omväxling över de åtta låtarna. Stark fyra tycker jag ändå att den ska ha.
Let's Get It On is an all time smooth great track. The rest sound suspiciously similar to Let's Get It On - chord progression, vocals, themes. Doesn't take away - if the album was 40 minutes, I would have quickly ran out of patience.
Actually really nice
Honestly the harmony, the melody I did expect to like this album or this type of music
sex personified
Very cool. Back half wasn’t quite as good as the front. Classic though.
While What's goin on is my favourite Marvin and perhaps all time favourite soul album. This is wonderful as well. Probably 4 stars, super smooth music
This is #day587 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… here's my first out of three Marvin Gaye records represented on the list. I'm revisiting this record after today, my day 700+, when I got a D'Angelo album, and decided to give some past soul entries, like Hot Buttered Soul, another chance. When I was done with the latter and rerated it, I remembered this one. The jazzy, funky side of the instrumentation is particularly appealing and it all sounds delicious on my Technics SU-7300. I'm settling on a 4 out of 5 eventually. Looking forward to #day588.
Pretty good overall!
I love the album, It is such a pleasure to listen to it from start to finish 4/5
marvin got it factor 3.75 vibe
There is so much talent here. This album is such a vibe. Marvin Gaye is such a great singer and the band is so good. Liked Songs: "Let's Get It On" , "Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away)" , "If I Should Die Tonight" , "Keep Gettin' It On" , "You Sure Love To Ball"
Hard to dislike! As quintessential a collection of love songs as you'll ever find. Not all the songs are memorable, but they're all romantic and smooth. As great as his 1960s songs were, it'll always have been a great thing for Marvin Gaye to have started writing and producing his own records in the 1970s.
'Tis a classic.
Rv/g
What a voice , great songs. Listen to this all day long
Marvin sabia das coisas
One of those one's I'm grading on a bit of a curve, since it would likely be a 5 star if a typical artist released it.
I don't know that you get Childish Gambino or D'Angelo or Prince without this. & even when it kind of melts over you as opposed to hooking you, it's still such a smooth listen.
Let's Get It On
I dedicated this to Harold ok?
Like the guy's music a lot. Very iconic. Album was very 'making love' focus with I think has a women moaning with pleasure in one of them? lol. Very good stuff.
Smooth and easy, this is "classy" music about sex.
Really awesome love me some Marvin. His voice is so amazing, and his music has such a great feel. I'm gaye now
I don't care what anybody says, it's sad that his dad murdered him.
Good start to my day!
i could've swore i listened to and rated this already. maybe it was before i started using this generator? who knows, guess i'll rate it again Let's Get It On - 5/5 Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away) - 4/5 If I Should Die Tonight - 5/5 Keep Gettin' It On - 4/5 Come Get to This - 4/5 Distant Lover - 5/5 You Sure Love to Ball - 3/5 Just to Keep You Satisfied - 4/5 Average score: 4.3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a voice! Superbly produced and arranged. Soul and R&B isn't really my go-to but this is a very good album and even I'm aware that "Let's Get It On" remains the gold standard for romantic soul. Four stars. Side one 1 "Let's Get It On" (5/5) 2 "Please Don’t Stay (Once You Go Away)" (4/5) 3 "If I Should Die Tonight" (4/5) 4 "Keep Gettin' It On" (3/5) Side two 1 "Come Get to This" (4/5) 2 "Distant Lover" (4/5) 3 "You Sure Love to Ball" (3/5) 4 "Just to Keep You Satisfied" (3/5) Total - 30 Average - 3.75 264/1001 142/264 albums reviewed were new to me
Very close between four and five stars. It’s that jam style that he goes for in his album, which if you want something going in the background is awesome but not very interesting for listening focused. 8/10
Sexy.
Solid album. Might be better than what’s going on. I love when an album is 30 mins and has no fluff. The sex audio at the end was a lot tho lol
"If I Should Die Tonight" was my favourite song on the album the instruments are very nice, the album cover captures the essence of getting it on, very well. The intro to the last song made me think of my corrupted evil days of love. Overall this is a great album. I would recommend
Hot and sexy
I spent the first 20 minutes cooing, who knew Marvin was so infatuated with me? Then a woman was audibly satisfied to completion and I realised he didn't want to get freaky with me. I had a good time though, even if I didn't cum.
It's so short! Several great songs. Although some parts are a bit too soft.
enjoyed it I mean whats not to like about Lets get it on. Soulful blues or bluesy soul, whatever it is I liked it.
This is sex music, and I like it. Though my fella got up, made a coffee and went for a poo for the entirety of it. 🙄 Seriously though, it's really nice music. I was sorely disappointed in the other Marvin Gaye album I had, this is more what I was expecting. So smooth.
56 albums ago I reviewed Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?", and had this to say: "Hm, let's see what's up next... Marvin Gaye! I don't know much Marvin Gaye, let me think... "Let's Get It On", "Sexual Healing"... Ah, so this is gonna be a sultry, sexy album. ~35 excellent minutes later~ Okay, I wasn't expecting anything so deep and political... and I *certainly* wasn't expecting so much about God and Jesus. Had no idea Marvin Gaye contained so many multitudes." Apparently *this* is the album I was expecting... but I also can't even call it *the* sex album, because sexual healing isn't even on it! This was pretty good, I certainly didn't hate it... but I think the best thing it did for me was renew my appreciation for the other album. This one certainly is more one-note, and less deep and interesting... but it's musically solid. I'll happily give it a 4. ...And with that, my incredible 5 album streak of 5's has come to an end. It had to happen eventually!
Might just be the best album ever to have sex to. Marvin Gaye just has that something about him, you know? So smooth, so sensual.
Great album, very listenable, not a single bad song. Bit corny but maybe a product of the times
Sexual.
This has always struck me as a quintessential follow-up album. It doesn’t hit as hard What’s Going On but it’s not supposed to.
Bisschen horny aber kann man schon hören
Krasser Typ und krasses Leben Lieb die Musik
Stand-out tracks: Let's Get It On, If I Should Die Tonight, Distant Lover, You Sure Love To Ball, Just To Keep You Satisfied
Highlights: Let's Get It On, If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This, Distant Lover Easy task for today, Gaye is a classic for a good reason. Here he displays his sexy mode and he does it in a gentle way throughout the whole record. The gentleness fits perfectly with a good number of songs which talk about heartbreak and reunion - an act where the hearts aren't racing but a bit more careful and tender. Such a nice fit. His vocals are full of emotion and they are, as it always is with him, the star of the show. I find it a shame that the record is a bit of a rollercoaster doe - one moment you have a weeping track, then a sexy track and once again a weeping one... I got the impression that the emotional highs and lows are evenly represented, so maybe he could have made one side be a sexy side and the other one be a reminiscing one. But that's kind of a nitpicky thought.
Outstanding
This is a good album, the only thing is I always listen to the albums when I'm taking my kid to school, so that was a little awkward. Overall though, the album was great, with some tracks stronger than others. Maybe a bit repetitive, but I'm not sure that's an issue with this one.
2/20/26. Really good album, love Marvin Gaye. Super soulful and uplifting, and loving of course. The instrumentation is also great.
La verdad me gustó muchísimo, un saludo 10/10, no sé que estilo de música es pero es muy parecido o el mismo a sade o a lo que escucho de vez en cuando en una playlist que tengo. Sin duda lo voy a agarrar en mis favoritos y seguro lo voy a escuchar seguido. Ya está guardado en mi biblioteca.
🥵🥵🥵
I can't be mad at an album this tight.
Very pleasant genre in general but wow this was great !
Smoove
A bit of a one track mind, but it succeeds
Classic
Silky smooth. Cohesive. Sexy. 4.4 outta 5
I only knew the title track before listening. It's a good song. Good album overall. I thought if I Should Die Tonight was quite lovely.
Good shit. Muy gracioso que empiece a puro meme. No me la sabía y me hizo mucha gracia. Buenos temas, buenas vibras, buenos tunes para el baby-making. He was hornier than a mf on god.
Track 1, side 1… bam.
War okayisch, R&B ist nicht so meine Musik. Gut gemacht ist es allerdings schon
Look, it's never going to be as good as "What's Going On." But, purely on vibes, this album is amazing. Prime bedroom material. The quality slips here and there, but it's pretty excellent. 8/10
It was a great album. The emotions it gave off were very strong.
Hot take maybe, but “If I Should Die Tonight” is a way sexier song than “Let’s Get It On” (which is still pretty sexy)
Did not expected to like it that much. I didn't know this album before but it took me one second of the first song to be like "What?! This is that?!" So yes it seems I knew at least one song. Overall solid album, enjoyed it probably will listen to it again. Perfect music for evening with book I guess.
Loveeee.

Pretty good actually
Very good
DAMN THIS FREAKLY AS HELLLL?? i like the music. not mainly my style but would definitely put it on in the car or smth. the first song caught me off guard.
Todo el álbum es sexy. Me gusta.
I love the album artwork for this, it gives a sense of passion that is obvs present in music but in a totally different way. And it really is an album about passion, the smoothest of listening experiences. Other than that, I’m not sure what I, a millennial white woman, can really add?
Suffers a bit from the fact that the title track is now like the go-to comedy song about fucking, and that just when that's gone there's another song halfway through that's called 'Keep Gettin' It On' where it's the exact same beat and the message is 'no, let's all remember that song about fucking that they'd use for the bit in an Adam Sandler film when he gets an erection'. It makes it kinda hard to evaluate it on its own merit, but for what it's worth this is some nice soul music. THAT SAID I procrastinated by reading up on the background to this record and Marvin Gaye writing about sex in general as a means to get over childhood trauma and it's very interesting, so I'm adding a star
Smooth as butter RYM: Y (#578) Saved a song: N
Just a solid soulful sexy album. I would listen to this again for sure. Really enjoyed it. I loved the way Lets get it on evolved into keep getting it on. This man sure loves to ball. 4 stars
silky smoooooth
I liked it, very vibey.
What a sexy album. I should have dimmed the lights and lit some candles to listen to this
Favorite tracks: Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away), If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This Excellent musician, but my goodness sing about anything else, my dude.
wet and blurry music smells like sex 4
Sexy…I’m saving this one for Valentines!
Not as wonderful for me as some say but the bass is superb . Obviously a must listen
A fantastic album
On an album full of fuck songs, "You Sure Love to Ball" is a fuuuuuuuck song. Glad I got to hear that one for the first time. It's a short album and there's no real need to have the title track on here basically twice. Overall, this is a really entertaining record, but definitely not Marvin at his peak. Still really good, though!
A collection of joyous soul. Not the masterpiece that What’s Going On but went down a treat on a Monday morning.
Liked it alot. i can see it being the go-to album for, when you are alone with the ladies....smooooooth
such a classic
Easily the horniest album so far. Marvin Gaye has such a soulful voice. I really enjoyed most of the album. I already knew the title track, but the other tracks continued the sultry sound. Smooth, easy listening
Very good! ★★★★
Amazing vocals and iconic title track, but there’s only so many songs about sex that I want to hear in a row before getting sick of it
Når ikke de samme høydene som What's Going On, men det trenger den ikke å gjøre heller.
What's Going On, men mer fokus på knulling. Den når ikke helt opp til forgjengeren, men fortsatt kramgo
Dette er vel bare en litt dårligere versjon av Whats going on? Nå er den såpass bra at det ikke gjør noe
Really slow, nice, easy listening. Don't have to think too much, just enjoy the lyrics and beats. Nice vocals too, as expected. 7/10
What’s an opening to the first track. Such clean production. A great walk to work this morning. Vibes, even if it descends into background music after the first few tracks.
Listened to this with my wife on Valentine’s Day. Ohhh yeah
It’s hard not to compare this to “What’s Going On?”, which isn’t fair because that is legitimately one of the best albums ever made. But I think if that album never existed, this one would be more respected. I also think the fact that “Let’s Get it On” is about sex causes idiots to go “huh huh, he’s talking about doing it!” and not engage with it as a work of art. But Marvin Gaye was trying to come to terms with being a sexual being in light of the abuse he experienced as a child at the hands of his father, who would go to murder him. Makes it less funny to go “ha ha sex!” huh? This was an artist in his prime and this album is just a small step down from his masterpiece.
really good, kinda unexpected?? really like distant lover
Very good. I see why captain America likes Marvin Gaye so much.
Гарний альбом
Listened while driving home from work. Perhaps the horniest album ever made. Sounds great!
Really enjoyable
This album gets extra points for having the international sex anthem of all time on it. A song so nice they recorded it twice like Chubby Checker twisting again like he did last summer. The rest of the album is pleasant enough, but doesn’t capture the same magic.
4/5. Funk soul do bom. Marvin inspiradíssimo.
Marvin Gaye is one of.the.best voices ever
Prime baby making music. A record so sexy you need a shower after.
4.7
King Shit
4/5 Ohhh what an interesting album. Marvin's strained relationship with sex makes this album a very compelling one that I won't soon forget.
Really solid album, almost up there with “ what’s going on”. Amazing tracks, solid lineup an amazing listen all the way through, really feel the soul. I think he’s got to be one of my favorites of the genre, though, this is four stars, almost 5.
<3
You’ve got to really get over those first couple notes of let’s get it on because it’s so recognizable and has been turned essentially into a “meme” that has been used so much in popular culture. After you actually get into the song u kinda remember like oh ya, I forgot this actually a great song and not just a joke. The rest of the album is just great, smooth musicianship.
