Superfly

Not my kind of music

Superfly he is not.

Esse CD é figura carimbada nas listas de melhores. Zero interesse nesse genero de música. Não me pega em nada. Ouvi inteiro meio de zoreia

Super Fun!

This album is undoubtedly monumental and highly respected in the realms of funk, soul, and R&B. While it may not align perfectly with my personal taste, it's a must-listen for any music enthusiast.

80/1001

Not my thing.

This album sounds so dated now that it's hard for me to give it a fair listen and get past the corny sound. I'm not going to come back to this, but I'm not mad about it

Classical soul & funk album. A bit more mojo would be good. And no broad violin Sound.

I'm a fan of Curtis typically, but this album was uninteresting. If I wanted to hear a movie soundtrack I'd put on the movie so I could see the context. 2.4/5 -> 2/5.

Pusherman is a bop kind of hard for me to get into, good background music but i wouldnt go for it ya know?

I'm really trying to like funk, i swear! But i can't. It's, good...? I think...

Lots O smooth funk. I finally learned where the Beastie Boy's "Eggman" sample is from! This record is aight, not really my style.

Movie soundtrack

Meh. Just so average, I don't even really have any comments. It's a movie soundtrack. 4.5/10 (2.25/5)

It's OK, average for me

Maybe this was the shit in the 70s. Listening over 50 years later I'm just not feeling it.

Not that interesting sounding

Mir zu funkig

It's fine and think there are some good songs but not really my jam. Best song - Superfly

No soy fan del genero 🙃

Not my vibe. Es muy probable que simplemente la vibe de ayer no estaba adecuada para este album.

Wow just like listening to the classic soundtracks from the 70s! Great voice and musicians. Not an every day listener for me...but a great look back at the quintessential 70s sound.

Möööööööööööööp 2 points

väldigt tråkigt

I don't feel this has aged very well

Might be an iconic soundtrack, but boring to listen to on its own.

Playing Catch Up on the Weekend #4 I thought I would like this more. I guess I thought I would recognize some of the songs, but even the Superfly theme didn't seem familiar. It's definitely a product of its time, and I enjoy a lot of the funk and blaxploitation sounds of the 70s, but I didn't love Mayfield's voice.

- vibes sind naja - fühl ich nicht - nichts was ich hören würde - naja

# Curtis Mayfield, Super Fly Released 1972. 2*. I love the talent on this album, but not the musical style. ## "Little Child Runnin' Wild" 5:23 2* Okay, it's blues-inspired. Good guitar, strings, vocals. Not something I'd jam out to though. ## "Pusherman" 5:04 2* Provocative, but not my style. Like the bassline. ## "Freddie's Dead" 5:27 2* Not my style, but the band and Curtis are really talented. ## "Junkie Chase" (instrumental) 1:36 2* Not my style. ## "Give Me Your Love (Love Song)" 4:20 3* So familiar, definitely sampled by Snoop Dogg. ## "Eddie You Should Know Better" 2:16 ## "No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song)" 4:53 2* I'm just not into light funk, I guess. ## "Think" (instrumental) 3:43 3* Fun little ditty. ## "Superfly" 3:55 3* Love the bassline and horns on this one. ## "Freddie's Dead (Theme from Superfly)" (single mix) 3:20 2* Same ranking as before. ## "Superfly" (single mix) 3:08 3* Still the best song on the album.

Some really good tunes here, but nothing particularly for me.

It is decent - but with film soundtracks the music is there to fit the film, not necessarily to fit the album, the artist, or the overall vibe. I think some of the album could have been trimmed. I recognised Superfly. Didn't do anything for me I'm afraid.

还行吧有点爵士的感觉

Nice album to listen while driving.

I can appreciate it. The funk and such. Not really for me though.

Interested to see the movie. Interesting theme of working for yourself, not the man, and not doing drugs.

Not my type of music.

This is definitely of a sound that helped define the 70's. For the most part I'm not a fan of soundtracks. They have a different flow and vibe. I never saw Superfly so I have no visuals or context to frame what this music was trying to achieve though I can surmise and I get it. On the basis of whether I liked it vs musical achievement this was OK but it's a one and done for me.

- jazzy, funky - his voice is pretty high but clear and nice - is it like a movie soundtrack? - tunes don’t have much direction, not memorable

I'm your pusherman!

not my thing

Smooth, mut en tiedä. Ei mieleenpainuva silti. Varmaan jos tietäis leffasta enemmän, tuntuu ettei tää aukea ilman sitä

Alkaa kahdella rytmisesti lupaavalla raidalla (erityisesti Pusherman on tehokas), mutta valitettavasti hajoaa instrumentaalien ja instrumentaali + laulelu -yhdistelmien suohon.

Idk if it's fair to call a 70's album cheesy (presumably it didn't feel that way at the time) but that's what i hear now

it was fine

70s soul/funk; not for me. 5/10

Ga meg ikkje så masse

I wasn't a big fan of this album when it first came out, and I'm still not a fan.

I got bored after a while 2/5

Understated vocals, and tbh, unstated songs. There's no denying Curtis has the delivery. His falsetto lulls you in to what you think will be a sweet, innocent song. The issues addressed here are bleak. It works in the lyrics, but the songs weren't strong enough to carry it for me. Disappointing.

His other album is a little better

Gister gaf ik 5 sterren voor een funk/soul album, dus ik denk dat het algoritme me een dienst probeert te bewijzen met deze schijf van Cornald Meiveld. Dit is me iets teveel Saturday Night Fever in het getto. Het is bijna een musical en dat trek ik wat minder goed. Verder geen super vervelende muziek, maar ik heb er geen klik mee. Voor de fun ook even de trailer van de bijbehorende film bekeken, maar die film ontstijgt het niveau Bassie en Adriaan amper. Wat een armoede.

La définition du old school soul, c'est un soundtrack de film et ça parait. Pas de wow, mais des beaux sons.

Como música de fondo vale. Que en su momento sería la bomba pero me ha aburrido, lo mismo hay que escucharlo una vez en la vida pero nada más.

A good funk album. I recognized a couple of the riffs as being sampled in songs. Think instrumental samples in nobody’s perfect by j Cole.

Boring 70s wash. 2/5

boring

okkk

Kein Totalausfall, aber eher langweilig.

Great funky sound and love Mayfield’s voice but all kind of blurs into one and kind of ends up sounding samey. Ended up as background music rather than holding my attention

It’s a little unusual to be listening to a soundtrack rather than a typical album today. I’ve also never seen the film Superfly, so I’ll be listening to the music without the intended context of the movie. Songs I already knew: None Favourites: Superfly I’ll be very up front and admit from the start that I’ve had the worst day in a very long time today, and as much as I try to listen to each album without any bias, there is likely to have been some impact by this when listening today. Moving on to my thought, this album seemed fine to me but nothing outstanding. After finishing listening, there are no riffs that stuck in my head and I couldn’t actually tell you how any of the songs went. No songs sounded bad, but nothing was great either. I’m sure people that love funk might enjoy this, but it didn’t blow me away.

Mediocre.

A bit too dated, too repetitive and uninteresting. Pusherman stood out, but the rest just blends together. The 70’s porn music aesthetic is there at times, but it is only a slight amusement.

Really wanted the movin on up album. This wasn’t it.

Groovy dude

Probably one of the better choices for a soundtrack addition to the list, but it's no "Minecraft - Volume Alpha" by C418, let's be honest. "Saturday Night Fever"? Never heard of her. This is strictly a "Minecraft - Volume Alpha" household. This album seems like mostly average soul to me, sorry. Not a huge fan of soul, although I did enjoy "Give Me Your Love".

A fun experience.

Listened before? N Well, it was better than the first CM album. Still not great. Instrumentation was good. Songs added to playlist: Pusherman

this type of music has never been my style so it wasn’t my favourite. It wasn’t great and the style was just eh

This movie sound track stuff is well made and well played, but still leaves me cold.

It was alright. Nothing too too memorable about it, and not much variation from song to song. Definitely a few good songs but too few and far between to make the album worth more listens. 4/10

Chill music, might use it as relaxed background music some time. Also, I think I'd known Pusherman before, so I liked that song most.

nice!

Einzelteile teils überragend („Pusherman“); das Gros und vor allem die OST-typischen Instrumentals völlige viller. 2.4

Meh

Listened to the album, start to finish. Dreadful

Svängigt! Ingen koll på filmen men låtarna ger ändå en bild av hur settingen och stämningen är i filmen. Under låten "Freddie's dead (Theme from 'Superfly')" är det kväll, det är mörkt men gatlysen gör att det skiner upp i bilen med jämna mellanrum. Personen som sitter framför ratten kan inte hjälpa sig själv från att åka med i det goda gunget som låten medför. Bäst: "Freddie's dead (Theme from 'Superfly')"

Enjoyed it - especially’thinking’ the instrumental

2 1/2

I like the inner city sound of the record but couldn't relate to the lyrics.

No me interesa nada líricamente. Muy hijo de su época, muchos arreglos, pero para mí de mucho menor gusto que otros coetáneos. Meh. Eso sí, las líneas de bajo que van saliendo por ahí molan mucho.

Lots of soul and funk. 5/10.

Mola el estilo pero el disco no es muy allá.

I really wanna see the film now to get more context for the album. He’s a very talented vocalist, fantastic range. Fav song is ‘Freddie’s Dead’.

Again, not my jam

Not for me

i was just thinking freddie’s dead sounds like such a movie song then realised the album literally is a movie’s soundtrack think instrumental is sweet i feel so annoying cus all these albums are just gonna be rated 1 for me 😭😭😭

скукотища

Very uneven. There aren’t many soul albums that hold up all the way through and this isn’t one of them. The falsetto gets very monotonous.

Shoo fly don't bother me

no!

Here’s a thing. Whilst listening to this I clicked on the album review. As nothing musically interesting was occurring I again kept clicking on links. Lo and behold I found out that if you clicked on the star distribution chart it changed to give the total percentages of 1001’s votes against each star. Amazing unlike this album. I therefore join the 2% giving this album 1 star. 1/5 30/12/25

Boring

Entspannte Mukke. Nicht mein Fall

Fine background music, but too unstructured for my tastes. Superfly was the only almost banger.

Not for me.

1972... probably fighting with my brother. Fucking pissed off with my parents. Can't wait to grow up a bit more and get the fuck out a trauma ridden, neglected household. Fuck the lot of them. Saving my own fucking soul is about as close I came to any fucking soul.

Dont touch my soul

I really don't like the vocals. Overall, this is too samey and repetitive. Nope, not for me.

Maybe the film was superfly but this album was superlame

Couldn’t listen to it

Funky

Can't be bothered with soundtrack albums. Also not my favourite genre.

Doesn't make sense to listen to in it's own. Was a movie score for a reason.

Not for me

Awful. If I had seen the movie it may have been better. Seems to be about a black man selling drugs? Lame. Not sure what the rationale is for placing this on the list. Certainly could have died happily without hearing it.

Meh.

Better than the Temptations but still not really hitting it for me. Very 70s

Boring, 2/10

Hated it

Ok

Not for me

Nope

why are we still here? just to suffer?

Un autre soundtrack…Pas super bon. J’imagine que c’est ce qui a popularisé l’artiste. Je n’aime pas le mix, particulièrement le traitement de la voix. Freddie’s Dead groove pas pire par contre. Donc pour moi, le seul intérêt de cet album est pour la pièce Superfly qui m’est mieux connue comme étant un sampling utilisé dans la pièce Egg Man des Beastie Boys sur Paul’s Boutique.

I was extremely bored.

Pish.
