I fell down a PFunk rabbit hole a few years ago. It's a fun time. It's also need hearing where a lot of the Dr Dre/Snoop samples come from.

I'm not the biggest Funk fan, but there's something about the way Parliament does it that just works for me!

Great funk album. I feel like I heard half of Dr. Dre’s The Chronic in these 7 songs

Deep basses. Psychedelic atmosphere.

In the summer of 1993, at a robust 12 years old, I was in love with Dr. Dre’s “the Chronic”. Way too young to be listening; the beats and grooves were so enticing I just had to dive in head first. I had no idea the music I had fallen in love with was actually sampled and based off of a lot of this album. So, here I am almost 30 years later falling in love with this album. A+, so much fucking fun to listen to. I found myself moving and reacting to this the way 12 year old me reacted to “Let Me Ride” or “The Chronic” back on those hot summer days near the apartment complex pool. Instant 5 stars for me, so glad I found this.

Always a good groove with Parliament, and I heard of licks and beats that I recognize from later work like Dr Dre

The cover looks like a heavy metal album .... and surprise there was some really rocking tracks here! Fav tracks : Give Up the Funk

I should preface this by saying I'm not an expert on funk music, but at least off of the top of my head, I'm not really aware of any other concept albums that play within the funk genre, but it seems like a perfect genre to play around with in this way. Further contributing to the idea that these guys don't take themselves TOO seriously, they centered their concept album around something that was already fairly corny during the 70s: space and sci-fi. That said, space-y synth lends itself so well to funk music, and these guys clearly understood that! I was surprised when "Give Up the Funk" started and I recognized the song -- so iconic! I love putting band names and track titles to iconic songs that are embedded in our cultures without us being completely aware, often due to their use in movies and television! My personal enjoyment of this album comes in at about 4/5, but the album's worthiness in this project is a definite 5/5.

This has gotta be the funkiest album I've ever heard. If you like funk at all, this is a must hear.

Liked it, very funky as the name suggest

So good

Great p-funk, but lots of talking. Not conducive to working...

Great Funk for the Whole Family! Favorites: "P-Funk", "Mothership Connection", "Give Up The Funk"

Funky

Very fun album.

Wow, crazy experience. Never heard of them before and was super surprised. Some great bangers on here! Fav tracks: Handcuffs, Unfunky UFO

4!! megabangerzz

Oh damn yes. This is funk. Smooth, tight, just enough synth, chunky bass, and a sense of fun.

Funky af

FUNKAYYYY

pure funk

Great

Funky and mind expanding

WEEEE WANT THE FUNK

Absolute funky vibe

7/10, Funky

One of the best funk albums. Especially the opening monologue adds to the album experience.

1 of 1001

8/10 nice funk album, kinda cheesy

8/10. Really sounded like they were just making mouth-farting noises for a lot of the last track, but had some really enjoyable parts as well, and I enjoyed that they had a silly sci-fi conceit. I'd say 8/10 despite being a bit too funky for my taste

It's kind of silly how little i've listened to this band. Loved it

Party music! Bootsy is so sweet with it!

Funky AF

Funk

Gloriously over-the -top seventies funk.

Liked it

Just love listening to these guys. Fun!

Funky

Very funky!

I know... For all of the times that I bang on albums for repetitive, simple lyrics... But it's funk? And I want my funk uncut? But it's so good, and light years ahead of their time. Musically a 4.5, lyrically a 2-3, replay value 4.5, and 5 for legacy and influence. I can't give this one less than a 4.

I don't often listen to funk but when I do I usually like it. And this was top-notch funk by the master himself. Really gets my butt moving. 4 stars.

Never heard of this band. Recognized a ton of the samples from 90s hip hop. Enjoyed the album!

Excelente experiencia funk!

Rating: 8/10 Best songs:P-funk, mothership connection,

Record oozes funk. Extremely good album.

Funky as hell!

P-Funk. It's funk but with some weird back story linked to space. I think. Dropping acid would probably help. Best Tracks: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up); Unfunky UFO; Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker);

Oh hells yes, funk-tastic!

I have a disappointing lack of funk in my life and this album cured that. My kiddo loved dancing to it too.

Not my absolute favorite, but I appreciate it for the funk that it is.

Funky funk funk...P-funk...uncut funk ;-)

Funky party music - like it

Very cool listen

Funk is so much fun. I think I prefer it a little diluted though. Great album.

Definitive funk sound. Prominent use of spoken word. Exceptional vocal performance on “Handcuffs”. Virtuosic rhythm section. A number of catchy melodies. Deserves multiple listens.

Interesting old school funk, did know some of the songs though didn't know the album

This album is just fun. Give Us The Funk is classic and Handcuffs was another fun and funny song. Best listened to as an album I think as opposed to picking and choosing songs from it. You can see why Warren G and Nate Dogg pulled from it.

No doubt why is the foundational funk album

It's funk! Not my style, but sounded nice.

WE WANT THE FUNK, HERE COMES THE FUNK On a side note, I now understand what 'funk' means

Surprising how much Parliament has influenced and been sampled by hip hop/pop/all music. Fantastic! I love the concept of putting black people in situations that were never thought of before...Mothership, baby! WOO!

Нужно будет послушать внимательно несколько дней. Но этот альбом явно войдет в число любимых.

Very accessible and groovy. Clean disco funk basslines. The chanty slogans are catchy enough, but the vocals are the weakest point (although they typify George Clinton P-Funk).

Absolutely class, funkademic, 4/5

Never heard this album before and really enjoyed it.

Always happy to have to listen to funk!

OK, another story. In my high school days, Sudbury would not be mistaken for diverse. Of course we thought it was diverse since it had Italians AND French Canadians!. There were very few people of colour. One of my friends was black and when I crashed at  his place he played a bunch of funk which, at the time, was a million miles away from what I was otherwise listening to. The only band name I remember was Brothers Johnson but who knows, he could have been spinning Parliament too. This album certainly sounds like the stuff we were listening to back in the day.  It was influential for me so whether or not it was Parliament I have a good rating for the genre and the year of release.

Is he fucking the controls of the spaceship? why are his legs up like that? Amazing album

Fabulous Funk ! One of my favourite genres. Loved it! ***/* ?

Super funk 🕺

funkadelic funkiness!

Whats not to like?!

Funk-tioniert für mich ziemlich super in direkter Einheit mit der One Nation Under A Groove neulich. Während aber Funkadelic das Mothership dort wieder gelandet hatten, geerdet mit dicken Gitarren und Psychedelic Rock, hören wir es hier erst einmal auf seinem Weg Richtung Outer Space. Luftig schwebend, schwarz glitzernd und beladen mit diversen auf Goldfolie gepressten Street Sounds, um denen da draußen den Slang der Pimps zu lehren. Das ist sehr locker gefügt alles, hier schwitzt nichts sondern es bleibt immer elegant. Und funky, natürlich, ich weiß nicht ob das irgendwo erwähnt ist. Dr. Dre jedenfalls hat gut zugehört, und wer wie ich z.B. immer mal wieder The Chronic oder Doggy Style rausholt, der fühlt sich sofort zuhause. Für die Wärme, für den Sommer und für mehr Luftigkeit: 3,8!

buen disco

Funky. Last song sounds like farts.

Funk sin más pretensión que la de entretener, haciendo que el oyente disfrute de los casi cuarenta minutos de duración del álbum.

Very funky -- really enjoyed, despite not having listened to much music in the genre before

Très funky. Bon mood funk.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this, I did.

Some pretty funky shit!

Oh yeah, funky as anything. And sci-fi psychedelic as anything else! Fave track - tempted to say "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" due to the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" connection, but I'm gonna go with "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" as it comes across as a funky manifesto...

I enjoyed this album and the funk.

Good album. I've listened to a lot of funk music and there's something about this album that gives it another twist. It's very psychedelic and dare I say... out of this world!

I didn’t realize how many of these famous tracks were from ONE album. Wow

Whoa! Did not expect this intergalactic journey!

Pure unadulterated funk. Can't beat it. Highlights: -Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication -Give Up The Funk

Can hear heaps of Thunderfox in there, especially Unfunky UFO. Didn't like the fart synth in Night of the Thumpasorus, overpowered an otherwise sick closing track

Not really my style, but it's fun to get into that 70s funk once in a while.

Funky

Super duper funky. Short and sweet. This album has a specific vibe and when it's right it's right. No standout songs but the whole thing is just good.

Great album. Heard it before but was an enjoyable callback to some funky times

Very groovy. Nice pick, that I would have not listened to other wise.

Funky funky vibes. A true classic on the record too

I like funk a lot. I just don't like it enough to listen to a whole album through and through

It's like the sound of a sexy-ass party beamed straight into my head and it's dope as hell

Very unique, but maybe a little bit too much

Funk is fun as hell and I have not listened to it before. As my frame of reference for funk, I feel like this bar is very high. The only other exposure I have is Awaken My Love and I think this meets that on a funk level. Will Revisit, no favorite songs, 7/8.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaassssss

Spotify. Fave song “Mothership Connection”.

Enjoyable!!! Very funky and fresh and it put me in a good mood.

Funkiest album I may have ever heard

FUNKY.

Gets a bit silly in places, but probably defining p funk album

Wird but I enjoyed this

Mega funky, mega cool, not entirely my kind of thing but really enjoyable listen. 3.5/5.

Never heard of this before but the cover looks cool. Pretty fun album with a cool sound doubt i’ll come back to it though.

Funky goodness.

It's funk. It's upbeat and slightly motivational.

Some serious 70s funk.

Not my fav p-funk album but still some jams on here

Funky

Bring the funk!

Funkigt. Helt ok, men ibland blir det bara lite för mycket. Kan vara skönt att ha i bakgrunden.

Funk yeah

An interesting album that is both fairly chill and funky at the same time. Very weird, but I enjoyed it. The only problem is that it's very samey.

1975 R&B, funk rock, disco Lo he disfrutado bastante pero un tanto repetivo y raro en interludios.

A funky album, pretty nice

Somehow both groovy and a little boring

Album #266 Parliament: Mothership Connection More solid funking from George Clinton and co. Though I didn’t find this album to be too different from his works under the name Funkadelic, there were definitely some elements which made the album feel unique. I didn’t really care for the last track; it kind of just sounded like someone was farting into the mic for five minutes, but other than that, really good stuff. Best Songs: Unfunky UFO, P-Funk, Give Up The Funk Worst Song: Night Of The Thumpasaurus Peoples Score out of 10: 7.5

Funky !

Funk is not my genre, so while I can admire the talent behind the music it is the absolute definition of appointment only listening.

it's not bad at all

no está nada de mal, pero es muy para dejar de fondo mientras se trabaja y estar ok con eso.

Oh, this rating makes me look like an asshole. I love George Clinton! I just don’t think this is one of his best. There’s a few Funkadelic records I’d take over this, and within the Parliament realm I prefer Funkentelechy, which grooves and meanders in more interesting ways. This is still a great record everyone should hear! I just think the group’s got better output elsewhere.

Ok. Not as much funk as advertised

Serious funk going on. I like it, but it is a bit boring after a while. Close to four stars

3.5

OVVIAMENTE IL FUNK NON SUONA MAI MALE. SEMBRA CHE QUESTO DISCO SIA STATO REGISTRATO IN LIVE, CON TANTO DI DJ COMMENTATORE. NON MI HA PRESO TANTO E DOPO UN PO’ MI SONO ANNOIATO. 2 STELLE ALTE//3 BASSE. 3/5.

Loved it

Eh. It was OK. All of the songs were too long and repetitive, though.

It's okay

Сара 3,5 Марко 3,5

its funky.

- i like the storytelling of the album -not really a genre i typically listen to, i didn't mind it -unsure of the replay value on this - i think it does the genre very well - i was moving and grooving

aus respekt 3 Sterne aber eigentlich schon wieder vergessen. c

Funky!

Consistent quality record, little too consistent in terms of sound.

Certainly interesting and you can see how that sound was used for early 90s west coast hip hop. Good stuff.

Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication / Give Up The Funk

Es bastante movido, divertido, entretenido

So progressive and funky do like it but needs a few listens

That sure was funky. A good listen for sure.

Very funky.

Well, it's funk. You either like it or you don't, but if you're looking for something beyond a funk type of fun, you're likely to be disappointed. It's all vibes with this type of music, I guess.

2.5 stars Funky goodness. Won’t revisit but it was fine.

funky,good mood and energy,didnt expect it caught me off guard

take me back to the 70s already

mid af

Love this!

Back in the 80s I somehow got into George Clinton's Some of My Best Jokes Are Friends, very polished and funky though eccentric, not for everyone. I had listened to a bit of Parliament but it never really connected. Listening to this album straight through I was disappointed - the style was influential and still going strong but I hear too much going on, to a point that undercuts the sound as a whole. Particularly annoying 70s keyboards floating around and weakening the rhythm with random burbles. Some of the songs work but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it as an album. I'll say it's Mix of Good and Bad, 5/10.

This was a fun listen and with the obvious classic Give Up The Funk. I think it’s a good album and I don’t know enough about the history of funk to really say whether it should be considered a funk great but Parliament definitely should be. Decent and fun listen, head bobbing for 33/38 mins. Could not get on board with that last song though - killed off a good album for me.

Decent enough funk, probably heard most of it before but never knew it was all the same band. All sounds the same to me really

Today I was feeling quite funky, and by funky I mean P-funky with Parliment's Mothership Connection. I was quite excited for this project as I do have quite the soft spot for Funk and Soul music, but I just wasn't super wowed by this project throughout the entire 38 minute runtime. The two opening tracks are really great long winded pieces from the band but everything after that felt not as fulfilling and rich in my personal opinion. Unfunky UFO and Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples were both the weakest points in the album which really bummed me out as they seemed to have a lot of charm but were a bit repetitive at times. This is far from a bad project and I see why some people consider it a Funk classic, but I am just not seeing it myself and that really bums me out.

P-funkalicious

Zesty. Perhaps a tad too zesty. This was a lot for a Wednesday morning. I am glad I listened, but would need to be in a very specific mood to listen again.

I kind of love the idea of funky aliens. I probably won’t ever return to this album, but the beats were infectious and it did make me smile.

Mid

Enjoyed the vibe on this one but didn’t quite dig it overall as much as I was hoping to. I’m sure this is just me misunderstanding funk music but it seemed looser and more repetitive than I would have liked.

Probably the best album artwork so far. Way too much chatter/narration over the first few tracks that distract from otherwise good songs. Some songs get a little repetitive at times, but I think most funk fans see that as a feature rather than a flaw. A fun enough album to have on in the background more so than an intense listening session. Also, Thumpasorus sounds like there are just fart noises through half of it

Of the two sides of the collective, I definitely prefer Funkadelic’s heavier rock/funk over Parliament’s more straightforward, dance-oriented funk. That said, this is still a really fun listen. The grooves are infectious, even if the vocals are a bit too upfront for my taste.

I want a chance to get funky too

Funk isn't my genre, but this wasn't bad -- was definitely tapping my foot

funky, groovy

Good but not great. Still love this band

Had a good ride, felt like i had a good flow-state going on the DH trails. Then hopped into the car and this kept the flow state going. Good fun. We want the funk, gotta have the funk.

Packed full of funky power for its time, carries the repetition of the style without much effort to repel it, but it does sound good It can outfunk the funkiest, on earth or beyond

Funkalicious

Music is great. The chat over it is OK sometimes and way too campy at others

It was good and funky, not really any standouts for me

Funkified

Funkalicious!

These guys love some funk. Tough to not want to funk with them. A little repetitive and some weird sound choices, but this deserves a 3.25 for getting my bootie shaking.

This funk was funking funky! 3.5/5

Has some bangers, was a fun album to listen to

a melanina sempre melhora tudo né bem música pra deixar tocando em casa gostei vou salvar

Phunky sunglasses so you can keep cool 😎

"Mothership Connection" by Parliament is a classic funky concept album. I find concept of this album interesting about Afro-futurism where black people promote funk music in outer space. From this album, some tracks are great to listen like "P-Funk", "Give up the Funk" and "Unfunky UFO".I like the funkiness from the album. What I don't like about this album is there is too much many spoken word passages and tracks length are dragged too much that doesn't benefited the album. It is fun to listen from start but due to long song length it feel disconnected from the album and has weaker ending track. Overall a good funky album but lengthy songs and weaker ending track are the downside from this album.

Никогда не любил курить парламент, слишком фуфлыжные были сигареты

No está mal, pero la verdad esperaba un poco más.

Good album, even if not really my style. When it comes to funk, I prefer the fusion with rock (as in record by Funkadelic in this same project) than with disco. But, in any case, this is at least 3 or 4 stara (probably, for my personal taste, more in the 3 star range).

7/10 good fun and some gnarly synth noises here (farty one at Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples)! Amazing song names. Highlight: Give Up the Funk

today i found out that ride by dr dre is a sample

Funky shit, semi repetitive, enjoyable in the heat. Very nice

High highs and forgettable lows, but I generally enjoyed it

Cool album. Mothership Connection (Star Child) was my favorite. Overall I love the aesthetic but not a lot stood out for me. 5.5/10

Not my favourite album by Parliament- still decent heavy funk

hell yeeaah soul

Musik som är cool precis när man lyssnar, men inget fastnar, inget sticker ut från andra i samma genre. En trea

++: P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up), Give Up the Funk 8Tear the Roof of the Sucker), Night of the Thompasorus Peoples +: Unfunky UFO, Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication, Handcuffs +-: Mothership Connection (Star Child) 7,6/10

(Let me put my sunglasses on so I can see what I'm doing) . . . I can dig it, but I can't dig it more than a 3.

You either like Parliament, or you don't. I'm sort of in the middle.

I would gladly listen to most P Funk records a dozen times. Other than Give Up the Funk, I didn't have a lot of songs that cut through for me. Still, a very pleasant funky ride to space.

Funky!

This album starts off with it's mission statement: Get ready! Things are about to get funky. This is funky! It's going to be so funky, you better be prepared. Once we get passed all that silliness, this album is kind of underwhelming. Super repetitive. Eye-roll inducing cringe (I'm looking at you, Handcuffs). Give Up The Funk was fun, I guess.

I think good, also funny how some really dorky synth parts got to stay on there. Today this would be much more polished, for the worse

The Funkadelics and the Parliament, they were the best of the genre in my era

Funky!

Realizing that Dr. Dre had a field day with this album, between The Chronic and Doggystyle. Basically every song contained a sample I recognized, so that was fun. As for the music itself, funk was promised and most certainly delivered; the bass tone on Thumpasorus Peoples is about the funkiest shit I've ever heard. I see its influence but it's just shy of a 4 as I don't quite see myself returning to it so much! Standouts: P-Funk • Give Up The Funk • (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker) • Night Of The Thumpasorus Peoples

Classic funk album.

Funky

Not their best effort

so thats where music comes from

I know it’s because of the genre but album was a bit constant. I enjoyed but not an “OMG!!” album.

6.9.26 Favorite Song: Give Up The Funk (Tear the Roof Off The Sucker) Rating: 3.5/5

As a self-proclaimed "funk sceptic", I have to mildly eat my words, because this was actually very enjoyable. Specifically, the Afrofuturism elements here, both sonically and in the album cover, are very cool, and the backing tracks are teeming with sensual saxophone and plinky-plonky piano. There's still something I'm not crazy about, namely the overly-conversational style of the lead vocals which, other than the small sung refrains, seem to populate the entirety of this album, as if someone is playing a really good instrumental album next to a table of friends reuniting in a busy restaurant.

From the get with "P-Funk", just that voice, sax, soft beat and cymbals... then into the backing singers with bass and synth squeaks... this is going to be one incredibly funky album. I thought that a nearly 8 minute track, of what feels like exposition to the rest of the album, would annoy me [see by the end for this point]. The pace, which I can only describe as that of a storytellers (slow and well-textured), from the first track continues into "Mothership Connection". Another track laced with satisfyingly funky arrangements multiple vocals that them feel more like characters than singers in a song. This was another nice track, but it is making we wonder if the pace is ever going to pick up. By the time "Unfunky UFO" played, I wasn't too confident in the pace changing any time soon. The delivery, although pleasant to the ears, is less that of tracks on an album and more like a play; a funky voyage through space that insists on showing us *all* the stars and rocks on the way to the sun. And again, we plod through with "Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication", though I really enjoyed the two juxtaposed vocals on this one. Favourite track was "Handcuffs". His vocals were amazing on this track. To be followed by "Give Up The Funk" is a real shame, as the repetition in this one drove me crazy by it's end. Odd to arrange two really contrasting tracks this close together, considering the way the rest of the album was arranged. I suppose it had to belong somewhere, and it was going to show up whichever track came after it. Overall, this album was a satisfying listen, and I can see myself listening to it's tracks in the future, but in isolation. That is possibly a sin, considering that that bastardizes the intent of having all of these tracks together on an album.

First real introduction to funk. Sounded good but didn't really connect with me

Yeah, funky. It’s on my driving playlist now.

Kinda repetitive but I didn't dislike it too much

Very groovy, it's no tower of power. But I liked it.

I'm starting to think funk is close to impenetrable for me. It's the long-winded songs, the loose structures and some of the more dramatic aspects of it that just don't have me. I love it when funk is funneled through other genres (it's been a great source for many hip-hop beats, and I think Prince's Sign O The Times is a great example of funk crossover), but George Clinton's pure theatricality is hard for me to swallow. It's not really bad, it's just not the most engaging thing in the world to me. Closer to 3.5 stars but no half ratings here, unfortunately.

ok

Funk og soul lige efter bogen. Det preller dog af på mig som vand på en gås..

I tend to rate higher these alternative genres to the mainstream, mostly because they amaze me how well individualised and full of character were for their time. But by now I heard better similar albums to this one here.

Classic P-funk - great rhythms, tight band, simple lyrics, all repeated ad infinitum. George Clinton and company defined the genre, and they're really, really good at it.

Glad to discover this band. Very funky. Strong 3 to a light 4

campy and fun I like the line "We have returned to claim the pyramids" reminds me of the guys on Junkion planet in Sam's favorite transformers movie

I’m not sure if I just wasn’t in the mood for this one. I’d typically love a funky soul album. I still enjoyed it overall I think. But I couldn’t quite get into It.

Album 41/1001. Listened 6/11/2026. Took me back to college in the 90s! Definitely good beats and jams, but not necessarily one of my faves. Might listen to a few songs here and there.

gotta have that funk

not fucking with the funk/swing vibes rn it’s not terrible but I think that if I was significantly higher it would be a lot better of an album

Good vibes, fun and full of funk

more George Clinton funk (which by itself is pretty good,) but with a flavouring of sci-fi on top. not complaining! 7/10 FAVOURITE SONGS: MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION (STAR CHILD,) UNFUNKY UFO, HANDCUFFS LEAST FAVOURITE SONGS: P-FUNK (WANTS TO GET FUNKED UP)

Disco and UFOs? Of course!

I’ve always enjoyed Funkadelic more than Parliament. Rating: 2.9

На Mothership Connection, Parliament майстерно створюють атмосферу космосу, але не далекого і відчуженного, а грайливого й енергійного. І чесно, це саме те, що я і очікував від фанк альбому: харизматичні мейн вокали із заїдаючими беками, ритмічні басс із барабанами і, звичайно ж, духові інструменти, які, для мене особисто, крадуть усе шоу. Якщо розбирати окремі треки, то можу виділити "Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication", цей психоделічний синтезатор робить усю пісню для мене, пустіть його мені по венах. Звичайно ж хіти альбому теж не просідають "Give Up the Funk" і "Mothership Connection", зновуж синтезатори, бас, вокали, усе що треба від хорошого фанку. Єдиним просіданням на альбомі для мене є пісня "Handcuffs" вона непогана, але в порівнянні з іншими піснями не витримує ланку. Із хорошого ще можу виділити чудовий продакшн на альбомі, кожна нота басу, кожна ударка барабану на свому місці. З недоліків альбом мені здавався занадто репетативним, і місцями затягнутим, наприклад у пісні "P. Funk" програш займає хвилини півтори, але нічого окрім тихих репетативних вокалів і нерегулярних синтезаторних партій, нам не дають. Загалом "Mothership Connection" я можу оцінити на середню-високу 7. Альбом підкупає своїм змішуванням джазу і футуристичних елементів, прицьому залишаючись максимально танцювальним та загалом веселим і несерйозним.

Joyous 1970s funk!

Very lengthy

Good album alot of funk

It was okay. Felt a bit gimmicky.

I like it but an album of it get repetitive fast, won't be getting many relistens from me

I've had a lifetime to work out that I'm not really a fan of 70s funk, stiff-limbed, joyless Englishman that I am. However, this was quite fun! I'll never listen to it again, hence the three star rating, but it passed the time perfectly pleasantly. I nodded my head and tapped my toes at the requisite moments. Made sure nobody was watching first, mind you 🧐 Can't have anyone seeing me having a good time...

6.5/10 - Good funk with a few stand out songs. Not a huge fan of all the ad libbing as it detracted from the songs at points.

Super funky and it's a good vibe. It does get a bit repetitive at parts. 7/10

Not my personal style, but certainly very funky! I think that handcuffs was my favorite

My good god, this was very funky! Do I like this level of funk, I am not sure. I enjoyed it but also was sort of glad when it finished. Maybe it’s just too funky for me.

Funky! Definitely some good stuff, but for the most part they weren’t really songs that spoke to me.

Muito Groove e funky! Álbum bem divertido e dançante. QKZXHBB Khan.

funky

Of course I like Parliament. Bonafide and funkalicious. But George Clinton's groundbreaking band will always be Funkadelic. Parliament is more polished and commercial, which will never be an issue on my book. However, I love how animalistic and unhinged Funkadelic is.

Was that last song supposed to just be a bunch of fart noises? Give up the Funk was a fun surprise. But now I don't know where I even know that song from. Anyway, I dig the funky vibes for the most part.

Very funky. If I'm in the right mood that's great, otherwise it can be a bit much.

Very funkalicious, really like da first few tunes

Probably more used to the funkadelic maggot brain sound. Decent listen but not my favorite. Probably not great for the gym

3 1/2

No está mal, buen ritmo, un par de temas mejores que los demás, pero algunos tienen sonidos que quedan muy raros.

Good album!

Funky but never fully drew me in.

Just some decent funky music, wasn’t blown away. Nothing to complain about tho

Very cool, different, but a bit repetitive

It was cool, pretty funky. But not my vibe.

Felt very similar to Tosh's Legalize It: A genre album, one I don't listen to much, which gives it novelty, but for me just doesn't have the je ne sais quoi.

I don't really like regular jazz music, but this funky version of jazz is pretty good. It's groovy and catchy and makes you want to dance. It was a musical journey through space.

Never heard of it. Wasn’t expecting a funk jazz disco type record but I enjoyed it. I rate it like 3.5/5 but I have to be somewhat harsh or I’ll end up with a million 4s. It’s a 7/10 but 3/5.

🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑, maybe less if not for the Unfunky UFO Feels crazy to rate this low after getting funked so funktastically in my earhole, but having loved "Unfunky UFO" and "Give Up The Funk" for my whole life, I'm almost a little disappointed by the inferior funkometer readings on most of the other tracks. Most of these grooves were sparser, slower, almost as if the tempo was about 10 bpm behind, and I wonder if it's the sort of thing that hits better when you're stoned? Sober, it's not nearly so hypnotic. But I cannot be clear enough that under no circumstances will I be giving up the funk. No three star rating could wash my goats Parliament 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

Some good stuff here, but a little underwhelming. Still enjoyable!

Je suis loin d'être fan de funk, mais la fin de l'album a réussi à m'attraper.

Idk i dont really have any strong feelings abt this one. 6.5/10

No me van mucho el soul ni el funk, se me hacen repetitivos, pero la primera escuchada que le he dado a este álbum me ha sorprendido gratamente. La instrumentación me gusta, es variada y orgánica, con muchos teclados muy legendarios de los 70. Las voces le quitan un poco de puntos porque no me va mucho el coro así estilo soul, pero lo demás está muy bien. En cualquier caso, no es un disco que me pondría en mi casa cualquier día.

Getting Funky 🕺

Pretty fun, but I don't think I'd ever really come back to it 3.5

Never heard this album before and listened to it while on a spin bike and really enjoyed it. It was fun and weird sounded good in headphones

guter Funk

If you do a shot every time he says funk you will be legally blind/dead. Also, insanely farty song at the end.

Probably one of the most influential funk albums that I know of. 80s and early 90s hip hop owes a lot to this album.

meget repetitivt. synes det larmer lidt for at have som baggrundsmusik og jeg ville ikke sætte dette album på eller lytte til nogle af sangene på albummet af mig selv. men det er ikke dårligt, bare ikke det jeg leder efter :-)

Funk is not my thing, but I have to say this was a quite nice album

Ммм фанк говна

Svängigt och helt ok att lyssna på. Man märker snabbt att detta album är en inspiration för andra artister; bland annat låten Unfunky UFO har jag hört samplas i flera andra låtar. Give Up The Funk (Tear the Roof off The Sucker) är bästa låten tycker jag

No problem getting the funk out on this one....that's for sure.

I felt like every song was the same and didn't even realise i had gone through different songs

muy buenos los temas y el ritmo, tiene mucha onda. no es un tipo de musica que escuche pero reconozco q esta muy bueno y original. my preferida es la de handcuffs creo.

Hot take: P-funk is not all that interesting

É um álbum divertido, bem divertido mesmo. Mas fora isso, não achei uma escuta tão sensacional. É funky, isso vai sem dizer. Muitas seções boas, mas os skits não me fizeram nada, e a última faixa possui uns sons repulsivos, o clássico peido sintetizado. Bem irritante esse finalzinho, cheguei a tirar o fone pra deixar mais tolerável. Poderia ser pior mas não me causou muito entusiasmo não. 3.5

está bastante bueno, al álbum le doy un 7/10. Me da la sensación que es muy sampleable, pero no algo para escuchar solo

I liked but it was a bit too long for me. Fun stuff though, very groovy listen.

Мне вроде бы понравились 2-3 песни, остальные не зацепили, в основном из-за вокала, а первая песня слишком затянутая и слишком много болтовни. Но в целом мне нравится фанк, но наверное более современный.

This was groovy and funky and all of that jazz funk 70s vibes. A really fun listen.

It's fun, it's funky, it's horns can really blow. But as groovy as this is it all seems a little shallow, no?

Highlights: Handcuffs, Tear the Roof Off the Sucker (Give Up the Funk). In a nutshell: we want the funk, dig? Yeah, I can dig it. Overall: 5/10

Fun catchy vibes, although not music that I love.

Rollo duro, puro 70 sudoroso.

*1975. *38 mins. *This is just a fun time. RATING - 7.5/10

buena reco

Liked it, not a lot of major standouts but I would put it on for a fun funky vibe.

3.0

Getting Mothership Connection as today's assignment was a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, I listened to One Nation Under a Groove just four days ago and really enjoyed that, so I was happy to get some more P-Funk! On the other hand, I didn't expect my 1001 Albums Generator journey with the collective to come to an end so soon. I suppose this was a good one to finish that journey on because I actually have a little bit of history with Mothership Connection! I had never heard a track from the album proper, but we used to play "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" in pep band pretty frequently. I had a hard time hitting some of the high notes on trumpet, but it was still a fun one to play. That said, the memory of performing something is always going to overshadow listening to its studio recording, so I can't say I wasn't a little bit underwhelmed when I finally got to track six. It's still a great tune, but nothing is ever going to beat blasting it out of a horn at a football game alongside dozens of other nerdy high schoolers. Songs like "Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication," "Handcuffs" and the title track served as slightly stronger highlights for me, but Mothership Connection never quite reaches the heights of One Nation Under a Groove (in my opinion). The album is still a bit more my speed than Maggot Brain, but just doesn't match ONUAG's musicality, humor and overall memorability. While I enjoyed this album a little less than I hoped I would, I'm ultimately glad the shackles are off – there's a whole world of Parliament-Funkadelic music out there and I'm excited to dig deeper! Perhaps Standing on the Verge of Getting It On will be next on my non-Generator listening list? Highlights: Mothership Connection (Star Child), Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication (The Bumps Bump), Handcuffs, Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)

Reminds me of that Funkadelic album from more than a week ago. I expected lots of synths and space-y vibes; would have loved more modern "funk" and "groove" into it like Got To Give It Up, but maybe that's just what happens when you listen to Espresso too many times to count (3.5).

Okay

No me encantó

Me gustó el ritmo musical ,pero siento que todas sus canciones son iguales

.cool. I thought the album got better as it went along. Fantastic Voyage was my favorite.

107. not bad

Good interesting album. 5.7/10

Funky music
