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
Quite the arse-shaker as far as musicality goes. The lyrics were a bit on the narcissistic side.
Funky! I appreciated a lot of it, and I felt a lot of it was a little drawn out. 6/10
as heavy metal goes, pretty good I suppose
Fun, I'm really glad this one came along.
A solid funk album. Some really good moments and catchy bits. Nothing that made my eyes roll too much, though the extraterrestrial characters are a little goofy. 3/5
цікавк звучання але шосб не таке прям шоб прям на 3.5
I started with "it's not in my wheelhouse" - I could end there. I did enjoy listening to it and found myself bopping along more than a few times. It's fun to listen to and interesting. It is certainly a classic in its own right. The music on this record has inspired a lot of funk and hip hop, so it's relevant and worth a listen. I respect it, but I'm not in a hurry to listen to it again.
Groovy
We need the funk! Very groovy, but wouldn’t be able to listen to consistently.
Interesting funk album that I did not know much about. Prob not on my rotation listen. Famous ‘We got the funk’ line from track Give up the funk.
Absolutely awesome funk album. Great things happening here
i wants ta get funked up (already pre-listened i am the culture king i am capital one fm i am euphoric)
Not bad. Pretty fun listen
I'm sure this was revolutionary at the time but it's not doing much for me today, it's funky no doubt
Il funk non é il mio
First of all, it was very groovy I was mesmerized in the rythm and the melody. But lyrics and aspects, I just didn't catch it. Maybe Funk is not the thing I would enjoy. But after finishing the album I was humming and doing beat box and nodding at the beat that I mimicked. So yeah I would say it was very catchy but not quiet my style. I love it still but I will listen to it maybe occasionally. So 3 out of 5.
Two classics - Pfunk - Doobie Funk
songs pretty good commentary annoying
The album's good and all. I just don't really connect to it. Maybe it's cause I don't like being around people and this is music for groups of people.
give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker): super funky bass overall: groovy, funky (great bass lines)
Funky
Doesn’t move me but nice background music for coffee shop or park family gathering type. Feel good ambiance
I thought this was quite reserved for a Parliament record. It has grooves for sure, but I’d want it to go harder and weirder. Can’t dispute this is good though.
It's good but not nearly as groundbreaking as I remember Funkadelic's stuff being. Track 1 is the best thing here by a country mile, it never quite reaches the personality showcased all over that track
Listen, I get it - it's full of samples and beats that have formed the foundation of so many of hip-hop's classics. But much like I don't need to like the taste of a raw olive to love the taste of olive oil, I don't love this album. I respect it and all it's given us....but I don't love it.
Funky en su máxima expresión. "Give up the funk", es un temazo. Me quedo con el inicio de P-Funk.
leuk funk album (wel redelijk snel klaar mee)
A great folk piece The opener was quite intriguing Lowkey has a nice groove Would've been a nice album overall if I didn't associate this type of music with a slightly strange type of people... a little npc ones Has a lot of spacey and goofy sound effects Not as monotonous as I thought it will be, only one song got me to fast forward a bit Last song was ass!! Handcuffs was the best song I guess...
The rhythm is quite good. Very funky. Felt like I was at the UFO 70s disco. It seemed like it should represent this futuristic type of shi. Love it imo.
Funky. Bassy. Groovy. Yoinky Sploinky. But at times the song goes for too long and gets repetitive.
Good stuff but not as earth shattering at Maggot Brain
I liked it, but it's not my style. Loved the instrumental stuff🙏
P-funk (wants to get funked up) - wow sax! 7/10 Mothership Connection (star child) - Halfway thru the song, vocals are so smooth 8/10 Unfunky UFO - 6/10 Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication (the bumps bump) - 6/10 Handcuffs - Catchy! 7.5/10 Give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker) - Chorus is chanty/rhythmic, i like it 7/10 Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples - gagagooga. A lot of instrumentals. 6/10 A total 70's album. Very funk, with techno-space theme in all the songs. A good album for me to listen to if I want a 70's vibe on a outing. Fun, and energetic, but a bit repetitive at times. A pick-me-up type of album. 3/5
Another excellent Funk album. Highlights: Give Up The Funk, Mothership Connection and P-Funk. 3.9
Funky but maybe too funky for me
It's alright. The one song everyone knows is good, it has a decent vibe even though it's a bit too weird in parts.
Funk
Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? Completely unfamiliar How do I feel about this artist? I do not know this artist Favorite song(s)? Give Up the Funk (I recognized this one) Overall Thoughts: Funk continues to not be my thing but this was an okay listen. Everything kind of ran together and not much stood out.
Goofy, but fun.
This record has an enjoyable, consistently uplifting vibe, but none of the tracks stand out from the rest—at least on first listen.
Ooh, SPACE ROCK? No! The first line on Wiki says, "The album is held together by an outer-space theme", and yet this isn't considered space rock (or even space funk)! Ridiculous. There are plenty of bleeps and bloops, it should count. Maybe drums add negative space points. Parliament is like Wilco: I know they're beloved by the cool kids (the online cool kids, I should say), but I never really got into them. Luckily this album is way more fun than Wilco. Another 3.5. Highlights: the idea that three relevant "faults, defects or shortcomings" a person might have are "arthritis, rheumatism or migraines". Saying "David Bowie" like they do in the oft-referenced-by-me clip from that Mylo song ([buːi]). Linguistic intrigue: 'Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication' is not the most expected compound. I would have gone 'Supergroovalisticprosifunkication', unless the "sti-" is meaningful. But I guess it does flow a little better. Phonology beats syntax every time :(
1. P-funk(wants to get funked up)- 5/10 Good starter song for the album but it nothing too special to me. I like the background music and singing but I don’t love that most of the song the main guy is just talking. It’s also a bit long in my opinion since there’s no large climax in the song so it feels a bit repetitive. 2. Mothership connection(star child)-5.5/10 Once again background singing and noise caries the song. It is repetitive again but it doesn’t bother me as much, I don’t love the lack of singing from main vocalist though. 3. Unfunky UFO-6/10 All the lyrics are repetitive but it’s alright. I liked how it wasn’t as much talking and the main vocalist was singing more. All of these songs have similar lyrics which I don’t love. 4-supergroovalisticprosifunkstication(The Bumps Bump) -3/10 I really didn’t like the how there was a very deep guys voice randomly. The lyrics are just soooooo repetitive, I can tell these songs are music forward rather than lyrics but I need some diversity in the lyrics. The background music was a little bit more odd in this one but not in a good or bad way. In a way I like the music. 5- Handcuffs- 8/10 I liked the background music and I like the vocals. Lyrics are a bit more diverse rather than the same lyrics said in a different order 50 times. I would actually listen to this. This is my favorite to far 6. Give up the Funk(Tear the roof off the sucker) -7/10 This is their most popular song and it’s definitely one of the better songs on this album. I just don’t think the constant mention that this is funk music is necessary in the lyrics. I like the little “la la la la la” it sounds satisfying. Again the background vocals are really good on this they lowkey be carrying the album. I think I’ll this to my liked songs too 7. Night of the thumpasorus people- 6/10 I really like the title that just silly. There’s no vocals in this song which I don’t usually love in songs but in this case it’s alright. I kinda prefer in a sense because those lyrics were killing me a bit. There is background vocals but no actual lyrics, I could see this being good study music because of that. Overall rating average: 5.8/10 I feel like that rating fits well in my opinion, the background singing and music was overall pretty good but the lack of singing and repetitive lyrics kinda killed it for me. I definitely prefer songs that have strong vocals but this didn’t really have it, also almost every song had the word funk I just didn’t think it was necessary and it made it less diverse and unique to me. This is my first time really listening to funk music so I’m not sure if it’s just that I don’t like it or if it’s just this album, I’ll have to see I guess.
Twas fine
this was fine but forgettable
6/10
it’s giving full metal body suit, platform heels, U I I A 🛸 i have been seriously funked up
Narration mit background music?
Funky.
I think there's something compelling at the center of a lot of these songs, but a lot of them run way too long for their own good. Handcuffs is a pretty incredible song, but I think everything else feels very meandering and pointless and repetitive, but it wasn't that bad. Favorites: P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up), Unfunky UFO, Handcuffs
I can definitely recognize a bunch of places where this album was sampled by modern musicians, which is super cool. The whole thing is super cool.
Classic bass lines and original sounding tunes for that era. It’s the best George Clinton album I’ve heard. 3.8/5.0
I laid my broken ankle upon the speakers as this record played and all I got in return was a sore foot. I liked how he pronounced David Bowie. False advertising/5
Overall decent groves but no real standout moments/tracks besides we want the funk*. Good enough background music but feels repetitive when actively listening. *Either the funk finally took hold of me but the closer is also underrated
Never heard of album or band. 20 seconds in and I can tell it’s my type of music. P funk is so funky. What a collection of sounds. Pretty Catchy too. Mothership is good not great. Very groovy. Really good production. Lyrics are fine. Clocked the regulators sample right away. Good chorus. Un funky ufo is absolutely funky. More of the same. Great horns. Greta production. It feels like all of the songs work together which I like. Supergroovalistic has just a little too much going on for me. Definitely ahead of its time. I like handcuffs better. This one is pretty catchy. Production is good as always. Kind of feels different from the rest in a good way. Give up the funk is an all timer. The production, the lyrics, the harmonies it’s perfect. This song will never die. Wish it ended with this one. Thumpasorous is just ok. Overall I like the album. Very different than most of what I’ve heard so far. ALS still being played today. 3.4 stars.
I thought that the songs were pretty catchy and in the moment I enjoyed them, but it was pretty much in one ear and out the other. I couldn't really tell you what any of the songs actually sounded like after maybe a minute after listening to them.
Fun and groovy
I lost count of how many times the word Funk was sang through the album that it became a standing laughable joke. An interesting funk experimental concept album.
Give up the funk war spaßig, alles andere ging mehr an mir vorbei 5/10
Thought this was better than expected and remembered. Second half of LP really took off for me. If I could give it a more granular score would be like a 3.3 so rounding down to 3.
Decent.
Very interesting album. I think this might be the first true funk album I've ever heard. It was a fun listen, but just didn't quite click for me. Somewhere in the "I'd listen to it if it was on but wouldn't put it on myself" category. Might try to listen to more of this artist though.
Slow start but improved as it went on
Good funk, good horns. Give Up The Funk is still good. Good, solid, concise album
I'm not that into this type of funk, but its pretty good ngl
If you like funk music then I feel like this album is for you. I enjoyed the songs well enough, but I don't think they're quite my style
This was a decent listen. It’s a nice representation of the quality of funk in this period, with a very listenable sound and a fun concept. Some songs definitely do drag on and become a bit repetitive though (there are 6 songs in 38 minutes, to give an idea). Worth a listen, but probably not a spaceship I’ll seek another journey on.
Extraplanetary funk.
Funky. I'd describe this as an album that I'd put on during a party if I wanted something that was chill but upbeat; something that's background but if you focus in on it you'd find it interesting. It's soundtrack music for a movie with a funk scene. It's grooving music with sounds and lyrics that have a rhythm that makes you bob your head but it's not really saying anything. I think it's a Classic example of funk, a true staple. Not that i've listened to a lot of funk. This is the funk that funks when I think of funky funk.
#29/1001 🇺🇸 Another album that i have never heard before save for the absolute classic Give Up The Funk. The influence of this record and the key members Clinton, Worrall and Collins is immesurable. I'm sure that all of them will appear again on this list as producers, musicians or guests with other artists. It's an album very much of its time, fried on acid, heavy funk and highly camp, but has been heavily immitated and sampled by other artists. Best tracks: Give Up The Funk, Mothersil Connection.
Uma experiencia, não é o que costumaria escolher, mas adorei conhecer.
Only knew Give Up The Funk before listening. Can't say I'm the funkiest in the bunch, but I can appreciate a sound I dont hear often. 3.5/5 - cuz as much as I'd like to, I dont give a funk
So much funk! What a fun album. Another new band for me, and what a treat to listen to. They sound like they're having a lot of fun playing, too. Would rate 3.5 if I could.
George Clinton is a genius. Out of this world.
Fun and funky! This is the length all albums should be.
So incredibly funky, and started off really enjoying this album, but it really is 38 minutes of the same. The kind of music I really like in short bursts, but is just too much as an entire album.
"We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving" — okay fine, I'm grooving
Groovy
Funk central. Fully immersive party simulation. Some tracks suffer from outdated synth sounds, and having been played to death over the past decades. Still iconic and groundbreaking piece of afrofuturist sound. Kind of weird listening to it walking around the USA in January 2026. 3.5/5 from me.
3 pushing 4 really good and funky liked it a lot but I just don’t think I’ll listen again
There is something with the first two songs that are just like a bit too monotonous. Like, its objectively funky as hell, but a very specific type of ‘talk over some riffs’ vs me being like, wow that song is really memorable, I felt something specific. but damn, Give Up The Funk is next level
Funky It’s okay just isn’t something I personally enjoy too much 4-6/10 leaning towards the lower end It’s still pretty okay Songs feel like they drag out for way too long Probably notable in music history but lowkey idk this is probably some acquired taste ahh
Honestly, I really love funk and soul, but for some reason, this concept album didn't click as much as I hoped. While it is still pretty good with great funk elements, the vocals aren't my cup of tea. The highest three-star rating I'm ever going to give on this site.
Yeah. I know this album quite well. Listened to it a bunch a few years back trying to get into it, because I like funk. Honestly, it's an album I want to like more than I do. It just doesn't really do it for me. For a funk album, it's just not... punchy enough for me. It kinda sounds like the easy listening version of funk, for me. I respect it, it's just never really been my style of funk.
Okay
This would be awesome if I was at a disco. Solid dancing music, not something i'd see out otherwise though. Their discography has some amazing album titles
there was a lot of looping, it became almost meditative. I wish they had done more singing than speaking.
Fun, energetic. This would be great to queue up with guests over, as background music or blasted all over the neighbourhood.
If groovylicuous had an album, this would be it! Groovy!
Pretty good funk
Never have I heard the word funk so many times in a row
It has the funky soul to it, and I love that. It has the blackness that is needed in a funky soul album like this. But like albums from the past, it is missing a lot to make it over 3 stars in my music taste now, but this is a good album nonetheless.
It had never occurred to me that it was possible for an album to be too funky... This pushes it to point of sounding like parody
Classic funk
Funkadelic
Izuzetno funky. Bolje od Funkadelica definitivno, ali ni ovo mi nije genijalno. Tipični funk problem, beskrajne monotone pjesme.
3/5 super funky! Not my thing per se, but interesting indeed
Bunch o songs about how funky they are. And no denying how funky they are, but there's nothing that jumps out as particularly special or interesting.
So I was disappointed with this one. Initially, since I received this album on a Monday morning, I thought, "Yessss! Some Parliament will kick me in the ass and get me moving with some funk!" I cued up my wireless speaker and started track one, "P-Funk (Wants to Get Finked Up)" as I hopped in the shower. Well...hf the track is just talking, and the rest is extremely repetitive and not the funky jam I was expecting. One fun lyric does stand out from track one: "Doin' it to ya' in the earhole." Also, wear your sunglasses! On to track two, "Mothership Connection" which started strong, and seems more funky & groovy. I also learned that Warren G took a nod from this song when, in "Regulator" he sings "...will you let me ride?" The sunglasses reference is back! Track three, "Unfunky UFO," tells you that "You've got all that is needed to save this world from a funkless hell." Well. I'm probably not up to that task, but thanks for the confidence. Great groove in this one! Track five, "Handcuffs," is completely misogynistic - "Do I have to put the handcuffs on you mama? Do I have to keep you under lock and key?" or "Do I have to keep you barefoot and pregnant to keep you in my world?" or "I don't care 'bout looking like a chauvinistic kinda whatever..." Uh... it's not funny, it's not cute, it's inappropriate plain and simple. Finally, we arrived at track six. "Give Up the Funk" was the classic Parliament sound. I was needing on a Monday morning to get the energy flowing. I was dancing around my bathroom and singing and honestly, this is the highlight of the album for me.
I liked this, felt like I’d enjoy this in the underground clubs if i lived in the 70s lol
Vibe boa, mas músicas repetitivas. Cala a boca, a música do Joselito é deles UHEHUAHUEAUHAEHUAE. Muito bom. Melhorinha, vou até adicionar na playlist. É a mais tocada do álbum, fico pensando quantos fãs de Hermes e Renato ajudaram uhahuauha. Gostei, fica com 3.
A bit slow but had catchie chorus’s, and cool funky beats. Overall pretty fun album and wouldn’t be mad at all if it was playing on the radio. 6.5/10
I liked Mothership Connection and Give Up The Funk the most.
It was alright
Not my thing but enjoyable nonetheless.
WE GOT THE FUNK WHO WANTS TO GET FUNKED UP
Funky genre I don't normally listen to but really enjoy. Hard to be in a bad mood with this playing in the background.
Simultaneously too funky, and not funky enough
Alright
funkayyy!!
I've never heard of this group before and I don't normally listen to funk so it was something a bit different for me. It's a fun album but not one I'll probably listen to again.
I can imagine loving this album in the right setting — in a club, watching someone like John Travolta dance without hesitation, completely inside the groove. In that moment, this music would probably feel joyful and irresistible. Listening to it alone, though, I find myself more of an observer than a participant. I understand why Mothership Connection is so highly praised, even if I don’t fully connect with it on a personal level.
posé, calme et à la fois original
not bad - not always the vibe, but I could see myself listening to this again. "P-Funk" was very odd
Extremely funky, though for me the album doesn't really go anywhere. The instrumentation is generally good, but I was left wanting something a bit more groundbreaking. Maybe I'm asking too much for an album of this age. Best Tracks: - Give Up The Funk Worst Tracks: - Unfunky UFO Rating: 6.5/10
cool cool cool honestly it’s kind of a drone until Give Up the Funk but it still funks
Favourites: 1. Handcuffs 2. Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication 3. Unfunky UFO Least Favourite: P-Funk
got me movin muszę sluchac wiecej takiej muzyki!!
32/1089 3.4443* Never heard more than 1-2 songs from these guys but the musicianship is first class. It definitely feels like a 70s album and the sound is so tight because of the musicianship. Also nice to hear where dre got a sample or two from! Hits....GUTF and mothership
This first track is such a long build to nothing but a good intro I guess. Great musicianship on track two and cool to hear the interpolation from Dre. It started to hit its stride at track three but I’m still pretty indifferent. I know from playing stuff like this in high school and college that it’s infinitely more fun to play than to listen to a recording of, and hopefully the live setting of this would be the missing link for me. Give up the funk is obviously a hit but feels like a 2.5 minute song stretched to 6.
Really fun Bit repetitive Few stand out tracks
Very funky sound, and an entertaining listen.
Not a big junk guy but it was ok
It's so funky! And very much a concept album. I was surprised that there's really only one song on there that's not a concept song, give up the funk.
No es mi estilo, pero definitivamente las canciones en este álbum son buenisimas

Finding funk unfun
This is a pretty fun album. I think it's probably a case where if I head any of these songs in isolation, I'd be on board, but I don't think I'd ever get the itch to listen to a full album of it. Still, the influence is undeniable, and there's some great stuff here, particularly "Give Up the Funk" and the title track. 3.5 stars.
Has one thumping funk banger with the opener “Make my funk the P Funk, I wants to get funked up”. After that the funk gets a lot more basic n bread n butter n boring and also the funky narration n voiceover gets stale really quick. The essential ingredients on this you can find wholesale on Dr Dre’s The Chronic and George Duke did this kind of P Funk better on hits like Reach For It and Dukey Stick. Low 3.5 stars. “Make George Duke my P Funk. I want to get Duke’d up.”
Bon, vraiment pas mon type de musique mais c'est groovy, ça s'écoute bien Morceau mémorable : Give up the funk
It was definitely funky, not entirely my vibe but still vibed to it.
3.75
Influential and fun, what's not to like? Well, for me this is an album that I just can't fully connect with for some reason. Maybe I'm just too boring for this. 5/10
Really (and I mean reallyyy) loved the first half of this album. Second half wasn’t bad, just not my cup of tea. 3.5 ⭐️
Started off loving this funky celebration, got bored with the sameness in the middle but it redeemed itself with Give Up the Funk. Nearly got four stars.
I'm not that into funk but the album seems nice
Fun
funky!
"P-funk" and "Mothership Connection" are fine, but i dont feel anything from it... Maybe its the genre, i am not a fan of funk in general. Seens like some disco thing. "Unfunky UFO" its good, i love the bass on this song, even not liking the whole happy and dancin vibe. "Give up the funk" is also pretty good, same dancin vibe. Well, funk is all about dancin. The bass reminds me of queen, what is a good thing. The last song was a whatever, it is not memorable. As a whole, a solid album, yet not something to listing again. Even for dance or in partys, there is better songs and albums. I guess its very of niche, not for a lot of people enjoy. 3/5.
147/1089 a very fun and funky project, such an easy listen. a good example of what i’m doing this project to find faves: Mothership Connection, Unfunky UFO 68/100
Quite a tough one to rate. Some bits I really did enjoy, especially towards the middle, but the start and ends of the album were a bit underwhelming. That last song sounded like someone was shitting themselves throughout it, kinda ruined it a tad. In general I prefer funk faster to this. However I can appreciate how well done this one was and how smooth it is. High 3
Was cool but wouldnt listen frequently
Got funked up, had a good time. But, I need to be in the right mood to listen to this album again. A+ dancing music, B- sitting and listening music Top song: Give Up the Funk
Whilst this is not really to my tastes, I can see it’s an important milestone in the history of music. And paved the way for a lot of the hip hop and R’n’B that was to follow. It just all blends into one for me after a while, take a funky bass line, add some horns, maybe a synth line, Clinton talking some gibberish and/or the chorus line singing something repetitive, then keep it going for 6 minutes or so. Happy to have listened to it, but not likely to return any time soon.
Super funky. I loved it. The last song sounded like farts though.
Funkkia, ei ainakaan parasta sellaista. Vähän futuristisen kuuloisia synia. Mut ok. Parhaat: Unfunky UFO, Give Up The Funk
Im still not huge on the whole funk thing. Maybe it's me, maybe it's funk. But it all boils down to wockawocka wow wow chicka chicka bowwww. This has some nice instrumentation though, so I liked it more than most funk. 3/5
I was excited for this album. What a letdown. The album wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable. I only remember my rating, not even what I had to say about it.
Very good but I didn't like it.
7.3
This album turned me into a martian
Fun and funky, this album reminds you that they’re playing funk. A lot. I enjoyed each song individually and would play most of them at any given event, but the songs definitely blended together as they weren’t demonstrably different song to song. Still, I enjoyed it and will certainly listen to Give Up The Funk again.
I enjoy Parliament but find the music to be a bit repetitious at times.
Is this a great funk album? Probably. Do I like funk? Evidently not much.Do I think this would be much better live? Definitely. Saying that, I did think all this before the album started playing again and I was then singing along myself, so I may be lying a little too myself. Still, while I don't think I'll be seeking out more funk, I won't turn it off.
Normal funk, but I liked the concept.
A sonic experience. Total headphones record. It's so ubiquitous a sound that it wears a little repetitive after nearly 50 years. Can't imagine what a party one of these shows would have been back in the day.
Very smoooooooth funk
I remember playing Give Up The Funk in my high school pep band.
An unexpected sample from a Snoop Dogg song is always a welcome surprise. I like the funk but some of those songs were a little too funky. Would be heat at the club though.
A fairly standard funky affair - perhaps not up to the heights of Flash Light, but there are some fat slabs of funk here for sure. Favourite tracks: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up), Mothership Connection (Star Child), Handcuffs, Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker).
This was pretty good and Ican think that people thought this was ot of the ordinary in 1975. Couple of groovy tracks, but couple of lame ones too.
Good old Funk with a view hits

I'm not into funk, but this is F.U.N.K!!!!!!!
Easy funk
Not a huge funk fan but hard not to dance listening to this album.
Although not my style of music typically, this was quite the vibe and I heard the origination of so manu influences.
George Clinton, as important as he is to the funk movement, recently collaborated with Dance Gavin Dance. I'm not really sure how that was arranged nor why it sounds good. Also, Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples is mostly farting noises
I didn't hate it but i didn't love it. It was pure funk. Each song sounded a lot a like, really playing into the funk sound. I danced along, but it wasn't anything super special or different.
I had this album in rotation 20+ years ago and I most remember it for being the alol out funk fest thst it is. I love the vibe but never fell head over heels for the album overall. I definitely feel the same way now. Great 70’s funk party vibe that holds its own in any decade. 3.5 stars
Ok but not really my.style - sure someone else's though, thx !
This album was like nothing I have heard before! I was really enjoying it in the beginning of the album but towards the end I was losing the desire to listen
Allora 40 min di funk un po’ too much, però magari presi singolarmente i pezzi sono belli
First listen, but I re-listened to it later in the day. I've never actually sat down and listened to a pure funk album before. The closest I've gotten are the smatterings of funk on TPAB (as well as a host of other albums, I'm sure), on which George Clinton fittingly enough features. Mothership Connection sounds really good; good enough that I was willing to give it a second listen, even. It has a ton of personality; I love the spoken word opening section, and the repeated 'ga-ga-goo-gah's on the closer, for instance. Still, maybe it's just because I lack the exposure to the genre necessary to really appreciate it, but it didn't really excite me enough to give it a 4. It got pretty repetitive in certain sections; particularly on the penultimate track. Still, I liked it. It was fun. Fav. Track: Unfunky UFO Reaction: 🙂
Ending this list on the funkiest album on this list was a decision I didn't expect... But here we are
NICE
This was fine. About what I expected as far as funkiness. It’s almost humorous.
Undeniable grooves. Killer synths. The songs are barely there, which makes a close listen a little repetitive. That’s not the point, of course.
„Mothership Connection“ von Parliament erschien 1976 und gilt als eines der zentralen Werke des Funk. Die Band um George Clinton, bestehend aus US-amerikanischen Musiker:innen, nahm das Album in den United Sound Systems Studios in Detroit und den Sound Ideas Studios in New York auf. Es vereint Funk, Soul und Jazz mit einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Humor und Science-Fiction-Ästhetik. Songs wie „P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)“, „Mothership Connection (Star Child)“ und „Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)“ wurden zu Klassikern des Genres und prägten den Funk-Sound der späten 1970er-Jahre nachhaltig. Der Einsatz von Bläsern, verzerrten Bässen und mehrstimmigem Gesang verleiht dem Album eine dichte, pulsierende Atmosphäre. Inhaltlich inszeniert Clinton das P-Funk-Universum als eine Art afrofuturistische Befreiungsgeschichte, in der Musik als spirituelle und soziale Kraft wirkt. „Mothership Connection“ ist ein herausragendes Beispiel für die kreative Energie der Funk-Ära – verspielt, eigenwillig und zugleich präzise arrangiert.
6/10
Good, but not amazing.
Funny album. But a bit annoying. And not so funky.
Out there sounds and funk grooves that will sampled until the end of music.
Funk yea! Never realized how many rap artists stole from Parliment!
I’ve never actually truly listened to the 1975 before. Enjoyed it, but don’t feel like I’ve missed out.
Interesting that so many songs feel too slow to dance to. It's an intellectual exercise on the nature of One. 6/10
C’est chill
Not a big funk guy, very repetitive, but enjoyable
This was a fun funk time. Nothing all that special.
Listened to on RS list (#363). Fun and funky. "Give up the funk" is a classic
Nach de erste tön sehr moti uf widermal es tops funk album gsi! Spass gha, aber au ned uf en andere Planet katapultiert, und das, obwohl ich ja Timon G-Funkmon heisse. 3 Funky Funkster
Fönkyyy Aber au biz too much wo lauft i de songs zum na besseri bewertig z becho. Amber wür em 4 geh, michele isch aber streng und gid 3 hoseknöpf
I have my sunglasses on, and I'm feeling groovy, but ... this didn't quite groove enough for me.
Solid...enjoyed the funk.
I enjoyed this album
They said they would deliver the funk and delivered as advertised. Its clearly a live band and this album just lays the groundwork for their shows.
Not my thing really, but as with most of these albums - enjoyed the fact I am listening to a breadth of music I wouldn’t otherwise dig out
I see where Dr. Dre got all his samples!
It was very good melody with my favorite song being handcuffs which was a amazing funk listen but the rest of the songs felt a little repetitive. Sound like an album that can act as amazing sample for rap and other music. 6/10
This is indeed funky, but I don't think it is really sticking for me. Not quite my thing beyond being decent background music I guess. Unfunky UFO is good though!
Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication walked so Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik could run.
(70/100)
It was ok. Kindof repetitive.
Really enjoyed this.
Almost TOO funky for me to handle
Great moments are great
This album is the DNA of half the hip-hop samples I’ve ever heard
This was FUN
Solid fun funk album here. Little samey at times but it’s pretty good
Heard of Parliament but never actually listened to their music before. Can't say no to funk, it was fun to listen to 3/5
It's fun, but it does get a little repetitive.
Tulevaisuus funkia. Oikein hienoa
6/10
Enjoyable, but not my style. ★★★
Gotta love the funk.
funky but boring
Auténticos hitazos de funk, me gusta mucho como desarrollan este estilo que, en algunos álbumes me llega a aburrir pero no es el caso.
It's ok. Good for what it is I suppose.
A true three. Straight down the middle, no questions asked
Sounds to strut to
Funkalicious
Funky and high energy. I liked it much more than I expected.
very funky although the song where they said googoo gaga x10000 was a bit of a drag
Super funktastic!
Está guapo, las dos ultimas mis favoritas.
Funky, but too much lyrics.
now i know where another part of a riff off from pitch perfect is from lol but very fun album
I'm enjoying the concept album lol. It could be because I'm listening to this album at 3:30am in a library hyped on adrenaline, caffeine and impending doom but I'm really enjoying this T_T It wouldn't be on my usual rotation but I found it really enjoyable lol. Solid 3! Top Songs: Mothership Connection (Star Child) Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication (The Bumps Bump)
So ridiculously good and fun.
ayyyy what the hell are we sayin man? I got no idea man I'm just hungry and talkin about the galaxy and trains, I think they buyin it tho
El funk no falla nunca
solid funk. still feels fresh.
Extra funky. It was fun but probably wouldn’t listen to again
Funk, Funk & nothing but the Funk. Enjoyed it but I was a little disappointed and I've seen Parliament live.
Enjoyed the back half more than the first 3 songs
My first official funk album! The energetic grooves on this album deeply entertained my ears. I don't think I would have listened to this on my own, but I really enjoyed having it on.
bunicel da prea lung
I completely understand the importance of some of these records, and while somewhat entertaining this record just doesn’t really connect with me. Again, I get the influential nature and importance, just didn’t really like it that much.
Nice songs! Eventually got boring, but I still appreciate it
Funk, funk, funk. Perfekt bakgrundsplatta. Inget man sätter sig och lyssnar koncentrerat på. Men, bra!
It was fun and there are some great songs!
This is pretty good. If you were a fan of 90s hip hop then you have heard most of this album already. Deserves to be on the list.
Very very fonky I like
Silly, fun, and enjoyable! Took me a bit to get into it - the second listen sold me. Interesting to hear the Mothership Connection (Star Child), which has definitely been sampled by Dr. Dre/Snoop
Funk concept album. Solid album, all tracks are consistent and pretty good. Best track - Unfunky UFO, Supergroovalistic..., Give Up The Funk 3 stars
Farting frogs? Not for me, no, Sir...
They talk the funky talk, but do they walk the funky walk? Somewhat.
Svängig funkfest. Men kanske roligare att vara med på festen själv än att lyssna på den. Har också lite svårt för crazyfunken.
We need the funk.
Funk can be a little goofy and "cringe" at the best of times. But got dang do i love busting down to some funk and this is the good stuff. It aint Larry Levan though. 7/10
70s funk. One of the most influential funk albums. Fun space concept.
I enjoyed this, love the funk vibes I’d never even heard of Parliament before
3 1/2 stars
Not what I would have personally chosen to listen to, but I hear the heavy influence it's had on later music, and it had my kid dancing.
Never heard it before, it's funky, I quite like it. Not sure how often I'd listen to it but it was a fun listen.
This is good, it's just not for me. 3.5.
It was good, but mostly faded into the background. The album cover is beautiful and really stands out. It strikes me as the kind of record that’s been sampled a lot by rappers — there’s something in the sound that feels familiar in that way. Give Up the Funk is the obvious highlight here, a great tune that still holds up.
Was oke
Crazy, Funky and Psychedelic!
Starlord would probably love it but that doesn't mean I do
Funky!
Funk, good beats 7/10
I'm sorry once again, I should've listened more attentively... All I can say is it didn't blow me away. Maybe it would've, had I listened a bit more focused
Definitely funky, definitely also enjoyable but not anything amazing
Pleasantly surprised! Count me shocked! Modern funk and soul!
i like this kind of concept album—it’s really easy to see how the format (LP) informed the record’s storytelling and narrative/musical arc. fun and cool!!!
Too funky
I quite liked the funk vibe, but wasn’t mind blowing
Truly evocative funk from the 70s. almost impossible to listen to without accompanying psychedelic trippy visuals, like Saturday morning animated cartoons featuring cultural and astrological voyages. Not really my cup of tea, and hard to just listen to the album on it's own. I can't imagine what going to a live performance would be like, unless accompanied by one hell of a light show or some choice psychedelics...
Solo lo he escuhado una vez pero esta bien
Funk normally turns me off but I really enjoyed this
meh
