Mothership Connection

W O W last track especially is fireeeee

++: 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

This album is stupid

So many songs I didn’t realize were all on the same album

Fun sci-fi afrofuturist Funk album. This is basically another Funkadelic album, given the connection. Not really my thing, maybe more listens would do it. Key tracks: Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)

(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.

4/5 - Good funk

Pretty cool stuff.

Фанк. Бе

I am the least funky human being on the planet, but I enjoyed this record. I feel like this is the platonic ideal of a funk record. Even if this isn't your style, as it wasn't mine, it's upbeat and it moves quickly.

Funky!

We want to funk!!! Could have been a 5, but...✨✨✨Awesome.. Just too cool

Really liked, classic funk. 7 song 3 saved so far. Really fun albumn

A party from start to finish, nearly perfect.

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.

The perfect thing to wake up to this morning. Funked out of my god damn gourd.

Funk you!!

There’s something about this album that is so funky, it’s like how much more funky could this be? And the answer is none. None more funky. Seriously, this has been beamed directly from the planet Funk in the year funky five million in an Afro-future so funky it completely funks up the space-time continuum. When Parliament went on tour to play this album live they had a huge mothership UFO complete with disco balls that would fly in and land on the stage half way through the show. That is literally how funky they were. Seriously, have a look on YouTube for Parliament summoning the mothership and prepare to get funked. Anyway, don’t mind me. I’m just about to listen to this amazing album again. Funk-tastic!

These guys are talented and cool and all, but the album gets real boring real quick.

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

Damn, funk me! That's funked up, in a funking good way. Nay, funk it: it's funking the funkin' best. 5 "funked up" stars. (Plus, I was so near to Parquet Courts that I extra-credited Sunbathing Animal: man, what a funkin' bonus!)

Classic funk album that everyone should listen to

Who wants the funk?

Heavy duty funk. At the cusp of absurd but they pull it off. Fun and entertaining album.

Don’t make the obvious joke, don’t make the obvious joke, don’t make the obvious joke Funk it! This album really funked my shit up, man!

A tight 38 minutes of groove. 3.75/5.

Mucha música funk que no fue de mi agrado, con la excepción de Give Up The Funk.

Good listen. Lots of sing-alongable sections. Sometimes overly repetitive but picturing in a live setting I get this would be very fun to sing along to. Star Child! ✨

For such a staple funk album and band I expected more from this album. I knew some of the more famous songs this was my first time listening to the whole thing. Overall pretty groovy with a lot of good bass lines.

#34 Funk songs about being funky are like rock songs about rocking hard: kind of lame. A few good riffs here and there, and some good musicianship on display from the bass and horn players especially. It didn't do much for me though, a bit boring and repetitive.

funky

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

Fun and funky!

WE GOTTA HAVE THE FUNK!!! George Clinton delivers once again. Last time we encountered his Parliament-Funkadelic collective in this challenge, we got Maggot Brain, one of the best ever slices of psychedelic funk rock put to wax. This time, it's Mothership Connection by their other alias Parliament - pure groovy, ass-shaking P-funk, all bouncing bass and squelching synths. Just as glorious, just as groovy, just as FUNKY.

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

This album is the sound of a whole crew of people having the time of their lives and I love it.

Such a smooth experience. The sounds still feels relevant and interesting, maybe because I'm not a big funk connoisseur. Anyways, it's going on my playlist.

Classic funk album.

Does funk get cooler than this? The short answer is No. The longer answer is also No.

Funky

Not their best effort

Positive, upbeat, funky. 8 songs, easy to listen to.

Extra points because my Dad was super in to this and I always knew he was cool as hell.

The grandaddy of all funk music. Contains P-Funk, Give Up The Funk, and the title track, with so much funky bass, silly spoken word stream-of-consciousness interludes and goofy vocal effects. Classic funky riffs. Bootsy Collins and George Clinton. Unfunky UFO is a monster groove as are the rest of the non-famous tracks.

I will probably give the same review to a lot of albums. The musicians have obvious technical skill, but this type of music just isn’t appealing to me.

Ok but repetitive

Funky with sci-fi. This is entertaining.

so thats where music comes from

Funky and cool! Big fan

funkalicious perhaps

me gusto mucho la portada antes de escucharlo. se me hacen muy largas las canciones, pero me gusta el ritmo

Outstanding music.

Hmm, a 70s funk album. This is looking good. One of the first things you notice about this album is that it doesn't take itself seriously at all. It wants to party and get, well, funky. It does, with the energetic horns and groovy bass beats that define the genre. Vocals are pretty good, but the spoken word can get tedious(to say nothing of the lyrics, which are very superficial and unimportant). Many of the songs have overlong runtimes for what they are(various spoken word bits and sung bits placed over frequently repetitive music). This is a good album and an enjoyable one that knows what it is, but the numerous musical fallacies of the era that the band falls into cannot be overlooked. Or perhaps I don't know how to have fun... This album is ranked #7 of 22 albums for 1975. Other 1975 albums rated by me: Wish You Were Here(1/22)-5 A Night At The Opera(2/22)-5 Physical Graffiti(3/22)-4 Blood on the Tracks(4/22)-3 That's the Way of the World(8/22)-5 Red Headed Stranger(11/22)-5

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

We got the funk!

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.

really strong, like the grooves; fun

Feels like if Funkadelic is the part where you throw every conceivable P-Funk idea and element into the blender, Parliament is the part where it comes out as an incredible yet still pulpy juice. Honed to a sharp edge, the whole ensemble sounds fantastic, Bootsie and Bernie are obviously showing up front and all but still, everything is exactly right for you to nod your head, tap your feet, shake your ass and go off to weird space for 40 minutes. George Clinton groups never take themselves seriously, this one is very unserious too but it’s also the sheer craft behind being so unserious is wild. Also fascinating to listen to this one and have some of the later samples jump out to me so quick, this really was a treasure trove (again, testament to how good and forward-thinking this sounds).

Funky - yes. Meaningless - absolutely. Repetitive - mind-numbingly so. I have (in some desperation) been to discos where this sort of stuff was being played in the early 80s, and it made me question my whole existence.

Funkalicious, funkadelic, funking funktastic.

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.

Its has a really cool vibe i love it and it didnt make me miserable like the last one

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

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

Solid

Kinda repetitive but I didn't dislike it too much

Not for me

Funk On

Un super album avec des sonorités vraiment cool mais je trouves la seconde partie de l'album un peu en-dessous de la première.

I'll take more of that sound in my life for $500 Trebek. That's something I would have wanted to see live.

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

You smell that??? That’s some funky shiiiit. Love love love this vibe. 4.5

Funky! This had me grooving. It’s brimming with joy, and makes me smile. 9/10 Outstanding

Tarzı bana uymadı

Gotta Have that Funk

Loved it

What a treat!

Ugh they’re so funky it physically aches. Such a vibe

My first experience of Parliament. What the funk have I been doing with my life..!!! 4.5/5 as I’m still coming to terms with this.

TRACK 1 (P-FUNK) : Strong opener, we're funking now. TRACK 2 (MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION) : Strong follow-up, we're doubling-down on funking TRACK 3 (UNFUNKY UFO) : Misleading title, if a UFO was involved in the making of this song, it is undoubtedly a funky one. TRACK 4 (SUPERGROOVALISTICPROSIFUNKSTICATION) : Still funking. TRACK 5 (HANDCUFFS) : Maybe my favourite so far! Wastes no time and cuts straight to the funking from the get-go. TRACK 6 (GIVE UP THE FUNK) : I will NOT be giving up the funk, especially if it's gonna keep being this funky. 'Whole lot of rhythm goin' round' that's for sure. TRACK 7 (NIGHT OF THE THUMPASORUS PEOPLES) : The Thumpasorus Peoples seem like a good bunch. We've funked till the end. Crazy... synth? solos. Sounds like a talk box maybe, or a vocoder? OVERALL : Impeccable funk from A to Z. Gives enough different sounds, textures and groovy variations to keep the album moving and dynamic throughout, while simultaneously confidently planting both feet deep in funky ground and refusing to budge.

Extremely funky

This album made me listen to Black Cow by Steely Dan

I listened for the first time over the course of a very gentle and lazy morning without interruption, and I listened a second time when I was more awake, dealing with work frustrations and annoyances. Before I even got to the music, this album had already made an impact on me by finally helping me understand how Parliament-Funkadelic works: what I had always just hand-waved away as being one band is more of an artistic collective usually releasing music under two different names for two different vibes. Mothership Connection is propelled by a very light-hearted sense of humor and an untouchable vibe: the instrumentals don't make any major steps or movements, primarily staying within their groove and carrying on at a gentle pace. Connecting with his album seems to rely on whether or not you can get into the groove of any specific song, as the actual music itself is always incredibly funky and well-performed. For my personal enjoyment, the biggest determining factor tended to be whether or not the vocals caught me: the songs which stood out were the ones which were more vocally interesting. The keys, horns, and synths constantly shone from song to song, and I can recognize just how unfathomably funky this entire album is even if it doesn't all jump out at me personally. Highlights: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up), Mothership Connection (Star Child), Handcuffs, Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

The kind of music you can throw on at a party and just vibe to, which obviously has its merits. I just don't feel the need to lock in on any of it so much.

I mean, it's a groovy record and brought a smile to my face on a pretty stressful day. Was nice to tell my problems to "funk off." 4/5

Objectively good, just not really my thing I guess

Kul vibe, ikke helt min vibe

I love the 70s funk, but Parliament isn't as powerful as Stevie Wonder or Funkadelic, whom I prefer. Still, this is some inspiring r&b. 3.5/5

Not big into funk music but this was a fun listen. 7/10

Masterpiece gosh. It’s so ahead of its time.

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.

Funny this came up so soon after ¨The Chronic,¨ where Dr. Dre basically just played the same songs with updated gangsterisms. It works, in part because the source material is so strong. If you love funk and outer space then you'll love this one.

Funk as a genre seems to just not exist anymore. Maybe because everyone agreed they nailed it with this and we can move on.

First day back in work after 10 days of annual leave. This made it easier. Funky.

Very good

Every song is a bop!!

This album put a glide in my stride and a dip in my yip

Everything this list is about. Artist I've never heard of with an incredible album. If you don't like funk you'll hate it but I do and I loved it.

I wonder how many times they say "funk" on this. As if you could mistake it for anything else

This album is mental, in a good way. The synth noises are like funk satire at times, some of the vocals make me feel like I'm listening to Flight of the Concords (who were obviously big fans), the horns the chants. I can't tell if it's too much or not enough.

I dont like super long songs (mostly) I dont like talking during songs (mostly) not my thing somtimes groovy

Don't do funk but sounds cool

This is almost the definition of Oldschool funk! Is it over the top, yes absolutely! But it grooves like nothing else. It's not my absolute favourite sound, all that musical kitsch and bling, but it is extremely well made and sometimes a bit of funky fun is just all you need.

One of the best albums of all time.

A very fun listen and an interesting one as well, with the impact of George Clinton's work on future music in its genre (and other genres that draw from funk like hip-hop) clearly visible. I would give it a 4.5 as the final track is a bit weaker than the rest of the album but I don't think it's enough to drop to a 4.

Time to feel the funk! Head bobbing along with pretty much every single tune on this 7 track album. Highly entertaining.

ok

I’m partial to a bit of funk and this landed nicely - it helps there is some familiarity in the form of Give up the Funk but also their influence on other artists, the most notable from this listen was on Warren G.

- super funkyyy - alr knew give up the funk was a banger before this album - realized the whole album is a banger - funky = good relisten quality. - easy to get into - love the deep vocals with the funky weird guitar sounds - just claps. - we want the funk! Give up the funk! Nowwww

A solid slab of Funk.

Funky! I wanted to dance I wanted to listen it was a nice experience ❤️ looking forward to listening again

P-Funk - Really good intro, little bit empty, but still good Mothership Connetion - Like the lead vocals, overall song is pretty good Unfunky UFO - Reminds me of those songs from DPL The Bumps Bump - bass or synth (idk) reminds me of Funky Worm from GTA SA sountrack Handcuffs - my fav track, lyrcs and instrumentals are just great Give Up The - gives me energy to just get up and dance Night Of The Thumpasourus Peopels - Pretty chill outro, idk if it's acid bass or something in the track

It's pretty cool, lots of rythm and soul. I just think some tracks ran a bit long for my personal taste, but otherwise it's focused and diverse

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

This is the funky shit! Og det må være et af Dr. Dre’s yndlings albums. Han har ihverfald samplet det meste i sin G-Funk periode. Det rykker også ret hårdt.

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.

THIS RULES! I LOVE FUNK!

4/5

Immaculate funk album.

This album puts the FUN in FUNK. This is the kind of thing I hoped to get out of listening through the list, something I would have never spun up on my own, might not spin up again, but thoroughly enjoyed listening through it. Really enjoyed Handcuffs but everything on this album just sort of bumps along while you bob your head.

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.

My god, what an album. It was tough listen due to how much I wanted to dance while listening to it. I have always heard about funk music, today I understood it. Masterfully produced, the instruments were second to none, the vocals were banging, over-all crazy album. Added to my offline rotation. It made me feel like bully Maguire from Spider-Man 3. FUNK IT UP! Favourite song in the album - Night of The Thumpasorus Peoples No. of favourited songs - 7/7 Rating - 4/5

incredible. i feel funkalicious

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

I think this one has to be 4 stars (I wish I could justify 5). Best song, an old fave for me, is Give Up the Funk. After that, everything else is pretty good to good (at times very good), but, at the same time, doesn't really stand out all that much for me. Also, I'm tempted to say that the same qualities that make this special -- the creativity and imagination -- also make it a little . . . shambolic? (Look it up -- I did, to make sure it was what I wanted to say, lol.) Bonus points for historical importance -- keeping the funk/freak flag flying through the 70s, uniting the Sly Stone and James Brown strains of funk (I saw that this album features Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker from James Brown's backing band, the J.B.'s), with some Afro-Futurism thrown in, to boot(sy). Bootsy Collins is a funk bass giant. Bernie Worrell later played with the Talking Heads ("Stop Making Sense" era). I guess it feels like 5 stars should be granted stingily, so I think 4 stars feels right for this one.

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.

Absolute vibe. I was even jamming to the song that sounded like farts

Hell to the mother fucking yeah. What a breath of fresh air after what feels like such a dip in album quality over the past few weeks. This funk seeped that much deeper into my soul due to mid-music fatigue. No Dips, continously bringing that hip swinging head bopping groove from to front to back. With variation, tempo swing and creativity. Bonus points for the really fun album art cover. As well as the heat that Give up the Funk brings, was familiar with this one Im sure due to media & film, wouldnt be able to tell you where. Straight HEAT

Essential funk

wasn't expecting that

mega funky

How can you not rate this less than 4 stars? So many classics on a single album

Nice groove. Different music for me

Let's funk it up! The backbone of the funk itself. Pure blast of fun with no brakes.

This album is the Funk, The Whole Funk & Nothing But The FUNK. Actually, I think that's another album, but the title fits. Give up the funk is a classic, and definately going on the playlist.

That was a whole box of funky fun.

"We've got the funk" - They really weren't lying!

- lol! I mean, it's fun and ridiculous. - This album is definitely on the jokier side, and I don't know how much repeat value the lyrics have. And, hard no to the blatant sexism. - I enjoy the instrumentation - some nice horn and keys. - Obviously Give Up The Funk is a banger. - I find the songs are on the (too) long side. (from my Funkadelic review:) - Sounds like George Clinton got everyone addicted to drugs and didn't pay people: "As the hit records started piling up, the musicians who played on them started asking about money. According to some, they received only $20 or $50 at the end of tour. Others claim they were paid in drugs. Former manager Robert Mittleman counters that band members owed Clinton for drugs consumed on the road and he merely collected it out of their wages when they returned from tour. When one enterprising band member began selling drugs to his tour mates to cover his meager pay, Clinton allegedly posted a sign which said “No Drug Dealing unless authorized by George.” And was a predator: "Most disturbing are claims from the female members of P-Funk that they were expected to be sexually available for Clinton, who preyed on their insecurities and career ambitions to manipulate them to his wishes." There's also the weird connection to Process Church.

Make my funk the P-Funk too! I also want to get funked up! Dr. Dre owes these guys his post-NWA career. This is a good listen. And in the Parliament vs. Funkadelic debate, I like this better than One Nation Under a Groove so far. Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker) is tremendous. Night Of the Thumpasorus Peoples is silly, but I like the groove.

It's impossible not to smile when listening to this. Parliament/Funkadelic represents probably the best of this genre. A great way to start my Friday. I do love me some Bootsy Collins bass.

It’s fun and it’s funky!

This is some of the coolest shit I’ve ever heard

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

Funk pinnacle

epic

This album's got me funked up

Funky junky and good time dancing music. Big fan.

Como no conocía este sonido

Best album ever

PU is right.

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

It makes you happy, 'nuff said.

yes

Very funky. Good first album for me

Nothing like listening to this walking through Edinburgh airport at 6 in the morning…

Taking funk to outer space

Funkadelic. Love this

Timeless Sunday morning groove which is impossible to believe is 51 years young. There are so many places you hear his influence (Prince anyone?) and there's a very good reason he got a Sinners cameo! A very respectful 4*

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)

Great funk for any old punk!

Very funky

Great album. It was a funky journey.

These guys ran so that OutKast could fly. A joyful listen. Not quite a blind listen but close.

This album was a funk explosion! I need more intergalactic funk emissaries in my life. I love the commitment to the bit too

Ok

Disco and UFOs? Of course!

Grooving to this while drinking my coffee this AM. They’re right, I do indeed want to get funked up. Likes: Mothership Connection; Unfunky UFO; Give Up The Funk

There are a lot of horns and bass in this album. It's a great album and an amazing funk album! Sounds a lot like Curtis Mayfield. Definitely for funk fans and non-funk fans alike. Amazing!

Heard it described as a parody of funk, which is fair. The theme is funk. And space/afrofuturism. The music is really good, and the overall aesthetic is cool

Love this album

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

Excellent!

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.

WE WANT THE FUNK!!!!!!!

Fucking loved it, so funky ! Will definitely listen to it again

Funk as fuck!

it was a little bit too much for me

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

This album really funked me up

The funk on this album is through the roof. P-Funk starts this album off with a bang - the grooves, basslines & upbeat brass melodies are absolutely killer and immediately get your feet tapping. Unfunky UFO follows this up and defies its title with the most funky bassline known to man. The songs that follow do not falter or disappoint either. This is an incredible album, fantastically written & produced into 38 minutes of brilliant energy. It’s just great fun to listen to and I can’t fault it at all.

Joyous 1970s funk!

Everyone needs a healthy amount of funk in their life

Very lengthy

Groovy

Peak funk

an awesome collection of funk music and an absolute must listen for anyone wanting a well rounded musical repertoire. Almost a 5, would've given a 4.5 if allowed.

Funky, psychedelic banger.

Good album alot of funk

7.5/8

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...

Mittwoch 20.05.2026 Auf dem Rad in Steglitz/Dahlem, in der Ringbahn aufm Weg zur Uni

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

Very fun and extremely funky, with commentary that bounces between goofy, politically charged, and uplifting. Remarkably indulgent and rich, although the songs are a bit too long (admittedly, less an issue with the record and more with the way I listen to records). It's not willing to get silly, and really turn every single musical idea up to 11. I haven't listened to much funk beyond stuff released post-2000, and this is far more committed to the vibe than most of what I've heard. Handcuffs's lyrics feels a little creepy to me, though. And the album reaches such critical funk by the end that the bass turns into a fart and the chorus devolves into "gagagooga" (which is honestly extremely peak and I love it). 4/5!

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 and Fun.

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

Wow hold on I was not expecting this, with an artist with under a million monthly listeners in Spotify this album is top tier, why this parliament has a low count for his audience is beyond my understanding because I really enjoyed this

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

Has to be one of the most sampled records ever, and with good reason!

I too find I often need the funk. You should really give it up.

Lovely

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.

love some funk

Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

YES.

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

Funky to the max. Palju eksperimenteerimist kõlade ja vormidega. Aga ilmselgelt plaat, mis on paljusid teisi inspireerinud. Palju seotust lugude vahel ei ole ning vaid mõni lugu on selline, mis jääb ka meelde. Aga meeldiv kuulamine ikka. 3.5/5

Very funkalicious, really like da first few tunes

Nope

Cant spell funk without fun! I liked the opening the best, but I found it to be too repetitive. Maybe I'm too lame for this kind of music. Also the closing song sounded too much like farts to me

Unreal amounts of funk

Holy funk

Five Star Funky

So corny but so fun and sounds great

Oh this gonna be a 5…. FUNK

have a funky friday

Literalmente es el hermano groovy de Funkadelic, fue bien interesante escuchar ambos grupos de George Clinton para comprender los contrastes y honestamente si hay muchas diferencias en temas y mensajes en cada grupo, pero lo que es un hecho es que están hechos de Funk del más puro, eso es amor al Funk genuino, no habría muchas otras razones por las cuales tener 2 bandas y las dos así de potentes Este álbum tiene de temática visitantes de otro planeta, que vienen a salvar la tierra a punta de Funk, la verdad que si se rifaron en su esfuerzo, aunque sea hicieran este planeta un poco mejor No tengo una favorita personal, pero el primer sencillo te mete en la experiencia y de ahí sigue avanzando bastante bien y de manera consistente, no tiene ningún flop por ahí Me sigue pareciendo número 1, One Nation Under The Groove, pero este lo pondría poquito abajo de Maggot Brain Es un gran universo este de Funkadelic-Parliament

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

3 1/2

They named a song on this album 'Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication', that alone is enough to get it 5 stars on top of the entire list being bangers.

I used to listed to this one regularly. Thanks for reminding me that it had been a while. Great album, but I think everyone already knows that.

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

Love it, funny

Space funk! What fun! The monologues did drag at times, but overall I had a great time. I appreciate the theatricality of it all and the vocal plus instrumental double-whammy really elevated it for me, so lively!

experimental pero un gran disco

Good album!

That was such a groovy and funky adventure/ride. I was in a chilly universe, having a Space Beer with my friends while I was piloting a spaceship. I enjoyed iiit !

Loved it, was strutting around the house

This is pretty damned excellent!

I've always loved a few of these tracks and it was a fun re-listen. What clicked this time through was that behind all the zany antics is a very diligently crafted album, i guess you could say the production. They created the vibe that you're walking into a raucous party and everyone has an instrument and it should sound like shit, but it works so well, no note out of place. On the negative side, not a lot of depth in the actual song writing, pretty repetitive.

More talking about funk than actually funking here. Feels like the album never really starts, they just keep telling us we're about to get funky. Well, I'm ready. I want to funk. Lets go. Yes, you play funk. I like funk. Let's do this. Should be a good match here, and yet... we don't seem to be funking? Was I not clear that I'm ready to funk? No more preparation needed.

The intergalactic funk idea is cool, but a little corny now? Even Give Up The Funk didnt hit for me. Overall, this was fine, but not even close to what we heard with funkadelic or sly and the family stone. 1.5 stars

Funky but never fully drew me in.

An American classic and a truly pivotal moment in my life when I discovered it

Pretty good. A little bit cheesy

Make my funk the P-Funk. I wants to get funk’d up!

Funky

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

So goofy but so funky. Bootsy kills that shit on bass as always. Definitely on the funk my Rushmore next to James brown and Stevie wonder.

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.

>funky >not rly my genre >got to the end and was actually really enjoying it to my surprise

it's undeniably good funk but I just don't love funk as a genre, more as a complement to other styles

very funky and metallic? i enjoyed most of the songs.

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.

the funkiest funk to ever funk. p

Bring the Fun in Funk.

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!

immaculate vibes actually. This album laid the foundation for so much modern music and it still holds up really well. Sure, not everything here has aged perfectly, and there was a lot of weird, possible fart noises on the outro, but I still had a lot of fun with it

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

Something about this felt very disingenuous, like they just checked off all the basics of a funk album while constantly trying to tell you that they're so funky

Solid vocals, short & sweet album. Loved the concept. Dancing is mandatory! I will say, the first track (P-Funk) was the highlight for me, and unfortunately set the bar a bit too high for some of the following tracks. I also wasn't a fan of the "barefoot & pregnant" reference, but I guess it was just a popular phrase at the time. Nonetheless, the record was still really good as a whole. My highlights were: - P-Funk - Mothership Connection (Starchild) - Give Up the Funk This was my first (intentional) listen to funk music, and it was a great intro! Hopefully this album only grows on me!

FUNKy!

This was a really fun and funky album, I really enjoyed it and it was also nice to see where dr Dre sampled let me ride from the title track. Favourite - mothership connection (star child)

Soo good. Thats is all.

Funkalicious!

This album was a blast to listen to and a total vibe! This album had me hooked from start to finish. I’d only heard a few songs by Parliament before so I had a great time listening to a whole album by them. Overall, this was a great soulful and funky album that I would 100% jam to again in the future!

Yeah! Funk!

Really fun and enjoyable. Literally slaps funk in your face.

Yes!

Extraterrestrial funk, to get you out of a funk

a classic

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 🕺

best sci-fi style in my opinion

Give Up the Funk is an absolute classic and entirely makes this album worth it, but outside of that I wasn't feeling most of these. P-Funk, Mothership Connection, Unfunky UFO, and Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication all sound like the exact same song, so the fact that they're four in a row is insane. The album ends with Night of the Thumpasorus People, which consists of a group of dudes going "goo goo ga ga" for three minutes straight. Give Up the Funk feels like the whole reason this is here. Maybe I am just not a funk dude.

Absolutely loved this album. A lot of samples I knew from the Dr Dre - the chronic album. Pleasantly surprised. Every song has a charm to it.

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

It’s a good time, groovy, spacey, this band has a deep reverence for life and they know how to have a good time. This album is a celebration of creativity, rhythm and all things funky baby… what is funk you may ask, it’s connecting to that dark, warm, earthy center deep down in the middle of your belly where poetry lives and dancing naturally springs into existence - flowing into your extremities and out through the crown chakra. Feeling rooted with this album, feeling funky.

Great

Great album for Old School Funk-fans. Extremely talented musicians and great arrangements, especially in the brass section.

Probably my favourite funk album! SO good. Never thought I'd enjoy the genre this much, particularly Unfunky UFO and Supergroova-etc.

it's funky. it's just weird enough. it doesn't overstay its welcome.

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

Now THAT's what a call a goddamn ALBUM!!! I would rather listen to solely concept albums for the rest of my life. I'm sick of this boring mixtape shit where songs sound either vaguely related or just like they were stapled together so they could sell a stupid little album. A want a goddamn THEME a STORY a VIBE!!!!!

j'avais déjà P-funk dans mes titres likés, jamais écouté l'album, c'est pas déplaisant mais c'est un peu trop pour moi

What the funk

guter Funk

the funk-o-meter hit its maximum by the first song. starting off this album a day strong with this one. this genre has the power to get you dancing no matter what mood you are in. mother funking great album! fav song: unfunky ufo

already listened to this before, very lit.

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

So funky it makes me want to handcuff a woman lolol. What a fun album.

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