Mothership Connection

Funkkia, ei ainakaan parasta sellaista. Vähän futuristisen kuuloisia synia. Mut ok. Parhaat: Unfunky UFO, Give Up The Funk

Very funky! I can see why it's here. Enjoyable throughout.

No song that was too memorable, would be interesting to hear live so i have to watch the tiny desk

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

Super fun funk

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.

This is some great funk. It can get very repetitive at times, but not annoying. This album is a party. The last song was pretty bad though. Overall, really fun and really good album.

FUNK

Oh I love this album!!! 70s FUNK hell yaaaa Gonna get funked up. It was a funky Monday. Handcuffs is kinda weird tho

4.7/10

Now this is some FUNK. This is the sort of album you've been hearing all your life without knowing it.

Love this makes me happy

Anyone who doesn't like this has dodgy wiring

God DAMN this is funky. What else are we to expect from the fabulous Parliament? What innovative and creative music to be created during this era. Battling with the likes of disco, this record truly set itself apart and still brings a wealth of harmonic diversity, even to this day. The instruments, singing, sequencing, production, all of it, so unique. Plenty of inspiration and influence taken from this record for other more recent artists (thinking Dr. Dre and other west coast hip hop artists). This is a great one.

I discovered Parliament as a child by watching the movie PCU. So like, funk wasn't an integral part of my childhood. But I learned to play bass as a teenager and loved being exposed to funk. Parliament is like the band in the genre that I would recommend to most people looking for something new to listen to.

i need the funk

Funky ass shit

get funked from outer space

Inte ens lyssnat klart men en SOLKLAR 4, så jäkla svängigt. Det här är min sorts funk!

Very good but I didn't like it.

Loved this for a long time...

Alt for meget snak og alt for lidt funk i de første numre. Det blev bedre men aldrig godt.

7.3

Outstanding album.

Fun. Bit of talking at the start could’ve been omitted. But fun feel good album

Rv

Love this album

This really holds up. It’s hard to beat George Clinton and MACEO. FOUR STARS

Kinda cool but bit too out there for me

Fun album. Saturated with funk.

This deserves a good sound system. I gave it a morning listen on my cellphone speakers and it was a pretty good experience, if not somewhat average. Play this on a Bose system and we've got a more impressive scope of the talents. What a sexy set of bass lines, what excellent funk. Love when Bootsy's vocals slide by, or when the sci-fi interreacts with your experience. I'd love to have this record in my collection. 4.3/5

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.

Hell yeah some proper funk. One of the coolest voices out there, with some good horns to boot. Very fun listen, will return!

Greta funk album

A genuine classic!!

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.

funk is a bit hit or miss for me but this was very fun.

This was a lot of fun. I'm never generally impressed by a fake radio broadcast in an album, people do it all the time and it can sod off. DJs are annoying. I listen to albums rather than the radio to avoid them. But other than that this is pretty stellar. Very funky (as you'd expect) and enjoyable.

Make my funk the P-Funk. This album is just cool from beginning to end. Favorites: P-Funk, Give Up the Funk Would I listen to it again: Yes

Pretty fun

funky as hell

Normal funk, but I liked the concept.

Good disco/funk band from the 7o’s. Brings back memories.

Oooooo the funk comes from within. More please!

If I'm going to listen to Funk, it's going to be Parliament / Funkadelic. This was great fun and sexy, I knew a couple of tracks but first time hearing. Thanks 1001

Funkadelic good! But a little repetitive.

Very random vibes. It original, but not my style.

4. Only 1 hit that I know but still 70s funk hits hard regardless

A good time... they had me at "the Chocolate Milky Way." Probably my favorite funk album so far; it has a playfulness that I think pairs extremely well with the genre. You could criticize some of the tracks for being fairly repetitive but that didn't really bother me here. Highlights: "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" is a juggernaut, and I liked "P. Funk" as well.

Classic

Funky, groovy, calming still. A bit repetitive, skipped half of the first song. Does one thing, if that’s what you want, you will be happy. I‘m sorry ‚I have to keep you barefoot and pregnant‘?! Eww.

Fun & funky; great for a party.

Bootsy Collins, what a legend.

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.

Nice!

AAAAAAH ENFIN!!! C’EST TELLEMENT FUNKY QUE MON FUNKOMÈTRE A EXPLOSÉ 26 FOIS DEPUIS JE ME SUIS DÉFENESTRÉ À FORCE DE SAUTER CONTRE LES MURS!!!

Such great tunes, 38 minutes of funk I will listen to on repeat.

I would never have come across this album without this project. The cover alone would have put me off. A great album, which I heard for the first time today. Rarely have I heard anything so funky. It's going into my collection. 5/5

4.5

It’s just so fresh and modern even by current standards. The music, voice effects, keyboards/synths, slang - everything about this album is fun, funky and unique.

I didn’t realize just how much Parliament walked so 90s rap could run.

Awesome stuff Just me for me!

P-funk is life. This was such a good time! 4,5/5

Fun and funky. Hard not to dance the whole time it was on while cleaning my house. 8/10 Favorite tracks-“Mothership Connection” “Supergroove….” “Give Up the Funk”

Very smoooooooth funk

I remember playing Give Up The Funk in my high school pep band.

I just don’t like funk. Nothing against the record, it’s just the genre as a whole ain’t for me.

there are some great songs here, but as a whole album I didn't feel it

So good. Funk is goood. Girks did not like and found lyrics annoyingly repetitive.

Pretty funky! Kind of silly at points but still pretty enjotable listen

Fun funk with a great album intro

Anything with George Clinton's name in it, is an automatic 5 stars.

Great. Holds up. Weird but awesome. Fun listen.

What a funktastic experience, a very accessible album for anyone trying to get into the genre, I did enjoy it quite a lot but the age old of problem of songs overstaying their welcome by being a little too long at times when the main song development was over, still a very good album

Perfect album

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).

Ended just in time. A good album without filler. Funky.

Great vibe

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.

Fun and funky

This may be the grooviest album on the whole list. Definitely felt a little played out at times (especially the first track), but I'd get over it by the time the next song came on.

ooooo yeah!

Good old Funk with a view hits

Incredible funk!

One time at the Cubby Bear, I hugged Bootsy and his belt buckle knocked off my glasses.

Funky as. Very fun love the vibes. Can be repetitive but the keys send me. Can't give a 5 because I know parliament do better but this is a classic funk for me

This shit is so funky. I liked Handcuffs the most so far.

this is incredibly cool. disco is so back.

Fun album, couple of well known tracks. Thumpasarus is a great finishing track. Quick to listen to at 38 minutes.

abc123

The funkiest album on this list. Don’t let anyone say otherwise.

I'm not into funk, but this is F.U.N.K!!!!!!!

Incredible funk album. Every song but Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples is great. Songs can stretch on a little.

8/10

There are people who like funk. And I'm not one of them.

3.5 stars. Fun over-the-top funk. Some annoying high pitched whines in "Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication" and 'stretching' sound in "Night Of The Thumpasorus Peoples" but otherwise liked this. Standout is the super catchy hit "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)", the title track is good as well

every song is at least 2 minutes too long

super fun and groovy. we want the funk!!!!

Easy funk

dosta naporno i izrazito repetitivno. "fank fank fank!" dobro, i?

Theres no better

.

Love the intro, and it didn't let up from there. Funky fun.

A total jam. Maybe their best record. Deep grooves, amazing musicianship, and crazy as ever. Chocolate coated, freaky and and habit forming. Doin' it to you in 3-D. So groovy that I dig me

I feel as if I should like this more than I do. I was a little bored, tbh. Maybe it’s better appreciated live? Or maybe I am just so conditioned to funk’s use in pop that the unadulterated thing is too concentrated for me at this point?

The album have songs with really good vibes that made me automatically dance, loved the 70's "space eletro pop", whatever what these songs are supposed to be.

Noch nicht zuende gehört aber mega geil!!

Another P-Funk album is always a win for me. There’s really nothing to add beyond that - it’s pure intergalactic funk perfection. What’s wild is how it dropped during a turbulent time in the ‘70s and still managed to transcend it all, becoming a timeless, joyful, cosmic classic. And at the heart of it all? Bootsy Collins, laying down some of the funkiest basslines ever recorded. His grooves don’t just sit in the pocket; they define the pocket. Combined with George Clinton’s wild imagination and space-age vision, Mothership Connection feels less like an album and more like a transmission from another planet. Funk, freedom, and pure attitude from start to finish.

I like it!!

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.

Funkadelic from way out. Cosmic grooves coming to you from the Mothership. The funkiest funk that ever did funk.

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

This album is a party and if they didn’t have fun making it, they did a great job at faking it. Their funk has a cool factor that’s hard not to love. I liked grooving to this.

Not for me, though I enjoyed the hints of jazz in this

Better than Coldplay

Well they definitely did it to my ear holes…. In 3D. Such a wild ride and honestly quite enjoyed my intergalactic funkalicious uncut p funk journey.

WEFUNK

Good funk.

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

I actually loved this. A real vibe

The album was interesting. Funk. I only heard one song from them before. In all, I listened to it at home, danced a bit to the music, and listened to it while I was commuting to work. 5 stars

Is there funk after death? I sure hope so! 4.5/5 #208

No podía esperar otra cosa de George Clinton, el funk mas digerible uplifting y divertido que hay. Increíble producción, música de roadtrip que a todo el mundo en el auto le gustaría. Favs: P-Funk, Mothership Connection, Supergroovalistic...

I'm a sucker for albums que empiezan con una intro como si fuera un programa de radio. Me encanta este género y no puedo ponerle menos de un 4, aun así, para mantener mi rol de persona que odia la diversión, diré que se hacen un poco repetitivas las ideas de cada canción. También, el colega dice dos o tres veces que se pone las gafas de sol y que entra la tercera dimensión, con lo cual podemos afirmar que este album lo ha hecho un señor que ve todo oscuro en la sexta dimensión. Favs: Mothership Connection, Give Up The Funk

Lo más funky que nos salió por ahora no?? Cortito, directo, bailable, ingenioso... siete canciones y todas y cada una de ellas muy disfrutables, aunque creo que las primeras se lucen más que las últimas como suele suceder con muchos álbumes cuya identidad queda marcada en el primer tramo. Aún así un goce de álbum, top top top Favs: P-Funk, Unfunky UFO

Loved it. I’d never heard it before (except 1 song), but I can hear how it influenced so many other songs/artists/movies so love.

Allora 40 min di funk un po’ too much, però magari presi singolarmente i pezzi sono belli

Funk at its finest

Now this is more like it! Juxtaposed to the Sly & the Family Stone album yesterday, this album is filled with way more emotion, stronger and more varied instrumentation, and all and all more fun. Enjoyed it a lot- hard not to feel the rhythm when you have this on. Overall- very fun. 3.5 to 4 / 5

I gave them the funk

Roof off the sucka

FUNKAY

This sounds like a group of friends just hanging out, having a great time, and playing music. In this instance, they're in a UFO flying around space inviting others to join the party. They're running on all cylinders of join as they cruise through the galaxies of funk. Every instrument is carrying it's weight. The slimy bass lines are slapping. The horn section is bringing the noise. Every synthesizer is crying sweet tears. It's music that puts some stank on your face. I'm only docking half a point because on the final track, there's an instrument throughout that can only be described as sounding like a wet fart. It was distracting and kind of unpleasant. 4.5 Stars

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: 🙂

A headphone masterpiece, that you better hope involves wireless headphones because you are going to pull your stereo off its shelf dancing around if those headphones are wired in!

Ending this list on the funkiest album on this list was a decision I didn't expect... But here we are

Super fun and funky album. Doesn't take itself seriously and let's the grooves and beats shine. Just a damn good time.

It's impossible not to move to this album. Try it sometime, you will fail.

NICE

Got a bit behind and was catching up before listening to this one. I wanted to save it for my commute and it didn't disappoint!

the funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk

Buena sorpresa de domingo. El funk siempre me ha puesto de buen humor, y más hoy que me ha pillado teniendo trabajo que hacer, así que me ha hecho buena compañía. He leído por ahí que en la sección de viento han participado miembros de la banda de James Brown, y entonces todo cobra sentido. Sin embargo, mientras ciertos temas de James Brown se me hacen bola, este álbum lo he escuchado dos veces del tirón y lo he disfrutado igual de bien. Feel-good music en vena.

Pre: my proper intro to funk Post: give us the funk you punk

Oh funk yeah! Such a great album. Funk funkiest of the funky funk. This got played multiple times during the weekend. Loved it!

4.5?

Funky indeed

114/1001 Parliament - Mothership Connection Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ George Clinton makes the most fun records. Over the top in the best way possible. Every time I play it, I always have a great time.

This was fine. About what I expected as far as funkiness. It’s almost humorous.

Funky and made me want to dance!

Great! Classic funk, made me feel happy whilst it was on.

This is a great funk album, up there with Sly and the Family Stone's There's a Riot Going On and Funkadelic's Maggot Brain. Loved it.

Brought the FUNK!

I do love funk music but this was a little heavy for me

Yah this album is fucking perfect. It literally brings the party AND its own catering. It’s everything you could ever ask for, it’s probably one of the greatest albums of all time let alone greatest funk album. Seriously this album is all that and a bucket of funky potatoes. More music needs to be this much fun!

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.

This one seems like it was pretty influential.

Amazing. The funkiest funk that's ever funking funked. 'Parliament cast themselves as superheroes on the musical landscape, with the singular mission to “save a dying world from its funkless hell.” I concur

#146/1001. Good ol p-funk! Music like this should be more on this list, so we would do something else than just sit there. I knew couple of songs from some parliament/funkadelic collection, but never listened to this album as a whole. I'm glad I did before the funk hits the fan.

6/10

Fun, funny, funky. I can hear G Funk and Outkast. This is brilliant. Great Cover Art.

This is weird, but GOOD weird. It’s a complete vibe. While this isn’t music I’m always in the mood for, I recognize how this album influenced many artists I do love to listen to.

I wanted to like this but I really didn’t.

What a brilliant funk album

C'est Dave, un gars de la Floride qui jouait de la basse avec moi dans un groupe il y a 25 ans qui m'a fait découvrir le funk. Sur Crave je recommande chaudement ''Mike Judge Presents: Tales From The Tour Bus''. La saison 2 est sur le funk et il y a un épisode sur George Clinton et un autre sur Bootsy Collins. (Il y a aussi 2 épisodes sur Rick James; on y apprend qu'il a joué très brièvement dans le même groupe que Neil Young!!! Aussi un épisode sur Betty Davis, et plus.) La saison 1 est dédiée aux figures marquantes du country, pas mal de Outlaw Country. Un délice. Entre autres Johnny Paycheck, Jerry Lee Lewis, Billy Joe Shaver, Waylon Jennings et le très attachant gros nounours Blaze Foley.

Le funk c'est correct, sans plus. Mais ici ça groove pas mal, les passes de synth sont dignes de Herbie Hancock.

Wow j’ai adoré ça! Musique de party, groovy. Clairement une influence sur le rap west coast et Dr Dre. Let’s get funked up!

These guys seem like dorks Favorite tracks: Handcuffs, Give Up The Funk

- the concept of the album and the execution were very good - probably the closest I will ever get to funk Likes: - the themes and idea behind the album - all the different references and unique moments Dislikes: - can't get past how absolutely sexist 'handcuffs' is - the song literally say: "If I have to keep you barefoot and pregnant/ oh to keep you here in my world"

Mal was anderes. Hat Spaß gemacht.

This album is top notch, from production to length to creativity to instrumentalism, it delivers. It’s also been used in so many samples by hip hop artists for the past 40 years, it’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t been inspired by parliament.

Good, but not amazing.

The full funk here, totally funktastic

Two all-time grooves, good vibes throughout

Whole lotta fun whole lotta funky

Como diría Marshall: El funk, todo el funk y nada más que el funk

We are coming to you live from the Mothership…

pretty good

Not feeling the funk this morning... but as funk goes, this group is top notch!

Phunk Phenomenal!

That sweet funky mmmgh. Just the right number of tracks to not feel repetitive. 9/10

Great funk

Funny album. But a bit annoying. And not so funky.

Hmmm.

Gagooga Gagooga Gagoogaga Always loved this I funk with it pretty heavy

🕺🛸

Love the Funn but still not my fave.

Out there sounds and funk grooves that will sampled until the end of music.

Godt funk.

It’s definitely funk, I know that because they keep saying it 😅 It’s a fun listen and I can hear their influence in lots of other bands but it’s probably not one I will seek out to listen to on my own.

Super fun!

4/7

I can’t help but be funked. Consider me funk-ified. It almost borders on parody, but there could be nothing more serious under the surface.

Funk it up

very loooong funk songs

Great album. I love this type of funk.

Heel vet, echt weer wat anders

We want the Funk!

The funk is indeed within me

This is some of that hidden funk I been lookin for!

Funk yea! Never realized how many rap artists stole from Parliment!

ola 28/09! agora são 20h! -primeira musica: insana, me sinto 80s, verão brisa moderada. musica bem funky. 8/10. -terminei o album e é bem gostosinho! funky e bem alienigeneo :P. definitivamente um album pra se ouvir antes de morrer. da pra ver onde vem a inspiração de quase 90% da industria da musica 10/10

I never got into funk music and this album keeps me away from it. Found it bit boring, chorus are too repetitive and tiring. Gotta be honest, I skipped the last song, so damn boring.

I’ve never actually truly listened to the 1975 before. Enjoyed it, but don’t feel like I’ve missed out.

Possibly the most accessible slice of P-Funk out there. As always however nothing else sounds like it and the combination of George Clinton and Bootsy Collins is the most expansive funk will ever sound, save for the addition of Eddie Hazel with Funkadelic. Favourite track: Handcuffs

We want the funk

Album 19/1001 This well and truly funked me the funk up! Ya dig? 🛸

Everyone got the funk when this album is on.

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

This album is a real hang out. Such good vibes. There is a certain simplicity to the groove throughout, but anything looks easy when a master is doing it. The MVPs on this album are Bootsy Collins holding down that backbone and Bernie Worrell adding the color with all the wild, spacey synth work. Of course, the vocals on top are like a party aboard a spaceship. It's iconic in its Afrofuturism and unapologetic weirdness and freedom. It's not perfect, some songs slog on after a while, perhaps it's better in an actual party setting or under the influence. But it's really a journey you can sink into and slow down with, more of an astral road trip where a schedule or destination is not a factor.

This album took me into space and refused to bring me home until I knew how to dance

Great listen, a lot of tasty funk, and I'm always a sucker for space-y themes like the UFO motif used here

Не моё

This album is cartoonishly funky. Like they are trying so hard to make everyone understand they are 100% about the funk. Don't get me wrong...it's good funk. My only complaint is that most of the tracks drag on and get repetitive before wrapping up. I get that you ride a nice groove for awhile but I prefer tighter funk compositions like what The Meters or Sly and the Family Stone bring. Also, I'm surely letting the fact that I saw P Funk perform well beyond their prime impact my opinion of this album. They were terrible.

we need the funk!! WE GOTTA HAVE THE FUNK!!!!!!!!!

Just a great album. Funky

With Thumpasorus Peoples like Bootsy, George, and Maceo, how can you go wrong?!?

Not a big funk guy, very repetitive, but enjoyable

Many recordings from the 70s have a certain cheesyness about them, and this one is no exception. If you can overlook that, this album is really enjoyable. I mean, how bad can music with Bootsy Collins on bass be? Apart from the single releases, I recommend "Unfunky UFO".

Loved it.

This was a fun funk time. Nothing all that special.

Too much funk for me, not enough fun

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 just could never really get this; there is nothing bad about it, but I just couldn't find anything good about it

Good stuff! I love funk and the free spirited dance party rhythmic repetitiveness of it all. The album cover of the dude emerging from the UFO in platform shoes is joy. Although listening to this, I wish I could go back and change my ratings for Sly and The Family Stone and Marvin Gaye to five stars.

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

Just great

UNMATCHED GROOVINESS!

Great googly moogly!!! Funk at it's finest!

3.5 Never forget when me, my husband and brother-in-law got my MIL a Bootsy Collins Cameo birthday message lol

Better than the Funkadelic record from the same era.

Too funky for me :(

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!

I had a ton of fun(k) listening to this album. This was one of those albums that was just fun for fun’s sake. The musicians seemed to be having a good time, the music was upbeat and lively, and it was easy to get into the groove. Funk is also the only genre I know of where it’s not just accepted, but seemingly encouraged to spend half of the songs talking about how funky the music is. This album will definitely go in the pile of re-listens.

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!

Funkadeli, great album. Have been aware of this for a few months now but really enjoy the funky bass

This album made my day!!! Who knew I had funk in my soul?!?

Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication walked so Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik could run.

(70/100)

Solid funk!

It was ok. Kindof repetitive.

Ugh I just FUNKED all over the place

Amazing

Untouchable funk. Just a LITTLE bit less freaky than Funkadelic, but still 100% great. George Clinton is nothing short of a genius.

Really enjoyed this.

8/10. Entra como polla en culo, la verdad. Buen funkarro clásico, con su bajo con wah-wah todo el rato y sin parar el ritmo en ningún momento. Brutal.

Somehow lives up to its reputation, no matter how much it gets sampled, quoted, and overplayed.

This album is everything. It's a party, or at the very least it's sets the tone for a good day or night. Each song just makes you feel, makes you move, and is effortlessly cool, even with how tight they sound. It's a joy to listen to this one over and over

FUNKY

Had a great dance after work! I adore funk, especially when it's done well. Iconic work, definitely.

I've been a passenger on the mothership for many years. It was getting a 5 as soon as I saw I was listening to it today.

2.5 fav: - give up the funk

'P-Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb.' Authentic having-a-helluva-time music is harder to come by than you may think - it's either qualified by the tragedies inherent to blues music, or it falls far short of something eternally superb. But Parliament is only a good time, which is not to say that it's ahistorical or somehow willfully uniformed. It's to say that funk needed to go to outer space in order to effect this sort of unbridled sanguinity: 'Starchild here, citizens of the universe / I bring forth to you the good time.' Besides the obvious influence this had on L.A. hip-hop (Dre's 'Let Me Ride,' explicitly), 'The Bomb' is also a revelation of production, and in its own way, it's the revolutionary outlook incarnate: I dare you to have an ounce of worry left.

FUNKY

Solid throw back!

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

this album got me HORNED UP! slappa da beyass Short and sweet funk odyssey, hard de beat

Foul

The wrong Clinton became US President: it shoulda bin George, not Bill. Imagine the possibilities... Listen to this as often as you can. Your life will thank you for it.

Pure gold- legendary!

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

Holy snoop dogg samples! What a formative album for California rap and 90s gangster rap.

gud

That's a solid 5/5. Every track just perfect!

It's fun, but it does get a little repetitive.

Nah. After Maggot Brain which I loved I had expectations for this one. But if Maggot Brain was everything I could love about Funk, this one is everything I hate about it. Yeah, musicianship is good, but litterally it's similar annoying vamps. Sounds like a Donna Summers record to me. Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication had one riff that I liked.

I had to go back and look at the release date for this, and was surprised to see 1975. Seems like a good sign for a timeless album.

Tulevaisuus funkia. Oikein hienoa

Very fun, albeit repetitive. Fave Tracks: P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up), Give up the Funk, Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples 3.9/5

6/10

There is no way I am giving this album anything less than 5 stars. It's funk at its finest.

Enjoyable, but not my style. ★★★

This album feels like people having a lot of fun... except for me. Before giving any opinion about it, I want to give some context. I listened to this record many times while being stuck in a car for several hours, so this may have a big impact about how I feel about, even though, I also listened to my favourite music and still love it. With that being said, let's jump right into the review: I find it to be very uninteresting and boring... The first song starts with a nice hook, but then you have 3 to 4 minutes of anything until coming back to the original hook. It should feel rewarding but I don't think it works as a good climax. The second song has a basic melody that is repited through the vast majority of the track, which I didn't like, and the other elements also didn't contribute anything to me, so the song also was a no for me, except for the last minute, which has a change of beat and it becomes slower, and I did appreciate that part. 'Unfunky UFO' is the first one that I liked. The vocals have a lot of attitude and a great funky beat. Both bring the energy I was wishing for this album. The fourth song falls back into the uninteresting category. Not the most cacthy beat and super repetitive vocals. At least, it has some pauses. If it didn't, it would be unbearable. The next song rises the bar a little bit with some nice vocal and horns performance, and chord progressions, but it stills feels a bit repetitive towards the end. Following the last song, comes the nomination for the most annoying one. I can't stand the chorus repeating 'We want the Funk. Give up the funk' through the whole song. At least the last track sounds a bit funny with the synths sounding like farts and the cave man type of vocals. When deciding what score to give this album, I had to take in mind that this might be one of the worst experiences I had with this list, so that's why I'm giving 1 star. Maybe in the future, if I return to it, I will have a greater experience.

This is some very funky funk. Excellent party music, but songs drags on a bit for focused listening.

Gotta have that funk

Pa solidan album, ima tu vrh stvari i često si ih pustimo 4/5, 8/10

Instant 5. This shit is so groovy. Anything less than a 4 should mean jail time.

The epitome of funk really enjoyed this one

Gotta love the funk.

funky but boring

Funk like this doesn't care if you're in the mood for it or not. You'll groove either way.
