It's Parliment. Classic awesomeness. Nothing else to say.
Plain excellence great beat!
Honestly most of this album sounds like generic 70s funk to me. But Mothership connection and give up the funk are truly awesome. Maybe the rest of the album will grow on me, but maybe they're just a greatest hits kind of band rather than an album one. Having said that the musicianship is flawless and there's many interesting sounds throughout. I cant decide if its a a synth on the last track or its a engineer stood outside a toilet stool with mic on the worse day of George Clinton's life. I'd give the album 3 stars as a whole but the two songs i mentioned earn it an extra star.
Great album, a lot of fun tunes and some funk classic songs. Finally know who George Clinton is haha
I love funk. Maybe didn't have any major radio hits I'd know decades later. But solid the whole way thru & got the sound
8/10, better than expected. Turns out I do want the funk
Solid funk album. I don't love it like I love Maggot Brain, but solid none-the-less.
Liked it -
Very good but sometimes too repetitive
Funky.
Omg I love 70s funk.
Never been into funk but this is great
3.5/5
Starts strong and doesn’t give up. A funktatsic four stars.
so funky
“Make my funk the p-funk, I want my funk uncut. Make my funk the p-funk, I want to get funked up”; supergroovalisticprosifunkstication jammed, night if the thumpasorus peoples (ga ga goo ga) jammed. This was a head bouncer of a record
very funky. I like it
I recognized some of the songs but didn't know about the group. Like it!
so much fun, these basslines will be stuck in my head forever
Funk always makes me happy.
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Love the funk music. There are aspects of the music that are very 70s, but overall it's pretty good. I wish there were more prominent bass lines though. This is a light 4/5
Funk slam dunk
Absolute FUNK! Wild that this comes from the guy who made funkadelic. Love it for its tasty bass and drums, and the e-Z listenability.
Very fun album. Peak Parliament.
That was fun(ky)!
Really enjoyed this
Funky
Sparks joy
Funky
fat funk
this seems like pretty solid stuff honestly. another in the "good cooking music" folder
Punkkk!!!!!
Make my funk the P Funk. I've blasted this through an outdoor stedson at a bbq before.
FUNK
Oh man that's some FUNK! Got me groovin' all morning. But that last song sounded like farts the whole time though.
Funny and highly energetic grooves
Never been a big fan of funk but this is irresistible good fun and has some mighty grooves. I might be a convert!
Into it. What a fun album. A bit short, but really good!
Classic. Would love to see these guys play this live. Literally been listening to parliament for years. Enjoyment of this music is correlated with the amount of people in the room
So funky! So good.
SEEEEEEEE 8/10
I love the use of a good envelope filter!
I liked it.A but long in points but a good vibe.Weird song about “handcuffing your women” but whatever.Good album with lots of funk.Like a 4.4/5.Some bits dragged on for way too long though.
Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong We have taken control as to bring you this special show We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving Welcome to station WEFUNK, better known as We-Funk Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection Home of the extraterrestrial brothers Dealers of funky music P-Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb Coming to you directly from the Mothership Top of the Chocolate Milky Way, 500, 000 kilowatts of P-Funk-power So kick back, dig, while we do it to you in your eardrums And me? I'm known as Lollipop Man, alias the Long-Haired Sucker My motto is Make my funk the P-Funk I want my funk uncut You gotta love George Clinton. This is an undeniably funky album. 4/5
Classic funk album. Very good but didnt resonate for me.
It was good to hear the source of SO many hip hop samples. The music was fun but not quite as engaging as I had expected. Still definitely worth a re-listen.
Lovely funky album. Come back to.
Two of the best in the funk genre in short succession - George Clinton fans rejoice! You know exactly what you're getting here - cosmic grooves and fresh hooks that stay in your brain for days after hearing them. Not close to Maggot Brain in terms of accomplishment, but still a lot of fun. Three and a half. Fave track: Give Up The Funk
I liked the funk vibes more than I might have expected. 4 stars
classic funk
wow! Looking forward to hear it again with a glass of gin tonic in my hands. #Funk #R&B #Funk_rock #disco
I really love the humor that tends to be inherent in a lot of funk. I guess it's just natural to be loose, funny, goofy, innuendo-laden, and generally focused on having a good time. I love this record. One of my longer tenured heavy metal bands had an idea once about coming out on stage to a track from this album (I can't remember exactly which one). We found it funny to come out to funk and then go right into some gross death metal but we ended up doing the theme song to Terminator instead. Regardless, many listening sessions happened for this record and hearing it now still brings me back to that time, some ~15 years ago. All of these tracks are pretty solid and I don't really hear any weak ones. Playing this loud really enhances the experience too. I just remembered, we were going to use the track "Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)" (what a name) as our entrance song. Man what a terrible hard-left panned synth in this track hahaha. Overall I feel like this is a pretty monumental album for funk and I think it's a solid 4.
FUNKY Seemed ahead of its time and had fun with its concept.
Sweet grooves and phat bass lines all throughout this album that lets the funk flow like volcanic magma, a fun time was had.
good funk album, recognized some of the tunes, definitely interesting.
Oh deze was echt goed!
Yooo leuk
first time listening have heard give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker)
this funk goes HARD favourite tracks: the whole album
It was fun-ky
I can really appreciate this album and I love the songs (mostly) but it really felt repetitive to me after a while of repeating the same riffs and lyrics for 5-7 minutes. That said this album had so many hits and was really influential so I’m giving it a 4 instead of 3.
Puts the fun in funk
Groovt
Are they by any change a funk band? Why do they need the funk? What are they going to do with it?
It's Parliament. You know you're going to want to shake your groove thang. And I did! Fantastic album. But it's not Maggot Brain. That's a 5 star, and this is close. But the Parliament-Funkadelic collective had already hit their highest highs at this point.
Funk funk fuuunk
Essential funk
Forty minutes of James Brown not turning up for the vocals.
So fun and weird
We got the funk
So god damn funky!
Good representation of their work.
I'm not a funk fanatic, but this album is relentless, and I can't help but love it. Door to door solid.
Funky!
Funky. Tout n'est pas aussi funky que souhaité. Mais ça reste sufisamment funky pour être satisfaisant.
Pretty dope beats Funky Fresh
*Mothership Connection (Star Child)
Kinda funky. I didn't mind it.
Great "Funky" album, that I've now added to my playlist
Funk muy chulo. Me ha gustado. Un 4.
Some great Funk. Quick album but great from start to finish.
Funk, funk, funkety, funk. Enjoyed it more than I expected.
I dont think I have listened to a full funk album but I have heard Give Up The Funk before. I really enjoyed it even though my missus walked past and asked what in the hell I was listening too. It took me a while to explain the whole Funkadelic/Parliament setup, then she rolled her eyes at me and walked away mumbling curse words. 4/5.
Excellent album.
Super fun album!
Super funky with a capital P. You’re dead inside if you’re not dancing along to this wherever you are.
I would dare to call Handcuffs and Night Of The Thumpasorus Peoples earnest. Relatively, of course, and not why any of us are here with ears, but high points nonetheless. May space music never die while I keep trying to dig.

La verdad me sorprendió, me gusta mucho todo el instrumental, te mantiene entretenido y moviendo el cuerpo al ritmo
This album is a party that I'm not cool enough to be invited to
Tremendous. Not many albums as cool as this. Give Up The Funk was an absolutely delightful surprise Stays in the rotation
Not the genre I listen to the most, but it still was fun to review it.
Classic.
I think this album was very funky and fun I quite enjoyed them! It was very very nice and funky and fun and I loved.
Dial into radio station: WEFUNK Results: Funktastic Bombs. There's nothing not *fun* about this - a great sounding record, and the musicianship is top-notch (special head-nod for/to that bass in "Give Up the Funk"). If there's a negative for me - and I think it's a fair point that applies to a lot of Parliament's work - it's that the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts; a negative to me meaning that not many of these tracks are actually great *songs* in the traditional sense. The band will lock into a theme and not deviate that much from it, which might be why it weirdly works as an overall piece of work but each song by itself is merely ok. I'd rather listen to the entire album then have a song on a mixtape/playlist. You can clearly hear the massive influence these guys have had on popular music even (especially?) in the past decade; so many of these grooves and sounds are copied or even sampled on a lot of music today. TL;DR: As with all P-Funk, listen to the entire album at once. 7/10 4 stars.
Super fun, genre-funk record. Last two tracks are mega-bangers - and the whole record is full of energy and good humour - kind of like the best of Chili Peppers try to be, but much better.
This is a great album. Not stellar, so still only a 4 but def great. Plenty to like, esp the instrumental-ish sections - excellent musicianship and well produced.
Dope. Super dope.
Happy to be here, but how can I be so late to this party? I am new to P-Funk, Parliament-Funkadelic, etc. This is better than any imitations that have come since. pure enjoyment. stylish, ultra cool, joyful concept and the instrumentation even works. warm vocals, hilarious, and they know it.
I want the bomb, I want the P-funk! Totally joyous, awesomely funky, amazing musicianship, what's not to like? OK, maybe some of the tracks go on a bit longer than they should. But that's a small quibble when talking about funky jams. Contains one of my favourite lines of all time "That's the law around here. You got to put your sunglasses on...so you can FEEL COOL." Never gets old! 4.5 stars.
So much funk. Loved it, great album, the definition of funk.
So funky, so fun to boogie to while getting ready for work. Really enjoyed the vibe of it, and made me think I should explore funk more!
A fun, funky album. Thoroughly enjoyed it
There was a middle-aged white lady in a lab where I once worked who told me her favourite all-time album was Mothership Connection. I confess I never listened to the whole album until now - only Tear the Roof Off. Shame on my funk.
funky bien piola
Absolute Motherfunker! Brightened up my day :)
Super funky!
And on the seventh day, the Lord said, “Let there be funk.” And there was. And it was good.
Me likey da funk. Actually a bit over "Give Up The Funk" but I liked Unfunky UFO, Supergroovalistic..., and Handcuffs.
Feeling properly funksticated.
Along with James Brown P-Funk is responsible for funk as we know it so for that alone we must be thankful. This is certainly funky and weird
This is the funk, right there.
4/5 stars. i'm sure its probably 5/5 but i was busy and couldn't fully get into it. def a pioneer in sound. funky & groovy. so much going on in the background, but it makes me want to try cocaine from the 70s to get on their brainwave.
I love funk but this just doesn’t do it for me. I want to be able to give it a 5 but it just doesn’t do it for me. Maybe it’s a bit unfocused, seems like a cool jam but never really develops into a proper track? I can hear how influential it is, but I just can’t love it. It’s a prime example of the recommended tracks that auto play on Spotify after the album finishes being much better than what I was supposed to be listening to.
Haven't listened to funk much but I really liked this one. Sometime on the second listen it got too overestimating though.
You are either a Clintonite or not. If you are this is with the early Funkadelic albums much the best place to start. Pretty damn good from start of finish. And like all good funk albums its chief subject is of course the funk. Getting it, having it, being it, losing it...
This album provides an interesting contrast with Maggot Brain, the previous Parliament album that I got on this list. Whereas that album was ponderous and often dark (though also very fun once you get through the first track), this album is much more lighthearted. The addition of horns from James Brown's band really adds a lot to the group. It has some absolute classics on it, and even the songs that I didn't know were all good. It's also nice to see dance music that is able to build slowly over a long track rather than focusing on a more stereotypical formula. The influence of this album is really hard to state. It provides so much of the sound for West Coast rap in the early 90s, but it's presence is everywhere in electronic music and modern dance music as well. 4/5
funky punky
There’s a lot of funk content here, how much they love funk, how they gotta get it that funk, how funk fares in space, basic funkenomics etc. Things got weird with the Funk fart song, not sure what that was about but I liked this overall 3.5 rounded up to 4 bc it was funky fun.
Ah cette groove de Mothership Connection (Star Child) qu'on retrouve sur Let Me Ride de Dr. Dre. Un sample incontournable. Le son plus connu du P-Funk vient vraiment de cet album. Ça groove à fond et ça explore. Un album essentiel.
Good funky bits
FUNK. Favorite track: Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication
The album cover is a delight and the song names are goofy in the best way. The opening track is a great intro to the giddy space funk that follows. Sometimes it's just about having fun. Did I need to hear this album before I died? YES! Do I want to hear it again? You bet I do! Favorite: Give Up The Funk (Tear the Roof Off The Sucker)
A classic. Nice to hear the source material for so much of what came later.
Fun. Kee. 4/5.
Funk was never my cup of tea, but later bands obviously cite this as a major influence.
Funky group with funky sounds i love Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off This Sucker) and also Supergroovalisticprosifunkication (The Bumps Bump).
3.5/5 not a huge funk fan, but was a fun listen
Funky as FUUUUUUUUCK
Funk indeed Pretty fun listen, I would buy this record if I stumbled on it
Enjoyable and fun. A little repetitive at points but overall a good listen.
this was pretty solid. i enjoyed it
Good album, did Gotye get some inspiration from this?
Mothership Connection, indeed. Classic Parliament.
7/10 give up the funk, but this one is actually a nice one
Great energy
You can see where funk and rock got fused together here. It's definitely a Bootsy album. Highly recommended!
It’s pretty good not what I expected but good
This does exactly what it says on the tin! It funks the hell out of the space! Love it!
Hressandi fönk, flottar útsetningar.
Love funk! This was a lot of fun
What a blast of an album. So dancy and catchy and fun the whole time. 8/10
Really fun classic funk album that didn’t overstay its welcome but did feel slightly repetitive at times
you can never go wrong with some 70s funk
hard to argue with this
It’s funk, what more needs to be said?
Muy buen álbum. No lo había escuchado nunca
Having listened to The Chronic at an early age, I was aware that most of the beats come from Parliament, but it was still fun to discover and listen to the originals of where they came from. Great Album!
Well, wow. Some incredible funktastic funky fun funk here. I'm coming back to this one.
I do indeed feel funked up, as promised. It will be interesting figuring out where the lines between soul and funk (which I apparently like) and hip hop, R&B and rap (which I'm not sure I do like) lie over time.
Funky as hell though lost me a little towards the end. Really enjoyed.
Man, imagine not liking PFunk. Couldn’t be me. A-. These songs are meant to be heard live, but I can’t imagine going any lowee.
It's a funkadelic funkalicious funktastically funky Parliament album. The Mothership came down and influenced thousands of artists in the years to come.
Funky
Great funk! Fun times, with a new appreciation for themusic of the times
not listenable for long but good
4/5. Love it
2nd August 2022 Listened in the morning before going to the office. Saw Sav and Booty in the evening to chat stag stuff. Love it, still funkadelic after all this time.
Brilliant
Great!
Mjao jag gillar funk!
very funky!
This is my shit. Never heard of this band before but definitely will more after this one. The sax, hats and kickdrum that come in at the second half of "P-Funk" were mucho mucho bueno (just have to get through the vapid narration for the first 2 mins). Who knew sci-fi hip hop was a thing.
LOVE these guys. What a classic album intro for George Clinton. Maybe still prefer funkadelic slightly more.
Great album to start the journey
I like the original Funk genre, and this album is a great example of it. The songs are fun to listen to and the rhythm throughout the album feels great, and I particularly like the opening track's radio welcome. If I have any one issue with the album is that every song in it feels "good" but nothing feels "great". A thoroughly enjoyable listen for anyone who's a fan of the genre and somehow doesn't know the album, and overall really solid.
Busy album. Cool to hear the roots to Dre and Snoop Dogg's Let me Ride here. Parliament brings the funk here. Mothership Connection belongs on this list, no doubt. It's more of a feeling than anything though. It's about the funk, making the funk, showing others how to funk, all things funky. That makes for fun album, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I mean, look - t's Parliament. There are a lot of albums that have this much swagger and don't have even half as much to offer. I'm looking at you, The Chronic. This is just effortlessly good. It's not even engaging the whole time, but every bit of it is right. I might give this 5 stars and it'll be the first one I've given 5 stars that is kind of a background album for me. But I might not. We'll see tomorrow.
Funky. Great music
Quick and all funk
Groovy, pretty upbeat and fun
Funking good. I might've gotten bored if it wasn't so short, but it's an album about getting groovy on a spaceship, what's not to love
Great Funk, a lot of talented artist involve in the project. Fews hits, but good overall vibe, that will put a smile on your face :)
George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell are the best funk power trio out there. I discovered them in my long quest of listening to all Buckethead's collaborations and their music stayed with me. What a groovy insane album that had a strong influence on the 80s/90s hip-hop. Really like this one!
They got the Funk.
Truly a very funky album. One way you can tell is by how often they use the word "funk" in song titles and lyrics. Speaking of song titles: Night Of The Thumpasorus People really is a pretty amazing title.
Funky
Another unexpected hit! Couldn't resist the funk.
Intéressant comme album. Un peu bizarre pour la thématique spatiale, mais la musique est vraiment excellente. Ça groove en sale. Probablement pour ça que c'est un album qui a été samplé régulièrement. Mon premier du groupe et je serais content de l'avoir dans ma collection.
Solid album.
I'd like to live in this album. I need to live in this album. Just an all around party.
Cool vibes and some really good tunes. Like the opener and of course “Give up the Funk”. 3.5 and rounding up because the world is a better place with Parliament in the mix.
Roller Skates not included. The opener sets the scene and the grooves keep on coming.
Oh yea, this is some good stuff. Super solid album by Parliament, anything George Clinton does just drips with groove and style. So many layers, sounds and things going here, and you really get the sense they're just having fun with it. The one minor complaint I have is I felt like the songs dragged out just a little long sometimes, especially with all the repeated chorus sections. To me, this is a very strong 4. I feel like it's missing just a bit of a "je ne sais quoi" to push it into 5 territory, but it's still a great album. Fav Tracks: P. Funk, Give Up The Funk
It seems that the influences from this album - or that were formative for this album - are ever-present in modern music. A quick check of "WhoSampled" shows 70 songs that sampled this album, and assuredly the non-credited influences are much more difficult to track. A good education, great sound, and a little too funky to put on repeat.
Funky sound that I really loved
Funk outta here
It's silly, funny, and self-parodying, but the groove is infectious - plus it's very sexy music. Puts me back in teenage mid-seventies discos. Can hardly distinguish one track from another, they all have the same driving rhythm - it's just one long continuous stream of funk - but that's OK because I like it. They must have had a lot of fun playing it. Dig that crazy beat, man!
Very good, very funky. I really liked the concept and style of the album. 100% relistening.
This is great party music (as funk always is) with a cosmic futuristic sound. It's a loose jazzy concept album that doesn't take itself too seriously. All in all a pretty solid album with nothing sticking out as being particularly memorable or bad.
Oh yeah!
P-Funk, come on, who wants to get funked up?! awww yeeeah!
Pretty awesome funk album. Don’t think many people have done it better than parliament. This album has some classics and some other nice songs that were new to me. This is a nice funk album. 8.0/10
4.5
Funk muy chulo. Me ha gustado. Un 4.
So close to 5 stars. So funky, but the fart bass on the last track was just toooo much for my ears.
I liked this quite a bit more than the other funk album that was generated earlier (Maggot Brain by Funkadelic). I think the instrumentals are cool and fairly easy to listen to without being especially boring.
Good funk album, enjoyed it - more upbeat than Maggot Brain. Think I still liked maggot brain more
It's good, cracks me up real hard. Reminds me of the key and peele Skit.
Perfect for what I was in the mood for whilst running, so fun and funky
Ah man the FUNKY FUNK. So fricken funky I can't handle it. But in a very good way. So fun and a bit silly at times. Puts you in a good mood. Loved it!
Funk! FUNK! FUNKY FUNK ALL OVER
This is great - had never heard of the band or the album (but do know their other work as Funkadelic). Not a bad track on this album, but none that are absolutely stellar, stand-out individually either - that's why it only gets a 4 for me even though I really like it and will be listening again. It has great energy, a bit of attitude, and a really cool sound that fits beautifully with the zany track titles, lyrics, and broader theme of the album.
Funkyyyyy

I fell down a PFunk rabbit hole a few years ago. It's a fun time. It's also need hearing where a lot of the Dr Dre/Snoop samples come from.
I'm not the biggest Funk fan, but there's something about the way Parliament does it that just works for me!
Great funk album. I feel like I heard half of Dr. Dre’s The Chronic in these 7 songs
Deep basses. Psychedelic atmosphere.
In the summer of 1993, at a robust 12 years old, I was in love with Dr. Dre’s “the Chronic”. Way too young to be listening; the beats and grooves were so enticing I just had to dive in head first. I had no idea the music I had fallen in love with was actually sampled and based off of a lot of this album. So, here I am almost 30 years later falling in love with this album. A+, so much fucking fun to listen to. I found myself moving and reacting to this the way 12 year old me reacted to “Let Me Ride” or “The Chronic” back on those hot summer days near the apartment complex pool. Instant 5 stars for me, so glad I found this.
Always a good groove with Parliament, and I heard of licks and beats that I recognize from later work like Dr Dre
Функ
The cover looks like a heavy metal album .... and surprise there was some really rocking tracks here! Fav tracks : Give Up the Funk
I should preface this by saying I'm not an expert on funk music, but at least off of the top of my head, I'm not really aware of any other concept albums that play within the funk genre, but it seems like a perfect genre to play around with in this way. Further contributing to the idea that these guys don't take themselves TOO seriously, they centered their concept album around something that was already fairly corny during the 70s: space and sci-fi. That said, space-y synth lends itself so well to funk music, and these guys clearly understood that! I was surprised when "Give Up the Funk" started and I recognized the song -- so iconic! I love putting band names and track titles to iconic songs that are embedded in our cultures without us being completely aware, often due to their use in movies and television! My personal enjoyment of this album comes in at about 4/5, but the album's worthiness in this project is a definite 5/5.
This has gotta be the funkiest album I've ever heard. If you like funk at all, this is a must hear.
Liked it, very funky as the name suggest
So good

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

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

FUNKAYYYY
pure funk
Great
Funky and mind expanding
WEEEE WANT THE FUNK
Absolute funky vibe
7/10, Funky
One of the best funk albums. Especially the opening monologue adds to the album experience.
1 of 1001
8/10 nice funk album, kinda cheesy
8/10. Really sounded like they were just making mouth-farting noises for a lot of the last track, but had some really enjoyable parts as well, and I enjoyed that they had a silly sci-fi conceit. I'd say 8/10 despite being a bit too funky for my taste
It's kind of silly how little i've listened to this band. Loved it
Party music! Bootsy is so sweet with it!
Funky AF
Funk
Gloriously over-the -top seventies funk.
Liked it
Just love listening to these guys. Fun!
Funky
Very funky!
I know... For all of the times that I bang on albums for repetitive, simple lyrics... But it's funk? And I want my funk uncut? But it's so good, and light years ahead of their time. Musically a 4.5, lyrically a 2-3, replay value 4.5, and 5 for legacy and influence. I can't give this one less than a 4.
I don't often listen to funk but when I do I usually like it. And this was top-notch funk by the master himself. Really gets my butt moving. 4 stars.
Never heard of this band. Recognized a ton of the samples from 90s hip hop. Enjoyed the album!
Excelente experiencia funk!
Rating: 8/10 Best songs:P-funk, mothership connection,
Record oozes funk. Extremely good album.
Funky as hell!
P-Funk. It's funk but with some weird back story linked to space. I think. Dropping acid would probably help. Best Tracks: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up); Unfunky UFO; Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker);
Oh hells yes, funk-tastic!
I have a disappointing lack of funk in my life and this album cured that. My kiddo loved dancing to it too.
Not my absolute favorite, but I appreciate it for the funk that it is.
Funky funk funk...P-funk...uncut funk ;-)
Funky party music - like it
Very cool listen
Funk is so much fun. I think I prefer it a little diluted though. Great album.
Definitive funk sound. Prominent use of spoken word. Exceptional vocal performance on “Handcuffs”. Virtuosic rhythm section. A number of catchy melodies. Deserves multiple listens.
Interesting old school funk, did know some of the songs though didn't know the album
This album is just fun. Give Us The Funk is classic and Handcuffs was another fun and funny song. Best listened to as an album I think as opposed to picking and choosing songs from it. You can see why Warren G and Nate Dogg pulled from it.
No doubt why is the foundational funk album
It's funk! Not my style, but sounded nice.
WE WANT THE FUNK, HERE COMES THE FUNK On a side note, I now understand what 'funk' means
Surprising how much Parliament has influenced and been sampled by hip hop/pop/all music. Fantastic! I love the concept of putting black people in situations that were never thought of before...Mothership, baby! WOO!
Нужно будет послушать внимательно несколько дней. Но этот альбом явно войдет в число любимых.
Very accessible and groovy. Clean disco funk basslines. The chanty slogans are catchy enough, but the vocals are the weakest point (although they typify George Clinton P-Funk).
Absolutely class, funkademic, 4/5
Never heard this album before and really enjoyed it.
Always happy to have to listen to funk!
OK, another story. In my high school days, Sudbury would not be mistaken for diverse. Of course we thought it was diverse since it had Italians AND French Canadians!. There were very few people of colour. One of my friends was black and when I crashed at his place he played a bunch of funk which, at the time, was a million miles away from what I was otherwise listening to. The only band name I remember was Brothers Johnson but who knows, he could have been spinning Parliament too. This album certainly sounds like the stuff we were listening to back in the day. It was influential for me so whether or not it was Parliament I have a good rating for the genre and the year of release.
Is he fucking the controls of the spaceship? why are his legs up like that? Amazing album
Fabulous Funk ! One of my favourite genres. Loved it! ***/* ?
Super funk 🕺
funkadelic funkiness!
Whats not to like?!
Funk-tioniert für mich ziemlich super in direkter Einheit mit der One Nation Under A Groove neulich. Während aber Funkadelic das Mothership dort wieder gelandet hatten, geerdet mit dicken Gitarren und Psychedelic Rock, hören wir es hier erst einmal auf seinem Weg Richtung Outer Space. Luftig schwebend, schwarz glitzernd und beladen mit diversen auf Goldfolie gepressten Street Sounds, um denen da draußen den Slang der Pimps zu lehren. Das ist sehr locker gefügt alles, hier schwitzt nichts sondern es bleibt immer elegant. Und funky, natürlich, ich weiß nicht ob das irgendwo erwähnt ist. Dr. Dre jedenfalls hat gut zugehört, und wer wie ich z.B. immer mal wieder The Chronic oder Doggy Style rausholt, der fühlt sich sofort zuhause. Für die Wärme, für den Sommer und für mehr Luftigkeit: 3,8!
buen disco
Funky. Last song sounds like farts.
Funk sin más pretensión que la de entretener, haciendo que el oyente disfrute de los casi cuarenta minutos de duración del álbum.
Very funky -- really enjoyed, despite not having listened to much music in the genre before
Très funky. Bon mood funk.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this, I did.
Some pretty funky shit!
Oh yeah, funky as anything. And sci-fi psychedelic as anything else! Fave track - tempted to say "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" due to the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" connection, but I'm gonna go with "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" as it comes across as a funky manifesto...
I enjoyed this album and the funk.
Good album. I've listened to a lot of funk music and there's something about this album that gives it another twist. It's very psychedelic and dare I say... out of this world!
I didn’t realize how many of these famous tracks were from ONE album. Wow
Whoa! Did not expect this intergalactic journey!
Pure unadulterated funk. Can't beat it. Highlights: -Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication -Give Up The Funk
Can hear heaps of Thunderfox in there, especially Unfunky UFO. Didn't like the fart synth in Night of the Thumpasorus, overpowered an otherwise sick closing track
Not really my style, but it's fun to get into that 70s funk once in a while.
Funky
Super duper funky. Short and sweet. This album has a specific vibe and when it's right it's right. No standout songs but the whole thing is just good.
Great album. Heard it before but was an enjoyable callback to some funky times
