Stand!

(5/5) This teetered on the edge of a 5 from the beginning, as I love a lot of what Sly has done. I had not spent much time, however, with a few of the tracks. "Sex Machine" was my tipping point into a 5. There's some big Sly hits on here, like "Stand!" & of course "Everyday People". Those are great and I love them, but "Sex Machine" was clearly the blueprint for all the Parliament and Funkadelic (more the later than the former..) jams that would follow this. Just incredible guitar work heavily steeped in funk. So good.. Add in some politically charged up lyrics on the album (you know what I'm talking about..) and this is a classic album. For me it's way down at the bottom of the 5 list, but it's a 5 nonetheless.

This is another of those acts that I've always had a generally positive impression of without really diving into their work, which is a bit confounding given my general love of 70s funk and soul (Ohio Players, Parliament/Funkadelic, etc.), so I was pretty pumped to see it come up on the list. Immediately, the DNA is apparent, if a bit dated and less polished than I suppose I expected, though that's totally forgivable (and even endearing) given the date of release. Everyday People was the only immediately recognizable entry here, which is considerably incongruent with the energy and tempo of the rest of the album, and it turned out that Sex Machine was the real highlight for me. I'll definitely be revisiting this one, and it's prompted me to take a deeper dive into the work and evolution moving forward. A solid 4/5 that is one of the better recent inclusions I've had in weeks.

Sly & The Family Stone incorporate so many influences into their sound. And it is quite the funky blend. The first Sly and the Family Stone album we had was one of my first experiences with this act and it came off a little chaotic. This was a much better production. Those funky guitar bits really appealed to me. 4/5

Oh hell yeah! This is the kind of album I've been craving. A funk odyssey that you just can't help but dance to, no matter where you are. Sly and the Family Stone were absolutely geniuses, crafting dance tracks that not only get your body moving but your brain thinking too. "Everyday People" especially is just as timeless as the first time I heard it, comprising of this plea for unity at a time of considerable division and eventually inspiring a similarly named track by Arrested Development, the album of which I am hoping will pop up somewhere on this massive list.

This was surprising! I expected one thing... and there was that one thing, like "Higher" but then there was also other things. Different things. And they were fascinating.

New to me and a great album

Favourite Songs: I Want To Take You Higher Sing A Simple Song Sex Machine

Everyday People into a 15 minute jam called sex machine is hilarious and amazing. Funky, trippy, inspirational, what more could you want?

Basically perfect. Sort of the Platonic ideal of a funk album, as far as I'm concerned. Sex Machine should be three times longer. I mean that in the literal and also smutty sense.

A classic album by a significant group. It's political and cathartic (and, unsurprisingly, somewhat American, eg "You Can Make It If You Try", but well, an American's an American in thought and act, or something). The singles are in any event stand-outs for soul-funk. I'm quite happy to listen to this album again - some tracks more than others. Some of the album sounds a bit chaotic, for a studio recording? The distorted scatting is strangely prominent in the mix. (But apparently this is the <before> cocaine album?) So I'll call it Pretty Wonderful (9/10) rather than Incredibly Wonderful.

So so good

So good.

Vrhunski album, baaaaš vrhunski! Ne dajem olako ovu ocjenu, ali pogotovo u usporedbi s kvalitetom glazbe na projektu, ovo je apsolutno 5/5, 9/10

Awesome groovy band

Not really my thing by everyday people is great

I wanted to like this album more than I did. I enjoyed it, but I feel like there was more to get. 3/5

This is what it feels like eating a steak from a Michelin star restaurant after eating a bunch of walmart processed meat. It just feels like a breath of fresh air after a bunch of needlessly unimportant picks from the 1966-73 era. I could listen to the first song for hours. Also, unrelated, but I’ve officially gone 100 albums without giving out one star (this one obviously isnt one of them)

This album didn't click as much as I wanted to. My Brain (Zig-Zag) is pretty good along with Stand! And I Want to Take You Higher but the rest of the songs overstay their welcome. The last third of the album has several repeats, just single versions. Not a great album to listen the whole way through. 6/10

Meh

Funky, but sloppy. I like the fun and the rhythms of it, but it's not really for me.

Likte! Det var funky. Litt rart og psykedelisk noen ganger, men samtiig ganske klassisk. Disco vibes, men tror ikke det er riktig ord heller.

i understood

Sooo much here to talk about - Everyday People is an incredible song, lyrically and otherwise. But I really think there’s an oddball energy to the album that makes it so interesting. I’d highlight maybe my favorite song on the album, Somebody’s Watching You, which features the line, “Shady as a lady with a moustache” - giving Pink Panther.

Weird but some good music found in there. Two stars

Some songs are strong and powerful, and I loved listening to "Everyday People" again. But I could have done without the 13 minute instrumental.

Some wacky words in here lol 👀 Great vocals and vibe. Everyday People banger on here!!

7/10… psychedelic soul / funk / *1969

Great funk album and one of the first to feature slap bass! This was the album the band performed at Woodstock. Every day people was later covered by Arrested Development. Great song!

The energy is pumping throughout but for every song I really enjoyed the next left me puzzled. Some over stayed there welcome and got repetitive. It’s unfair to the album of me but I’m also painfully aware it’s not what I usually listen to my tastes lean heavier. So all in all glad I heard It. Probably won’t be back.

Ganz coole Nummer, tatsächlich.

Hatte mal "There's A Riot Going On" gehört, die sagte mir mehr zu. Aber schon gut.

one of my all times faves.

228. Stand! - Sly & The Family Stone (1969) 10.8.26 Variety: 3 Adequacy: 5 Listenability: 5 Uniqueness: 4 Emotionality: 5 = 4.4 rounded down to a 4 "Beat is there to make you move/ Sound is there to help you groove" In my review of There's A Riot Goin' On ( which I gave a lackluster 2.4 rounded down to) I mentioned that you should go listen to this one instead. The previous one only had the one song I was familiar with - "Family Affair" - which was great, but the rest of the album was so downbeat and felt halfhearted. This is one I've heard more of ( not all though) and can say it at least has three classics on it. I remain mostly familiar with the band via the radio hits, and might have at one time owned a greatest hits compilation. I think this is their most well regarded album, so hopefully it holds up. My 70s funk and soul bona fides are decent enough for a Midwest white boy, but Sly & The Family Stone always seemed a little too hippyish to me, and are a pretty big hole in my music education. The Flower Power messaging and the collective nature of the group probably contributed to me writing them off, but there's no denying how influential they were, so for that fact alone they probably belong on the list. THE TRACKS Side one "Stand!" - We start off with some very positive, motivational messaging, all couched in a bit of funk that's not especially tight, but which does the job just fine. The soul, R&B, and gospel touches on here, along with the pop rock presentation are a solid preview of what we can expect from the rest of the album. It's slightly too Fifth Dimensiony for me in parts, and it's over with too quickly as well, with the stellar super funky music break coming in right at the end. I would have liked a whole song of just that, but it's enough to justify the track making the highlights. "Don't Call Me ------, Whitey" - Damn. This is some real in your face social commentary and I'm guessing was probably very much so back then as well. Great vocal performance here from Rose Stone that contrasts to Sly's chorus. The building atmosphere on this keeps the tension high, as appropriate to the content. The talk box on here is pretty awesome and has the effect almost of a wah-wah guitar effect, with the actual guitar low in the mix and completely fuzzed out. Best part is a bout a third of the way in when all these elements build and build and build, anchored by the rising horns. As cool as all this atmosphere is, this would be a hard listen without the earbuds in. Best part was the second half build, with the ENORMOUS bass and keyboards layered in and which felt like a controlled psychedelic freak out. "I Want to Take You Higher" - The first certified classic on the album, and a huge hit for the band. This is one I heard as a kid without ever knowing who the band was. Everything comes together here, and you get a real feel for the band as a complete unit. That harmonica is sooooooo good. And the hand claps. They are firing on all cylinders and having officially brought the Funk earlier, they now have gotten it out of it's box and commenced milking it for that sweet, sweet juice. The layers on this are pretty damn masterful, and the mixing is so superb that it really does have the excitement and feel of a live band that's in the zone, and pulling off some crazy once in a lifetime perfect performance. As much as I enjoyed those first two tracks, this leaves them well in the dust. "Somebody's Watching You" - Things swing back in the other direction for some lovery-dovery Flower Power, lighter delivery, but with some darkly paranoid lyrics, which makes for a cool juxtaposition. It helps that it's all so catchy and groovy, with some Latin inflected beats. "Sing a Simple Song" - I thought the last track was gonna be hard to follow up, but GOD. DAMN. The rhythms on this and the bass line in articular was amazing. Thrown in some great harmonies, cool as hell guitar work, and the best vocals yet and a super uplifting message of overcoming through sheer will power and celebration of life and it's no wonder this one has been covered by so many greats. This is prime "start your day" music that might just be up there with "Walking On Sunshine" in that regard. if you listen to any of the below covers, the Meters version is the one not to be missed, imo.

Pretty sure it was used prominently in a nation advertising campaign, though I can't remember for what ( edit: looked this up and it was Toyota. Gross, but hopefully Sly made some decent money off it. Though I doubt any of the Family did...). From the ICONIC opening piano riff to the super catchy chorus to the SUPER CATCHY verse, to the ALSO CATCHY refrain this song is crazy good. Has there ever been a better song about inclusion, diversity, peace and equality? Maybe, but not one as catchy as this. I'll say it again: Catchy! "Sex Machine" - This is one I was not familiar with, and thought it might possibly be a cover of the James Brown classic, but alas it was not. Or maybe not "alas". This was still pretty damn good. And besides, "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine came out a year later anyway. This is a very long jam with Sly talk-boxing his way over a, well, pretty sexy and slow motion groove. More awesome guitar work from Freddie Stone, but it's Larry Grahams massive, and rock-like bass line that carries us through the extended piece, longer by more than half than anything else on the album. This was a JOURNEY, folks, and well worth it. Just sit back and soak it in. "You Can Make It If You Try" - For some reason this track sounded more muddy and poorly mixed than everything else, especially on the vocals. It's also a touch more basic than most everything else on here, with its generic positivity message. Still though, if this is the worst track on your album, you've done something right. Not the best closer in the world, but I'll take it. "Soul Clappin' II" form the unreleased bonus tracks would have been a far better choice. Note: The following tracks, while technically recorded in a later session, were laid down only a few months after the Stand! sessions, and are a very good indication of the level of Sly's songwriting skills at the time, and are worth checking out. It's a shame the days of the single were still going as there are SO MANY great albums that would have been made even better by the inclusion of some of these. The Beatles albums are just one example of this. But I think this ends up making a lot of great acts seems less impactful than they were when you look back and see these well regarded albums, and there are only a couple of recognizable songs on them. Sly & The Family Stone are a case where I think this is especially true, and one of the reasons they'll always feel like a greatest hits band to me. Imagine if these had been included though: * "Hot Fun in the Summertime" * "Everybody is a Star" * "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" HIGHLIGHTS - "Stand!" - "Don't Call Me ------, Whitey" - "I Want to Take You Higher" - "Somebody's Watching You" - "Sing a Simple Song" - "Everyday People" - "Sex Machine" MIDLIGHTS - "You Can Make It If You Try" LOWLIGHTS - FINAL THOUGHTS Being massively influential comes with the baggage of then being compared with all the bands you influenced after the fact. I think these guys have that against them to start with. So many acts copied them, but being sandwiched between James Brown ( who influenced them) and P-Funk ( who they influenced) is a a tough row to hoe, at least when it comes to being memorable. Then Sly's problems, and the band falling apart just as it was getting huge, and having such a relatively short run only added to the sense that these guys were not as big as they actually were. All that said, I think its a shame I didn't give this album a fair shake before. It blows There's A Riot Goin' On out of the goddamn water, and makes it look unfinished and sloppy by comparison. This was much tighter, more full of life, had better arrangements, better playing, and more variety and texture... I'd heard a good portion of it, but never all at once, and I'm glad I got to finally experience the full thing as intended. Not sure it'll make it up there with the all time favorites, and it's got some VERY stuff competition in the funk and psych-soul department, especially with three P-Funk albums coming up. But it's a pretty solid classic of the genre, and is due way more respect than I think it probably gets anymore. Unfortunately, I could see this one being a casualty of times slow march forward where even the best of the best is slowly forgotten, played less and less as classic format radio stations go the way of the dinosaur. In a hundred years we'll be lucky if more than a handful of Beatles songs are still in regular enough rotation to be familiar to the youngins, much less Sly and company who already seem to be fading. Possible turn-Offs might include: - a lot of disparate sounds happening all at once - some very on the nose and earnest lyrics - serious messaging You Might enjoy this if you: - love any of the bands they influenced - want some funk in your life - dig those positive motivational vibes PLAYLIST ALTERATIONS - Think we're good here.

Soul & Funk musiikkia parhaimmillaan. Meininki on alusta loppuun asti päätä nykivää.

I actually really enjoyed this wau

Everyday people was a bop and the rest too funk for me

I never typically listen to much psych, let alone psych soul and funk but I think I appreciated this way more than standard psych rock efforts. Liked it a lot! Don’t have a lot else to say here really.

Pretty good, I'd never listened to them before. I preferred "Fresh"

Pretty good

Great album! Jam towards the end went on a bit too long but hard to fault apart from that. I need to buy it. 4/5

Good funky album with some great tracks....funkadelic like!!!

Track By Track Stand! - Beautiful song. Lovely lyrics. Again, feels very relevant to me personally! They can do feel-good music very well. A call to truth and standing up for what’s right. Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey - Nice effect on the guitar (wah I think), it’s like it’s speaking. Very soulful impassioned singing as well. A simple message and refrain. Quite liked. I Want to Take You Higher - Quite nice how they’re bouncing the lines between the different singers. Emphasises the family element of the group. There’s no harmonica credited but it’s sounds like a harmonica and it’s perhaps the highlight of the song in my view. Somebody’s Watching You - This is a switch up! It’s like a simple, sinister, political tune. Sweetly delivered. It’s a little reminiscent of Labi Siffre or someone similar. Sing a Simple Song - Sounds very ‘60s in the beginning then full on breaks out into the funk vibe. Would likely be a good sing-along one. Everyday People - I know this well. What a brilliant song. I do also like Jeff Buckley’s version of this as well, when he slows it down and still leans into the groove in his own unique way. But this original is great. Strong, short, sharp and powerful performances. I will say it kind of sounds slightly odd in the tracklist though. Sex Machine - Gettin that psychedelic funk (from the wiki description) vibe straight from the get-go on this one. They have that talking instrument effect going on again and it’s really working here. Great grooves and soloing happening. You Can Make It If You Try - Back to a more succinct, proper fun funk tune. Nice harmonies, chord & key changes. A great original. Overall Review: I was aware of these guys before but I hadn’t listened to hardly any of their stuff. Was definitely impressed by the musicianship and playing, the horns, the keys, the effects, the proper vocal ability. Strong lyrics in many ways too. Didn’t love all of the songs. Some did feel a little long and also the tracklist felt a little disjointed at times. There’s both a tightness and looseness to it. At times (Sex Machine), it feels like an extended jam. But overall very decent and some really great standouts. Am glad to have discovered this. 3.4/5 Favourite Songs: Stand!, Everyday People

Who doesn’t like a bit funky soul

Funk med några klassika låtar. 3,5 av 5.

4 or 5 4 or 5....i can't believe this is from 1969. it's like funk but acoustic. kind of unrelated but i also really dig this album cover. i think i will go 5 since you know what? i enjoyed it more than some of the 4s. everyone's saying this album was really influential too so i need to do some research, there's a chance i change the rating.

Funk is really cool!

This is way better than the incoherent drunken rambling of an album we had from Sly before- this is funky, it bounces, and it grooves along. Perfectly enjoyable, even if the individual songs are a bit long in the tooth. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Stand could be an alternative greatest hits album for Sly and the Family Stone as more than half of the songs became classics. The album represents the breadth of the group’s skills in all musical areas. I did not give it the highest ranking, because I love the songs, but not on an intrinsic level needed to make it an all-timer for me. “I Want to Take You Higher” and “Sing a Simple Song” exemplify the famed Sly mix with multiple vocalists, great distorted guitar riffs and a pronounced groove. The legendary Woodstock version of “Higher” diminishes the superb recorded version. Sly developed a transition sound between pop, typical R&B, Hendrix and Funkadelic. Everything is more pronounced than earlier styles. The beat, vocalists and solos jump out more than even “psychedelic” Motown of 1968-70. It’s both weirder as the vocalists swoop in and out, often shouting nonsensical phrases and PBS friendly due to Sly’s singalong lyrics. Unlike Hendrix and Funkadelic, Sly did not allow the guitar effects and other sounds to dominate his songs, except for the stretch jam tracks like “Sex Machine.” The balance that Sly struck makes Stand accessible and unique. No other artist blended these qualities in the same manner, which created the massively successful and influential, but hard to duplicate music of the group.

A classic party record. Funk brilliance brought to you loud but ultimately joyfully resulting in a great album!

It's 3.75

Hard to listen to with fresh ears. So many songs have been in commercials, TV shows and movies that seemingly have nothing to do with their original intent. In my experience, they are best as individual tracks, as opposed to a cohesive album. The songs themselves are a 4/5, but as an album they are not as strong.

298. nice

Just a great album that I enjoyed. And funky as hell. So: 4/5

Great

Even though Stand! is not Sly & The Family Stone's first album, this project feels like a revision of what the band had stood for and focused on previous in search of this new grand sound. This album focuses a lot more on the instrumentation while also having some killer writing that helps appease fans on polar opposite ends of the Soul spectrum. If you want more drawn out jams then I would highly recommend Don't Call Me and Sex Machine, and if you want Soul songs to make you feel alive again I'd recommend the title track Stand! and Everyday People. While I do appreciate this album trying to appease to all kinds of Soul fans, I do feel it makes this album a bit clunky and drawn out a bit more than it should be. This album will have vastly different reactions from everyone who hears it and I wish I was much more into this album. I want to dive more into Sly's music but I guess for now I will have to leave this here.

This has some good stuff on it! Not a go-to listen for me but I like it.

Very catchy funk music that I really enjoyed.

It was fine. New to me, liked Higher.

Not for me particularly, but I didn't hate it!

Funky! Favorite tracks - Everyday People, Stand

This is world-class, socially-minded, musically creative, tight funk from the people who built it, and it somehow manages to be hopeful even as the civil rights movement is fracturing. It's music full of energy and fire and passion in a way that we don't seem to get as much any more (sorry, I'll stop yelling at clouds now). As a bass player, this album gets an extra bonus as the recorded birthplace of slap bass ("Everyday People") - thank you, Larry Graham.

First time listening to this Great message, great sound. Loved it and will definitely be back. Going to mark down slightly just because ‘Sex Machine’ is the weakest track and no need for it to take up a third of the album.

"Stand!" is a great song, but I wasn't fan of the rest of the album.

Really excellent funk music. They used to just have a song that for four minutes was saying don't call each other slurs. Absolutely wild.

Visai nieko pasiklausyti.

There are times I listen to an album and it just plays as though the band genuinely enjoy playing the music they’re playing. This is one of those albums and I really enjoyed the funk. The instrumental funk masterpiece, “Sex Machine” stood out as my favourite. Had a funny moment on my second play through, was cottaging up Northern Ontario and was trying to find a hiking trail and ended up lost, turned around at a gate covered in “Private Property” signs and made the decision to turn around. While finding my bearings I heard a knock at my window, old grizzled dude who owned the property must have had a camera set up and came to check on me. Seemed weird and was a bit uncomfortable but I just told him I was looking for a trail to run, he said there was no trail and the whole fire route was his road. I said I was leaving and he seemed ok with that but after he left I realized I had kept the album playing and was curious what he thought of Sly. 4 stars

Everyday People Stand

Classic funky pop music, not something I seek out but a fun way to spend an hour.

I liked it, it felt really bluesy, the guitarist tone and style was just great, I generally liked this album, even that one song

6/10

fun album not for me but i appreciate it the second song though wtf

This album was ok. I like the groove and especially Everyday People.

As Austin Powers would say "groovy baby!" It was just a little too funky for me.

Track #2 was a little pearl clutchy for me, but otherwise not bad. I recognized the song Everyday People had been sampled in a song from Rent

I think I get it. Important and on the list because of the cultural and protest vibes to the way things were going in the `60s. It got into some interesting flows, but also some parts (and entire songs) where they repeat the same lyrics over and over (looking at you track 2). It will surprise no one that constant repetition of the same lyrics doesn't grab me, even if they're thoughtful (which they weren't, just defiant and making a stand). it got a bit more party-esk later in the album. Overall it was a fine funky album.

Updated 1001 album exclusion rules: - obnoxious use of wah-wah - vocoders - excessive fuzz Combinations of these will be referred to Nuremberg.

Oom-bappity da- bibbly sha beep-bop aww huh-huh-huh yeea. Three

That's some good funk.

Fun

Super funky and got a whole lotta soul. Definitely some drag-on songs though

Can't wait to toss this one on over Thanksgiving dinner.

As many before this album, I respect the cultural impact, but I have no desire to hear it again.

Best Track - "Everyday People"

Of an era. but stands up today with most of the songs still remaining relevant.

Just an excellent album, with a couple of wild song titles

It really wasn't made for a white European girl, I appreciate it though.

Pretty good.

3.5

Really underwhelming. Lots of the songs feel half baked and are just jammed a few times then thrown on the album (maybe that's the point). Everyday people is incredible. Sex Machine at 13 minutes is awful.

YO CRACKHEADS

It started a little slow for me, but finally got into the groove. Good album with a lot of funk, soul and good vibes. Favourites: Everyday People and You Can Make It If You Try

Good. A bit funky. Won’t go out of my way to listen again. But had some decent head boppers.

Just about a 4 because it's cool, funky, broke a lot of ground, and is played with a lot of skill and love. Not many notable hits which are in the zeitgeist (or in my mind as I create and trademark this term for the first time - The Whitegeist), and I only knew the title track going in thanks to The Jackson 5 cover.

Eh

Tiene la canción "I want to take you higher" el cual es un temazo que cualquiera reconoce y no sabía que era de esta banda y mucho menos de este álbum. Despues de tener que rankear albumes muy viejos que no me generaban nada llegó este con cosas novedosas inclusive para un oido moderno como el mio y me gustó bastante todo. Muy buena escucha aunque monótona por momentos. 3 estrellas y media.

Funk soul brother

Great funk & soul

there were a couple funky songs on here but for the most part would not recommend
