I love how this album goes from quiet to loud as the tracks build up. Parliament were funk trailblazer for Pixies. I couldn't stay still listening to this. The funk slowed down and stretched out. I felt a little peculiar after the album had finished and needed to sit down.
This sounds great, but I was also left feeling that if you've heard one Parliament album, you have heard them all, to a degree. It's a formula, but a good one. I recognised bits here and there that had been sampled, but this was more a background to other things than something that grabbed me and made me listen from start to finish.
