First thought on opening up the page. Alright! Led Zeppelin! Wait, it's another sepia album cover. Not one I've listened to though. Good Times - There's a reason this has 146 million plays and the rest of the album doesn't. The bass line & guitar. 8 minutes is too long, but I can see how you'd want to keep that groove going on the dance floor. Rest of the album is forgettable as others have mentioned. Some nice bass lines and guitar playing, but nothing I'd revisit.

Holy shit, one of the most recognisable bass lines right off the bat! Sampled 217 times apparently, according to whosampled.com Great start, although it should have finished about 5 minutes ago. What a come down. This one seems a bit better, needs a higher tempo for goodness sake! It's all a bit slow, can you disco to this?! And it's over, that came around quickly. Apart from the first song, which tries to stretch a bassline out for way too long, nothing much really happens. I thought a disco record would be a bit more upbeat and uptempo, but this is frankly rather boring. 2 / 5 stars.

I don't think it was smart to start the album off with its most recognizable (and best) song, and it was an even bigger mistake was to follow it up with the album's absolute worst song. I still liked this album for the most part tho. 4/5 favs: Good Times, My Feet Keep Dancing, What About Me least fav: A Warm Summer Night

I don’t think the sequencing in this album is great. That being said, it’s a great record to get lost in. Deceptively complex. Dark brooding themes with butt wiggling beats.
