I knew within 5 seconds of the intro to the first song that I was going to like this. And I don't even like disco that much; or at least, I never learned how to properly appreciate it. Every human on the fucking planet has listened to Le Freak at least 30 times. I dare say it's the most well known & generic disco song of all time; next to Disco Inferno & Stayin' Alive. I dare say this may be more recognisable though. The guitarwork on Savoir Fare was incredible. It reminded me of Zappa's Watermelon in Easter Hay. The guitar tone was near identical. And the beautiful backing track, with the loud, crisp and gorgeous guitar tone over the top. Whoever was playing it was an absolute fucking weapon too. That's genuinely one of the best solos I've ever listened to. I cannot emphasise that enough. Happy Man was a fresh and uplifting tune after the brevity of one of the best guitar instrumentals you'll ever hear. Straight back to monkey business on the disco dancefloor. Chic. I found this song not as iconic as the others, with a lot less substance to take in than it's predecessors, but I still enjoyed it very much indeed. I Want Your Love takes you straight back to the radio friendly disco that I was expecting from this record. This feels very similar to an early 80's pop song, with less emphasis on the disco elements. Very remiscent of Steview Wonder & Steve Vinwood (or whatever the Higher Loves guys name is) It was super catchy and I caught my head bobbing along more than a few times. The longer this song went on the more I fell in love with it. At Least I am Free slowed things down a lot. I didn't gel with this one as much. The singing was obviously great, but otherwise I didn't find this one particularly interesting. I didn't necessarily hate it, but the song just sounded like a stereotypical 80's romcom interlude song. You know the part where the girl comes to terms her love failing? That part. Next. After the slowdown, Sometimes You Win perks you right back up and throws you straight back into boogie mode. This duet is where the two singers really show off their synergy and talent. It's more of the same disco-ey feel that I've come to expect 7 songs in; which means it's catchy, crisp, and crammed with immense talent. The instrumental solo really broke things up and kept the song feeling fresh, though I do wish it came on a little earlier than the before the last chorus of the song. Oh well, still a great listen. (Funny) Bone sends you off the album with some sharp instrumentals. I'll admit, it feels like an interlude to the second side of this thing - but it's not. It's the end. I actually really enjoyed the way this thing ended, especially with the Circus and Clown comment. If you couldn't tell from my wall of text and analysis of each song individual; I fucking adore this thing. I've never heard any song from CHIC apart from Le Freak (who hasn't), but boy am I glad I did. This album is fucking amazing. I was not going into this expecting to give it anything higher than a 3, but alas, a 5 it is. Absolutely fantastic, I'm genuinely blown away, and can't sing this thing's praises enough. This is one of the best albums I've listened to so far out of the 202 or so I've gotten through. 6/5.
