It is over.

Well, that was Funky.

It is over.

It was an album that was more style than substance, with most tracks going on for too long and having far too little point. On the other hand, I liked the squelchy bass.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Guest Tue Jul 14, 2020 9:16 pm

I'd go 4 1/2 if I could.

dunno

Great fun, but it must be said - and I say it in all honesty and in no way by way of doing that "it's not as good as the earlier stuff" blah blah

, but "Stretchin' Out" really is a better album.

Very very similar in certain respects, but superior in every department.

The funky tracks on side 1 are more focussed in a Parliament-y way and the side 2 tracks are sultry, slinky masterpieces of the Sleaze-Funk canon.

Still, you'll not hear me slagging off anything by any of them.

Even their most mediocre work has more soul and vivacity and integrity than a lifetime of U2 or Coldplay or The Police or every other white band or person that ever tried to say their CV was a discography.

ah, s*d it, the man's got a personality that can single handily raise a nation's economy, and a groove that won't stop.

But I just can't give 2 ★★★★★ reviews in one nite…

Or can I?

no.

I think you need to listen to the sermon from The Process:
