20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best of The Commodores

A pretty great G/H collection!

Aside from the massive hit Brick House, I never really took the time to check out any more of The Commodores music. This collection of tunes here I feel was a pretty great introduction to the group!

Now, as it turns out I actually knew a good handful of songs from them and the whole time I kept going..."Oh that one!" Songs like Easy, Lady (You Bring Me Up) and Machine Gun I was actually quite familiar with.

One thing I must applaud the Commodores for is their versatility. I expected a pretty uniform sound all similar to Brick House, but actually they dabble in all kinds of different types of Soul, Funk, and R&B. This collection shows that range quite well and it made for a very entertaining listen.

The only song I wasn't too keen on was probably Sail On. It was like a country soul cut but it sounded a little awkward in execution compared to anything else. The song Nightshift was also a bit dated sounding with it's distinct 80's production.

Either way, I would definitely recommend picking this up if you ever find it in the wild, it's perfect for smooth easy listening or just getting down and being funky.
