Rated 6/10
A little disappointed in this one. Just ok
Rated 6/10
It was ok. Funky, but not really attention holding. I am having a hard time remembering much of it.
Rated 8/10
It's a shame, I was excited when I saw today's Album of the Day. Unfortunately, there were a few tracks on this rather extensive album that got on my nerves. So I didn't enjoy it throughout. 4/5
Rated 10/10
For when you want to have a bad time, but also a funky time
Rated 6/10
The perfect soundtrack for when you're too disillusioned to dance but still want your existential crisis to have a funky bassline.
3.0/5.0: Good
Rated 8/10
great instrumentals, many of the songs go on for far too long but i wouldnt mind hearing this in short bursts of one or two songs at a time
Rated 10/10
Essential. Needs to be heard.
Rated 6/10
In a word , GROOVY!
Highly influential mellow funk. There are some forward looking sounds on here: oscillating guitar lines, keyboards of unknown origin, bass lines that rock you and roll you. Sly’s voice is amazing too. Really entertaining album.
Rated 4/10
I can appreciate Sly for what it is, but it isn't really my go to. 2.5/5
Rated 4/10
still no music for me to listen to for an entire album
Rated 4/10
The Good: It’s a family affair!
The Bad: It’s a family affair…
The Ugly: Family affairssss…
I never understood what the big deal is with Sly and his stone family… This album did nothing to change my mind…
I listened to it. I feel like I didn’t accomplish anything meaningful by doing so… funk is overrated, as far as I'm concerned—unless Stevie Wonder does it!
So, emblematic album, yes, should someone listen to it, yes, and am I breaking grammar rules by placing all the previous in one sentence, yes!
2 1/2*
Rated 4/10
Nada acontece, o disco não decola. Como fica explicitado em suas duas faixas mais longas: "Africa Talks To You" e "Thank You For Talkin' To Me Africa", onde a melodia curta se repete infinitamente, sem nenhuma progressão ou mudança de tom. Mas o pior mesmo são os vocais repletos de gemidos e grunhidos. De positivo a bateria acústica, tentando seu espaço entre as baterias eletrônicas e o baixo se sobrepondo, embora um pouco agudo (estalado) em demasia.
Rated 6/10
I enjoyed this. I tend to enjoy the type of music where you could tell they were heavily abusing drugs while making it. Overall good sound.
Rated 6/10
Netter Beatnachmittag mit viel Luft nach oben 😊
Rated 4/10
Ik snap de omschrijving funk. De basiselementen zijn aanwezig. Maar de funk-ervaring heb ik zelf niet. Soms is het te chaotisch, soms te gemaakt. Maar de zang leidt mij het meeste af. Zoals bij de hit Family Affair. Eerst een dame die prima op een latere eurodance-plaat terecht had kunnen komen. Dan de rauwere man, die nauwelijks zingt en zijn stem wat laat overslaan. En dan wisselen ze af in het refrein. Niet om aan te horen. Ze trekken het volledig uit elkaar. Het is vast bewust met een diepere reden. Een reflectie van familierelaties of iets dergelijks. Prima, maar geen reden om het na vandaag nog eens aan te zetten.
Rated 6/10
There were some bits that I really did quiet like, but I think I tend to prefer funk a bit more energetic
Rated 6/10
Don't know what I expected, definitely not something this funky. I think it requires several listens to understand. 3*
Rated 10/10
Love it. Always a great listen. Love the lazy, hazy atmosphere. Never lets me down with it's whacked out weirdness.
Great Cover Art.
Rated 8/10
Great funk
