Funkadelic "Cosmic Slop" Album Review

(3.5 stars) Funkadelic in transition
After America Beats its Young got country and doo-wap out of Clinton's system, it was back to insane, psychedelic epics loaded with all kinds of distorted guitars and the usual streetwise protests. Said streetwise protests are usually the best songs: the dramatic, tightly-wound title song (about a woman forced to prostitution to feed her children, as if any P-Funk fan doesn't know that already), the anti-Vietnam "March to the Witch's Castle", a spooky, militant eulogy for Vietnam vets complete with basso-profundo sermon (though it's a good type of sermon!) and heavy guitars; and "Trash a Go-Go", another prostitution protest. Okay, so Clinton doesn't like prostitution. Neither do I. Objectifying women is wrong, and that's the highest form of it. A whole album of protests can get boring, though, and this record does have quite the sense of humor: the warped blues "No Compute" is simply one of the funniest songs ever, even though it should not be played at Joey's third birthday party if you're trying to avoid an awkward conversation. I also like the groove-based near-instrumental "Nappy Dugout" (essentially "Let's have sex!" repeated for an entire song), other than that percussion, and the Caribbean Temptations crossover "You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure". Then we've got... god, the other three songs. I don't remember a thing about "Can't Stand the Strain", other than that it's the last song on the album; "Let's Make It Last" mixes the "Cosmic Slop" guitar melodrama approach with banal love-song lyrics; "This Broken Heart" is yet another slow, pained love song that's impossible to sit through more than one minute of. This is a critic's favorite, but the fact is Standing on the Verge of Lighting Your Fire (hey, it means the same thing) is a better album

Funkadelic "Funkadelic" Album Review

Moves my feet and moves me to tears
This album is the best investment i ever made. I'm a 16 and i play guitar and the solo on maggot brain puts every guitarist i've ever heard to shame,i t moves me to tears every time and eddie hazel has got nowhere near the recognition it deserves. I can't believe more people haven't heard this. And its not just the title track, EVERY song on here gets 5 stars from me. This band puts the supposed heaviest band ever, black sabbath, to shame on super stupid. its super heavy and on top of that you can dance to it and eddie hazel plays another classic solo. enough from me you should get it now, it criminal to not recognize this album for the masterpiece it is.

Funkadelic "Let's Take it to the Stage" Album Review

Funk used to be a bad word.
This is another example of how creative the music was in the 1970's. "Chocolate City" was already doing something. Funkadelic's album was a little more "coarse". With intense guitars, booming bass', pocket drum beats. Slick vocals, they were at thier best here. The album cover almost made me not buy the album. Every song here is a favorite. The opening song "Good To Your Earhole. I love Eddie Hazels guitar solo. Better By The Pound was also a great dance number with "Billy Bass" Nelson on the bass. "No Head" is a funny song about a girl trying to get backstage but the bouncer told her "No head, no backstage pass" (blush). Be My Beach is a slow song but it's a hot one. Bootsy Collins on bass & Lead vocals who sounds a lot like the late Jimi Hendricks. He's sharing vocals with George Clinton, the late Sting Ray (Bass singer) Davis & Calvin Simon, who sounds like Walter from the O'Jays. Title Cut is slammin'. "Get off your ...& Jam" was the song. Eddie Hazel sho nuff plays a hysterical guitar. "I Owe U Something GOod" WIth Garry & Calvin on vocals, they are holding it down, while the guitars sounds like some middle eastern play! Stuff & Thangs is great. Bernie Worrell is holding it down. "The Song IS Familiar" sounds real churchy. Garry Shider again, singing that song with so much soul. "ATmosphere" Bernie takes a stab at the Hammond B3& other keyboards, while George is obviously saying something "common" in the intro. This is one of the best albums that was ever released. RIP Eddie, Ray, & Tiki Fulwood!
THis album concept was actually the stuff going on backstage at the time. Who's going to go on first, equipment being sabatoged...stuff like that. I heard that some times fist fights happened. Funk says....Let's Take It To The Stage......
