One nation under a groove! It’s a great sentiment that has got lost along the way.
This is the fifth album from the funk kings. Parliament were the more commercial of the collective, as Funkadelic were way more experimental. I love seventies funk, and I have quite a bit in my collection. Parliament are great when they play, but they lose me a bit when they do the jams with ramblings from the Funkospherespoken over the top. ‘Gamin On Ya is fantastic, whereas Dr. Funkenstein just rambles on. Gettin To Know You is a soul funk gem. Everything Is On The One should be a funk mantra, as that’s what it is. Funkin’ For Fun is a great funky classic.
Not the best Parliament album, but still a very groovy record.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
