Josiah Reynolds's Album Reviews

It's hard for me to describe an album this extraordinary good. It's supremely trippy, sometimes disorienting, and always an absolute blast. This is a top 5 album by anyone for me and I can't praise it enough. Listening to it is a total head trip, with its intoxicating, LSD laced party atmosphere; in part due to crazy production, ridiculous lyrics, irresistibly groovy funk, brilliant vocals and instrumentation, and just a general feel to it unlike any other. The songs themselves are sensational and I would kill to have been apart of the recordings sessions because the fun and craziness of it all is so obvious through the recordings. Funkadelic and co. would never again reach the heights of this album and it stands as something unique amongst the rest of their discography. Their follow up album comes closest in sound, but doesn't compare in quality.

This was my first funk album only a few years back, but as a big fan of psychedelia, it grabbed my instantly. The high quality of the songs themselves soon became evident, too.
