5.0 out of 5 stars Summertime classic, March 28, 2002

Eric Burton had no idea what would happen when he left war. What happened was that War became The band of the early 70's. All day music was playing in the park all summer that year and the song perfectly describes War. Tight harmonies, great musicians, and lyrics that paint beautiful pictures. Ya had to be there, like I was. However, their music still stands the test of time. That's What Love Will Do, There Must Be A Reason, and Slippin' Into Darkness could of each been singles, as they are all great jamss.
A fabulous group with a distinctive fusion of soul, rock, blues, funk and jazz. Couldnt ask for anymore from anygroup at anytime.

Never has an LP appealed to such a wide range of music lovers. War's 1971 release (their second offering in the post-Burdon era) "All Day Music" delivers the goods and then some. From the summer haze beginings of the title track to the dark isolation of the hit single "Slippin Into Darkness". "All Day Music" never fails to hold on to your attention. You become engulfed by its unsuspecting power.

Any metal clad rocker would have tipped his hat to Howard Scott's guitar riffs in "Nappy Head" (which was supposed to make an appearance in the film "Ghetto Man", but was never released), a moving, chilling score that will garner many repeat plays. "Nappy Head" is the formula to any night out and about town in your V8. War even close out the set with the live stomper "Baby Brother" (which would later turn up in the studio on 1973's "Deliver The Word" and released as a single).

"All Day Music" turned into the soundtrack to anyones daily routine. Some will argue that this wasn't as powerful as "The World Is A Ghetto" or as commercial as "Why Can't We Be Friends?". Make no mistake, this is War in top form musically and lyrically. A must have among all music lovers of the post-modern era and perhaps War's strongest recording ever. Yes, even stronger than anything the band did with Eric Burdon. This is classic War.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALL DAY MUSIC REVIEW, December 9, 2004

This was WAR'S second album minus Eric Burdon. It showed a fantastic range of musical versatility. From the day at the beach ballad All Day Music to the Gritty and Funky Get Down this album is a must for anyone who wants to really understand what the group was about. Slipping Into Darkness is still the funkiest song ever recorded, even after 30 years. They do the original version of Me and Baby Brother taken from a live 1971 concert that makes their later 1973 remake hide in shame by comparison. Simply put...It's A Go. Listen! Enjoy!. No need to thank me.
