5.0 out of 5 stars COMPELLING, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: America Eats It's Own Young (Audio CD)

THIS ALBUM WAS ORGINIALLY RELEASE AS A DOUBLE ALBUM I HAVE IT WHEN IT FIRST WAS RELEASE ON VINYL AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS . THIS IS STILL THE MOST COMPELLING INTRIGUING FUNKADELIC ALBUM EVER. WHAT MAKES IT THIS WAY IS GEORGE AND HIS P-FUNK GANG WAS GOIN THRU A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT SOUNDS R N B, BLUES, ROCK, FUNK, ACID TRIP ROCK ETC.. IT IS ALL HERE IN ONE ALBUM..

THE GROOVES ARE INTOXICATING VOCALS ARE EXCELLENT.. THIS IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST EARLIER FUNKADELIC ALBUMS

SOME OF THE HIGHTLIGHTS (FAV.. CUTS) A JOYFUL PROCESS , LOOSE BOOTY, PHILMORE, I CALL MY BABY PUSSYCAT FUNKATEERS PICK IT UP

This review is from: America Eats It's Own Young (Audio CD)

I've listened to this album countless times and everytime I find something that amazes me. Given the time that this was originally released, some of the sounds being created may only be explainable through the space-age manner of thought that followed with Parliament. The first track is the most amazing to me. With several (suprisingly well fitting) changes, we hear a little blues, a little soul, a little techno (and you gotta listen deep in the first section to know what I'm talking about,) and a whole lotta funk. Then there's of course "Joyful Process" which we've all heard a piece of on countless hip-hop classics, but it's still the only song that can get me to sing a hymn. "Balance" is the best psychodelic rock song ever written. And "Biological Speculation" is just the most comfortable music I can recall, with some of the most disturbing lyrics.

I can't keep going or I won't stop. Just pick up a copy, or ask your mama if she's got one hidden.

This review is from: America Eats It's Own Young (Audio CD)

this is a strong Album that speaks Volumes about Life In America.The Music covers a wide Spectrum but the feel&tone is Very Black.alot of Pride&Soul.this Album pulls no Strings about what is Going on.Albums Like This one is Ground-Breaking.George Clinton&crew were 20 years ahead of the curve.This Takes James Brown's Say it Loud I'm Black&Proud one step higher.
