4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most fans think, August 4, 2001

This 1974 recording doesn't rate highly with most Grand Funk fanatics. I suppose it's no surprise; after years of loud, in-your-face rock albums and tours, Mark Farner, Don Brewer, Mel Schacher and Craig Frost went into the studio and made an album that has a lot more R&B and a lot less rock than ever before. And yet, despite the complaints, All The Girls...has many inventive moments. The seven-minute Good And Evil is fascinating for Brewer's strange, processed lead vocal. Look At Granny Run Run is sheer, goofy fun and Memories is a serious stab at out-and-out balladry. Of course, older fans said 'what the heck is this band doing a ballad for?' They might have a point, but no creative musical act should be put in a stylistic straightjacket.

Many Grand Funk purists would argue that the band peaked as early as their first live album, but commercially they just went from strength to strength. Released not long after a couple of chart-topping hits, "All the Girls in the World Beware!" was the beginning of the end for Grand Funk Railroad. Although tracks like "Some Kind of Wonderful" had their appeal, it's hard to believe that the same band that recorded the classic "red" album just a few years previously was now responsible for such bland fare as "Bad Time". The greatest irony is that just when the market for hard rock was growing like a monster, one of the prime acts of the genre was fading away to a meek shadow of its former self
