5.0 out of 5 stars Another classic by GFR, November 30, 1999

I remember listening to this album in high school and bringing the Lp to class when my English teacher let us bring an album. I played PEOPLE LET'S STOP THE WAR and a lot of feet were moving and hands were clapping by the end of the song. I recommend this CD to anyone who wants to know the true GFR sound. Excellent sound on the remastered version.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Funk's best, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: E Pluribus Funk (Audio CD)

With growing up with Funk in my early teens I had always enjoyed GFR. Knowing that the music critics came down on the band (shows how much they know)I wanted to put in my 2 cents. Mel, man, can you flat lay down those floor shaking bass riffs! If you do not understand, listen to "People, Lets Stop the War". Mel SHOULD be rated as one of the top bassest in rock and roll. I rate him with Chris Squire, Tim Bogert, and Jack Bruce. His riffs carried the band through out all their albums and made them interesting. In this album he simply out did himself on the riffs. THANK YOU MEL!

5.0 out of 5 stars The king of all heavy studio albums, October 13, 1999

The album was loud and very political. "People Lets stop the war", "Save the Land" and the beautiful "Loneliness" are Mark Farner songs that not only say what he wants heard, they pretty much yell it. This aside though, it rocks like no other GFR studio album. Only on "Loneliness" do they let up a bit adding in an orchestra that works well with the drums, and bass. Jon Lord of Deep Purple named this as one of his favorites and said that GFR were the first band to incorporate an orchestra into rock music where neither was over powered. Even if critics didn't appreciate what GFR were doing, their peers did. It is amazing how much sound three guys can put out. This was one of the first GFR albums I ever heard, and the first CD I bought of the band. The CD sound is good and powerful. It is a MUST if you are even a casual fan of GFR.
