Before they went all pop October 20, 2006

The Commodores started as a street funk band and so there are some real parallels with Kool the Gang. Both produced raw Funk albums to bring them to public attention and both stuck with that till public tastes (!) dictated a move to overproduced schmaltzy rubbish.
br /
br /Still, enough of that, this is the Commodores first hit album for Motown, and there are some snarling Funk tracks "Young Girls", "Sanctified", and the well known instrumental "Machine Gun". There's variety too, "The Zoo" was played on the Northern Soul circuit, although it doesn't exactly fit the preconceived idea of a Nortern track.
br /
br /All in all a very good album that serves only to point up the contrast with what they would become.

This album really is quite funky. Exceptionally, funky in fact. Quite different from the soul/pop of The Commodores more well known hits. Right from the opening track you can tell you're in for something of a treat, the musicianship is fantastic throughout, as are the funk grooves consistently dirty and in your face. The singing is great, as anyone already aware of The Commodores would expect it to be. This is an album which really doesn't let up. Everyone knows that, deep down, they long to get into funk music, and this is a great place to start. If you're already into funk, then you have no right not to own this record. It's also one of the greatest party albums I own. An absoloute gem.
