LOL FUNK ROCK DEFINED! Seriously though, there are some psychedelic/funk/weird albums out there that never made sense. Not when they were released, and not even 3 decades later. Maggot Brain, to me, just gets more bizarre after each listen and for that reason, all the more awesome! Heck, this release would have gotten a 5 star rating by me for its opening track alone…which is basically a phenomenal 10-minute guitar solo by Eddie Hazel who is one of my favorite guitarists ever. Like ever ever, everrrr! But luckily, the talent doesn’t drain off and carries on strong till the very last track. Plus, look at that cover. Tell me you’d pass that by in a record store and be foolish enough to not add it to your collection. COME ON TELL ME! Anyone who said they wouldn’t pick it up deserves a good slappin’. Or as George Clinton genius-ly (sorta) said, they should go and “…drown in (their) own shit.” LOL. K, I’m done.
My key tracks: Maggot Brain (well obviously, since I’ve been creaming over it up there), Can You Get to That (I recollect with mixed emotions, all the good times we used to have, but you were making preparations for the coming separation and you blew everything we had) and You And Your Folks, Me and My Folks
