Reviews
"Distortion was always a major part of the Sly & The Family Stone sound, and it's wonderful to hear an expensive album breaking up in this way.", Ranked #30 Among the Greatest Albums of the '70s., 4 stars out of 5 -- "The album's mood was dark, its structure loose. As an expression of drug-laced ennui and an evocation of the post-'60s comedown, it has a grim power.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The album opened new dark corridors for funk and anticipated hip-hop and neo-soul.", "...One of the most influential innovators in recent years, Sly retains a certain inventiveness and a characteristically high-strung sound...", Included in Vibe's "Essential Black Rock Recordings"., Ranked #99 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Implosive, numbing, darkly self-referential...", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century, "Even Its Darkest Moments Have a Seductive, Funky Gait. Probably Why Prince Found Religion."
