"This album broke some barriers between rock and soul music that Jimi Hendrix had only begun to break down before his untimely death. No worries, Eddie Hazel was doing similar things on the guitar, though with another approach, and the vision of George Clinton to play through. If you think Neil Young's 'Tonight's the Night' captured a mood of drug/alcohol-addled redemption, you really should listen to this song cycle [song-psycho?]. Clinton nails acid-rock and the band bursts through it, full of raw power, humor, and divinely-inspired re-alignment of the planets. This stuff can be enjoyed in one long monster jam, or song-by-song, and the desired effect is what you'll find when you improve your interplanetary funksmanship. Dig!"

Free your mind!

"I know George and company had to been blowed out of their mind when they recorded this album back in 70. But you still can't take away the fact that it was a very good recording. Not to mention, there was a message in Funkadelic's music even if it did sound somewhat bizarre. George Clinton was quite politically aware of what was going on during that era, which was why a lot of their music along with his other group Parliament was so great. I'm proud to have this title along with all of the others in my collection."
