Music Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.118) - Ranked #99 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Implosive, numbing, darkly self-referential..."
Rolling Stone (12/23/71, p.62) - "...One of the most influential innovators in recent years, Sly retains a certain inventiveness and a characteristically high-strung sound..."
Spin (p.122) - "[E]ven its darkest moments have a seductive, funky gait. Probably why Prince found religion."
Q (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he 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."
The Wire (p.56) - "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."
Down Beat (p.68) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] opened new dark corridors for funk and anticipated hip-hop and neo-soul."
Vibe (2/02, p.87) - Included in Vibe's "Essential Black Rock Recordings".
Vibe (12/99, p.164) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century
NME (Magazine) (9/18/93, p.19) - Ranked #30 among The Greatest Albums Of The '70s.
