there's a riot goin' on (sly and the family stone)
Nice. It's a nice, deep, low, fuzzy, dark funk record. An ambient funk sound. Many of the songs start in a nice, melodic, distinct moment of pop, and then glide towards less distinct funk jams. This is a mood album, a nice, low funk mood. My favorite track is "Family Affair," some other good ones are "(You Caught Me) Smilin'" and the casually cheerful, vintage coke commercial "Runnin' Away." Many of the tracks are cool but boring, to be honest. I mean, it's good as a funk record, the reputation of the record obviously is tremendous, but I'm not in love with it as music itself.
