Music reviews of Maggot Brain
Music Review: The birthplace of funk metal.
Rating: 5 Stars
Why this album and this band are so overlooked is beyond me. Funkadelic were the forefathers of the funk metal genre, and their influence is heard on bands like Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Soundgarden/Audioslave, and so many more. To think that this music was made in the early 70's is astonishing. These guys were far ahead of their time.
The title track is an acid-fueled guitar solo that brings to mind the most inspired Hendrix solos put on tape. A slow minor key dirge with some incredible guitar soloing by Eddie Hazel, it is a feast for the ears.
The next track, Can You Get To That, is a soul-influenced psychedelic number with everyone taking turns singing. Quite a happy little tune. The next two songs really showcase the metallic side of the band, with Hit It & Quit It built around a jerky heavy riff, and Super Stupid sounding like the best of Cream and Stevie Wonder.
You and Your Folks, Me & My Folks increase the funk side of the album, but still retains that metallic edge throughout the album. Back In Our Minds is just a goofy number, showing that the band can be silly when they want to.
The last track, Wars Of Armageddon, show the band at their most expiremental, a sound collage of percussion and strange sounds. Very interesting stuff.
All in all, this is a great album and a foreshadow of the funk metal genre. I love it.
Description of Maggot Brain
Funkadelic's ultimate early classic (from 1971) remastered from the original masters for the first time in 15 years. "Maggot Brain" is rated by, amongst others, Mojo Magazine as an all-time classic. Their critics voted it the fourth greatest guitar album ever, beaten only by Jimi Hendrix and the Who. Guitarist Eddie Hazel's playing on the title track is nothing short of stunning. This 2005 reissue includes the original seven track album plus a bonus alternate mix of the album's title track. It also includes "Whole Lot Of BS", the non album B-side of the album's third single, "Hit It And Quit It", and the 45 "I Miss My Baby" recorded by US Music with Funkadelic, a copy of which recently sold among collectors for $150. The booklet includes in-depth sleeve notes by funk expert Dean Rudland, with details of the history of the band and this recording. The package includes a full color reproduction of the original artwork, contemporary memorabilia and copies of advertisements. Westbound U.S.Psychedelic Rock CDs
