ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS BY THE QUARTET FUNK

Review Score: (10/10)
Along with the unpopular "BORN TO DIE" album, this is one of the best album they recorded with keyboard player CRAIG FROST, although the cover and title of this album (something I thought Don Brewer might have come up with)is silly, if not stupid. Additionally, I thought lyrics to the title track went to far. Anyway, my 2 favorite songs on this album are "MEMORIES" and "BAD TIME," however, they would have sound better if Craig would have played the mellotron instead of the band using an orchestra. The first song is a great beginner and "RUNNIN" is a great rocker. Furthermore, MARK FARNER'S voice on "LIFE" reminds me of MICKEY THOMAS, and "LOOK AT GRANNY RUN" and "WHY" are great tunes. "GOOD AND EVIL is a good psychodelic rhythm and blues rock tune. Unfortunately, the last song "SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL" is my least favorite song of just about everything I have heard from them. Whoever orginally wrote this may had a point, but I never liked the way it sounds. "BAD TIME" would have been a better closer for the album. When I downloaded this off NAPSTER, I switched the order of the last 2 songs because of my personal choice. More importantly, I can understand what Mark Farner's divorce put him through because I know how it feels to lose somebody you love and are really in love with. Furthermore, I also think MARK, DON ,MEL, AND CRAIG should have recorded a GFR cd with Mark writing about the war with IRAQ.
