Every once in a while I throw this on just for the title cut. And then remember there's a couple of other joints that I like. Overall its alright.What's y'all take.

maybe the most consistent and hard hitting album they did, imho, even if it was put together by the label
yes and If You Aint Gonna Get It On,Take Your Dead Ass Home

I don't think it's an "album" at all--isn't it just scraps that Westbound tossed out in an effort to capitalize on the band's success at Warner?
If I remember correctly, there a mention of this in the liner notes of the "Music for your Mother" comp (don't have my copy handy). The tracks for TOKF and the "Hardcore Jollies" album were recorded at the same time. Then they picked and chose which tracks would go on each, and I think these albums were released only a few months apart.
This album qualifies easily as my leasy listened to Funkadelic album.
It doesn't compare to Maggot Brain, Funkadelic, Let's take it to the stage, Cosmic Slop (which is one of my favourites) or America eats it's Young.
still, it's not a bad record!
That's what im sayin. Its the one I dont usually play but when i do i get reminded of some treats.
Id like to know how it was received by their audience at the time, as well as the critics back then.
I never heard cats reference the album.
Truthfully, I don't think it sounds radically different or worse than what came before - this would have been a logical progression from their last LP (Let's Take It To The Stage), even though it is rather slick.
