Customer Reviews

Try to forgive them for "Party People," and it's an okay album
This album is commonly reviled, and as mentioned in my title, this is primarily due to the 10-minute "Party People," Parliament-Funkadelic's one song to unironically embrace disco. After a promising start with "Prologue"/"Gloryhallastoopid," a standard-but-solid song featuring Starchild, this third track's cheesy commercialism kind of sours you to the rest of the album. On the album after that come two songs universally recognized as among Parliament's best: "Theme From the Black Hole" and "Big Bang Theory." "The Freeze," though sometimes criticized as overlong and uninteresting, also grows on you and has more going on instrumentally than you may appreciate at first. There's also little wrong with "Colour Me Funky" or "May We Bang You," though the two songs are certainly nothing to seek out.

I'd give this album 3.5 stars, on the strength of the two essential songs plus enjoyable lesser tracks "Gloryhallastoopid" and "The Freeze." Serious fans won't regret having it (especially for a mere $6.95), but it's not a key recording since the best two songs are available on most compliations.

WOW!!!!
I was only ten when this album was release in the fall of 1979. The first single released off this album, which seem like a sequel to "Aqua Boogie" but this time, the P-Funk crew are back in space again, was "Theme From The Black Hole" featuring Sir Nose of course.

But, the main single that blew me away on this album is no other than: THE BIG BANG THEORY!!! When I heard that track, that single alone did it for me. One listen, I was SOLD!! WOW!!! Just pure hardcore funk instrumental. Enough said period.

Yes, STOOPID!!!
For all intents and purposes--Parliament as we knew them was on a Mothership that was hit by the system. this to me was a pretty-much "Funk You Casablanca" album and Trombipulation was more of "Take this and put it where the Funk don't shine".The "Glory" album set you up for a big let down if you were looking for somethinglike "The Motor Booty Affair" They should have stayed underwater. My favorite track to this day is "The Big Bang Theory" and "Sizzleanmean" those by far are the best tracks and it will remind you of the struggle the group had with "The Clones" album--Music went into different directions, the musicianship was not as tight and that pretty much had to do the the writing of the songs---Maybe that's why Junie Morrison called himself J.S. Theracon--out of pure embarrassment--The newer members of the Pfunk mob are truly great musicians, you cannot get around that but, this album let you know somebody did not want PFUNK underwater, they wanted them to do some commercialization of the Mothership back in outerspace and it was not happening. If you read between the lines which you should always do with a PFunk album, they were about to set off Uncle Jam Records and "The Man" was not going to let this happen. They stole the late great Roger Troutman from George and they still were owed money from Westbound Records. I am pleased to have this album in my collection and love the comics--I am glad Parliament/Funkadelic stuck it to them before there was no more Parliament/Funkadelic but it was a "Stoopid" album in a good way. "Party People" was just too damn long--It was not "Flashlight", it was not "Aqua Boogie", It was NOT "UP For The Downstroke" It was just too damn long.And I still will NOT part with this album for all the funk in the world--It's Funky but it doen't stink..........
