Customer Reviews

War slip into the introverted darkness

Never has an LP appealed to such a wide range of music lovers. War's 1971 release (their second offering in the post-Burdon era) "All Day Music" delivers the goods and then some. From the summer haze beginings of the title track to the dark isolation of the hit single "Slippin Into Darkness". "All Day Music" never fails to hold on to your attention. You become engulfed by its unsuspecting power.

Any metal clad rocker would have tipped his hat to Howard Scott's guitar riffs in "Nappy Head" (which was supposed to make an appearance in the film "Ghetto Man", but was never released), a moving, chilling score that will garner many repeat plays. "Nappy Head" is the formula to any night out and about town in your V8. War even close out the set with the live stomper "Baby Brother" (which would later turn up in the studio on 1973's "Deliver The Word" and released as a single).

"All Day Music" turned into the soundtrack to anyones daily routine. Some will argue that this wasn't as powerful as "The World Is A Ghetto" or as commercial as "Why Can't We Be Friends?". Make no mistake, this is War in top form musically and lyrically. A must have among all music lovers of the post-modern era and perhaps War's strongest recording ever. Yes, even stronger than anything the band did with Eric Burdon. This is classic War.

the root of jam music
WAR is a great band, few would dispute that. But most know them only for such pop classics as "Why Can't We Be Friends?" and "Low Rider". What they don't realize is that WAR is a funk/jam/garage band, and this album is exactly that. If you like to boogy-down, or you like that good ol' music that makes you feel it down in your soul, then this cd is for you. If you just want something to tickle your ears, go look somewhere else. In my opinion, this is the best album of funk/jam music ever!

Summertime classic
Eric Burton had no idea what would happen when he left war. What happened was that War became The band of the early 70's. All day music was playing in the park all summer that year and the song perfectly describes War. Tight harmonies, great musicians, and lyrics that paint beautiful pictures. Ya had to be there, like I was. However, their music still stands the test of time. That's What Love Will Do, There Must Be A Reason, and Slippin' Into Darkness could of each been singles, as they are all great jamss.
A fabulous group with a distinctive fusion of soul, rock, blues, funk and jazz. Couldnt ask for anymore from anygroup at anytime.
