a super funky fricknic! i love bootsy collins, and i love this cd even more because an old friend decided to chime in... the deee-lovely diva, lady miss kier. :)

i think i've worn out the grooves on 'im tired of good im trying bad' and 'all star funk' - if you're a deee-lite fan, or love the funkadelliq freshness of bootsy collins, you'll love this album.

and remember... step back, don't touch the food... and nobody gets hurt.

Bootsy Collins is a Cat that just on His Playing can hang or leave alot of people in the dust.but Him as a Artist especially over the past few years leaves alot too be desired.the Song-writing is ok at best&the all Guests are ok at best.nothing really stands out but there are some tight Grooves here&there but overall Bootsy kinda going through the Motions.the Playing makes it a 3 everything else is a 1&Half too a 2&Half for me overall.

Love me some Bootsy! The tracks are funky! If you're not bobbing your head throughout the CD, you have no funky soul!

I am a serious funkateer, but as another stated, this cd leaves alot to be desired. I would describe this cd as a whole as VERY AVERAGE. Nice crisp/clean production, but with a cd cover like this one, i was kind of counting on getting a serious helping of that space bass. He does give you a few tid-bits of that filthy sound, but most of it doesn't quite get my head swirling in that electric purple galaxy of liquid funk fireballs. Nice average dance/party disc with lots of guests, but that's just it...I like STANKY FUNK which gives me that crinkled-up funk face not just mere robotic dance cuts. This is WAY more dance than funk in my opinion.

With that in mind, I would say the bomb cuts are delivered courtesy of Lady Miss Kier of deee-lite. She pimps those songs somehow (#10 and 11). Also "funky and you know it" gives me that funk face (#9) but that's really all that sticks for me.

If your checking into this, you probably have bootsy's early work from the '70s and I'm telling you that work stomps this stuff like a monster truck! HANDS DOWN!

If you want to get cracked upside your cranium with bootsy's space bass, spend your money on Bootsy's Rubber band "live in Louisville '78" or any other early studio albums of the mid-'70s!!!!!!

Hopefully Bootsy will bring that brain-bustin' bass back ALOT HARDER next time around as that is what really makes him so unique and musically interesting.

(INSERT VINTAGE BOOTSY PHRASE HERE!)

This is the best modern Bootsy album he has released. Not one song lacks creativity and the guest fit right in. I gave this album 4 stars for that fact there should be more songs!
