" I waver back and forth over which album is my favorite by Parliament, this one and MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION are so absolutely brilliant! I loved all their others from the decade of the 1970's but these 2 stand out as the "Cream of the Crop" in my humble opinion. One of the primary reasons are the storylines, George Clinton was an absolute master at taking things and packaging them in ways that captured the imagination! They were also one of the first bands to have the colorful inside album jacket artwork and storylines in comic form thanks to the talents of Overton Loyd.

This album's overall theme is based upon a battle between the might "Starchild" & his newly introduced nemises, "Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk" who was in direct disobedience to the orders of the great "Dr. Funkenstein" to spread the glories of Funk across the "Chocolate Milky Way" Galaxy! The story line is so classic and filled with some of the most incredible imagery you'll ever come across! The late, great Glenn Goins vocals on the opening track "Bop Gun (Endangered Species) still gives me chills to this day!

Every song on this LP is a stone, cold Funk Classic! "Starchild" is at his all time best as the "Defender of the Pleasure Principle!" This album is one of my all time favorites across musical genre's and one that shows off the incredible lineup that George had assembled up to that point, although, sadly, some would leave during and after the recording of this album. This would include Glenn Goins who would succumb to Hodgkin's lymphoma on July 29th, 1978, RIP Brother.

This album album, along with all their albums released from 1974 to 1980, as said in a previous review, have been studied, copied, and down right ripped off since their inceptions. They were game changers in everyway as was this band, it was a fabulous time musically and "Starchild", "Lollipop Man", "Sir Nose", "Dr. Funkenstein", "Brides of Funkenstein", etc. were all MAJOR reasons why!
