Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On


Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On" (1974) -

RATING: 4.2 out of 5


Ah, Yes. Where Funk and Rock are equally fused into one. George and the Funkadelic gang shelve out quite a unique album. After being behind the shadows for a little while, Eddie Hazel shines on this album as a true genius. Songs like "Red Hot Mama", "Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On", and "Alice In My Fantasies" showcase Hazel's talents to the maximum. The whole album in general really showcases Eddie and his writing abilities. He co wrote all of the tracks. At times, he has many great guitar moments equal to Hendrix and he is what makes this album such a classic. This is certainly the hardest Funkadelic album to date next to "Hardcore Jollies", and the band shows what really happens when a funk band plays rock music.

1. Red Hot Mama
2. Alice In My Fantasies
3. I'll Stay
4. Sexy Ways
5. Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On
6. Jimmy's Got A Little Bitch In Him
7. Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts
8. Vital Juices (Bonus Tracks on Current Reissues)

NOTE: Vital Juices is just Red Hot Mama Part II. Eddie goes off into a blazing solo, why they made it two songs is unknown to me!
