Moi aussi, I genuinely think it's overrated as much as I thought I was going to be blown away. I have an old Funkadelic collection on CD which would seem to indicate they got better later on, but the preceding record
Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow is superior aswell IMO.
On top of that I probably prefer the Parliament stuff overall, their early albums are deliberately more r'n'b-based but albums like
Mothership Connection and
Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome are just as concept-trippy as anything Funkadelic had to offer... Not to mention better-produced and more accomplished.
Still - you can't argue with Eddie Hazel on geetar.
