Of course you wouldn't, but here, like on Rolling Metal, you never explain why or even feebly expand the point.
For one I don't think Funkadelic's hard rock was feeble at all.
It was. It has very little thud. No concussion on Standing On the Verge as far as I can tell. And, unfortunately, there were a number of other popular Hendrix-like men who made things lots lots better than "Alice In My Fantasies," "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts," and "Maggot Brain." Jim McCarty comes to mind. Trower sticks out like a sore thumb.
aying Deep Purple are funkier than an album containing the likes of "Red Hot Mama" and "Sexy Ways' just seems provocative.
Well sure it is. But Come Taste the Band, for practical purposes, was Deep Purple's funk record -- Bolin's on it -- and its hard rock rocks harder than the stuff I heard that was alleged to on Verge. What made me move Verge quickly off to the side piles was that it sounded half-assed and silly in a dopesmokers-took-over way. Were they fans of Cheech 'n' Chong?
So disagree. First time that's happened in the last five minutes. Black/white; red/green; oil/water; ja!/nein! It's the stuff Rolling Metal is grown on.
Fans of fucking interminable '70s rock guitar solos may like this better than I do.
Boy, that's me sometimes. These thumbnail reviews are great.

the record buying public sure didn't - but reportedly Miles Davis and numerous other luminaries of the day were quite taken with it. I think the album's hugely underrated... (and xpost but I'm not gonna bother arguing with chuck and George, a real lost cause there)
Madhouse album is fun, I just got that recently. Recorded in something like two days, apparently!
