Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Funkadelic was George Clinton's chance to get serious. Unlike Parliament, Funkadelic exhibited topical lyrics and an almost heavy-metal edge, one that included screeching, distorted guitar and unsettling musical turns. This 1971 album, Funkadelic's second release, catches the ensemble in its early prime. The Hendrix-inspired dramatics come courtesy of Eddie Hazel, while Bernie Worrell admirably handles the keyboard chores. Clinton's humorous, sober lyrics address poverty, race relations, and drug use. Musically, the band covers lots of ground: Everything from smooth soul and heavy rock to abstract psychedelia and straight-on funky grooves has a place, and these jarring shifts are what make the album a revolutionary work. --Marc Greilsamer

Amazing Guitar Work.......2007-02-02

I didn't realy know what to expect when I first heard this album in the early 70's. What realy surprized me was the Guitar solos. The best lead riff on this album can be heard on a number called Super Stupid. It's a gem. I must have replayed this song a million times just to hear that lead riff. This album contains a lot of heart and a whole lotta soul. Eddie Hazel is amazing.

Funkadelics Maggot Brain is a CLASSIC.......2007-01-11

George Clinton's crew.WOW!! Black-funk-soul rock!!! Guitar solos with funk-filled soul!!! Funkadelic was the REAL FUNK before any generation could lay claim to it!!! Now that's the truth!

Interpsychestellar funk........2006-01-29

If Hawkwind had listened to nothing but Herbie Hancock's Blue Note records, then I have a hunch that they would've sounded like Funkadelic or like Miles Davis, ca. 1975. Either way, they would have been just as good -- only much, much different. But the differences between heavy Funkadelic and electric Miles are not that many or that great. The point is that Funkadelic cherry-picks elements from rock, funk, jazz, heavy metal, and space rock, and they do so very, very well. Unlike records that simply sample a diverse number of styles or genres, this record seemlessly combines, mixes, and matches those genres. The end result is a wonder to behold, and so this record should appeal to many people with different musical tastes. If the Jimi Hendrix Experience had covered CAN, then they would have sounded like this. Soul music meets Krautrock. While that may sound contrived, it's not so difficult to imagine how sensuous would be just such a sound.

An Ambitious, Classic Release.......2007-03-18

There are few bands who would take the creative chances like Funkadelic did on its 1971 album. The band's second release highlights guitarist Eddie Hazel in songs that are more avant-garde and heavy-metal in nature, with doses of psychedelia and funky grooves.

Hazel's searing work on Maggot Brain is brilliant and arguably the finest solo put down in the studio during that guitar-laden decade in rock, with Back in Our Minds & Super Stupid equally outstanding.

Wars of Armageddon is one fine politically-charged song, while You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks, takes aim at racism in that George Clinton kind of way. The themes in both songs unfortunately resonate as strongly in news stories today as they did in the 1970s.

Can You Get to That is the gateway to the R&B and gospel influences that will mostly dominate future releases, while Bernie Worrell's keyboards drive Hit It and Quit It.

What was setting the stage for the P Funk mythology - through the freedom of funk and Mother Earth - became one of the more influential releases for metal, punk and the rock/avant-garde movement led by Brian Eno & Robert Fripp (Frippertronics).

It may not be Funkadelic at its funkiest, but it is the band stretching the boundaries of sound in one amazing album.

"I have tasted the maggots of the human mind/I was not offended/for I knew that I must rise up/or else drown in my own sh*t"........2007-01-13

Okay, WTF? Seriously though, that has got to be the coolest opening line in history. And it opens arguably the coolest guitar solo in history. For ten minutes, Eddie Hazel blows Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Santana, Jimmy Page, and every other guitar hero you've had off the map. He also puts stooges like Joe Walsh and Ritchie Blackmore in their places. He gets rage, joy, tenderness, sadness, and much more outta that thing... damn...
1. Maggot Brain: 1000000/10. Have I mentined it's the best guitar solo EVER?
2. Can You Get to That: 10/10. Always liked this number, a catchy little soulful thing with great harmonies.
3. Hit It and Quit It: 10/10. Eddie Hazel strikes back, adding in ashort-but-sweet guitar solo. Good song otherwise.
4. You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks: 10/10. George Clinton's Everyday People, a statement on racism made in the way only he could make.
5. Super Stupid: 8/10. The lyrics need a bit of work, but Hazel rocks out.
6. Back in Our Minds: 6.5/10. Good message, but only an average song.
7. Wars of Armageddon: ...okay then/10. A ten minute freakout a la Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow. It's weird, all right, but a good type of weird.

They Set The Tone!.......2006-09-07

Parliament/Funkadelic set the tone with this album. I did not hear it until my adult years and This by far is a great CD.

If you have an ear to ear, you know that "Mother Earth" has been used and humanity is the one that "stuck it to her" and then left her. Parliament/Funkadelic was and still is very deep! The music alone sets you in a groove that you have to experience for yourself! They let you know in "Can You Get To That" what is what in that day and time and in some respects, still applies.Enough of the psyco mumbo jumbo, this album is hot!! This set the tone for what was to come next. Eddie Hazel is magnificent on Maggot Brain and as far as I am concerned Jimi could have learned a thing or two from Eddie! These two styles are not such a comparison as many people write---Eddie, Tawl, Billy and Tiki were in a class all by themselves not to mention Bernie "Da Vincci" Worrell--The Woo-Man himself took music to another level. "So sit back and dig while they do it to your earhole"......

dark... very dark.......2006-05-23

this album is great. if you like heavy rock, psychedelic music, thought provoking lyrics, musical diversity, george clinton, and craziness... go get this cd! oh yeah... the song Wars of Armageddon rules. it has more sound effects than a spike jones compilation.

All hail to the President (George Clinton) of the United Maggots of Funkadelica!.......2006-05-20

I am telling you this now: BUY THIS FREAKIN' CD!!!! The title track is worth the purchasing of the whole thing. With George Clinton's acid-fried visions of the future year 2035 and Eddie Hazel's mind-blowing guitar work your in for one hell of a ride on the plane of psychedelic audiovisions. Funkadelic has changed my perspective on life and will probably change yours if really get what they are saying. Required for any and every hardcore rocker!

Maggot Brain Theory.......2005-04-29

Okay everybody out of 4 EPs this one sounds the best. He had a decent producer on this one. The best songs on here are "Traces of my blood type" and "I know you hate me".

classic ep.......2004-06-21

classic ep, eshams best ep along with helterskkkelter. all the songs are the best songs but my favorite would be maggot brain theory, just a classic song with awesome beat, reminds me of a circus show when i hear that for some reason, anyway, any esham/natas/RLP fan MUST own this along with every other esham/natas cd.

Esham in 94.......2002-08-25

This is an old school esham cd. I personally like this cd. Although, it came out a few months before Closed Casket, so it has a Closed Casket feel to it!

BEST EP FROM ESHAM, SO FAR! I JUST PICKED IT UP WITHIN THE HOUR, AND JUST GOT DONE LISTENING 2 IT. STOP DIGGIN ON DA D-L IS ALSO ON CLOSED CASKET (THE MOST POPULAR LP FROM ESHAM). THE BEST TRACK IS MAGGOT BRAIN THEORY- FRESH BEAT.

What a prequel.......1999-07-24

This album came out right before closed casket, and it really gets you in the mood.Comin' out a coma will make you see shxt you never thought existed and drive you to the brink. Once again, ESHAM comes out kickin'.
