4 out of 5 stars NASTY ENOUGH FOR KICKS!.......2007-04-06

I wouldn't reccommend this album to a casual fan of funk since this band comes off sounding like a low rent Funkadelic. But Black Nasty comes up with grooves that's so nasty and sticky, that you'll easily forget how unorginal they are. They may not have brought anything new to the table, but the first rate grooves is enough to make up for their lack of new ideas.

The fast tempo tracks is about as down, dirty, and raw as you can get with early 70's funk but, the group is lame when they try to slow it down. "Rushin Sea" is the only slow jam that reaches the level of excitement of the uptempo funk.

It's not hard to understand why this album flopped. In addtion to having a rock and soul fusion that made it a nightmare to sell to black and white audiences exclusively, the group never had a style of their own. Back in the 70's, you couldn't just chase down the latest trend of the moment and call yourself being a artist (like you could today!). You had to take the trends, personalize it, and create a style of your own. Not suprisingly this album failed under the radar.

This album is for hardcore funkateers only. Beginners should stick with the usual suspects Parliament, Funkadelic, Kool & the Gang, etc.

4 out of 5 stars very funky group tight.......2006-03-15

have'nt heard this in agres good rock funky songs influenced by funbkadelic not quite but if you like black rock from the old school get this evcery song is enjoyable.

4 out of 5 stars Really thick, gritty, early funk from Detroit.......2004-04-22

I bought this CD (as I have so many others) because of the review, lower by Mr. Eddie Landsberg, who is usually spot on in his funk recommendations, though at times I think he over-emphasizes how funky some things are...

This is a case in point, there a several burning tracks on this CD- 1, 3, 4, 5, and 10 are smokin, indeed in the style and hard thumpin attack of early Funkadelic. The guitarist definitely tries out his screaming Eddie Hazel licks (Nasty Soul could be a lost Funkadelic early track, it's psychedelic and hot in all the right ways), usually to pretty good effect... Track 7, 'I Have No Choice,' is a very sunny, souful number and calls to mind The Dramatics.

The rest of the album is strong, albeit repetitive at times (a quality that occurs in much funk music). All in all, this is No substitute for Maggot Brain or Standing on the Verge of gettin it On, but it is fairly inexpensive and delightful piece of over-looked funky goodness. It's not genius but still highly recommended.

And check out Mr. Landsberg's reviews and lists, (I emailed him once to ask some recommendations for funky harmonica CDs- he was quite helpful in that regard) if you're interested in funk and spending time on amazon, looking around... I'd never have dug on Rasputin Stash, Black Heat, Black Nasty or many other slept-on old-school funkin classics, were it not for mr. Landsberg's reviews.

4 out of 5 stars 7/8th's Scale Funk.......2002-07-15

Nuggets! There are some great sticky little gems on Talking To The People, but it's hard to dispel the notion that while in a haze of Maggot Brain induced inebriation, this shag band actually began to fantasize about becoming the next Funkadelic. Deliriously disillusioned lead guitarist Jackie Cosper(?) even attempts the Eddie Hazel mind-meld with a few stinky electrophonic licks. Sadly, the toughest tracks on this record barely surpass two or three minutes, with the same material Funkadelic could easily whip up ten minutes of grooves that would have us reduced into a funk inflected puddle of goo. Black Nasty solidly delivers the (short) nasty on the title track, "Nasty Soul", "We're Doin' Our Thing", "It's Not The World", and "Booger the Hooker". Beware! You may hurt yourself diving for the "skip" button the moment the buzz killing "I Must Be in Love", "I Have No Choice" , and "Rushin' Sea" begin to stink up the joint. Talking To The People is a cool record, though. If you want to impress your friends with your knowledge of funka-esoterica this one is tough to beat, but frankly Black Nasty is a minor league group that just happened to produce a record that almost sounds like it belongs in the majors. Now, where did I put that copy of Maggot Brain...

5 out of 5 stars Rare Early Funk.......2000-06-23

Great unique funk sound from the early 70's. If you like Funkadelic or the Ohio Players you will certainly enjoy this. Its worth the money for the title track alone. But there is so much more, interesting cross funk with blues and rocking boogie tracks. The liner notes are informative and come with a way cool picture of the band. Since there was only 5000 albums pressed you can turn your friends on to some very rare funk.

          Album Description

          Monster Platoon... the album opens with the rhythmic force of "Identical", sliding into the modern/classic rock of "Shadow Days" and "Snake the Charmer", continuing down to the final epic "You and I". The album holds your thoughts and emotions till the end.

          5 out of 5 stars Seattle Music at its Finnest.......2004-06-06

          Upon hearing the first song the listener must keep listening, until it's done. This is what the album does. The lyrics are extremely hard to decypher, however upon reading them I was blown away. Crushcoat has a way of using very heavy words to fit a very light topic, and uses descriptive words that are not typical vernacular combining them with very normal words to give a meaning that stays with you. The band has a unique sound that captivates the listener. Definatley the best track is Nine Slider, with Snake the Charmer as a close second. I don't think there is another band who has a singer that sounds like this. He can go from being a dirty rock sound (Snake the Charmer) to a melodic thought provoking one (You and I) all around a great band, an ride from the begining. I would definately recomend this album to anyone who likes a good fresh experiance to Seatlle music.
