A fulfilling work that shows the funk band's maturity
A masterpiece that fuses groove and melody at a high level.
The band's cohesiveness is at its peak, with a tight rhythm section and impressive horn arrangements. While retaining the essence of funk, the album embraces a more pop and accessible approach. The production is also sophisticated, making this album a classic example of 80s funk.
