Marvin Gaye is a great singer with a voice rich, sweet, sensuous. This album was the center of 70's in concept: ecology, war, human rights, hope in world.... but today, stands by lustful sound and, of course, the voice ¡what voice!

I agree with telefunker on this one. It's not good unless you actually listen to it conciously. It's been hard for me to get into it, because I put it on and bring my attention elsewhere. It's not really attention grabbing either. It was produced well however.

Amazing album start to finish. No filler, whatsoever telefunker. It's a prime example of an album with no filler - just a one-of-a-kind groove that maintains strong through 9 thematically-related songs. Even the title is genius - What's Going On - question, or answer? Inner City Blues is untouchable.

Inner City Blues is great in summer.

Yeah, you kinda have to pay attention to this album - I didn't enjoy it too much for a long time, it's so...different - but the sounds are magical - it's kinda like an R&B/Soul version of Pet Sounds.

yeah, i suppose it's not too bad when you listen to it consciously.. i love the strings, bells and reverb, it's just it washes over me if i don't pay it any attention and even gets annoying.. "inner city blues" is a song i actually quite like, but shouldn't be my 2nd favourite on a great album..

Okay, I've never really liked that song. My favorite is Flyin' High.
