I didn't say it's so bad, indeed, only I don't get why it's so acclaimed.
Sure I'll listen to them. :)
Yeah, getting into Arcade Fire with Reflektor is like getting into Radiohead with King Of Limbs. It's hyped as fuck but nowhere near the brilliance of their earlier albums.
First listen. Sly really has a unique way of doing funk. I'd call it minimalistic for lack of a better word, but I do think it's defined by an apparent unspectacularity (is that a word?) compared to acts like, say, Mayfield, Wonder or Baby Huey. There's something quiet and restrained about his music, there aren't huge horns, and big choruses, and shiny guitars making chikinchikin, and walls of percussion. It took me a lot of time to get into Riot, I'm still not too huge on Stand!, and this is no exception. I'm enjoying it, but it feels like it needs repeated listens to reveal itself. But yeah, one of the most interesting artists from the early 70s for sure.
