Billboard Hot 100 - #22, 1974 - Machine Gun
"The first side is good straight hard funk, kicked off by a title instrumental that's the best thing on the record ... sure sign of a good straight hard funk band. B+."
- Robert Christgau
The album that introduced The Commodores to the world in 1974 showcases a sound rooted in funk and soul; Lionel Richie's ballads and adult contemporary hits would come later on. The instrumental title track, a top 25 hit single, sets the tone for this collection of R&B and hard funk that critics have called "gritty" and "sweaty."
