A wonderful album from Sly and The Family Stone – moving way past the straight funk approach of earlier records, into a complicated crossover soul style that’s filled with warmth and righteousness! Despite the political tone implied by the riot in the title and the co-option of the American flag on the cover, the album’s strongest suit is its warmth and personal soul message – sometimes filled with politics, sure, but always sounding like a sexy love song, no matter how hard it tries to get righteous! . It’s both of these things, of course, but pigeonholing it as either winds up dismissing the album as a whole, since it is so bloody hard to categorize.

Sly and the Family Stone's "There's a Riot Goin on" is, in my opinion, one of the greatest funk records of all time. I never tire of listening to it and each time I do, I marvel at Sly's genius and his ability as a musician. This album has a famously muddy sound. I've heard several theories as to why, most seem to center around Sly Stone's increasing drug use at the time this album was recorded. However, the dark quality of the production fits the music and never affected my opinion of the album. I was not alive when this was released in the early seventies, but I can imagine the shock that listeners must have experienced upon absorbing this release as a whole.

As Page told Rolling Stone, "On the second LP, you can hear the real group identity coming together," by which he meant the unified might of his own white-blues devilry, John Bonham's hands-of-God drumming, Robert Plant's misty-mountain howl and John Paul Jones' firm bass and keyboard colors.

It's both of these things, of course, but pigeonholing it as either winds up dismissing the album as a whole, since it is so bloody hard to categorize.
