Superfly

70s soul/funk; not for me. 5/10

Ga meg ikkje så masse

I wasn't a big fan of this album when it first came out, and I'm still not a fan.

I got bored after a while 2/5

Understated vocals, and tbh, unstated songs. There's no denying Curtis has the delivery. His falsetto lulls you in to what you think will be a sweet, innocent song. The issues addressed here are bleak. It works in the lyrics, but the songs weren't strong enough to carry it for me. Disappointing.

His other album is a little better

Gister gaf ik 5 sterren voor een funk/soul album, dus ik denk dat het algoritme me een dienst probeert te bewijzen met deze schijf van Cornald Meiveld. Dit is me iets teveel Saturday Night Fever in het getto. Het is bijna een musical en dat trek ik wat minder goed. Verder geen super vervelende muziek, maar ik heb er geen klik mee. Voor de fun ook even de trailer van de bijbehorende film bekeken, maar die film ontstijgt het niveau Bassie en Adriaan amper. Wat een armoede.

La définition du old school soul, c'est un soundtrack de film et ça parait. Pas de wow, mais des beaux sons.

Como música de fondo vale. Que en su momento sería la bomba pero me ha aburrido, lo mismo hay que escucharlo una vez en la vida pero nada más.

A good funk album. I recognized a couple of the riffs as being sampled in songs. Think instrumental samples in nobody’s perfect by j Cole.

Boring 70s wash. 2/5

boring

okkk

Kein Totalausfall, aber eher langweilig.

Great funky sound and love Mayfield’s voice but all kind of blurs into one and kind of ends up sounding samey. Ended up as background music rather than holding my attention

It’s a little unusual to be listening to a soundtrack rather than a typical album today. I’ve also never seen the film Superfly, so I’ll be listening to the music without the intended context of the movie. Songs I already knew: None Favourites: Superfly I’ll be very up front and admit from the start that I’ve had the worst day in a very long time today, and as much as I try to listen to each album without any bias, there is likely to have been some impact by this when listening today. Moving on to my thought, this album seemed fine to me but nothing outstanding. After finishing listening, there are no riffs that stuck in my head and I couldn’t actually tell you how any of the songs went. No songs sounded bad, but nothing was great either. I’m sure people that love funk might enjoy this, but it didn’t blow me away.

Mediocre.

A bit too dated, too repetitive and uninteresting. Pusherman stood out, but the rest just blends together. The 70’s porn music aesthetic is there at times, but it is only a slight amusement.

Really wanted the movin on up album. This wasn’t it.

Groovy dude

Probably one of the better choices for a soundtrack addition to the list, but it's no "Minecraft - Volume Alpha" by C418, let's be honest. "Saturday Night Fever"? Never heard of her. This is strictly a "Minecraft - Volume Alpha" household. This album seems like mostly average soul to me, sorry. Not a huge fan of soul, although I did enjoy "Give Me Your Love".

A fun experience.

Listened before? N Well, it was better than the first CM album. Still not great. Instrumentation was good. Songs added to playlist: Pusherman

this type of music has never been my style so it wasn’t my favourite. It wasn’t great and the style was just eh

This movie sound track stuff is well made and well played, but still leaves me cold.

It was alright. Nothing too too memorable about it, and not much variation from song to song. Definitely a few good songs but too few and far between to make the album worth more listens. 4/10

Chill music, might use it as relaxed background music some time. Also, I think I'd known Pusherman before, so I liked that song most.

nice!

Einzelteile teils überragend („Pusherman“); das Gros und vor allem die OST-typischen Instrumentals völlige viller. 2.4

Meh

Listened to the album, start to finish. Dreadful

Svängigt! Ingen koll på filmen men låtarna ger ändå en bild av hur settingen och stämningen är i filmen. Under låten "Freddie's dead (Theme from 'Superfly')" är det kväll, det är mörkt men gatlysen gör att det skiner upp i bilen med jämna mellanrum. Personen som sitter framför ratten kan inte hjälpa sig själv från att åka med i det goda gunget som låten medför. Bäst: "Freddie's dead (Theme from 'Superfly')"

Enjoyed it - especially’thinking’ the instrumental

2 1/2

I like the inner city sound of the record but couldn't relate to the lyrics.

No me interesa nada líricamente. Muy hijo de su época, muchos arreglos, pero para mí de mucho menor gusto que otros coetáneos. Meh. Eso sí, las líneas de bajo que van saliendo por ahí molan mucho.

Lots of soul and funk. 5/10.

Mola el estilo pero el disco no es muy allá.

I really wanna see the film now to get more context for the album. He’s a very talented vocalist, fantastic range. Fav song is ‘Freddie’s Dead’.

Again, not my jam

Not for me

i was just thinking freddie’s dead sounds like such a movie song then realised the album literally is a movie’s soundtrack think instrumental is sweet i feel so annoying cus all these albums are just gonna be rated 1 for me 😭😭😭

скукотища

Very uneven. There aren’t many soul albums that hold up all the way through and this isn’t one of them. The falsetto gets very monotonous.

Shoo fly don't bother me

no!

Here’s a thing. Whilst listening to this I clicked on the album review. As nothing musically interesting was occurring I again kept clicking on links. Lo and behold I found out that if you clicked on the star distribution chart it changed to give the total percentages of 1001’s votes against each star. Amazing unlike this album. I therefore join the 2% giving this album 1 star. 1/5 30/12/25

Boring

Entspannte Mukke. Nicht mein Fall

Fine background music, but too unstructured for my tastes. Superfly was the only almost banger.

Not for me.

1972... probably fighting with my brother. Fucking pissed off with my parents. Can't wait to grow up a bit more and get the fuck out a trauma ridden, neglected household. Fuck the lot of them. Saving my own fucking soul is about as close I came to any fucking soul.

Dont touch my soul

I really don't like the vocals. Overall, this is too samey and repetitive. Nope, not for me.

Maybe the film was superfly but this album was superlame

Couldn’t listen to it

Funky

Can't be bothered with soundtrack albums. Also not my favourite genre.

Doesn't make sense to listen to in it's own. Was a movie score for a reason.

Not for me

Awful. If I had seen the movie it may have been better. Seems to be about a black man selling drugs? Lame. Not sure what the rationale is for placing this on the list. Certainly could have died happily without hearing it.

Meh.

Better than the Temptations but still not really hitting it for me. Very 70s

Boring, 2/10

Hated it

Ok

Not for me

Nope

why are we still here? just to suffer?

Un autre soundtrack…Pas super bon. J’imagine que c’est ce qui a popularisé l’artiste. Je n’aime pas le mix, particulièrement le traitement de la voix. Freddie’s Dead groove pas pire par contre. Donc pour moi, le seul intérêt de cet album est pour la pièce Superfly qui m’est mieux connue comme étant un sampling utilisé dans la pièce Egg Man des Beastie Boys sur Paul’s Boutique.

I was extremely bored.

Pish.
