 Progressive Ears Album Reviews
Groups like Living Colour, Primus, Fishbone, Material, Public Image Limited to name a few had revered this album onto acrophobe-like status, in which years after its release posthumously was given its due as not only for it influence on Jazz-rock and Funk-rock bands, On The Corner is now considered a work of genius.
Although the album is listed for having eight songs, in actuality is really two side long jams, which is two complex to pass for your normal Funkadelic/Parliment/Earth Wind & Fire funk band and too lacking in improvisation to have been taken serious by Jazz fans.
Many of the Jazz rock albums of the Seventies have not aged well, some due to their pretensions, others to poor engineering, but On The Corner sounds just as great now as it did when it was first released back in 1972.
