Maggot Brain

(Westbound)
Release Date: 01/01/1978 12:00

The title track is an indelible 10-minute guitar solo: Clinton is said to have instructed Eddie Hazel to play the first half as if his mother had just died and the second as if she had just risen from the dead. Heavy with bass, keyboard and class consciousness, five sour harmony-group meditations ensue, and these generate the nine-minute “Wars of Armageddon,” Funkadelic’s most incendiary freak-out ever. And for once, all three bonus tracks are plusses.
