George Clinton's post-bicentennial message to those in the "Chocolate cities" was that America could be theirs too, and without any loss of their own black, regional identities. <I>One Nation Under a Groove</I> remains P-Funk's most provocative release, as well as one of the funkiest long-players released in the disco era. The band vamps on a world where people of different color play each other's songs ("Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!"), lose their inhibitions (the classic title track), and bond together with the glue of shared secrets (the wonderful "Grooveallegiance"). Standout: the slow-grooved "Into You," where a lover vows to stay true, or a patriot pledges devotion to a new flag--take your pick. You might think that a complex and moving ode to commitment is out of place on an album with such political overtones, but it's not. It's really the quiet-storm centerpiece. <I>--Don Harrison</I>

5 out of 5 stars Old School .......2007-01-10

This was good music back in the day and still is today. A MUST BUY.

5 out of 5 stars One Nation Under a Groove!!!!.......2002-04-17

One hell of an album but then again most funkadelic albums are. This is probably one of the most sampled albums of all time. From De la Soul to Ice-T they've all sampled this!!! Well worth buying.

4 out of 5 stars THE LITURGY OF P-FUNK.......2002-02-28

I love the whole P-funk culture and especially Clinton's playful and witty socio-political comment. There is nothing here as outrageously avant-garde as Parliament's spectacular "Flashlight" and in general, this album's subdued tone makes it more soul-funk than rock-funk. Besides the title track, I really love Groovallegiance with its lovely harmonies, interweaving voices, hypnotic melody and the subtle way it insinuates itself into the brain-grooves: "Let me take you by the hand/ And spread the funk across the land/ It's not hard to understand/ Heading for the master plan/ Pledge a groovallegiance to the funk/ The United Funk of Funkadelica/ Oh yea-hoo/ Dey do do do da funk/ Do da funk-de ee de dee!" Seeing this band, or preferably the whole Parliafunkadelicment-thang live, must have been a memorable experience!

5 out of 5 stars What was that long word again? Promental?.......2002-01-29

Absolutely essential P-Funk. The best Parliament album Funkadelic ever made! (Or the best Funkadelic album Parliament never made) Highlights are the title-track, Groovealliagence and Cholly, it doesn't get more funky than that. I still prefer the original Maggot Brain though.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best of It's Kind.......2001-07-10

Ironiacally, when this first came out I was not a G/C fan. I called him "Fool Master George" and preferred the likes of Blue Magic, Delfonics, etc. But since most of what passes for R&B (aside from India Arie and a few others) since them sounds so much worse, I can appreciate this better today. Unortunately, the title cut is not the long version of the song that so hard to find, but it has it's moments. The "Doo Doo Chasers", with it's (defecation) talking preacher enticing his audiece to repeat his nonsense in call and reposnse, is clearly a spoof of Jesse Jackson, but "Magggot Brain" would make James Marshall Hendrix (Jimi to you) smile from his grave.
