AshtrayHeart
One of the masterpiece albums by the lengadry James Brown, The Payback is an essential funk album for any record collection, a classic album in general. Funky guitars, gritty polish production, drums on the one, and almost every jam settling around 10 minutes long and lots of hip hops DNA is here. The album is insanely consistent and is easily James's best album Perhaps not recommended for the casual soul listener, this is a collection of extended jams, there's even parts on the album that remind me of Fela Kuti the funk(or just the sound in general) here is what I'd describe as "deep" or "thick" if that makes sense. James's vocal performance here is amazing as well even his grunts are powerful everything here just has this carisma to it. Words can't describe how good this album is reading reviews doesn't do it justice, what are you waiting for listen to this!!
