New Bootsy album 2025 - Album of the Year

[OooBooBeeDoop]

This record has some seriously funky energy flowing all through it. Its blowing me out. It’s better than his last record and hits me more like a Worldwide Funk part 2.

Thanks for the heads up! I downloaded it tonight to get a listen and I’m happy to see I can now order a CD.

Dang I got the vinyl but can’t bring myself to break the shrink wrap on it. It’s just so pristine looking and all lol.

Did you open it? I usually remove the shrink wrap as soon as possible (but sometimes keep the hype sticker). The inside of the gatefold looks pretty nice.

[OooBooBeeDoop]

Nah, I still got World Wide Funk in the wrap too. Been listening to the digital version but want the liner notes now. I don’t know why I do this. This album is on another sonic level.

[silentboatman]

Do you want the liner notes to World Wide Funk or Album Of The Year?

[OooBooBeeDoop]

Both if you’ve got em but especially Album of the Year. Man this is Bootsy’s best work in years.

[silentboatman]

I’m away right now, but will be back next week. I’ll post them then.

[OooBooBeeDoop]

Thanks so much I just can’t do it.

On Tidal there’s a little animation on the album cover, where the mothership flies in and Zapps the theatre before flying away.

I love silly little things like that.

I may have mentioned previously - forgive me - but Myra Washington’s vocals are . Especially the title track.

This might actually be the album of the year. At least I can’t think of anything better at the moment.

I had a quick check: I don’t know who any of the bands/people the internet has suggested are, so unless there’s a Parliament/Funkadelic album nigh, I’m gonna nail my colours to the mast.

[silentboatman]

Checked Spotify, it got the animation as well.

Pretty solid release. Love Fred on the JB’s Tribute track. But I would’ve put the image from the inside of the gatefold on the cover.

I really like that I Am Ai track . Actually, I wish Tobe ‘Tobotius’ and Bootsy would make an album together (where Tobe isn’t just the engineer).

@OooBooBeeDoop. There’s not a lot of liner notes, just some thank yous and credits. But here’s some pictures anyways. I noticed that there’s no writing or publishing credits. I don’t care that much about that stuff, but it’s a bit unusual.

I also noted that the label is almost the same as that Boot-Legged-Bootsy cd from 2008.

Ah man you’re the greatest!!
