Free Music Review: The Jacksons' Takin' Over!
Hit: 5 Stars
Pop chart statistics may mislead you otherwise but,in terms of The Jacksons' early years at Epic this has to be their more consistant and enjoyable album.Wheras some of the production on The Jacksons is somewhat by-the-numbers Philly soul and is also recorded rather flat this album is mixed up a lot hotter and,while still deeply ingrained in the Philly sound the grooves,rhythms and sense of funk are much strong emphasized.So this second Epic album is a lot more punchy,aggresive and uptempo than the debut.I didn't realize until recently that "Music's Takin' Over" was really huge in New York during this time that is,according to an interview with Chuck D of Public Enemy my friend in Oakland heard.And I can see how it would be a huge funk monster because the guitar and bass riffs are MEAN and Mikes voice has a lot of strengh on the song.The title song is the only tune here that doesn't really represent anything entirely new for the group and kind of sounds just a little behind the times."Diff'rent Kind Of Lady" is one of two (again) self written songs and is another incredible groove that has this great sense of tension in the rhythm and a tad of vocorder in the end."Even Though Your Gone" and "Find Me A Girl" are more glossy Philly ballads than the kind heard on the debut and actually serve as good selling points for this album.There are a couple more great uptempo tunes in the heavily,percussive bounce of "Jump For Joy"-one of the most genuinely "positive thinking" type songs I've heard and the happily funky orientation of the music really delivers on the promise.There are some excellent celebratory synthesizer squiggles at the conclusion of the song that help to bring it even more to life."Do What You Wanna",another self written tune has a really crisp Philly jump to it and..is yet another positive attitude kind of song.Michael singing "Don't be phony just be for real" may seem slightly awkward now but at least then I could sense he believed it even for himself. The pointed anti war ballad "Man Of War" points to the Jacksons' future utopian vision of unity over conflict. This more than any other Jacksons album from the mid/late 70's really pointed the most to an individual musical and conceptual direction for the brothers.And even though this is still a very much ignored part of their recorded legacy that should at least be taken into consideration.
