Our Take

Release Date: May 9, 1975

Rating: 8.5

The Ohio Players are back with their latest album, "Honeycontradiction," and let me tell you, there's nothing contradictory about the pure funk goodness on this record. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where the horn section never quits and the bassline is so infectious, you'll find it hard to sit still.

Lead singer Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner's vocals are as smooth as ever, effortlessly gliding over the groovy rhythms laid down by the rest of the band. Tracks like "Love Rollercoaster" and "Sweet Sticky Thing" are guaranteed to get you moving, while slower jams like "Alone" showcase the Ohio Players' softer side.

The production on "Honeycontradiction" is top-notch, with every instrument shining through in the mix. The guitar solos are blistering, the drums are tight, and the keyboard accents add just the right amount of spice to each track.

Overall, "Honeycontradiction" is a solid addition to the Ohio Players' discography. While it may not break any new ground, sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned funk record to get you grooving. So grab your platform shoes and polyester shirts, and let the Ohio Players take you on a musical journey back to the heyday of funk.
