Our Take

OHIO PLAYERS' Observations In Time is like a musical time machine transporting you straight to the funky, groovy '70s. With the smooth vocals, slick guitar riffs, and hypnotic basslines, this album is a sonic journey that will have you busting out your best disco moves in no time.

From the opening track, "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow", it's clear that the Ohio Players mean business. The infectious melodies and tight rhythms will have you hooked from the get-go. But it's not just about the music - the lyrics are introspective and thought-provoking, showcasing the band's depth and maturity.

Tracks like "Good Luck Charm" and "It's All Over" showcase the versatility of the Ohio Players, seamlessly blending elements of soul, funk, and R&B to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The production, courtesy of Johnny Brantley and Vidalia Productions, is crisp and polished, allowing each instrument to shine through.

But it's not all serious business - the Ohio Players also know how to have fun. Songs like "A Little Soul Party" and "Food Stamps Y'all" are pure joy, with their infectious energy and playful lyrics. This album is a must-listen for anyone who loves good music and good vibes. Don't sleep on Observations In Time - it's a true gem that deserves a spot in your record collection.
