Our Take

Reviewed by: DJ Groovy

Ah, the Meters - the grooviest of groovy, the funkiest of funky. This Original Album Series box set is a treasure trove of classic tunes that will have you boppin’ and shakin’ all night long.

First up, we have their self-titled debut album, which kicks things off with a bang. Tracks like "Cissy Strut" and "Look-Ka Py Py" are guaranteed to get your hips moving and your head nodding. The Meters’ signature blend of funk, soul, and jazz is on full display here, and it’s a joy to behold.

Moving on to their follow-up, "Struttin’", we find the band in fine form, delivering killer grooves and infectious hooks with every track. "Chicken Strut" and "Britches" are particular highlights, showcasing the band’s impeccable musicianship and tight, cohesive sound.

Next up, we have "Look-Ka Py Py", a masterclass in funk that will have you dancing from start to finish. Tracks like "Rigor Mortis" and "Oh, Calcutta!" are funky as hell, with each member of the band shining in their own right.

"Rejuvenation" sees the Meters continuing to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. Tracks like "Just Kissed My Baby" and "Jungle Man" are a testament to the band’s creativity and versatility, showcasing their ability to blend genres and create something truly unique.

Finally, we have "Fire on the Bayou", a fiery and passionate album that showcases the band at the height of their powers. Tracks like "Can You Do Without?" and "Middle of the Road" are funky, soulful, and downright irresistible.

In conclusion, the Meters’ Original Album Series is a must-have for any fan of funk, soul, or just damn good music. So grab yourself a copy, turn up the volume, and get ready to groove like never before. Trust me, your ears will thank you.
