David Mays

A certain amount of criticism has been directed at two issues concerning this album , and neither issue has anything to do with the albums intrinsic , historic value . This album has been criticized for its sound quality and sexual connotations , but the album’s strong points make these complaints infinitesimal and meaningless when it comes to the musical power and worth of this recording . It’s raw , visceral yet extraordinarily intelligent at the same time . The timing of the band members that make up The J.B.’s is nothing short of ineffable . It is not possible for a band to get tighter than this . So many cues to keep track of while slipping seamlessly from one selection to the next . The musicianship is something akin to being flawless and you can hear the work , the constant rehearsals and talent that went into these performances . All this without the listener SEEING THE SHOW and getting the full meaning of what the musical arrangements mean as presided over by by James Brown , who is electrifying the audiences with his astounding performances . THIS is what Revolution Of The Mind is really all about .
