Simple as it is to name an album after your band, The Commodores is the perfect title for this collection. Unlike anything else by the Commodores (except, possibly, their equally amazing Live! album), this puts every strength of the band on full display. It starts with the hard funk of the core band and ends with a perfect slide of Lionel Richie balladry. In between are brilliant moments like "Funny Feelings," "Heaven Knows," and "Funky Situation" that showcase just how great the Commodores were when they functioned as, well, a true group. Dig in and taste the sugar, the spice, and a perfect recipe that mixes both into some mouth-watering funk.
