The two hundred seventh album: #207 Sly & The Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On

I've not always loved the funk songs we've covered for the songs list, not in the least because you get these long, repetitive sections with not much going on. While this isn't quite fully funk yet, it's hard not to feel like this album drags on just as much, not justifying its 47 minute runtime. There are moments where it feels there could be something there, but I don't think the album pulls off what it tries to achieve and it gets worse, rather than better, as a result of that.
