“A soulful, socially conscious concept album that remains timeless.”
“What’s Going On is both time-stamped and timeless: a picture of Vietnam-era turmoil that will blow minds as long as there are ears. This 40th-anniversary version lives up to its bombastic billing: two CDs and a vinyl LP, plus demos, B sides and the stripped-down version of "What’s Going On" that Motown refused to release. […]”
“The classic 1971 LP, a landmark for Gaye and pop music at large, is reissued in a deluxe package including an early mix and demos.”
“Sorry guys I don’t get the hype around this album like the number one greatest album of all time. Uhh no Songs on the key of life is 1 million times better than this it’s still a very good album with good lyrics and instrumentation. Number 1 should’ve have been Abbey Road.”
“timeless album . this is the definition of perfect . marvin went through topics like war , race , love and humanity and made it sound fun . every track flowed into the other . very critically acclaimed aswell . 10/10 album it’s genuinely incredible.”
“I can see all of the love behind this album, personally not my thing and hence not a 10 but incredibly well made. I mean, this, some Luther Vandross, and a little Anita will definitely start a party off right.”
“Woulda been higher if I actually liked jazz but still good from a jazz hater”
“10.0 without the Guiro ruining Right On. Unbelievable album.”
