The 1971 debut album from War, one of the all time underrated bands. This was recorded right after Eric Burdon left and basically picks up where Sly & the Family Stone left off. Th ey don't get the credit because they came to prominence right on the heels of other landmark albums in the funk/soul genre. The playing is smooth and refined, which is impressive considering how new the genre was back then. The energy is more of a controlled burn rather than a straight out assault which helps this album to stand out from its contemporaries.
