Album Notes & Community Reviews

Welcoming the entire Bootsy Collins-led House Guests into the fold, George Clinton drastically expanded Funkadelic's sound into a massive, sprawling double album. 'America Eats Its Young' is a fiercely energetic, intensely rhythmic P-Funk classic, matching remarkably dense, highly psychedelic soul-rock arrangements with biting, deeply conscious political and sexual commentary.
