Great party music! They got it right this time.
Customer Rating: 
Stumbled upon this group, in particular this CD, tunneling through Amazon's nested referrals to alternative top 40 funk. This is one to get.
Unfortunately the rest of their work does sound like the kind of generic sounding funk music you would've heard provided as ambience walking into a Chicago bar or off road night club back in the '70's.
What Happened To Television changes that up considerably and creates a more distinctively upbeat almost quirky, fresh and unique sound to this style of music. The vocals and melody structure included on this album is what sets this CD apart from the rest of their work. How Glad I Am seems like a trippy retro, almost tongue in cheek homage to '70's local truck stop AM radio by way of CW McCall. And the scratchy James Brown and party style Sly and the Family Stone vocals makes you want to just get down and shake your booty.
I would say this album has quite a few hits that would improve upon current musical tastes and styles provided on today's top 40 and even give 'em run for their money if they would just play it over broadcast radio. Not going to hold my breath on that ever happening which is why I seek out new music with some originality here at Amazon.
This is definitely a keeper. I only hope and wish their next album has the same unique and quirky sound as this one because this is the only one I'm going to buy from them so far.
