Although the Ohio Players are best known for their smash-hit albums of the 1970s, "Graduation" has great potential! This album will cause anyone to reflect back on their high school years, be them good or bad! Yes, this album is a true collector's item! Tracks like "Follow Me" and "All Night" highlight the uptempo flavor of the album, while tracks like "Now Is The Time" and "Sight For Sore Eyes" provide inspiration and comfort. I took off a star because the album seems to lack that "original" Ohio Player sound. Overall, this 1984 effort by the pioneers of funk is exceptional. It will make you dance, cry, and most of all, it will bring back memories of your high school years. I strongly recommend this album to any lovers of R&B and soul music. You won't be disappointed!
The first two tracks are about as strong as this album gets. This was recorded and released in that time of strangeness for funk music. It was transitioning and didn't quite grab like it once did. I would only recommend this to someone collecting OP records but would not to someone looking for the "funk" that happened to be just starting their path.
