Original WB 2001 Autographed by the master mind George Clinton 1971 was a very important year for Funkadelic, the year that they recorded their earliest masterpiece albums: "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow" and "Maggot Brain". "Free Your Mind" stands out as one of the most psychadelic albums known to man, a nonstop freakout festival that you'd swear was a bad trip. Many bands suffer from "Sophomore Syndrome", producing a mediocre second album: Funkadelic avoided this mishap and produced a masterpiece that improved on its first album. Naturally, with this album's title, it makes perfect sense that the album was recorded entirely while the band was tripping on acid (George Clinton's idea). A very experimental record, "Free Your Mind" was FAR ahead of its time, using immense amounts of feedback and electric effects. What the title means is subject to MUCH interpretation, but I prefer the concept that by opening yourself up to new ideas (in this case wild, funky music) you will reap the benefits. Funkadelic in this case meant dancing (with this album, moreso moshing) like there was no tomorrow. Many complain that this album has a very rough, harsh sound to it; this actually is the point of the experimentation, to see what extreme feedback could do for the band's sounds. Needless to say, the feedback was a complete success, producing some sublime works of music.
