Product Description

From Amazon.com
Chic's third album finds the band working at full power on "Good Times," a disco anthem with touches of wistfulness and a hint of mortality. As always, the rhythm section's interplay is tight and inventive, while songs such as "My Forbidden Lover" and "Can't Stand to Love You" further stretch the perimeters of the Chic style and its emotional possibilities. --Rickey Wright

CD Description
They made two great albums, yet for some reason this one comes out on top over C'est Chic. They represented the pinnacle of late 70s disco music, with a brand of slick soul that was made for the dance floor. Nile Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards were the Babyfaces of their day. Their compositions, record production and sparing musicianship (guitar and bass, respectively) made Chic such a classy unit. Hard to imagine listening to this in a normal home environment as the fantasy of white suits and exotic cocktails is just too much to bear. 90s urban R&B owes everything to Chic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Risque Business, 5 Aug 2007
By Mr. B. A. D. Plowman "Brendan" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
To listen to Chic is to experience MAGIC, quite frankly. Just check out the evidence:-

Exhibit A - "Good Times" - An iconic tune that needs no introduction. Marvel to the outrageously funky bouncing bassline and seductive guitar licks. The best album opener of all time? Quite possibly.

Exhibit B - "Warm Summer Night" - Featuring a sultry whispered vocal and delicate orchestration. Delightful.

Exhibit C - "My Feet Keep Dancing" - This one's a winner, with it's swirling electric piano motif and audacious TAP-DANCING solo!

Exhibit D - "My Forbidden Lover" - A melancholy disco classic that is every bit the equal of Sister Sledge's mellifluous masterpiece "Thinking of You". The chord sequence on this one is unsurpassable.

Exhibit E - "Can't Stand to Love You" - This features a highly infectious choppy guitar line from SIX STRING SCIENTIST Nile Rogers.

Exhibit F - "Will You Cry(When You Hear This Song)" - A ballad so beautiful that the answer to the song's questioning title could only be a resounding: "YES".

Exhibit G - "What About Me" - A sublime closing track that glides along on sweeping strings, tremoring guitar and a delicious piano groove.

And so...THE VERDICT?

Chic - You have been found guilty of creating bafflingly wonderful music. Music that effortlessly spreads joy amongst its listeners. Music that makes your feet move and your heart groove. You have been found guilty of being uniformly excellent with a universal appeal!

You are hereby sentenced to spend the rest of your days being tagged as "The Beatles of Disco". Yes, you really are THAT GOOD!

Court dismissed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chic=Class, 11 Oct 2007
By AK Wise "Ernie" (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It strange how you look at an album an profess shock that it has only 7 songs, but that was the norm back then. There is not a bad song listed here! "Good times", optomistic, chunky floor filler that everybody knows. "A warm summer night", a beautiful love ballad with few words, takes you to a feeling of deep love, passion & tenderness. I only wish it was longer... much longer. God, I love that tune! My feet keep dancing was a chunky-funky non-hit, but great lyrics, and as a 15 year-old, I could identify with the sentiment. My forbidden lover...so true to me now! Always has been a favourite of mine. "Can't stand to love you" is probably, in my view, the weakest song on the album, but still good. "Will you cry"... you can feel the pain of this song... the emotion of this song is raw! And, finaly, "what about me", Ouch! If this song rings a chord, then you need to polish-up-your-act! Magical CD.

The singles are great and the album tracks not bad. However Chic had a habit of stretching 3 minute songs through repetition on C'est Chic and they do the same here, hence lose a star.
