Stand! is the pinnacle of Sly & the Family Stones early work, a record that
represents a culmination of the groups musical vision and accomplishment. Life
hinted at this records boundless enthusiasm and blurred stylistic boundaries,
yet everything simply gels here, resulting in no separation between the
astounding funk, effervescent irresistible melodies, psychedelicized guitars,
and deep rhythms. Add to this a sharpened sense of pop songcraft, elastic band
interplay, and a flowering of Slys social consciousness, and the result is
utterly stunning. Yes, the jams (Dont Call Me Nigger, Whitey, Sex Machine) wind
up meandering ever so slightly, but theyre surrounded by utter brilliance, from
the rousing call to arms of Stand! to the unification anthem Everyday People to
the unstoppable I Want to Take You Higher. All of it sounds like the Family
Stone, thanks not just to the communal lead vocals but to the brilliant
interplay, but each track is distinct, emphasizing a different side of their
musical personality. As a result, Stand! winds up infectious and informative,
invigorating and thought-provoking -- stimulating in every sense of the word.
Few records of its time touched it, and Sly topped it only by offering its
opposite the next time out.
