Unlike many of their fellow funk acts of the late 60's and early 70's The Meters never made much use of excessive soloing or wild percussion. The center of their musical universe, as well as every Meters song, is the groove. With their roots in classic New Orleans blues and R&B rather than funk, they play laid back tunes driven by vibrant drumming, muddy organ hooks and a range of minimalistic blues and surf guitar riffs. The album's tight-as-fuck opener Cissy Strut is easily the coolest groove ever written.
