5.0 classic | AgainstMeAgainstYou | January 29th 12 | A soulful and beautiful album made by a beautiful human being who left us far too soon. Ranked as my favourite Marvin Gaye album, favourite album of 1971, 3rd favourite album of the 1970s, and 6th favourite album of all time.

4.0 excellent | BillyBrill | March 18th 24 | Great album, truly important art to be made, is it the best album of all time? Not really. Theres a Riot Goin On is not only an answer to this albums question, but also an answer that expands and embellishes what the question set out for.

5.0 classic | JackisJack | July 18th 23 | A phenomenal album with some of the most positive, loving lyricism in the history of music. So much soul, passion, and storytelling in each track, offering an incredible listening experience both the first time and on repeat listens. The harmonies pull you in, and the instrumentals complimenting Marvin's vocal work like nothing I've ever seen keeps you there. Delving into the history of this album, as well as Marvin Gaye as both a man and musician, will only give you more appreciation for "What's Going On", one of the best albums ever produced.

4.5 superb | Introu1 | May 22nd 21 | Instant classic, the album is insane, it flows so perfectly and i have difficulties to find what dont work on this album, its a must listen. Its been 50 years since this album came out, and i understand why its high on almost all "Best albums" lists. Its a bit too much religious for my taste, but i dont mind, because its so good 4,7/5

5.0 classic | silktree | March 26th 21 | This album is an anti-depressant for me. As I get older I listen to it less because I want
to and more because I need to. If the aliens come and take me tonight and ask me what my
species is capable of, I'm putting this LP on. If like me you know this album through and
through, listen to the "Detroit mix", it will spin your head

4.0 excellent | OmairSh | July 7th 20 | Serene. Pristine.
"Inner City Blues" is a must listen

5.0 classic | IsildursBane44 | April 8th 20 | It's crazy how socially applicable the messages on this album are to this day. I'd argue that they are more important now than ever. Truly a timeless classic, and one of the most important records ever released. Not just for soul, but for music in general.

3.5 great | kheman1317 | July 9th 19 | Most of the album is beautiful and soulful while there are still some parts which feel very average. Recommendations: What's Going On, Right On, Inner City Blues.

4.0 excellent | TRMshadow | August 23rd 12 | This is undeniably great music... it's just not music I would listen to in a million years. 4.1/5

4.5 superb | hydeyomoney | April 27th 10 | The review written about this album here states that his political stature is weak, but rather, Marvin Gaye is taking a much different approach. Instead of going all out, Malcolm X-style revolt music, he's making an approach that is more like Gandhi than anything else. His music is smooth, subtle, warm to the touch, but still gets message across effectively. This album isn't so much about it's politics neither, rather, it's a showing on Motown's musical strength, and Gaye's light vocals, lacing it.
