And boy did it rock!!! Between "The Isley's" and "Parliament Funkadelic", they changed the way an "R&B" record was supposed to sound.This record was particularly smart because the first side had 3 pure smokers, especially the title track and call to action and Ultimate Crown Jewel, "Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2)".Power and grit at the same time!!!! The message was so powerful, that the group felt like they had to describe the situation as a bunch of "B.S."!!!!!! The bumpin' title track (2nd Crown Jewel), has an infectious "Wah-Whah" type Keyboard driven melody (courtesy of "Chris Jasper"), with "Marvin" tearing up the Bass (and probably breaking strings), and "Ernie" doing his usual Guitar Shredding.The 3rd Crown Jewel, "Hope You Feel Better Love (Part 1 & 2)", is a two fold joint.It starts out with a sweet melody, than breaks down into an "Inferno Funk" jam (both surrounded by "Ronald's" unmistakable Vocals).Then there is side 2 to help you cool down with 3 just as powerful ballads.
Album Revolution #6: "The Heat" was "On", and this album straight up smoked on every turntable that played it!!! By this time "The Isley's" perfected that blend of "Soul", "Funk" and "Rock".
