just a purely great album of funk, and some of the best bass work you will ever hear.
One star loss due to too much talking and filler between songs.

I'm not sure if one would call this a side-project, or supergroup, but it's a good listen. Members are from other bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, Metallica, and Jane's Addiction among others. To my ears, this basically sounds like a funkier version of Suicidal. I'd say it's a must listen for ST fans. Call it....funk-rock. It a bass slappin', drum poundin', yelling good time. Get it if you see it, as it's out of print at the moment.

What happens when you take the bass virtuosity of Rob Trujillo (ex-Suicidal Tendencies, later joined Metallica), the vocal stylings of Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies), multiple guest drummers (including Stephen Perkins of Porno For Pyros and studio drummer Josh Freese of Vandals and A Perfect Circle fame), and even more guest guitarists and miscellaneous instrumentalists, throw them into a blender on the 'puree' setting with a gallon of funk and a few quarts of punk/metal?

You get Infectious Grooves.

It's funky, it's rocking. It makes you dance and it makes you bang your head. That's what Infectious Grooves is all about.. groovin' and rockin'.

The strongest element of the album, naturally, is the incredible bass work of one Rob Trujillo. Rob shows his true colors on this album, always laying down the solid groove and occasionally stepping outside of the pocket to display incredible work with both the left and right hands. The guest guitarists on the album are all of a high level of musicianship. The title track has an incredibly sick-sounding guitar solo that is usually only heard amongst the likes of talent such as Steve Vai or John Petrucci.

The only downfall of the album is that Mike Muir has never been what I would consider a "good vocalist". He is, however, very fitting to the Infectious Grooves sound. The songs are all humorous, both musically and lyrically. Muir does a great job of keeping you laughing, whether it is his classic funk "Hey hey hey's" or the ridiculous lyrics ("You lie.. and yo breath stank.. smells just like.. a septic tank.") The skits, may I add, are amusing the first time around but the novelty quickly wears off. I was also a bit irked that the album ended with a skit track as opposed to an actual song.

If you like funk and are open to experimentation, I highly recommend this album. Being an individual who has an undying love for both funk and metal, this album is extremely appealing to me.

I reiterate.. HIGHLY recommended.

I'll make this short and sweet: GET IT, IT'S ONLY $4.00!! Being a big fan of Suicidal at the time, I've had this since it came out in 1991. I hadn't listened to it for years, even though I knew it was really good. Well, today I resurrected it, and holy moly it's really good. Super bass funkiness, catchy hooks, addictive riffs, sing-a-long refrains...maybe that doesn't sound good but it really is! And funny too. Like I said, this is a lost gem in my collection.

Uauuuu... that's funky man! Funk with heavy riffs. Funny and mostly: groovy!!!!
In my opinion Sarssipius Ark's is better (the sound quality and mix is better).
Try to hear "Feed the monkey" or "Stop funk'n with my head". Yeah!! I like it so much!!!!!
I think all Infetious Grooves CDs are excellent. Buy them if you like funk, metal distortion & riffs and a "bass in your face" sound.
