Scoring methodology

Scoring methodology
Tales of Kidd Funkadelic is a Funkadelic album released by Westbound Records in 1976, after the group had moved to Warner Bros. It was assembled largely from material recorded during the band's Westbound period, so it occupies an unusual place between a conventional studio album and an archival rele...
Why this score
Solid Westbound-era collection with good P-Funk material, but partly opportunistic release history lowers consensus standing.
Scoring methodology

Why this score
Solid early Cameo album with energetic funk, but limited broader acclaim and few enduring signature tracks.
Scoring methodology
