Grand Funk Railroad: E Pluribus Funk (Capitol)
Greg Shaw, Phonograph Record, 1 January 1972
It's time to admit we were wrong about Grand Funk. Oh, we were right too, but wrong just the same. Those three or four (I forget, having long since given them away) albums that came before Survival were pretty bad, there's no question of that. But we should have recognized that this band had that special something, that original sound everybody tries for. The thing was, they just hadn't perfected it yet, or learned to employ it to maximum advantage.
