Reception[edit]
Cub Koda of AllMusic said of the album and the band: 'The second album by The Meters continues the sound that made them New Orleans legends.'[2] Ted Drozdowski of Rolling Stone characterized the album's sound as 'clear, unhurried and certain'. He characterized the guitar sound as 'brief, precise', the organ sound as 'free of the rhythm', the bass sound as 'fat, saw-tooth grooves', and the drum sound as 'dry and up front'.[3] In ranking the album for its greatest-all-time list, the magazine noted the bass riffs and the off-beat drumming.[4]
The album's title track 'Look-Ka Py Py' reached #11 on the U.S. R&B Singles chart and the album reached #23 on the U.S. R&B Albums chart.[5]
Style[edit]
In his 2008 book, Tom Moon wrote: 'the key characteristic is restraint. Nobody works too hard on Meters records. The rhythm is built on a loose-tight axis, with some elements (usually Zigaboo Modeliste's snappish drumming) pushing forward and other forces (the carefully articulated guitar lines of Leo Nocentelli or spare jabs from Art Neville's B3 organ) pulling back.'[6]
