A killer album of 70s New Orleans funk! Chocolate Milk were an amazing funk group in their best moments - and this album is certainly one of those moments - a blistering batch of tracks that set a whole new style for the Crescent City scene, and which showed that producers Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn could easily hit the hipper notes of the 70s! There's a tight rhythmic sound at the core of most numbers, but expanded instrumentation over the top - bits of spacey electrics or jazzier electronics that never would have shown up in Sansu records of years back, but which show that with the right group, New Orleans funk could easily take on the hippest styles going down on both coasts! The title cut, "Action Speaks Louder Than Words", is a slow funk classiA1 Actions Speaks Louder Than Words 3:24 A2 Time Machine 4:32 A3 My Mind Is Hazy 4:42 A4 Confusion 4:12 A5 Pretty Pimpin' Willie 4:00 B1 Tin Man 3:21 B2 Chocolate Pleasure 3:36 B3 People 2:54 B4 Ain't Nothin' But A Thing 2:59 B5 Out Among The Stars 5:35
