AllMusic Review by Amy Hanson
Funk pioneers the Bar-Kays not only succeeded in stamping their own rock
influence on the genre, but also influenced a generation of vocalists while
keeping their own sense of sound intact. By the '80s, however, the band had
traded in some of their traditional chops for a more electronic vibe, one which
certainly gave nod to the younger generation of funkers coming up right
behind them -- Prince and Cameo's Larry Blackmon especially. This move to a
wave groove is particularly evident on Propositions, although the band keeps
three very distinctive styles going throughout the set. The majority of songs,
however, are heavy on the synth, including the title track and "Tripping Out."
"Do It (Let Me See You Shake)," meanwhile, had trappings that were pure
Prince, and cracked the R&B Top Ten. To temper that tumultuous flow, the
band also included two soul/rock ballads, "Anticipation" and "I Can't Believe
You're Leaving Me." Both the old school "(Busted)" and "You Made a Change in
My Life," meanwhile, returned the funk to full focus, while the band lets their
real talents rip. Propositions definitely succeeded in its time and its place.
Bar-Kays fans from the '70s probably won't love it, but anyone who cut their
teeth on the pop sounds of the mid-'80s should snap this up and enjoy the
history lesson.
