"All Day Music" is the second album by funk group War. "All Day Music" is a mellow-sounding song. "Get Down" is raw funk, with gospel-tinged vocals. "That's What Love Will Do" and "There Must Be A Reason" are two pieces of a musical suite with a dark feeling (a ballad and a crescendo). "Nappy Head" is the Latin piece, featuring a long guitar solo. "Slippin' Into Darkness" is the funk anthem brought by the band on this album, still with a dark feel, and has been covered by numerous artists. "Baby Brother" is a live track, in the blues-boogie style, which would later be redone as a loose funk track on their 1973 album, "Deliver the Word", and retitled "Me and Baby Brother".
