Shaft is a forgettable album, mostly. The music is soul. This is a soundtrack album filled with filler. No matter how good the band is, they're still performing uninteresting, uninspired and pointless music.
This is not an album that I would willingly choose to listen to. There are some good moments on this album, but even if they were to counterbalance the filler, it wouldn't become a proper album. As far as soundtracks go, it's quite good, but to judge it as a soundtrack is not one of the criteria. Therefore, I don't recommend this unless soundtracks are your thing. I certainly don't think this belongs on the 1001 Albums list.
There are some good songs on this album. The stand outs are: Theme from Shaft, Be Yourself, Soulsville and Do Your Thing.
★★★★★★★☆☆☆
