Review

The track "Footstompin' Music" let it be known that this was a much heavier Grand Funk than before (if that was possible) with organ, bass and drums all locked into a slamming groove. The rest of the album went on to show Grand Funk's growing political consciousness with "People Let's Stop The War" and also includes another concert favorite, "Loneliness." ~ James Chrispell, All Music Guide

E Pluribus Funk is Grand Funk Railroad's fifth studio album, and was released in November 1971 by Capitol Records. This is the final Grand Funk Railroad album produced by Terry Knight. The title is a play on the former motto of the US government, E Pluribus Unum. The original release cover was completely round and covered with a silver-like film to resemble a large coin.
