The title track was a genuine R\u0026amp;B hit, reaching No. 11 on the US R\u0026amp;B singles chart, while the album made No. 23 on the US R\u0026amp;B albums chart. It has since been recognised in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums list, which makes sense once you hear how relaxed and exact these grooves are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this record last is how much personality The Meters get from concise instrumentals. Art Neville's organ, Leo Nocentelli's clipped guitar, George Porter Jr.'s heavy bass lines and Ziggy Modeliste's off-beat second-line feel give the album a balance of tightness and ease that became a blueprint for later funk. AllMusic calls it the record that continues the sound that made them New Orleans legends, and Pitchfork's later reassessment heard the album's wordless conversation most clearly in the push and pull between Neville and Modeliste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat economy is part of the appeal: most tracks are short, but songs like \u003cem\u003eLook-Ka Py Py\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePungee\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFunky Miracle\u003c\/em\u003e never feel slight. Instead, the band lock into an idea, sharpen it, and move on before the groove wears out. For anyone tracing the route from late-60s R\u0026amp;B into modern funk, this is one of The Meters' key statements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCut from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eThe second album by Art Neville's band continues the sound that made them New Orleans legends.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/look-ka-py-py-mw0000309290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAllMusic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003ea fullness that is as spectacular as it is labyrinthian\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/the-meters-look-ka-py-py\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-meters-vinyl-records\"\u003eThe Meters\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Jackpot Records, Josie\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp;
