Marvin Gaye - What's Going On [LP] (180 Gram)

What's Going On is the eleventh studio album by soul musician Marvin Gaye, released May 21, 1971. What's Going On is a unified concept album consisting of nine songs, most of which lead into the next. The album is told from the point of view of a Vietnam War veteran returning to the country he had been fighting for, and seeing only hatred, suffering, and injustice. Gaye's introspective lyrics discuss themes of drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War. He has also been credited with criticizing global warming before the public outcry against it had become prominent.
