Like most latter-day Bootsy albums, Fresh Outta 'P' University doesn't offer any surprises -- it's another sprawling collection of funky in all its incarnations, from deep soul to disco -- but since Collins and his backing band deliver it with such energy, style, and professionalism, these 22 songs are entertaining and infectious. Only long-time Collins fanatics will have the need to acquire this record -- casual fans, after all, will need the classic uncut funk of the '70s -- but they will be pleasantly surprised by the album, which is one of his stronger releases of the '90s.
