This album heralded the end of The Trammps reign as the Disco era's signature disco group. The cuts seemed to lack the drive and tempo that Trammps fans had come to expect. Love Magnet would be the only cut that approached the magic of their earlier sounds. Soul Bones and The Whole World Is Dancing were other cuts that fans of this legendary disco act will appreciate.

not sure about this review of the Trammps The whole worlds dancing lp. the tracks mentioned were hardly popular with underground dance music scene, but love insurance policy & my love has never been better both were monster hits in eastcoast night clubs from nyc to atlanta. i was programming in dc at the clubhouse where it was without a doubt a peak record. that would be accurate for catacombs in philly, new yorks, crisco disco, the loft, better days, just to name a few.
