However, the album went to Number 1 on the Soul Albums chart for two weeks and cracked the Pop Albums chart in the Top 40. It was Brown's only studio album to be certified gold. \u003cem\u003eThe Payback\u003c\/em\u003e is considered a high point in Brown's recording career and is now regarded by critics as a landmark funk album. Musically, the album is largely cyclic grooves and jamming, but it also features departures into a softer soul-based sound on tracks like \"Doing the Best I Can\" and \"Forever Suffering\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strongly Felt","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":51531615928651,"sku":"R5476-7236","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5060672883665.jpg?v=1743030830","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/the-payback","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
