Logrolling alert (and full disclosure so the FTC doesn't start going in on my private off-limits areas with a microscope): in addition to being a fellow reviewer here, Frankie J is also the owner of Flapjack Records and a supporter of 5. However, I feel confident enough in myself to be able to set that aside and say that you need to take a pair of paddles to your heart if you can't get with the groove in this. "Discopetry" especially has that end-of-the-night-I-gotta-go-but-damn-I-love-this-song-gimme-a-few-minutes-more feeling: a snaky groove and a lovely over-and-over-again vocal sample that gives you something to hang on to. This and "Everybody Funk" are easily my favorite tracks here: both are a shot of sugar straight into the arm. "I Like to Be Me" adds some crisp conga percussion while toying with Deniece Williams' classic 1977 Disco/R&B staple "Free". I love going through music libraries to trace these bits back to their source and had the same experience with the final cut "Everybody Funk". Unlike a lot of EPs which are essentially a track, a remix and a couple of pieces of filler, Discorder seems to have an internal integrity to it: "This is the Life" and "Discopetry" just sort of flow into one another the way you used to expect from two tracks on a single side of vinyl.
