Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Eclectic Comment: This is Living Colour's most eclectic cd's. It explores it's african american influnses on some songs and on others they totally rock out. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Comment: The best African American rock band of all time. No further comment needed. Every rock fan must have all albums from Living Colour. Customer Rating: Summary: truly exceptional band and CD Comment: I consider this CD to be Living Colour's masterpiece and one of my all time favorites, one of my "desert island top 10 must haves." In my opinion, it is the total package...it has jaw-dropping musicianship and musical execution, exquisite song crafting, near perfect sound production and mixing, tasty song order placement and mood shifting, legendary musical guests,(I'll go on...), strong and (STILL) relevant lyrics, all rapped up in one CD when the band was at the top of their game. It seems to me that the band put forth a ton of soul, time, and brain power in producing this record, and feels like they wanted to use their new found fame to get the truth out to the mainstream (white) kids who came to the shows. (me included) I'm 41 now and CANNOT help cranking this up all the way through when listening while driving, one of the few recordings that can still get me geeked after MULTIPLE listens over 17 years now. A gift to the world of MUSIC (screw genre) by one gifted and special band. Customer Rating: Summary: Living tosh Comment: Absolute Tosh of the highest order, wow man this sucks bigtime, why did they not get lessons and a proper drummer?????????. This so called Blackrock is about as rock as my Toothpaste. Ok for a coaster i suppose. Customer Rating: Summary: Better than their first release, which was perfect Comment: You can't do better than perfection. Or so I thought. As I continue to grow my CD collection (replacing the hundreds of cassettes that I own from my teenage years) I am reminded of the many albums that I absolutely loved. This is one of them. Living Colour released their 2nd album, Time's Up, to less critical acclaim and less sales than that which greeted their first album, Vivid. Vivid was sheer perfection, no doubt about it, but the fact that Time's Up did not receive the same attention is baffling to me. Time's Up presents a more mature sound; lyrically deeper, musically inventive. The sound is layered with the hard hitting drums, heavy guitar riffs and jazz-infused bass lines that are expected from Living Colour, but the album is mixed with subtle synthesized, ambient backgrounds that give the music a whole new feel. And of course, there is Corey Glover's vocals that transcend the rock genre and blur the lines between R&B and rock & roll; soul, rage, pain, personified in song. The title track, Pride, Love Rears It's Ugly Head, Information Overload, Solace Of You and This Is Life are all musical perfection; played with precision and attention to finite musical detail. All other songs are entertaining at the least and help to round out this work of art. Perfection can be bettered; Living Colour has proven it with their 1st 2 albums. More Reviews
