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.Read full review
Incredible album here people. With songs like "Time's Up", "Pride", "Love Rears It's Ugly Head" and the minor hit "Type", it's worth every penny. The voice from Corey Glover is exceptional, but in my opinion the rhythm section of this band stans apart, one of the best rhythm sections i've heard in any band. Recommended!
Corey and the lads continue to rock out in a socially relevant way! This band exploded onto the music scene with their debut Vivid and the song Cult of Personality. Vernon Reid can play guitar with the best of them. Very cool release!!!
