Truly exceptional band and CD

"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."
Awesome

"The best African American rock band of all time. No further comment needed. Every rock fan must have all albums from Living Colour."
