Free Music Notes for Collideoscope
Free Music Review: And i USED to be a die-hard fan!
Hit: 2 Stars
All i could do with most of the tracks on this album was shake my head. What a JOKE! I'm down for the cause and will always check out new material from Living Coulour. But i gotta say..i was hugely dissapointed. Oh..don't get me wrong. The (Back in Black) cover was pretty good. And (Flying) is pure inspirational genious. Just Beautiful. But the rest of the album made me want to use the disc as a coaster for my drink. I was especially dissapointed with the Beatles cover..(Tomorrow Never Knows). Now, if a quartet of brotha's can't get that song to come out soundin'as funky as the Beatles did, well....Nuff said. Get back in the woodshed guys. i want something on the level of the first two Living Colour albums. Got it?Free Music Review: not worth the wait

I Grew up on these Brothers Who Rocked Hard&were a Cool band back in the day."Cult of Personality","Glamour Boys" etc.. they vibed Funk Metal&were on point.but this Album seems forced&Contrived in so many spots.they could do this as a EP or something.I've seen many Bands come along who couldn't carry Living Color's Luggage.but this Album is just kida there¬ worth the wait.Free Music Review: 2 stars simply because they 'used to be...'

I was excited. I loved these guys. Still do. But I don't love them for this. I've had it since it came out and keep putting it on to see if it will hit me differently. It doesn't.
Frankly, anyone who can seriously do a cover of AC/DC (and a truly poor cover at that) is just not trying anymore. Even the production was bad.
I'm sorry guys, time's up.
Free Music Review: Glad I have all their OLD cd's...

Hit: 1 Stars
First off i want to just criticize many of the reviews preceeding giving this record 5 stars. 5-stars is the highest rating an album can receive, so do you hold this to be as classic as the white album, or led zeppelin i or ii? That being said i don't know how anybody really could give this record anything above 3 stars, the production is terrible, the bass is turned way too far up. These songs are poor arrangements and most of them don't lend anything to be memorable (or at least that one would want to remember). Vernon Reid is more sloppy than Jimmy Page with his solos. I like Reid a lot for his unique sound/tone and his occasional monster riffs. However, his solos here (as on his other records as well) spend too much time attempting to deliver a flurry of notes, which instead come out as noises. Lead playing that incorporates this can be quite interesting and effective. (EVH, Steve Vai, Satriani, etc..) but when it is your entire solo
such as here and that of Tom Morello of RAGE its another story. \ I just think the songs really lack substance. The only thing these guys have going for em is that they are black. I have only given this record 1 1/2 spins so i admit it hasn't had enough time to grow on me, but thats because i didn't want to listen to it anymore. 5-stars denotes the record is an instant classic and a masterpiece at that. I would suggest King's X if you are looking for some good "black" rock. You are the consumer so give the samples a listen and if it thrills you... Buy it.
