Living Colour's original sound from their first few albums (Vivid, Time's Up, Biscuits) was just incredible. These guys had it figured out. My biggest regret in regards to this band is that I did not see them play live before they split up. Flash forward (or, in retrospect, back) to "Stain", their last full album release, and you have a totally different sound. Anger, rage, power, bitterness, blown through your speakers (or headphones) without regret or apology. These CD is pure, raw emotion and it is amazing. If you liked Living Colour's orignal sound (i.e. Cult of Personality), you may find this CD to be a little hard to swallow. But if you love hard rock with jazz infused bass lines and a drummer that can deliver a backbeat from hell, plug in, hold on and enjoy. Living Colour continues to record and tour with changes in the line-up, but the power of "Stain" will never be duplicated. Truly a rock & roll classic.Read full review
"Stain" deserved better from the general public. It's heavy, smart, tight, and powerful. May fans think this is the band's finest hour, and I might agree at times. You can't lose with the band's first three albums. I highly recommend each of them.
