User Album Review
Living Colour has finally returned to the blend of graffiti guitar rock that made them the first true alternative to the hair metal nation of the Reagan/Bush era with the excellent Shade. Produced by Andre Betts, the studio vet who helped sire this band’s 3rd LP Stain while also working with everyone from Madonna to reggae legend Barrington Levy, this 13 track set sees the band tapping back into that essential ingredients of their core sound.
The darker, more industrial overtones that mired their sound on not only Stain but 2003’s Collide-O-Scope and 2009’s The Chair in the Doorway as well have dissipated enough to give way for the kind of Lower Manhattan funk-metal moves that made singles like “Desperate People” and “Type” such monster jams of their day. It’s an especially exciting delight to hear the longtime lineup of Corey Glover, Vernon Reid, Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun firing on all cylinders in both rhythm and riffage on such searing cuts as opening number “Freedom of Expression (F.O.X.)” and the Afropunk stomper “Glass Teeth”.
It took them the better part of three decades to finally break down their sound to the raw materials that made them such a bracing antidote to the lily white patina of rock music in the late ‘80s. That may seem like a long time, but considering the fractured state of our country right now, Shade feels right on schedule.
