10. What's Your Favorite Color?
11. Which Way To America
The List will include any album where two unlike genres are fused together, even if the result is some kind of Fly/Jeff Goldblum-esque hybrid that should be euthanized immediately. In this instance, Living Colour is attempting to breed metal and funk.
The outcome in this case is actually pretty good. For me this was the perfect amount of metal, and it didn't overwhelm the music with its harshness. Not every track was particularly memorable, but there were some bangers sprinkled in, with my favorites being Open Letter (To A Landlord) and I Want To Know.
So maybe not an album I would want to revisit again and again, but it could have been a whole lot worse. Also cool to see an African American rock band thrown in on a List heavily dominated by white people.
RATING: 3/5
