Album Review

The same year that Living Colour announced its breakup, Epic issued a 17-track greatest-hits collection, Pride. As the collection proves, the band was ahead of their time and extremely influential — they were combining musical forms such as heavy metal and funk/rap/soul years before the musical form was commonplace (circa late '90s). But unlike the bands of the late '90s, Living Colour actually had thought-provoking messages in their music — racism, crooked landlords, the immortalization of celebrities/world leaders, etc. — as well as being superb musicians/songwriters. The best known of the bunch — "Cult of Personality," "Glamour Boys," "Funny Vibe," and "Type" — are obvious standouts, but the lesser known are just as strong. Living Colour was always about creating consistent albums from beginning to end, as such selections as the title track, "Time's Up," "Nothingness," "Solace of You," and "Open Letter (To a Landlord)" prove. Add to it several previously unreleased outtakes — "Release the Pressure," "Sacred Ground," "Visions," and a remix of "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" — and you have a near-definitive Living Colour collection that will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers.

Customer Reviews

Its great....

Its great.... Its not as good as their album Vivid but it definetly stands out in the collection. Pride is an overview of the band's success. "Cult of Personality" is their most heard, famous, and basic songs but for one to truly appreciate the band you must listen to "Love Rears Its Ugly Head", "Open Letter to a Landlord", and "Release the Pressure". Living Colour proves that the 80s and 90s were the greatest era of music and will never be forgotten.......

good song selections, two track mess-ups

this collection has a nice pick of tracks for the new or casual listener. the hard-core fans like myself will probably have already heard nearly all of these songs on the original albums. tracks 2, 3, and 6, however are not available elsewhere and should be the main (if not only) reason to add this to your library. why? Because there is a small flaw in tracks 10 and 17 (WTFF and What's Your Favorite Color? respectively). track 10 is cut short and fades out. track 17 is even worse because you get most of the named song but then it immediately does the first verse and half of the chorus to Which Way To America before breaking into Tag Team Partners. again, a nice buyable collection but with two big mess-ups. in regards to the three previously unreleased tracks, I think that Release The Pressure is the best because the version of Sacred Ground on Collideøscope is a bit better. all in all I will give it 3 1/2 to 4 stars.

Dude.

This album's a best of..., genius! Awesome band.

Biography

Formed: 1984 in NY

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

During the 1980s, rock had become completely segregated and predictable, the opposite of the late '60s/early '70s, when such musically and ethnically varied artists as Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, and Santana ruled the Earth. But bands such as New York's Living Colour helped break down the doors by the end of the '80s, leading to a much more open-minded musical landscape that would eventually pave the way for future bands (Rage Against the Machine, Sevendust, etc.). The group (singer...
