Vivid - Living Colour

In the album Vivid,  Living Colour released the song "Cult of Personality," "Glamour Boys" and "Open a Letter (to a Landlord)". The band was discovered by Mick Jagger.  Living Colour released Vivid taking them to the top of their game in 1988, becoming known for starting songs with a sound bite. When they released the album they were declared Best New Artist of the year.  Some of the lyrics in the album are political and not just disputing racism but attacking it. The band broke up in 1995 only have a reunion in 2000. I give this album two and a half stars.  I think that they were not the best new band in 1989, but definitely up there with the rest.  Their ticket to fame was the song: "Cult of Personality" - talking about leaders of the world and being careful when following them.

Do you think they were the best in 1989?  Feel free to comment.
