Customer Reviews

THIS ALBUM IS COOKING GAS!
The long awaited comeback album of 80s band The Time will perhaps appeal to the listener who likes R&B,Prince.If you enjoyed "What Time is it" then this album is a must buy if you haven't already got it. This album has has a wonderful blend of humour,R&B and rock and the intro's to each record are brilliantly orchestrated by Morris Day.

Tracks like Jerk out, Pandemonium,are up tempo records similar to The Time of old and would really appeal to single men out there who enjoy this tongue in cheek definitive on the pull the music when preparing for a night out. As both of these tracks describe the experience.

If you enjoy of more of the rock side to the time you will particulary enjoy Blondie,Skillett.Personally, the guitars work in Blondie is magnificent but it is the lyrics which once again men who have been lets say(taken for a mug) on a night out would really identify with this record and also women who are intelligent enough not to follow in this stereotype would also identify someone in this record.

If you have got Graphitti Bridge then you might notice a similarity of "My Summer Time Thing" with The Latest Fashion on that album. A soft record I would look out for is "Sometimes I Get Lonely" which seems to be a genuine love record.Also "Donald Trump Black Version".

This album would certainly turn alot of heads in rush hour traffic for the brilliant combination if the music and the humour. If you enjoyed The Time in Purple Rain, Graphitti Bridge,then you must buy this album. This is my second time buying it, it is that good as my last one got stolen.

Some excellent tracks, some terrible...
This is The Time's last album from 1990 and many fans (mostly ones fixated on 80s nostalgia) unfairly criticise this release.

This is the first album where the band members actually got to write and perform the bulk of the material by themselves. Prince's input is limited to just three numbers, although it has to be said, two of the three Prince cuts are the albums strongest tracks. This album is worth buying for "Chocolate" alone. Prince originally recorded this in 1982 for Morris Day and it eventually ended up on Pandemonium. It's full of witty exchanges between Morris and the band. But it's not just the humour that makes this song so great, the funky guitar chops are relentless and reminscent of what made James Brown's grooves so irresistable.

"Skillet" and "Blondie" are two blistering rock numbers with Jesse Johnson's guitar licks taking centre stage. Both tracks are penned by the band themselves and may come as something of a surprise to fans only familiar with The Time's 80s output. It is refreshing to see them grow and expand their music beyond the funky 80s party songs for which they've become synonymous.

The only down side if that the record is too long. Their three 80s album all contain only six tracks, keeping the albums tight at all times. This album is littered with annoying interludes and occasional filler ("Data Bank" and "My Summertime Thang" to name just two).

However there is a great Time album in here somewhere, so don't miss out...
