Dated, but packed with '90s Goodness! Listening to this in 2007, it sounds very obviously dated, but still, its a telling remnant of the early 1990s soundscape. The great part about this is that it has two songs that STILL sound amazing - "I Adore Mi Amor" and "Thinkin' Back", while most of the others sound very, very generic.
The early 90s pop machine was a strange thing indeed - much of it sounds terrible today. But this album still stands out because of its high hit quotient (six Billboard Hot 100 singles - a remarkable achievement).
Should you buy this? Yes. Its definitely more memorable than the later days output of say, the Backstreet Boys - but if you're looking for some wholesome 1990s goodness, you can do much worse than this.
COLOR WHO WHAT??! oh baby, this is precious, someone here is actually comparing CMB to The Beatles?!?! Is that why CMB's CD is selling for a whopping 21 cents? I'd love to continue but the urge for uncontrollable laughter is just way too much, ha ha ha ha ha ha..........
Color them badd. Most likely when someone tosses out the term boy-band, N'Sync or Backstreet Boys come to mind. However, Color Me Badd was doing their thing years before those two groups, and much better. Ok, so New Kids On The Block were around too, but they weren't as badd. These guys have a "Best Of" out also, but the best of that is basically right on this album. Included is their biggest hit "I Wanna Sex You Up". That track was in the movie "New Jack City", and is also here in reprise form. Other hits were "I Adore Mi Amore", "Thinkin' Back", and the extremely catchy "All 4 Love". The bottom line is that these guys were so badd they were good, and where else are you gonna get George Michael, Terence Trent D'Arby, Vanilla Ice, and Kenny G on the same album?
One of My all-time favorites! Way back in 1992 I first listened to Color Me Badd and ever since I have loved their music! What I like about them is their great voices and the cool variety of music mixed in with an urban feel. My favorite singer of the band is Mark Calderon. He has such a wonderful voice and I love the songs that he has a good amount of time singing in. If you love Color Me Badd or love to hear a band that you are not familiar with then I strongly recommend that your purchase this CD today!
Color Them Awesome!!!!!!!!! People are always talking about the Beatles as if they were something special, but did they ever do a song as unbelievable as "I Wanna Sex You Up"? I don't think so. Would John Lennon have dared to sing "All 4 Love"? No way! Could Paul McCartney have written a song like "I Adore Mi Amor"? Not a chance! Could Keith Richards get as real as "Groove My Mind"? I highly doubt it. Would Ringo Starr dare to drum on a track like "I Wanna Sex You Up (Reprise)"? Impossible! And that's not even half the album! There are still such all-time classics as "I Adore Mi Amor (Interlude)," the band's manifesto "Color Me Badd," and the grammatical ingenuity of "Your Da One I Onena Love"! Buy this album NOW!!!!!!
