There was so much about Living Colour that made them seem so cheesy when they came out in the late '80s-the actor for a frontman, the emphasis on hair (and wet suit), the fakey social critique of their big hit "Cult of Personality" (ooh, what if Stalin and Gandhi are really the same?), the straight-up cheese of "Glamour Boys." If Vivid seemed like pure product at the height of their success, today it sounds like one of the best pop records from that decade. Since Corey Glover obviously doesn't need the money, maybe they reunited just to remind us they kick ass.
