I don’t know. It kind of sounds like a Fishbone album that was produced by a glam rock producer. It’s kind of got that 80’s Stanley Clark sheen to it. Like it’s too polished. It feels produced, not like a rock band letting their hair down…
I like that, shiny. I've not listened to Stain. I do think Time's Up is better than Vivid. I listened to it recently because Questlove talked about it in Music is History.
