The iconic black rock band Living Colour's Time's Up, released in
1990, was recorded in the aftermath of the spectacular critical and
commercial success of their debut record Vivid. Time's Up is a
musical and lyrical triumph, incorporating distinct forms and
styles of music and featuring inspired collaborations with artists
as distinct as Little Richard, Queen Latifah, Maceo Parker, and
Mick Jagger. The clash of sounds and styles don't immediately fit.
The confrontational hardcore-thrash metal, complete with Glover's
apocalyptic wail, in the title track is not a natural companion
with Doug E. Fresh's human beat box on "Tag Team Partners," but
it's precisely this bold and brilliant collision that creates the
barely-controlled chaos. And isn't rock & roll about chaos?
Living Colour's sophomore effort holds great relevance in light of
its forward-thinking politics and lyrical engagement with racism,
classism, police brutality, and other social and political issues
of great importance. Through interviews with members of Living
Colour, and others involved in the making of Time's Up, Kimberly
Mack explores the creation and reception of this artistically
challenging album, while exploring the legacy of this culturally
important and groundbreaking Black American rock band.
