November 14: Color - Are You With Me?
Here's a recipe for disaster: take one Austin-based band of veterans (half of them were in a band called Seed that had a song on the Melrose Place soundtrack 10 years ago), record with the guy behind Matchbox 20 and that Aerosmith song "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing," write a whole bunch of uplifting, you-can-do-it songs, the kind Survivor got big with in the early '80s, and then release the whole package on Sept. 11, 2001.
Ouch.
Color were pretty much dead in the water from the beginning (it didn't help any that their style of music peaked about three years before this album came out), and their website's been taken down, so I assume they've broken up. I picked this up at Randy's M&Ms in Edmond after listening to it on one of the listening stations. So hey music retailers: those listening stations work. Put more up in your stores, so people with an hour or two to kill can try before they buy.
I liked this album at the time, but three years on, it already sounds horribly dated. It's headed for the Sell pile.
