Release Date 1988:

1: "Cult of Personality" - 4:54
2: "I Want to Know" - 4:24
3: "Middle Man" - 3:47
4: "Desperate People" - 5:36
5: "Open Letter (To a Landlord)" - 5:32
6: "Funny Vibe" - 4:20
7: "Memories Can't Wait" - 4:30
8: "Broken Hearts" - 4:50
9: "Glamour Boys" - 3:39
10: "What's Your Favorite Color? (Theme Song)" - 3:56
11: "Which Way to America?" - 3:41

I pulled this one out not too long ago when I heard my local classic rock station play it and I have not heard it in quite a while. 

Cult of Personality hit #13 on the Billboard charts way back in 1988.  What a monster of a song.  Love so much about this album....Glover's vocals....Reid's guitar...Skillings has a great funk/rock bass sound and Calhoun's play on the drums...especially the accents on the cymbals and hi-hats.

I was sssoooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed with Collideoscope...I think that album is a downer.  Maybe I should pull it out and try it one more time.

Appreciate the solid effort that is VIVID!!!  bowdown

Not really a fan of these guys-- I've seen them and they put on a good show-- and I think their album "Stain" surprassed this album.

The first track is an undeniable classic, but they were a one-hit wonder.

I used to own this but I didn't get into most of it.  I've always wanted to give it another shot just because Cult of Personality.
