The album is AMAZING! I had been starving for some powerful Minneapolis funk and this album delivers! Favorite songs are....

***the title track---this just might be the funkiest jam they ever did!

***"If I Was Yo Man"---This needs to be the next single!!! Make a great video,send it to radio with heavy promotion and this could become one of their biggest hits.

***"#Trendin"---I liked this song from the first moment I heard it.Like their classic singles from the past,this one has ATTITUDE.It's fun,funky and catchy and they sound like they had alot of fun recording it.Morris' humor is in full display here.

***"Sick"---all I can say is headbang headbang nuff said! wink

***"Lifestyle"---the best slow jam on the album,and one of their best slow jams,period.This is another potential single.

***"Cadillac"---Hell yeah!!!! This is what I'm talkin' bout! headbang classic Time funk!

***"Toast To The Party Girl"---this song makes me smile....it's just alot of fun.

The fellas are back!! lol Doing things their own way and the results are impressive.I hope they keep it going....let's have another album next year!!! Come on,guys.

and the documentary DVD is priceless!! Longtime fans have GOT to check it out...the guys are extremely candid about their experiences!! They don't hold nothing back lol We finally get alot of great insight into the Time,from their early days to the present.

All I can say about the album is "that shit is sick!" biggrin

They sound like they are 20. It is the MPLS sound but updated.

Morris is 50 and can still sing about being Morris and it does not come off creepy. Prince could learn a lesson from that.

Its too bad they had the snippets as their songs need to cook until they get to a simmer and then they sweep you away. You cannot learn anything about a Time song in a damn snippet.

Been a while since I got goose bumps in a song, but when Jesse's solo kicks into gear on "If I Was Yo Man" ... cool

So happy with the release, so happy for the band. So happy to have some new real funk on my stereo.

I also love it when Morris says "Side 2" after "Lifestyle"

I hope that this does not turn into a one off project and we get a few more albums out of them.

Oh, and the Documentary is a must watch for any fan.

Later

Got my copy tuesday and haven't stopped listenning. Bravo to the band 'cause they did a hell of a job! Lets hope that they continue with more jams like this and maybe this will create a "trend" of REAL BANDS WITH REAL MUSICIANS that can write , produce and arrange their own music again. They have been missed!

I still hate that they changed their name and that Prince owns the name "The Time" or whatever and wouldn't let them use it. Allegedly.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

its unlikely to sell more then 10k coz the projections from hits daily double for other groups is just above 10k and these guys didnt get a mention, if it sold more then 2k then it will make the bb top 200 and we will know

seriously who gives a crap what it sells, they did a kick ass record thats what matters and they are touring, that again is what is important, so it sells a few thousand OK, i mean were we that concerned back in the day what "Ice Cream Castle" was selling ?

I agree.I don't care how many copies it sells.Just the fact that it was recorded and released....that's an accomplishment right there.It's already a success,as far as I'm concerned.Best album of 2011.

Because the darned customer service told me on Sunday that each store was only getting ten copies and that was all so I ordered on line so I wouldn't miss out on the DVD just in case. Now I read Best Buy has plenty of copies. sad doh! So, now I'll just have to wait and avoid the threads. rolleyes disbelief lol
