So what production choices make the album stand out from the other records of the era?

I think again, just choosing to bring funk, bringing even some aspects of gospel.

The heavy metal aspect is there too.

And you even get some g- uh, some fresh cameos here and there that it just again tells that story of what's going on that era, and I think what makes it breakthrough is that it's again giving you something different.

When I think of Living Colour als- uh, again, I would call them like a breakthrough artist.

When I think of them I think of like MF Doom, I think of Death, I think of other pioneers of music who people may not have listened to, and then years later down the line s- well wait a minute, let's, let's listen to this.

What is it that they're bringing to the table with this? And I think that's what catches people's eyes.

So how important was the album for Black artists in heavy music?
