ABOUT THE ALBUM

Artists evolve. They change to explore new horizons, adapt to the times, or simply to rejuvenate their creative spirit. Mad At The World did just that with their 1990 release, "Seasons of Love," shifting from their late 80s techno sound to a robust hard rock style. Now, Retroactive Records proudly reissues this seminal album, remastered by Rob Colwell, as part of the Legends Remastered Series.

Despite the album cover's familiar aesthetic, "Seasons of Love" marked a bold departure from the band's earlier work. Initially, fans expecting the dance-alternative vibes were surprised by the hard rock transformation. However, this change showcased the band's versatility and depth. The album opens with "The Narrow Road," a track reminiscent of The Cult, addressing the journey of realigning one's life. The title track offers a beautiful acoustic melody with a Spanish flair, echoing their alternative roots.

Standout tracks include the aggressive "City of Anger," the balanced "When the Wind Blows," and "Marshmallow Land," featuring Randy Rose's powerful vocals. "Summer's Gone" delivers poetic nostalgia, while "So Insane" tackles drug abuse with raw energy. The album closes dynamically with a reprise of "Seasons of Love," hinting at future musical directions.

"Seasons of Love" transcends simple genre classification, blending hard rock, alternative, and a hint of their techno origins. This reissue will captivate old fans and attract new ones, appealing to enthusiasts of The Cult, Danzig, The Cure, and alternative rock. Experience the transformation and depth of Mad At The World's "Seasons of Love," available in a limited edition of 300 units. Secure your copy and rediscover the magic of this iconic album.
