Color in Your Life


Color in Your Life is the third studio album by American band Missing Persons, released in 1986. It was the band's last studio album with the original line-up, with the sole exception of Chuck Wild, who left the group in 1985 and was not replaced. The album was produced by Bernard Edwards.

Critical reception

The Philadelphia Inquirer panned the "thoroughly cheesy vocalist Dale Bozzio." The Los Angeles Times noted that the album "features sudden screeching guitar solos slicing through the electronic haze... those moments come out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly, leaving only that incessant dance beat." The Dallas Morning News called Color in Your Life "a surprisingly feeble effort, filled with colorless, uninspired music." The Omaha World-Herald deemed "I Can't Think About Dancin "obnoxiously repetitive."
