Mad At the World - Seasons of Love (CD, 2024, Retroactive) $13.97 SALE PRICE
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SEASONS OF LOVE....
They've still got that singer (Roger Rose) but most everything else has changed, and now play near-metal guitar rock with buzz saw axes and drums that hit you in the chest.
Tony Cummings / Cross Rhythms Music (U.K.)
The next three outings reflect the band’s second phase. Gritty guitars rule, keyboards are all but banished, and real drums replace synthesized rhythm machines. Rose also tones
down his faux British accent and acquires more of the vocal snarl of a Jim Morrison or Billy Idol. Mark Allan Powell / Encyclopedia of CCM

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.

- Officially licensed
- Originally released 1991, Alarma Records
- Limited to just 300 units
- Part of the Legends Remastered Series
- The band’s most controversial song, “Isn’t Sex a Wonderful Thing?”—a sarcastic rant against abuses of sexuality in modern society.
- Also includes new synthesizer-free version of older hit song “No More Innocence”
- Second album of the band's second era of fusing hard and alternative rock with very little synthesizer
- For fans of Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cult, Billy Idol
ABOUT THE ALBUM
MAD AT THE WORLD released Boomerang in 1991, marking a significant development in their exploration of alternative rock. This album stands out for its rich variety of musical styles, setting it apart from their previous effort, Seasons of Love. The energetic opening track "House of Sin" bridges the two albums, while "If You Listen" introduces a darker, more atmospheric sound, vividly depicting themes of spiritual struggle.
Tracks like "Back to You" and "Don't Give Up" highlight the band's ability to craft memorable melodies and harmonies, with the latter drawing comparisons to the mid-90s rock vibe of Stone Temple Pilots. The poignant "Ballad of Adam and Eve" and the hard-hitting "Sunday" showcase the band's versatility, from tender love themes to grittier, Alice In Chains-like tones. "Draggin' the Chains," co-written by bassist Brent Gordon, delves into the depths of sin and redemption, offering powerful lyrics, quasi-metal guitars and a deeply compelling narrative.
Perhaps the most controversial track, "Isn't Sex a Wonderful Thing?" uses biting sarcasm to critique modern attitudes towards love and purity, reflecting the band's fearless approach to challenging societal norms. The album closes with a robust reprise of "No More Innocence," transforming the original keyboard-driven track into a full-force rock anthem.
This reissue of Boomerang, part of Retroactive Records' Legends Remastered Series, is limited to 300 copies and features a remastered sound by Rob Colwell. Packaged in a jewel case with an eight-page lyrics insert, this edition revitalizes one of the best Christian alternative albums ever, ensuring its legacy endures for new and old fans alike.
