This album by far has included their best songs. I know some may disagree, because they started writing more of their own songs on their third and fourth albums, but if you've heard "Close to Heaven" then you would know just how close to heaven Time and Chance is. On this album Bryan, Kevin, Sam and KT really shine, and their talent is amazing. The remake of Kenny Rogers "Wildflower" is also amazing. And if you enjoy Bryan Abrams as the lead singer, you will really appreciate the strength and emotion he puts into the track called "Let Me Have It All".

Sophomore effort following strong debut Time And Chance was a proper title for Color Me Badd's second coming. Beginning this album off with "Intro (Ecclesiastes 9:11)" tied well with the album's concept and the first song, lead single and title track which was produced by rap producer DJ Pooh who also produces "Groovy Now" which is a groovy sexy crooning tune. These two songs alone arguably are the strength of this LP. Color Me Badd had their hands on the creativity of this album writing eight of the seventeen songs and either producing or co-producing seven of the seventeen. "Let Me Have It All" is a combination of pop and R&B with drum patterns of hip-hop/rap. With strong influence of an early Prince tune, "Rosanna's Little Sister" has a guitar that would be impossible to resist. "How Deep" follows the format for the popular boy band dance song. The vocals found on "In The Sunshine" resemble a George Michael feel good song with horns blowing feeling like a celebration to remember. The album quickly takes on a classic approach with "The Bells" and their rendition of "Wildflower" which shows the group's versatility and range to appeal. Time And Chance concludes with a more spiritual revelation with "God Is Love" and "Let Love Rule (God Is Love Outro)" which should have been an interlude within the album instead of concluding it with its acoustic light aura. CMB definitely has talent, but less filler would have made this a better collection of songs, but it is still a timely piece.

Without a doubt, this is Color Me Badd's top album. The songs on here are so powerful and moving, whether it be to make you get up and dance or to just sit and ponder life in general. I never listened to a cd that made me think of so many different aspects of my life before. "Close to Heaven" and "How Deep" are beautiful songs. I wish I can find a girl in that makes me feel the words in those songs. "Rosanna's Little Sister" has a good beat and brings up a typical scenario for guys - "What do you do when the girl you are dating has a hot younger sister that you are attracted to greatly and also likes you too?" "Choose" and "Time and Chance" round out the best songs. The other songs are good also, just not, in my opinion, as of the same quality of the five I have mentioned. Definite Buy.

This is most definitely one of the better pop albums of all time. CMB achieved fame with their first album, but this is their White Album. It combines r&b, rock, soul, and a little of everything else to make for a pleasant listening. Give it a try.

Actually i lost the tape for this...had to order the cd instead...
Always liked CMB music.. had a HUGE love/crush on the lead singer (bryan abrams).. very good looking man.

This is byfar the best album that the group ever put out. Each song is absulutely beautiful. This album is timesless. This album will make you smile and bring tears to your eyes at the same time. I highly recommend this album. I absolutely love it!

Way back in 1992 I first listened to Color Me Badd and ever since I have loved their music! What I like about them is their great voices and the cool variety of music mixed in with an urban feel. My favorite singer of the band is Mark Calderon. He has such a wonderful voice and I love the songs that he has a good amount of time singing in. If you love Color Me Badd or love to hear a band that you are not familiar with then I strongly recommend that your purchase this CD today!

Another great installment by CMB. I highly recommend picking this album up. Tracks such as the title song "Time and Chance", Choose, Rosanna's Little Sister, Close to Heaven and God is Love make this album what it is. Awesome listening! You won't be disappointed Time and Chance combines soft ballads with upbeat pop songs you can dance to for an unbeatable combination and a CD that no collection is complete without.

Highly recommended!
