Nine Types Of Light is a lush and beautiful album that stands apart from the group's previous work. If their other albums had shades of dystopia and distress, this album, sung by Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone, is filled with songs about longing and love. Nine Types Of Light is the follow-up to the band's gorgeous, glorious 2008 release, Dear Science, and proved to be its breakout release. It was named album of the year by Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly and MTV; and touring behind the album, the group sold out a year's worth of live shows across the world. This, however, did not prevent everyone from referring to TV On The Radio as a Brooklyn band. That is not a bad thing. The group - Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, Dave Sitek, Jaleel Bunton, Gerard Smith - are indeed from Brooklyn. ## Images ![Nine Types Of Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41c3OBOYHqL.jpg) ![Nine Types Of Light - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Ds6GbY9xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ R.I.P. Gerard Smith *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2011* It has been a busy couple of years for TV on the Radio since the release of 2008's "Dear Science," but the vast majority of their work did not come as a group. Lead singer Tunde Adebimpe started up a career in acting while musicians Kyp Malone and David Sitek both released solo albums. With numerous critically acclaimed albums already behind them, there was no doubting their collective talents, but the past few years have showcased their individual abilities and offered fans a unique perspective on what each member brings to the table.Setting up camp in Sitek's home studio in Los Angeles, the band's move from Brooklyn, NY to the west coast occasionally has an influence on the music, making "Nine Types of Light" a bit of a departure from TV on the Radio's first three records. The mixture of anger and sadness heard throughout their earlier releases has been replaced with a more cheerful collection of tracks. The lyrics are still far from uplifting, but it's clear TV on the Radio are able to accept the ups and downs life has to offer with a new calm sarcasm.One of the crowning moments lyrically comes on "Forgotten," which discusses the band's view of Beverly Hills and the chaotic style of life people endure there. Although the line "Beverly Hills, nuclear winter, what should we wear and who's for dinner?" may seem to be a grim outlook for the California coast, they call the city "paradise" one verse later.The lead single, "Will Do" doesn't have the same energetic backing of earlier hits such as "Wolf Like Me," but it stands with the best songs they've ever released. With an enchanting beat backing words of seduction, "Will Do" may not be your everyday TV on the Radio track, but the band seems to master any style they choose."Nine Types of Light" has a lot to like for fans both new and old. The overall mood is more laid back than their earlier records, but the crisp production and tight arrangements are as present as ever. Adebimpe and Malone's vocals balance each other perfectly, keeping the lyrics in focus while allowing the music an equally important role. Their earlier releases may remain favorites of longtime fans, but "Nine Types of Light" is the perfect starting point for new listeners and it's sure to increase their ever-growing fan base.Track Suggestion: "Will Do" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nine Types of Right *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2011* Here's to a band unafraid to change. A band not threatened by the loss of those hardcore Brooklyn hipster "fans" who maintain the band's integrity has lessened with each new release - as TVotR's music evolved from a progressive, free-flowing noise rock (Desperate Youth) to a melodic, soulful jazz and dance rock. As such, Light is their softest, subtlest and most nuanced album to date. Not to worry the dance grooves and incredibly gripping and sexy vocal harmonies of Tunde and Kyp are at the core of this album. The layers of this album keep you coming back for another listen. The true fan will appreciate this album an expanding endeavor from one of the most genuine bands writing music today.It is noteworthy to point out they have produced a full length film with the same name that further births these songs into our minds and reveals just how deep this band's artist vision really goes.Outstanding tracks include: Will Do, Second Song, Caffeinated Consciousness, No Future Shock, Killer Crane ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Stuff! *by H***2 on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019* TV on the Radio are criminally underrated. Just about every song on this CD is a quality work.
