As first envisioned, Brilliant was a promising act: a more soulful take on the aggressive funk-rock of Killing Joke, led by ex-Joke bassist Youth. But after being signed to a major label (WEA) and getting the star treatment, which included being matched with the ultra-slick production team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman, Brilliant came up with a generic pop-dance album that fell well short of the original concept. There are certainly entertaining moments--the jazzy reggae remake of James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" is a nice idea, livened up by Annie Whitehead's trombone solo, while dance tracks like "Somebody" and the title cut pack enough punch to suggest how much better the album would have been with more organic production.
