Follow for Now is the debut and only studio album by the American rock band Follow for Now, released in 1991.
Reception
AllMusic noted that the band may have deserved constant comparisons to Living Colour that it had received from the press, but also noted the influence of Public Enemy and Bad Brains. Critic Rick Anderson concluded that Follow for Now "is a tight, hard, very funky band that stands easily on its own despite obvious influences," and called the album "an auspicious debut." Rolling Stone noted that Follow for Now exhibited "a wide-ranging mastery of rock styles" and found additional influences from Cream, Love, and Anthrax. Another reviewer praised the charismatic vocals of David Ryan Harris and Hendrix-like persona of guitarist Chris Tinsley.{{Cite web |last=Lee |first=Cosmo |date=February 13, 2007 |title=Follow for Now – Self-Titled |url=http://www.invisibleoranges.com/follow-for-now-self-titled/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307045351/http://www.invisibleoranges.com/follow-for-now-self-titled/ |archive-date=March 7, 2016 |access-date=October 29, 2019 |website=Invisible Oranges |language=en-US}} The album was also noted for its mix of "R&B, funk, hip hop, a little psychedelia, and a hint of metal."{{Cite web|url=https://ripplemusic.blogspot.com/2008/01/follow-for-now-follow-for-now.html|title=The Ripple Effect: Follow For Now - Follow For Now|last=Effect|first=The Ripple|date=January 18, 2008|website=The Ripple Effect|access-date=October 29, 2019}}
