The B‐52’s

A Really fun record that I would love to revisit it soon

Wasn’t awful by any means but nothing really stuck out

I'll have whatever they're having! 💊
So deeply weird, but generally really good songs. Rock Lobster is a classic!

Damn cool.

4/5

De B-52s. Bekende naam. Maar waar zijn ze ook alweer van? Opzetten maar.

O, dat nummer. Dat is super fijn. Zo'n oud nummer dat fijn in veel moderne elektronische mixen een prima plek heeft weten te bemachtigen. Nou, nu heb ik wel zin in de rest.

Maar dan komt vanaf het volgende nummer een dame door de vrij relaxte muziek heen blèren. Zonde.

Af en toe wordt de muziek ook redelijk vervormd. Soms werkt het ook nog wel, het lijkt soms wel een soort vrolijk makende punk. Toch bijzonder. Het is een eigen geluid, kan ik ook niet omheen. Maar luisterplezier beleef ik er niet aan.

Het eerste nummer tilt het album naar een krappe voldoende.

B-52's was a pretty solid album. Even though this album did come out in the late 70s, it still feels so 80s and i still find that a really fun quirk of this album. The songs here are a pretty mixed bag though. There are some really good ones and some that i would remove if i were given the choice for one reason or another. Though the main thing that helps this album to be as good as it is has got to be Ricky Wilson, He is an absolute beast of a guitarist who pretty much does the majority of carrying this album. The other instruments and vocals were good too. This album is most definitely a good listen.
Best Song: There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)
Worst Song: Downtown

Wow man the B-52’s were way more surf rock-y than I imagined they’d be. Rock Lobster is a fun song. Overall though this was very same-y throughout and I got bored of it.

One of those albums I thought I knew, turns out it was only Rock Lobster. I like it more than I expected. I think there is a tendency in the UK to view them as purely a novelty act. So wrong.

So much more than (the quite annoying) Love Shack. Great look. Great stuff.

One star off for the unnecessary apostrophe in their name.

Early alternative important album.....nice.

Do I personally like this album? I don't know. Is it important? for us gays OF COURSE. You get a 5 just for existing.

Post-punk quirkiness ahoy. Punk spikiness combined with late 60s surf-rock vibes, I can well imagine that the reaction to this on release was "well, this isn't something I've heard before".

It's not all gold for sure, and Kate Pearson's finest work was obviously "Out of Time", but I have no beef with it being included on the list.

Wave Klassiker mit avantgardistischer bis skurriler Attitüde. „Planet Claire“ und „Dance This Mess Arround“ sind tolle Songs und habe die Blütezeit des Genres mit geprägt. Ein einfach tolles Album.

I wish I could have heard this with new ears to understand how truly weird and wonderful it is. Now I'm used to it, so I just think it's wonderful.

My wife always sings Love Shack and it drives me insane so I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed this album so much. The B-52's are nothing short of quirky but the music on this album is actually really good. It sometimes reminded me more of a punk sound like the Dead Kennedys but if they were wearing beehive hairdos. I really was surprised at how much I enjoyed this because Love Shack became so popular and kind of ruined any chance of me listening to their other stuff until now. I'm glad I did.

This album is a lot of fun. It's just a total bop from start to finish, and my foot was in a constant state of tapping. I like the groovy beats. I like the attitude. It's refreshing. This album will be making an appearance at some summer barbecues this year for sure.

4.5. I had no idea this was released in 79. Timeless.

Oh hell yeah now we’re talking, a great time the whole time. Only cowards skip the coda section of “Rock Lobster”

ihan hauska pop-rock-levy, mukavaa irrottelua mukana. 3/5

Nonsense, but enjoyable nonsense. Pretty samey, with one massive hit that stands out probably only because it is so well known. Good, but not great, but shows signs of something worth doing, and a chance of a good career (which they managed).
I think I'd probably prefer their greatest hits, which isn't usually the case for most bands.
