The B-52's - Good Stuff

This CD is lacking Cindy Wilson. Down to three '2s. It's more pop-oriented than the last one, but sadly the melodies aren't up to par. Several of them try to do a dreamy meditation hypnosis type vibe, but they're mostly just booooooorrrrrring! It's got a couple winners ("Revolution Earth" is beautiful), but the schtick has gotten old. Nobody cares anymore. Maybe they should have called it a day when Ricky passed away. He was the one with the cool guitar style; the guitarwork on this is just bland. It's not a BAD album, mind you. It still sounds like The B-52's, who still don't completely sound like anybody else (because of the vocals). It's just not worth buying when there are so many other B-52's albums that are similar but a bit more consistent.
Since it's been six years since this album came out, I'm going to go out on a limb in my front yard and piss on cars.
