Advantages: Better than Bouncing Off Satellites. Boppy and updeat.

Disadvantages: Nothing new in this album, same silly lyrics and plastic sounding tracks. Irritating at best.

Fans of The B-52s will probably really like this album, much better than Bouncing Off the Satellites. Although I still really like this band. This album is a return their earlier style (before Ricky Wilson died).

I will admit that their sound is a tiny bit more updated in this album but it still isnt really anything special in my opinion. I will say that it is very up-beat and boppy (which is something fans probably really like about this band). But I have to say that I found the electric synthesizer 'twangy' sound really annoying and a constant back ground reiteration of the lyrics is also really irritating. Although I think that Cindy Wilson's vocals can be really lovely at times, in some of the songs they are a bit whiny and aggravating.

The lyrics are not much more developed than the hay-day of Love Shack (a tune I actually do like of theirs-who doesnt). But in their defence I think the band does aim for frivelous lyrics, so I guess I cant critisize them for this too much.

If you are a fan of this band then I honestly think you will love this album but if you have never heard of them, then consider yourself lucky and honestly dont waste your time/money on this album.

Summary: I think kids and people who like Aqua will like this band/album. For the rest of you-steer clear!
