The B52's - Love Shack

phoenixens

Review by Marcos Paulo González Otero

The B-52's album Love Shack is a classic in the world of alternative rock music. Released in 1989, the album features the band's signature sound of quirky, upbeat rock music infused with elements of new wave and punk.

The album's title track, Love Shack, is perhaps the most well-known song from the album and remains a staple of 80s and 90s dance parties to this day. The song's infectious chorus, catchy melody, and playful lyrics make it impossible not to dance along.

But Love Shack is more than just its title track. The album also features a number of other standout tracks, including the funky Roam, the frenetic Wig, and the dreamy Topaz. Each song on the album showcases the band's unique sound and style, making Love Shack a must-listen for any fan of alternative rock.

With the mix, it's easy to hear how the synth riff in the chorus sounds like "Uptight" by Stevie Wonder (example at 7:08)!

I worked at a Radio Shack in 1992. My manager got three stereo systems with 12 inch woofers to play from a single CD player...cranked it up...loud enough to knock some shoes off the wall in the Foot Locker! The acoustics in that mall...epic.

This version is the best! Best lyric in this song is "Everybody's grooving." Ricky Helton Wilson, he was born March 19th, 1953 in Athens, Georgia, and died of AIDS on October 12th, 1985 in New York City; at the age of 32 years, 6 months, and 26 days old. God rest his soul!!
