专辑介绍

美国老牌后朋克乐队The B-52's的首张专辑，这张专辑作为地下摇滚作品尝试推出之后，市场反应非常良好，于是又随后进入了英国和其它海外市场，在澳大利亚市场尤其成功，成为了白金唱片。

这张专辑的风格属于朋克新浪潮，在7、80年代的另类摇滚中具有重要的地位。有人说，这张专辑就像是把一群高中生的说笑吵闹灌进了唱片。从第一首歌曲开始，他/她们那精彩而又带有神秘色彩的和声以及洒脱不羁的演唱风格就给人留下了非常深刻的印象。

本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第152位。

Even in the weird, quirky world of new wave and post-punk in the late '70s, the B-52's' eponymous debut stood out as an original. Unabashed kitsch mavens at a time when their peers were either vulgar or stylish, the Athens quintet celebrated all the silliest aspects of pre-Beatles pop culture -- bad hairdos, sci-fi nightmares, dance crazes, pastels, and anything else that sprung into their minds -- to a skewed fusion of pop, surf, avant-garde, amateurish punk, and white funk. On paper, it sounds like a cerebral exercise, but it played like a party. The jerky, angular funk was irresistibly danceable, winning over listeners dubious of Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson's high-pitched, shrill close harmonies and Fred Schneider's campy, flamboyant vocalizing, pitched halfway between singing and speaking. It's all great fun, but it wouldn't have resonated throughout the years if the group hadn't written such incredibly infectious, memorable tunes as "Planet Claire," "Dance This Mess Around," and, of course, their signature tune, "Rock Lobster." These songs illustrated that the B-52's' adoration of camp culture wasn't simply affectation -- it was a world view capable of turning out brilliant pop singles and, in turn, influencing mainstream pop culture. It's difficult to imagine the endless kitschy retro fads of the '80s and '90s without the B-52's pointing the way, but The B-52's isn't simply an historic artifact -- it's a hell of a good time.
