THE B-52’S – WILD PLANET – MOBILE FIDELITY VINYL
Party Out of Bounds! Eclectic Group's Sophomore Album the Equal of Its Smash Debut
Party out of bounds!

Completely up to task in following up their kitschy debut, the B-52's step everything up a notch: Songwriting, humor, exaggeration, melodies, hooks, and group interplay. Wild Planet also finds the band embracing stronger psychedelic accents that seamlessly mesh with its lava-lamp colors and textures. What an album.
