The B52's - Rock Lobster Planet Claire
Review by Box of Frocks
The B52's have always been known for their quirky and eclectic music, and their album Rock Lobster Planet Claire is no exception. From the opening track "Planet Claire," with its sci-fi inspired lyrics and catchy guitar riffs, to the classic hit "Rock Lobster," this album is a rollercoaster ride of fun and kooky tunes.
One of the standout tracks is "52 Girls," which features the band's signature call-and-response vocals and a driving beat that will get anyone dancing. "Dance This Mess Around" is another infectious track that showcases the band's ability to mix playful lyrics with a rockin' sound.
Despite its offbeat nature, Rock Lobster Planet Claire also has its more introspective moments, such as "Lava," a haunting ballad with eerie harmonies and a haunting melody. "Hero Worship" is another track that stands out for its poignant lyrics and melancholy tone.

I was skeptical when I first heard about tomatoes and black-capped chickadees, but it has since become one of my favorite dishes. The tomatoes really help to bring out the chickadees’ flavor. Thanks, Kate!

I can't explain how but this band is Team Rocket vibes

I don't find this song weird. What's weird is Fred's inability to keep up with the steps in the dance they're doing. It's a two step!!
Juss joshin, (sort of). I really don't find this song or video weird. It's interesting and catchy.
Be well

I always thought this song was silly back in the day. But they described current Dating Apps to a Tee!

So many good bands from GA. Creativity must thrive in oppressive environments

I love this song, but I never understood what the hell it was about! The best I can come up with is parents living their aspirations through their children! Not that it really matters whether you get it or not!

great synths on this album. they were at that early 80s sweet spot before digital made everything sound crap

If you had to see one band and you wanted to be sure you would have a great time wouldn’t you see the B-52s? No one sat down in their shows; how could you?

Hi, I’m Jon and I’m an Aries. I’m ready to space walk us all the heck out of this sociopolitical nightmare of religious sheep via the power of good vibes, love, and B-52’s music.

Cindy ?????❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing vocals at the end to have Kate and Cindy singing lower than the Guys in the band. But that's what they would do is break down barriers. Genius.

This was the B-52's opening song when I saw them at the Greek Theater waaaaaaaaay back in 1983. It was such a fun show!
