Product Description
From Amazon.com
Taken in one concentrated best-of dose, it becomes evident what a coup the B-52's pulled off when they turned their own concentrated craziness into genuine hits. This is some of the weirdest stuff ever to make the charts, much less be loved by the masses. It's all here though--the mad surf guitar of Ricky Wilson (and later Keith Strickland), the banshee wails of Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, and, of course, the, um, well, let's say vocalizing of freaky Fred Schneider. "Party out of Bounds" with a "Rock Lobster" on "Planet Claire," or "Roam" over to the "Love Shack" in "Private Idaho." Whatever you do in the B-52's universe will at least be good, clean, perverse fun. Contains two new songs. --Michael Ruby
Entertainment Weekly
The two new songs are fine, but it's obvious that for the B-52's the future ain't what it used to be.

This review is from: Time Capsule (Audio CD)
Time Capsule-Songs for a Futur by B-52'sthis album is full of fun music, old club dance music. personally my favorite song is planet Claire. i think most will remember love shack. the music was in the new wave electro punk phase. they created their own niche. i'm not saying their a excellent band but memorable. their music is pretty simple, lyrics goofy but they created a good deal of buzz. check them out.

Party Down & Roam,
By Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Capsule (Audio CD)
I sometimes wonder all the way about party bands, and the organic vibes they've conjured up. It all just seems to be exactly the same thing to me. Particualrly today, it all just seems to be so overmanufactured and overproduced, you can't seem to tell what is actually real and what isn't real. Still, there is no party band in my mind that seems to show it more than the B-52's. Although they've seen some highs and lows in their lives, they honestly can make the right kind of tunes to get up and dance to. Fred, Kate and company definitely are the party animals here.Time Capsule: Songs For A Future Genertion, consists of 18 great songs from the B-52's lineup. The songs fit very well here, but at often times can party you down a little bit. Still, the formula of great dance songs fits well here for newcomers to their music, like myself, and die hard fanatics of the B-52's. There are just so many great dance classics here, including the #1 signature song, Love Shack, as well as Roam, Private Idaho, and the funky Rock Lobster. Arguably, the songs are great, and still beats what is hot on the dance floor today. Still, it is just a shame that people don't respect these songs, and think of them as a guilty pleasure. They're alright to me, but could've offered lyrics to all 18 of these crafted tunes. Many people don't seem to play the B-52's anymore, and how wild and wacky those songs simply are. Still, it does beat manufactured artists Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez anyday. Get your jukebox money, and buy this album all the way down to the love shack baby!!! This review is dedicated in loving memory of my relationship with my sister Anna

It's all "Good Stuff".,

This review is from: Time Capsule (Audio CD)
The second best band from Athens Georgia (after R.E.M.), the "B-52's" have a sound that you can't not like. It's retro happy weird sing-a-long music, and the two women have great voices to match it. The only thing that you could hate, or love, is Fred, who more or less talks his way through alot of the songs, kind of like that guy from "The Sugarcubes", but less annoying. This far-out and lengthy collection includes the big hits "Rock Lobster", "Private Idaho", and of course "Loveshack". My faves are "Mesopotamia" and "Song For A Future Generation", but they're all good. I wish this had another track from "Cosmic Thing", but no biggie. My suggestion would be to turn off "Channel Z", turn on your "Strobe Light", "Roam" where you want to, "Party Out Of Bounds", and join the "Deadbeat Club".
