When word first leaked that Talking Head honcho David Byrne was slated to produce the new B-52's album, it made about as big a splash as Cartoonland's first mute penguin. Pairing Barney Google with such an impeccably trashy, intentionally fun outfit sounded like the snorestorm of the year.

When word first leaked that Talking Head honcho David Byrne was slated to produce the new B-52�s album, it made about as big a splash as Cartoonland�s first mute penguin. Pairing Barney Google with such an impeccably trashy, intentionally fun outfit sounded like the snorestorm of the year. B-52�s fans everywhere took Shirley Feeney�s advice and said grace under the table.
I think it�s OK to come out now. Byrne has pretty much kept his mitts off the merchandise, sticking to separating and defining activities as though he had one monstrous orb on the charts.
No problem there. The most popular fear—that he�d riddle the product with jungle jelly or Bush Of Ghosts scare tactics—turned out to be dud fear. There are some extra percussion sounds and special effects, but not enough to make you feel like you�re at a pygmy acidhead reunion.
