Many observers were prepared to write off the B-52's after the release of Bouncing Off the Satellites. Granted, the album was completed in the wake of Ricky Wilson's death, but the group appeared bereft of new musical ideas and were sounding rather stale. In other words, the last thing anyone expected was a first-class return to form, which is what they got with Cosmic Thing. Working with producers Don Was and Nile Rodgers, the B-52's updated their sound with shiny new surfaces and deep, funky grooves -- it was the same basic pattern as before, only refurbished and contemporized. Just as importantly, they had their best set of songs since at least Wild Planet, possibly since their debut. "Cosmic Thing" and "Channel Z" were great up-tempo rockers; "Roam" had a groovy beat blessed with a great Cindy Wilson vocal; and "Deadbeat Club" was one of their rare successful reflective numbers. Then there was "Love Shack," an irresistible dance number with delightfully silly lyrics and hooks as big as a whale that unbelievably gave the group a long-awaited Top Ten hit. The thing is, Cosmic Thing would already have been considered a triumphant return without its commercial success. The big sales were just the icing on the cake.

Hey Butterbean lets take a trip with 52 Girls to 53 Miles West of Venus. We’ll call Big Bird at 6060-842 on Channel Z. Its a Cosmic Thing Debbie up here on Moon 83 next to Planet Claire looking down on Revolution Earth. Its the Summer of Love Junebug and this Party Out of Bound leaves us Hallucinating Pluto while we listen to THE WORLDS GREEN LAUGHTER. Is That You Mo-Dean? Watch the Girl From Ipanema Goes to Greenland where its a Dry County with Dirty Back Roads and a Devil In My Car. We have no Legal Tender but we DanceThis Mess Around in the Love Shack waiting for some Good Stuff. Quiche Loraine called and wants her Wig back while She Brakes For Rainbows we Nip It In The Bud with a Whammy Kiss under the Strobe Light while asking her to Give Me Back My Man. But she’s Queen of Las Vegas singing a Song For a Future Generation. So Throw that Beat In the Garbage Can and Work That Skirt because this is one Hot Corner in our own Private Idaho. Theres a Bush Fire Downtown at the Funplex so everyone get Pump and wear some Topaz and get ready to ride the Trism. Please tell IT LIKE IT T. I. IS Thanks to the B-52’s for Bouncing Us off The Satellites leaving us Nude on the Beach craving a Rock Lobster and bringing us to Mesopotamia. They gave us some Dang Good Stuff so please Follow Your Bliss while having a HOT PANTS EXPLOSION because theres Love in the Year 3000 so come on boys and put them in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame…...

Find it hard to believe that it is a quarter of a century since I bought this, in vinyl. I like all the tracks, and I'm a tough room. Such fun, and some of them are .... well, Junebug, and Topaz!
