New wave with some post-punk influences...
...and they could have benefited from more of the latter. Upon first hearing, this best of is original, funny, happy; upon second hearing, it already runs the risk of becoming boring. That's because The B-52's tabled a lot on original vocals and hollers and having had to invent with every new song, they stopped creating and resorted to simply covering their own findings; they should have known that there's so much you can invent without having to reinvent yourself. Hence, with time their originality sounds forced. All songs are fairly good, some are great, but by the time you've gone round the best of, they all start sounding the same. No matter, it will be a good car album.
