ABOUT THE RECORD Cosmic Thing, by new wave band The B-52's, features the hit singles Love Shack and Roam, which remain two of their most popular tunes. The success of the album served as a comeback after the death of former guitarist Ricky Wilson in 1985. 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. Cosmic Thing and Channel Z are 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." The album has been certified 4x Platinum in the US, and peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.
