1980 studio album by the B-52's
Wild Planet album by American new wave band the B-52's , released in 1980 by Warner Bros. Records .
As with their first album, the B-52's traveled to Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas to record Wild Planet .[2] [citation needed
Film director Gus Van Sant later referred to the song "Private Idaho " in the title of his 1991 film My Own Private Idaho [3]
Reception [ edit ]
Commercial [ edit ]
Wild Planet charted for 27 weeks on the Billboard 200[11] Wild Planet was certified Gold by the RIAA .[2]
Critical [ edit ]
Billboard Wild Planet a positive review, calling it an improvement over the band's debut album and "a cinch for hot rotation in rock-oriented discos".[12] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice Party Out of Bounds ' and 'Quiche Lorraine' are expert entertainments at best and the wacko parochialism of 'Private Idaho ' is a positive annoyance. Only on 'Devil in My Car' and 'Give Me Back My Man ' do they exploit the potential for meaning—cosmic and emotional, respectively—that accrues to the world's greatest new-wave kiddie-novelty disco-punk band."[13] Rolling Stone [14] Trouser Press [15]
In a retrospective review for AllMusic , David Cleary thought the songs were "faster, tighter, and punchier than previously, though production values are not as wonderfully quirky and detailed", and highlighted the "cunning mix of girl group, garage band, surf, and television theme song influences, all propelled along by an itchy dance beat."[4]
