Time Capsule is an excellent, 18-track collection that offers a comprehensive overview of
the B-52's' career, from their kitschy
post-punk beginnings to their unexpected chart success in the early '90s. Along the way, all the big songs --
"Planet Claire," "Rock Lobster," "Private Idaho," "Quiche Lorraine," "Summer of Love" (in its original mix),
"Channel Z," "Deadbeat Club," "Love Shack," "Roam," "Good Stuff" -- are here, making this an ideal choice for casual fans. For collectors, there are two new cuts (
"Debbie," "Hallucinating Pluto") which are fine, but not particularly noteworthy outside of the fact they're only available on this disc. Then again, the very idea behind
Time Capsule is to provide a concise introduction for the curious, and on that level, it works perfectly.
