What the Critics Say
Out of nowhere, the B-52's had a genuine hit single -- as in a single that went all the way to number three, not just one that was an underground hit -- with "Love Shack," athe irresistible second single from Cosmic Thing that showcased all three lead vocalists to fine effect. Since it was a hit, however, "Love Shack" became the most recycled and reissued B-52's single since "Love Shack." This version is the CD single that appeared in America. It contained familiar variations of "Love Shack" -- "12-inch remix," an edit of the remix, the "12-inch mix," "the Big Radio Mix" -- plus the new "A Cappella" mix and the "Channel Z (12-inch Rock Mix)." Clearly, this latter single was the best bargain of all the "Love Shack" singles, but most fans -- and if you're not a hardcore collector, you probably just want the hit, not all the remixes -- will likely just want to stick with Cosmic Thing to hear this great single. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
