Dancing On The Edge, Again

Before it starts to lose steam near the end, the B-52's Funplex accomplishes what the band always did: nervy, dancey energy for a world on the edge. Only this time it's not the Cold War of the late 70's/early 80's that drives their beats, it's the post 9/11 uncertainty of today that does. They have their usual political moments, but you'll be dancing too much to notice. And that's always been the beauty of the B-52's.
