Review by shamim hossain

"Private Idaho" is the fifth studio album by the American rock band, B52's. Released in 1980, the album features a unique blend of new wave, punk, and rock, showcasing the band's signature quirky style and playful lyrics.

The album opens with the catchy and upbeat "Party Out of Bounds," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include the title track "Private Idaho," which features a driving beat and infectious chorus, and "Give Me Back My Man," a sultry, danceable tune.

The B-52's' vocals are as distinct as ever, with Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson trading off on lead vocals and Fred Schneider's distinctive spoken-word style adding a fun element to the mix. The band's use of unconventional instruments such as the organ and cowbell add to the overall unique sound.

This is definitely on my top favorite 20 songs ... Hard to make that list the B-52's just have such an amazing sound it's "new wave" I guess but it's surf rock with an eerie sound and the vocals are just mixed together so good can't help but get down to their jams, they remind me of a tighter and cleaner version of the Cramps in a lot of ways.
