Album Review

For fans bowled over by their debut disc's heady and minimalist mix of tribal percussion, expressionist camp, and distinctly un-ska-like songs (scant residuals here from the trio's time with the Specials), Fun Boy Three's second album, Waiting, with its slicker production and decidedly more pop-flavored sound, was probably something of a shock. But what an enjoyable jolt it was. Along with the Terry Hall-penned "Our Lips Are Sealed" (also a Go-Go's hit), other highlights include the cinematically tango-tinged "Things We Do" and the spookily playful "We're Having All the Fun." The disc also features plenty of the band's wry and spot-on lyrics, which range from the comical strains of the ganja cut "Farm Yard Connecting" to an account of child m*********n in "Fancy That." Topped off with David Byrne's fine production work, Waiting ranks way beyond the second-rate status it often gets saddled with.

A Rare Gem from ITunes

This is The Fun Boy Three. Terry Hall from The Specials comes up with a rare gem of an album. All of the songs in this album will bring you back to the 80s when alternative music meant something and sounded BEAUTIFUL. Get this album. This is already an out of print album whether vinyl or CD. THANK YOU ITUNES for getting the rights and licensing to this album.

Our Lips are Sealed is a great alt. song from the Go Go's

Great Album!

Pure 80's but totally fresh at the time... It should be noted that the proper title for track 5 is, "Farmyard Connection". Cleverly written and musically brilliant. Great college memories!

Their popularity culminated with the prophetic "Ghost Town," which spent three weeks at number one in the summer of 1981. The "Ghost Town" single was the last to feature Terry Hall and the original lineup — after its release Hall split along with the group's other two vocalists, Lynval Golding and Neville Staples, to form the Fun Boy Three.
