Good Stuff is the sixth studio album by American new wave band the B-52's, released in 1992 by Reprise Records.
It was conceived after the band's manager urged them to quickly issue a follow-up to their highly successful album Cosmic Thing (1989); it was created without founding member Cindy Wilson, who was on a temporary hiatus.
Good Stuff was created in the wake of the departure of B-52's singer and founding member Cindy Wilson, who left the band after an Earth Day performance in Central Park in 1990.
[3] Guitarist Keith Strickland later stated that Good Stuff came about when the band's management pushed them to record a quick follow-up to capitalize on the success of Cosmic Thing, despite them being "burnt out" and "exhausted" from touring.
[6] Elysa Gardner of Rolling Stone found the work of the two producers "impressively seamless", citing "Dreamland" and "Bad Influence" as highlights, and added that "[Kate] Pierson's richly textured vocals hold up just fine on their own" in light of the absence of Cindy Wilson.
