Figures on a Beach

Figures on a Beach's eponymous 1989 contains their two best-known songs: "Accidentally 4th St. (Gloria)," the awesome song which interested me in this album, and a remake of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" which would become their biggest pop hit. As Figures on a Beach is a group who never quite struck it big, or even developed a significant cult following, I had no real idea what to expect from the album as a whole. I was pleased to find that it's pretty solid. Not every track could stand alone, but there are a few very strong ones on there besides the aforementioned two, including "(Don't Make Me) Nervous" and "The Wheel." My favorite remains "Absolutely 4th St.," however.

Tracks:
1. Accidentally 4th St. (Gloria)
2. Flex
3. (Don't Make Me) Nervous
4. Clamdiggin'
5. The Wheel
6. You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
7. Independence Day
8. Mystified
9. Get Serious
10. Welfare
11. Green
