Just Fred (1996)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Fred Schneider

FRED SCHNEIDER Just Fred (Reprise) Listening to the B-52's for 19 years can agitate anyone — even band vocalist-keyboardist Fred Schneider, who has sublimated his pent-up aggression into a solo punk project. Just Fred juxtaposes his trademark whine with rhythmic scree, from the bluesy stomp of ''Helicopter'' to the bluster of ''Bad Dream.'' Quirky and loud. B
