The Voice of the Beehive album can best be described as "The Bangles
play the B-52's greatest hits".  The vocals are definitely
Bangles-esque, while the music sounds closer (though not identical) to
the B-52's.  By far the best two songs on the album are "Don't Call me
Baby" and "I Say Nothing", though there are at least a few other
interesting songs.  I'm not familiar enough with the album yet to name
them, though.

If you are into ditzy girl groups, though, they seem to be at least
worth checking out.

I think the Edie Brickell song, "What I Am" is most annoying.  I don't
want to hear the album.
