Free Music Notes for Electric Honey

Free Music Review: (((((Their Best Yet)))))
Hit: 5 Stars

What is it exactly about "Electric Honey" that makes it so wonderful? Well, first, the songwriting is simply top-notch. LJ can put more hooks into a 3-minute song than pushpins on my beige cubicle wall. Next, the album takes every style LJ has perfected since its freshman EP, "In Search of Manny," and puts them all in one place. There's the dance `til you drop rhythm ("Nervous Breakthrough" and "Ladyfingers"), the laid-back hangin' on the summer stoop vibe ("Friends," "Beloved" and "Summer Daze"), the full-throttle rock attack ("Alien Lover," "Devotion" and "Fantastic Fabulous," featuring the fantastic fabulous Debbie Harry), and even some electronica thrown into the mix ("Christine" and "Gypsy"). We also get a couple of tracks which would have fit nicely on "Manny" ("Sexy Hypnotist" and "Country's A Callin'"), which should make old-time LJ fans smile.

Of course, this is just my long-winded way of saying that "Electric Honey" is Luscious Jackson's best record yet. Buy it! (A+)
