     Reversing course from the kaleidoscopic pop of Fever in Fever Out, Electric
     Honey finds Luscious Jackson narrowing their focus, concentrating more on
     groove and texture than full-fledged songs. This isn't necessarily a bad
     thing, since their albums always had strong rhythm, but Electric Honey
     tends to float away. Somewhere along the way, Luscious Jackson smoothed out
     all their quirks and grit, shaping their sound into an appealingly funky,
     multilayered, post-alternative pop groove. On the surface, or as background
     music, it's quite pleasing, but it's never really compelling, especially
     since many of the songs are never really about anything -- which is
     especially frustrating since the opening pair of "Nervous Breakthrough" and
     "Ladyfingers" are terrific continuations of Fever In. After that opening,
     Electric Honey doesn't begin to unravel as much as it settles into its own
     mire, recycling sounds familiar from its two predecessors, while offering
     slight songs about "Summer Daze," "Sexy Hypnotist"s, "Friends," "Alien
     Lover"s, and "Space Diva"s. The fluffiness of the songs wouldn't matter if
     each song had its own distinct feel. Instead, the entire album is
     variations on a groove -- breezy and enjoyable, to be sure, but
     nevertheless a little too lightweight to really take hold. Lightweight
     songwriting also suggests that Luscious Jackson may be running out of
     ideas, and it's hard to shake the impression that no matter how enjoyable
     certain parts of Electric Honey are, it finds the band treading water, not
     breaking new ground.
