On FEVER IN, FEVER OUT, Luscious Jackson abandons the hip-hop poses that dominated their debut, NATURAL INGREDIENTS, for a smoother, more atmospheric sound exemplified by lead single (and hit) "Naked Eye." On the rest of the album, the band balances a seamless groove with eclectic sonic textures, as on the languid "Why Do I Lie?" and the dub-meets-the-Doors flavored "Take a Ride." Though FEVER IN, FEVER OUT lacks a truly bracing cut on the level of "City Song" or "In Search of Manny," there isn't a clunker in the bunch.
Editorial Reviews
...[Luscious Jackson] successfully achieve a sound that rejects earlier Beastie Boys linkages for pomo pop a la U2 or Sheryl Crow....They've simply replaced one type of pop functionalism--subcultural correctness--for another: songcraft...
Spin (02/01/1997)
4 Stars (out of 5) - ...this collection of trippy swing is more transcendent, less aggressive than earlier material...This is LJ at their most seamless, high and rising.
Q (05/01/1997)
...a more curvaceous Luscious Jackson abandon the shaky, hip hop-flavored fervor...for a more mature brand of melodiousness...
Vibe (12/01/1996)
3 (out of 5) - ...When everything clicks, the mood approaches the subtle, but compelling tension of Anna Domino's best work...
