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. The fluffiness of the songs wouldn't matter if each song had its own distinct feel. 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. Luscious Jackson - Electric (Letras y cancin para escuchar) - What do you feel when you look into my eyes baby / Does it come to you as a surprise / I. 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. 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.

The mystical drum-and-bass-flavored “Christine,” get-up-and-groove “Nervous Breakthrough,” and rock-me-stupid “Fantastic Fabulous” are examples of just how many different musical paths Luscious Jackson can fearlessly dance down. Scattered samples of flutes, deliciously lazy guitars, and the occasional cry of a rooster are mixed in for a little somthin’ extra. The ladies are experimenting with a broader range of hip-hop, dance, and rock, giving the album more textured energy.
Drummer Kate Schellenbach gets back to the harder, crisper beats that were absent on the band’s previous release, Fever In Fever Out. The smooth, smoky vocals of Gabrielle Glaser are a perfect contrast to the higher and lighter singing of Jill Cunniff. During their time off from Luscious Jackson, Jill Cunniff released her debut solo album City Beach and Gabby Glaser released her debut solo album Gimme Splash.
