Music reviews of Greatest Hits
Music Review: A pretty good overview
Rating: 4 Stars
Luscious Jackson may not have been the most ground-breaking influential band of all-time, but they were still pretty damn cool.
Over the course of eight years, the band--Jill Cunniff, (bass, guitar, vocals) Gabby Glaser, (guitar) Vivian Trimble, (keyboards) and Kate Schellenbach (drums) released one EP "In Search of Manny" (1992) and three albums "Natural Ingredients," (1994) "Fever In, Fever Out" (1996) and "Electric Honey" (1999) (which Trimble didn't play on). While the band started out as a sort of "female Beastie Boys" on their EP and debut album, their music became slightly more commercial and radio-friendly with their last two albums.
Overall, "Greatest Hits" (2007) does a pretty good capturing the best of LJ, even if it slightly misses the mark.
My biggest compliant with "Greatest Hits" is that it includes only one song from "In Search of Manny," the opening "Let Yourself Get Down." It actually wouldn't have been a bad idea to just have included all seven songs from the "In Search of Manny" EP, as all seven songs stand as some of the band's best work and the EP is, overall, the band's finest hour. Too many okay-but-not-great songs like "Love is Here" and the pointless remixes are included when the band could have been much better served by including the entire debut EP (clocking in at under 25 minutes, the band's other three albums still could still have been fairly represented). Since "In Search of Manny" is now out-of-print, including the entire EP here would have made it all the more desirable. It also would have been cool if a few songs from the outstanding "Klassics with a K" (1995) album had been included (a side project from Cunniff and Trimble's band the Kostars).
I also kind of wish the music from the GAP commercial had been thrown in (yeah it's only 30 seconds, but it was still infectious!)
All complaints aside, this compilation is still pretty good, gathering all their hits and essential songs from their three major studio albums. Songs like "Naked Eye," "Here," "Under Your Skin," "Deep Shag," "Ladyfingers" etc. have held up really well. If you are just a casual LJ fan, this compilation is will serve you well, although one is advised to check out the used CD bins and pick up the "In Search of Manny" EP.
Even if you already own all three albums and the EP, "Greatest Hits" is still worth picking up as it contains some hard-to-find songs like "Love is Here" and "69 Annee Erotique." The four remixes "Lady Fingers," "Naked Eye," "Why Do I Lie" and "Nervous Breakthrough" don't really do much for me personally, but they should be of interest to those interested in dance-type remixes.
