New York Fever (album)

New York Fever is an album by the American band the Toasters, released in 1992.

[7][1] Trouser Press wrote that the album "gets off to a tremendous start with the tight, energetic title track and the swaggering groove and social commentary of 'Ploughshares into Guns' ... After that one-two punch, though, tight musicianship takes the place of solid songwriting.

"[9] The Kitchener-Waterloo Record opined that "the production on this album is superb, with the bass runs punctuating rather than rolling.

"[10] The Arizona Daily Star called the album "funny, fun and insightful," writing that it "incorporates elements of funk, township jive, calypso and dance-hall music.

"[11] AllMusic noted that "the songwriting could be a bit more polished and melodic in places instead of relying on the group's admittedly fine instrumental work.
