On first look a classic example of the sophomore slump, TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN had the unfortunate job of following the Spin Doctors’ multi-platinum smash, POCKET FULL OF KRYPTONITE, and predictably bombed in comparison. Ironically, however, the Docs’ second album was chock-full of exactly the kind of funky, fun material (and in some cases, as with “Big Fat Funky Booty,” the actual material) that originally made the band darlings of the late-1980s Nightingale Bar-centered New York City club scene. Good-time music with an emphasis on the power of the groove, TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN is all about a bar band's sacred mission: to get people out on the dance floor and keep them there, drinking and whooping it up. If the record unfortunately signaled the band’s mainstream downward spiral, at least it showcased them going out as they came in--partying the night away.
