Beat Crazy is the third album by Joe Jackson, released in October 1980 and credited to the Joe Jackson Band.[1] It was a relative disappointment commercially, peaking outside the Top 40 in both the UK and the United States, with its singles failing to chart.[2] One reason for the reduced sales in the U.S. may have been that the group did not tour to support it there.[2] Nevertheless, the Joe Jackson Band was successful and toured extensively.[2] This would be the last studio album released by the Joe Jackson Band's original line-up until 2003's Volume 4.[3]
Background
Beat Crazy was intended to be a stylistic departure from Jackson's first two albums but as he recalled, the band lacked a clear direction during the recording. Jackson later stated that he felt the record "didn't really work".[4] He explained,
Musically, the album saw the band take in reggae and ska influence as seen on songs such as "In Every Dream Home", "Mad at You", and "Pretty Boys".[5]
