Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The second album by New York City's Scissor Sisters, Ta-Dah, brings with it a huge weight of expectations. After all, their debut album slowly rode up the charts in 2004 to become that year's biggest selling album. The good news is that, like their debut, Ta-Dah is packed full of witty, grown-up pop music. Their influences remain the same, including a bit of 1970's disco and glam rock, a bit of classic Fleetwood Mac and a bit of early Elton John (who plays piano on the ultra-catchy album opener "I Don't Feel Like Dancing"). Musically, it's easily as much fun as their debut: "Land of a Thousand Words" is an homage to the themes from the James Bond films, "She's My Man" tells the tale of a fabled female New Orleans river pirate, "Ooh" is the funkiest dance song never played at Studio 54 and "Kiss You Off" is a liberating break-up anthem sung by the band's Ana Matronic. Lyrically, though, Ta-Dah is not as full of the unchecked hedonism of their first album, with the vaudevillian "Intermission" proclaiming, "We were born to die." But even if the sentiment isn't particularly cheerful, the music definitely is. With Ta-Dah, the Scissor Sisters manage to be both big and clever, once again producing some of the smartest pop music you can dance to. --Ted Kord Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A hit factory of an albumunbelievably great album - I didn't think they could easily better their first one, but they have! The only let down is the packaging of this edition - it's fun to start with but difficult to store on your CD shelf! The Bonus tracks on disc 2 are worth the 2 or 3 extra quid. Rating:  - Brilliant feel-good album to get you dancin'I am a recent convert to the Scissor Sisters, having only got their first album a couple of months ago. I thought that was brilliant, but this is even better. It hasn't left the CD player since I bought it. The overall impression this album leaves on me is a brilliantly funky, feel-good vibe that makes me want to get up and part-ay. In a day-glo, skin-tight catsuit. It'll cheer you up at any time of day or night. Having said that, there are a couple of ballads and some less overtly funky disco tracks which are every bit as good as songs such as 'I don't feel like dancin', even though their style is very different. In fact, the variety of styles here is one of the great plusses of the album. I haven't listened ...

Packed full of infectious cheerfulness and singable lyrics just as brilliantly unique as their first self-titled album. This album though, while still retaining their retro pop glamour has clear influences from masses of sources. From Bugsy Malone in "I Can't Decide" to the 007 themes found in "Land of a Thousand Words" these influences float gorgeously into their album seamlessly. Tracks like "Ooh" and "Kiss you Off" show how this CD is so much more than a one-hit-wonder. I could not have wanted more from their second album after such an incredible entry into the charts. I currently recommend no other album over this ... Read More: Rating: - Give it time, it might disappoint initiallyWell, I was going to review the album a day or so after I bought it, and after not much listening. At that time, I would have given it about 2 stars. My expectations for a second album were extremely high, but I perhaps expected too much, too soon. I only speak for myself of course, but I felt the album took a little time to get into. A couple of weeks have now gone by, and I can't stop listening to it! This review ain't going to go into the merits of particular songs, or expose any knowledge I may have about the band. To put it simply, this is a great album that I'll no doubt listen to for a long time to come. Great fun :) Rating: - Scissor Sisters Slice The BeatWith the deserved help of Sir Elton John on, "I Don't Feel Like Dancing", The Scissor Sisters continue on their unique road to pop glory. This is more of the same glam-rock, disco, dance ballad mixture that got them noticed on their debut and it still manages to work. "Ta-Dah" is electric metrosexual Bee Gees, except the vocals are simply Scissor Sisters (and that's fine). The dance beat is not quite as funky as the Gibbs dance period, but it's much, much more current. There is no doubt that the Sisters have created a niche long lost thrown away and have brought new life to it. Sure, they aren't quite Blondie, the Bee Gees or Elton john, but they sure get damn close and with the mix of all of these influences, they soar on nearly every song ... Read More: |
