Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: 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:  - Musically BrilliantUnlike the first reviewer, I buy vinyl because it has the edge over CD musically and for no other reason. Yes I agree the packaging is dire, but the music on the record itself is far more mature and accomplished than the first album. It leaves me feeling refreshed due to the bounce and fun of the lyrics and the bands desire to prove that music does'nt have to be serious. I rate this very highly. MUSIC is important not the sleeve. Rating:  - Dont buy it on vinyl....If you buy vinyl because you love the look and feel of an album...beware this one. This is a terrible effort at a vinyl record, the sleeve is shiny and nasty and the images are.....horrible. The record company have totally failed to add design to the sleeve or inner to any extend,,,its just like a big shiny CD cover, and the photography is YUK. If you like corny Marillion style album covers....its even worse than that...in fact now I own this I admire Marillion covers......very poor effort Mr Record Comany. I own over 300 Vinyl albums, I NEVER sell them, but if I ever do...this one will go first, I wish I had bought it on CD.......It looks AWFUL! Considering the funky image of the band...its a huge disappointement ...

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 one, add it ... Read More: |
