Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: love it Comment: LOVE IT. Get this and all the other Scissor Sister CD's. WELL worth it...they probably get the most play of all my ipod stuff. Customer Rating: Summary: Sent from above Comment: This band is a little piece of heaven. This and their sophmore album, Ta-Dah, are incredible. You're a fool if you don't buy them. Customer Rating: Summary: AWESOME CD Comment: This CD is totally awesome. I received the CD very quickly and in excellent condition. Customer Rating: Summary: Gorgeous and Filthy Comment: I tell you there isn't a bad song on this set; the boys and girl from the girtty part of New York City that is still in tact, the Scissor Sisters conquered the UK of course; since unlike any US counterparts lately, they actually enjoy good music across the pond. Combining the elements of Robbie Williams, Elton John, Beck and just about every other enchanting lad of late, the album is a dance wave rock rave from beginning to end - "Filthy Gorgeous", "Take Your Mama Out", the reworking of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" - no matter where your random button hits you're going to hear a dose of pure pop genius. When the album came out I began putting random Scissor Sisters songs on the compilation discs I made and let me tell you I made fans out of every single person who ran and bought the album themselves - and hello Jake Shears can tear up the scenery and there are two gay boys in the band! It's about time music can be music and not just a sub category of queer rock. It gives me hope for the likes of oh, I don't know my band Swivek. Oh and if you haven't already bought it - get We Are Scissor Sisters and So Are You! - a concert film that has tons of fun extras and one of the best live performances I've seen in a while. Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT from start to finish Comment: This is the second album for the Scissor Sisters and it's leaps and bounds above the first one (of course that can be said for most artist). I bought the CD on a whim after hearing "Land of a Thousand Words" online and have enjoyed every second of the CD. I listen to it at home, in my car, and at work. It helps keep me both calm and sane at work. From the first song "I don't feel like dancing," which oddly enough sometimes does make me want to dance, to the last song, "Everybody wants the same thing" I am transported to another place. I have rarely bought cds where every song is worth it. Usually I jump around on a CD and listen to 4 or 5 tracks on a 12 track cd, this is not the case with Ta-Dah! If you like them, get it; if you have never heard them, get it and you will. I swear that you will NOT be disappointed. I bought this CD before I bought the debut self titled CD, and I have to say that while the first one is good, the second one was great. However they are both worth a turn in the CD player or MP3 player. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Those dismissing the self-titled Scissor Sisters as a product of New York's latest band fad are jumping to conclusions. Yes, there's a certain cabaret aspect to what they do, but that's not to dismiss them as frivolous nightclub entertainment. That's only half the story. "Comfortably Numb" may nod to gay disco but this eclectic bunch of fashionistas have more interesting reference points tucked up their puff sleeves. If anything, the prevailing mood here is sunny AM rock, the kind of thing you might have tuned into in 70s New Jersey. "Take Your Mamma Out," perhaps the first song about coming out to your mother in a gay club, and sung by Jake Shears like primetime Elton, is a cracker. So too "Tits on the Radio"--slick barroom boogie that takes a venomous swipe at New York's increasing conservatism. Best here, though, is the anthemic "It Can't Come Quickly Enough," a retro carve-up of Nick Kershaw and the Pet Shop Boys that's more powerful than it sounds. Ignore it at your peril. --Paul Tierney
