Summary: cleaned up a little I suppose
Comment: I do love the scissor sisters and have since I first saw "Take your mama out tonight", on some music channel late one night. There seem to be a couple arguments as to the originality of their music. Of course that can be debated but what is really the point? My opinion (which I'll make short), there is rarely any original music anymore. Anyone can be compared to anyone. It's unfortunate but true. What I feel about the scissor sisters is they took quite a few different genres and ran with it. Honestly, they have songs for the club queen all the way to the rock ballad lover. I suppose the cd as a whole is most suitable for the eclectic. Those with say the violent femmes and Mika in the same playlist. You get my drift. Now I didnt give it five stars... and that was on purpose. I dont feel it was a groundbreaking album- but it is quite a ride, should you choose to let it be.

Summary: This Sorority Infectious as Ever - But The Biggest Influence Goes Unrecognized?
Comment: Any fan of Seventies music like myself will love this album as with the debut - but what surprises the hell out of me is that not one review recognized what may well be the biggest influence upon the Scissor Sisters' sonic pallette.....put it this way, do not delay in your purchase of the following albums if money isn't an object: Blows Against The Empire, Dragonfly (featuring the minor Hot 100 hit "Ride The Tiger") Spitfire (featuring "With Your Love") and Red Octopus (this with the monster hit, "Miracles", which "The Other Side" thoroughly evokes).....any Seventies music aficianado will recognize those titles as part of the JEFFERSON STARSHIP catalogue - true, there is a LOT of Sir Elton in the Sisters' sound, but Jake Shears also vocally resembles, at turns, Andy Pratt (check out "Avenging Annie" for a near-perfect Billy Joel-Bee Gees blend and you'll readily agree it's a tune this combo needs to revive) Kenny Loggins/Lindsey Buckingham (of Fleetwood Mac) but, when not in the upper vocal reaches, frequently like a bizarre hybrid of the Starship's Marty Balin AND Grace Slick, especially on "The Other Side", "Everybody Wants The Same Thing" - even "Take Your Mama Out" from the debut.
Finally, I'm even more surprised that no review acknowledged from where the ONLY source of that catchy " I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" rhythm could've been derived: "December '63 (Oh What A Night)" by Frankie Valle and the 4 Seasons, still heard many times a night in American DJ rotations.....

Summary: All you kids, get off my lawn
Comment: It has come to my attention that there is something called "fun" going on, and that this album has something to do with it. People mostly stopped making music like this after the seventies, for legitimate reasons. I really don't see why you people can't just shut up and sit down and listen to Dave Matthews.

Summary: Horrible, Horrible, Horrible.
Comment: The first CD was inspired, but this CD is a complete failure. It seems like the band produced a CD just for the sake of producing a CD. All the songs sound similar. Please, save your money this CD is a waste of time.

Summary: Fan for life
Comment: I thought I would have a hard time growing to love another Scissor Sisters album as much as I loved their first one. Now that I've been immersed in it for a few weeks, I have to say that I am more in love with the group than ever! Their sound varies a bit from the first album - less songs that sound like an overlooked Elton John track from the 70's, (although the flavors of EJ can still be found intertwined in several songs); still a good bit of Bee Gees. But new to the mix are traces of Blondie and Queen. Just fantastic stuff, with the perfect Scissor Sisters twist of originality.
While I could review each track independently, let me focus on my current 2 favorites. "Kiss You Off" should be every woman's theme song, whether she is happily partnered (as I am) or not. It's a righteously angry, sexy-woman song. "Land of a Thousand Words" is a ballad worthy of comparing to last album's "Mary" in beauty of both arrangement and vocals.
Ta-Dah is as musically diverse and intelligent as the first album. It's also got the quintessential Scissor Sisters cutting wit, irony (e.g., cheerily reminding us that we were "born to die"), and daring musicality. With this album, they have solidified my adoration and have made me a fan for life. Now if we could only get them to tour more in the U.S.!!

Editorial Reviews:

Since not liking the Scissor Sisters is tantamount to not liking fun, let's just assume that everyone already adores this band and go on from there, OK? The Sisters' hotly anticipated second full-length feel like a streamlined continuation of their debut. It's hard to imagine no one had ever called an album Ta Dah! before, but then these sexy troubadours have no trouble subtly reworking the past to make it almost-new and always joyous. They may have emerged in a brief window when campy pastiche rock seemed like the next big thing, but just as their friends Fischerspooner did with the electroclash "movement," the Scissor Sister possess an elevated enough sense of fun, popcraft, and good enough connections to carry them for years. Hell, the first track on this album, the wonderful confection "Don't Feel Like Dancin," was co-written with Sir Elton John, and it sounds like Abba, Fleetwood Mac and Xanadu all at once. Other tunes might have you thinking of Bowie or the Bee Gees or Prince or Pink Floyd or even the Carpenters, but only as cagily reimagined in a glittery, wonderful, post-Hedwig/ Velvet Goldmine world. --Mike McGonigal
