Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In the run up to the release of Donkey, second album by Brazilian electro-pop hedonists CSS, there was talk in interviews of their desire to become more professional and indeed to be seen doing so after the immense success of their haphazard debut--to such an extent that it led to Ira Trevisan's being pushed from the group when she chose to learn French and design clothes ahead of formally brushing up her rudimentary bass guitar skills in between albums. To anyone already swept up by CSS's giddy, ramshackle blitz of the world's festivals and clubs over the last couple of years though, that plan sounded as rational as enforcing less movement on dance floors. Thankfully they've clung to many of the feisty characteristics and flourishes that made them a ball of elastic irresistibility in the first place, even allowing for regimentation and grown-up production values. The pigeon-English aerobic poetry (in that it rhymes) remains and is as blindly motivational as ever, while Lovefoxxx's endearingly eager squeals and quasi-raps keep the spirit well afloat. The tight guitar lick and infectious new-wave choruses of "Rat Is Dead (Rage)" and "Give Up" are vintage Elastica, "Left Behind" is all Heaven 17 synth-pop with a vibrant tropical kick and the 80s Madonna meets Daft Punk smoothness of "Move" is a spotless delight. While the vaguely anarchic glee of their debut is largely bleached out, one positive repercussion is that filler went with it. --James Berry


CD Description

The Brazilian electro-rock sensation follow up their eponymous 2006 debut with this sophomore album. Their chops honed by two years of touring and festival appearances, on this release they take a quantum leap forward, coming across as much more mature, polished and professional while retaining their unique signature sound. 'Donkey' was produced by the band's new bassist (and former drummer) Adriano Cintra, and includes the singles 'Left Behind' and the free download 'Rat IsDead (Rage)'.

4.0 out of 5 stars They haven't got tired of being sexy...yet, 15 Mar 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
A slicker and more generic album than the first CSS effort, this is nonetheless a decent stab at building on the success of the electrifying debut. There is nothing as urgent and as sexy as 'Music is my Hot Hot Sex' on Donkey but songs such as 'Rat is Dead (Rage)' and 'Left Behind' are funky enough to carry the album. Overall, CSS are not quite as sexy as they were two years ago but they're having a damn good stab at it.

5.0 out of 5 stars super sexy indie/electro/pop, 21 Jul 2008
By HotAngel (UK) - See all my reviews
  
I cant help but be a little miffed at the amout of middling-fair reviews of this album by the press.
Maybe its not as surreal and daring as their debut but its still better than half the generic indie and pop out there today!
Lovefoxx oozes sex as she sings and the songs are wicked! Higlights include Rat is dead, reggae all night, left behind, air painter, believe achieve and move.
Seriously ignore those reviewers are expected "Cansei De Ser Sexy" part 2 and enjoy a great fun album!

2.0 out of 5 stars Hiding to nothing, 5 Feb 2009
By Foz (UK) - See all my reviews
It was always going to be hard to follow a debut album like theirs. But it just goes to show that better musicians and better production don't always make better music. If I had heard this album 1st I would never have bothered with CSS. They were never going to equal their debut, but this is definately weak and forgettable, which means it will sell well and CSS can progress further into mainstream commercial pop.
