Product Description
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

More classic Scissor Sister dancing tunes,
By 20th century guy (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ta Dah (2 Disc Collectors Edition With Poster) (Audio CD)
Their 2nd album has a lot to live up to, the trouble with debut albums that are instant hits is that you can't help hoping and praying for more of the same which is also better, well after a few listens this is one is going to be great.
Straight away songs like "She's my Man", "Lights", and "Paul McCartney" are going to be instant Scissor Sister classics and let's not forget "I don't feel like Dancin", they all demand to be played over and over again. The band feels like it's grown a bit which has allowed it to try a few new ideas, but at the same time retains the funky electronic samples and backing that made the original stand out! I'm betting this is on the wish list for loads of people, get it as soon as you can!!!

SCISSOR SISTERS can still cut the mustard!,
By Keane Listener (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ta Dah (2 Disc Collectors Edition With Poster) (Audio CD)
The first scissor sisters album was full of new sounds and catchy lyrics. This album is no different.
The sound is much less over the top, but with Compilations with Elton John, about as much variation in the songs as the first album and some longer and quicker songs- this album goes straight to the front of my favourite CD album, along with their debut album. The special edition version (which has a second CD) is also good, but is completely different in sound to what you expect: It is very dance/disco like- you'd almost expect a few songs to be on a Kylie/Madonna album: Nevertheless, all the tunes are catchy and worth the extra money to listen to: At the very least to show that the Scissor Sisters as a band are much more than a rock band, but a band with both creative genious and flexibility in their style. The Scissors remain the only band in which i cannot find one song of theirs that I do not like... This album adds to the list of memorable and enjoyable songs and for the price Amazon currently has it at- it is a worthy buy for any music lover.

Give it time, it might disappoint initially,

This review is from: Ta Dah (2 Disc Collectors Edition With Poster) (Audio CD)
Well, 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 :)
