Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
More than any of their teeny-bop compadres, Vengaboys have fashioned a career out of being ridiculous: those comedy song titles, the sly double-entendres, the ludicrous outfits. One double-platinum debut album and a rash of Top 10 hits down the line, they're obviously onto a good thing. Silly sells, apparently. We love cartoons and we love Top Shop fashion, so why shouldn't we love Vengaboys? The Platinum Album is an utterly insane and deeply bizarre rush of kitsch randiness and broken English volubility. "Uncle John From Jamaica" is a cod-reggae romp, "Skinny Dippin'" is a hilarious Carry On-style flirt, "Cheeka Bow Bow" is a twisted analogy between sex and computers, with the disturbing final couplet "My disc was not protected / And now I am infected." It's not a lyrical masterpiece, but as disposable pop, The Platinum Album is good at what it does. --Amber Cowan

If you like to have a bit of a laugh and a bit of Fun then you can't go wrong with the Vengaboys. In a world where most Pop bands spend their time trying to make themselves appear to be serious artists the Venga's continue doing what they do best - having a good time. The album is full of tracks that mirror this mood and though most may try to deny it, firm favourites in summer clubs around Europe make for extremely catchy tunes, making this album a great addition to any collection. Let us all hope that the Vengaboys keep going in the traditional spirit of Pop.

I had loaned this cd to a friend who failed to return it and moved away. In desparation another friend said "get it on Amazon" - so I did - brand new and in excellent condition. Well worth looking at Amazon for those lost and damaged CD's that you want to replace. Good service, quick delivery xx well rateed
Format:Audio CD
This album combines the trance world which was mainly associated with their first album. It includes the hits "Kiss(When The Sun Don't Shine),"Shalala" and "Uncle John from Jaimaca". It also includes the minor hit "Keka Bow Bow (The Computer Song)" and it also includes the forthcoming single "Forever As One" Go VENGABOYS

Better than the 1st album
This is a brilliant album from a brilliant group. This album is a lot better than the first album with a few more pop songs and less dance music. Read more

A little disappointed
Two instrumentals out of 10 sounds like the Vengaboys were more concerned about putting out a new album rather than it's content. Read more

The Vengaboys do it again
This is yet another stunning album by the vengaboys. It has lost some of the trance tracks from the party album, but left in two - 48 hours and opus 3- enough for all. Read more
