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

CD Description

The gleefully camp New Yorkers who sold three million copies of their 2004 self-titled debut album return with this sophomore effort. All the familiar influences - Elton John, LeoSayer, The Bee Gees, George Michael - are present and correct, and the lush widescreen production makes it all sound bigger and more over-the-top than ever. Includes the single 'IDon't Feel Like Dancin'', which was co-written and featuresa guest appearance by Elton John.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scissor-tastic!!, 1 Feb 2007

By	M. C. Batson "wanted82" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this album!! I didn't think they could get any better but they have proved that they are even better than their first album.
This is an album that you can put on and listen to from start to finish without skipping any of the tracks.
It's very disco/pop tongue in cheek fun-ness that you would expect from such a great band. I don't feel like dancing is a great indicator to what you can expect from this album.
Expect to be out of your chair on your feet dancing round whilst listening to this album because the songs are just so great that you won't be able to help but dance to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grows and grows on you!!!, 12 May 2007

By	Chipstick (Buckinghamshire) - See all my reviews

Having been a massive fan of their first album, I couldn't wait for their follow-up.

My initial response to it however, was slight disappointment. Less 'naughty' and raunchy than its predecessor, it was also slightly less immediate and sounded more tame on the first couple of listens.

However, it has since proved its worth. No-one creates hooks like Scissor Sisters do, and there are so many catchy, funky songs that you will find yourself turning up the volume to dance around to many of the songs, 'Paul McCartney', 'Lights' and 'Ooh' being examples (that have not so far been released as singles, but believe me, they will be!).

'Land of a thousand words' and 'The other side' show the more introspective and thoughtful side of the band and have tremendous beauty and are genuinely touching.

Stylistically, there are echoes of Bee Gees, Queen, (even some of the Beatles humorous numbers) and Elton John, and they are obviously a huge reference for Mika's album.

This is a more mature album lyrically too. The songs - while still full of fun, humour and 'naughtiness' - also deal with meaningful love relationships...both the highs and lows.

Their first album was mammothly successful, and it is of course a hard act to follow, but this is not a weak album by any stretch and is stuffed full of hits. Give it a couple of listens and you too will find they have hooked you once again!!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to pull a rabbit from a hat - with flair., 7 Oct 2006

By	musikmeister (London) - See all my reviews

Two years on and the Scissor Sisters continue to dazzle. Reflecting their development, the sequins and feather boas have been replaced with expensive and stylish, silk suits. Maturity, Originality and Professionalism are familiar terms applicable to the Scissor Sisters. In their second album though, they really have moulded their niche. Some fans will miss the raunchy, playful, controversial character of the first album as Ta-Dah focuses more on thoughtful and intelligent lyrics, than on camping things up. That said, 'Kiss You Off' and 'Paul McCartney' are classics in the making, whilst 'Lights' and the first single 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing' will have you swinging round the room in no time. Be warned though, this album follows mainly in the musical trail of 'Mary' and 'It Can't Come Quickly Enough' than 'Filthy-Gorgeous', but it reflects a band who have accepted their new role in shaping 21st Century music in a humble, grateful and responsible manner. Their London concert in Trafalgar Square shows that they plan to use this well-earned respect and fame to breathe life into a tired musical industry, and they succeed spectacularly in giving their audience a well earned trip into the minds of truly talented performers.
