Scissor Sisters – Ta-Dah
Released in 2006, on Universal/Polydor
So, their concert is surely on my ‘best moments of summer 2006′ list, despite the crow. They played a few of Ta-Dah’s songs too, e.g. hit-to-be single I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’, which was a shockingly amazing experience. I had some mixed feelings when I’ve first heard that Elton John is collaborating with them, but, as every objective reviewer must do, I couldn’t let my prejudice ruin this whole thing (don’t get me wrong, that’s prejudice as in “don’t like his music”).Overall, this album is even more eighties-influenced, than their debute, which could be a problem… But it isn’t. What else can I write? This album is fun, good to listen. Has some very good moments. She’s My Man and Kiss You Off being two of them, I love these songs.
But maybe it lacks some of their debut’s interestingnes. They take a good scheme and write songs for it. They base things of the 80’s as today’s most bands copy the 60’s or 70’s. That I can enjoy on one album
But I hope it doesn’t become a fashion. What I don’t need is a total global 80’s revival. I’d never forgive that to the Sisters.
Nevertheless, I like Ta-Dah. Funny, slick, dancable. But they should start making up something different.
~ Final score: 7,2/10
One thing: good lyrics. Better than the previous album’s.
