Customer Reviews
Exactly what I expected from Tiga
Tiga's long awaited debut. As expected, Tiga offers his Talking Heads-like vocals in most of the synth-pop, electro-ish tracks of this album. As in previous releases, Jesper Dahlback and Soulwax have contributed their production skills. Besides the well-known You Gonna Want Me, Louder Than A Bomb and Pleasure From The Bass, there is little on offer here. In particular, I enjoyed 3 Weeks, which features an engaging distorted electro sample, and I expect a single with remixes of this track. Definitely one of the best in the album. Other noteworthy tracks are High School, Good As Gold, (Far From) Home (The Speed Of Sexor Reprise) and Sir Sir Sir. One of the weaknesses of this album is that all the versions are short and some tracks, particularly the new ones, should have been extended. I also wanted to see Madame Hollywood, which is one of Tiga's best. Nevertheless a good collective effort by Tiga, but I understand why some fans were disappointed.
Falls short of our very high expectations!
I've been lucky enough to catch Tiga Djing in London recently and I was very expectant of an absolute classic, based on his remixes. Unfortunately having raised the bar so high, its a real shame he is let down by a couple of tracks. Highlights include High School, flexibleskulls and Pleasure from the Bass, but Ballad of Sexor is just plain strange and let down by some weak lyrics.
I'm debating whether to give this 3 or 4 stars, and my gut feeling is that it WOULD be 4 except he can do so much better! It's a teaser for what this guy can really do.
My advice? Get the album, listen out for highlights then catch him live. Definately worth the hour-long wait in the freezing cold!
Yawn...
From the man who brought us the stunning ‘sunglasses at night’, this is a pretty dull affair. With dull vocals, uninspired lyrics, and generally mid-tempo eletronica, this album is a great disappointment. The only track that stood out for me was the rap / electronic song ‘Louder than a Bomb’. And the 1st song, (Far From) Home’ has a chorus that is an absolute RIP-OFF of Electronics’ ‘Get the Message’… except its dull!
Sorry, but this is a disappointing bore…
