Product 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.

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

Customer Reviews

A hit factory of an album
unbelievably great album - I didn't think they could easily better their first one, but they have! The only let down is the packaging of this edition - it's fun to start with but difficult to store on your CD shelf! The Bonus tracks on disc 2 are worth the 2 or 3 extra quid.

Brilliant feel-good album to get you dancin'
I am a recent convert to the Scissor Sisters, having only got their first album a couple of months ago. I thought that was brilliant, but this is even better. It hasn't left the CD player since I bought it.

The overall impression this album leaves on me is a brilliantly funky, feel-good vibe that makes me want to get up and part-ay. In a day-glo, skin-tight catsuit. It'll cheer you up at any time of day or night. Having said that, there are a couple of ballads and some less overtly funky disco tracks which are every bit as good as songs such as 'I don't feel like dancin', even though their style is very different. In fact, the variety of styles here is one of the great plusses of the album.

I haven't listened to the extra CD much because the main album is so good, but it seems good too and worth the extra.

This is quality song-writing, by a band who can really play. It's the sort of music that makes you glad to be alive.

Scissor Sister's magic second album
With instant catchiness, Scissor Sisters pull pop genius from out of their sleaves in the form of their second album Ta-Dah! Packed full of infectious cheerfulness and singable lyrics just as brilliantly unique as their first self-titled album. This album though, while still retaining their retro pop glamour has clear influences from masses of sources. From Bugsy Malone in "I Can't Decide" to the 007 themes found in "Land of a Thousand Words" these influences float gorgeously into their album seamlessly. Tracks like "Ooh" and "Kiss you Off" show how this CD is so much more than a one-hit-wonder. I could not have wanted more from their second album after such an incredible entry into the charts. I currently recommend no other album over this one, add it to your collection today.
