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.

Customer Reviews

More classic Scissor Sister dancing tunes
Their 2nd album has a lot to live up to, the trouble with debut albums that are instant hits is that you can't help hoping and praying for more of the same which is also better, well after a few listens this is one is going to be great.

Straight away songs like "She's my Man", "Lights", and "Paul McCartney" are going to be instant Scissor Sister classics and let's not forget "I don't feel like Dancin", they all demand to be played over and over again.

The band feels like it's grown a bit which has allowed it to try a few new ideas, but at the same time retains the funky electronic samples and backing that made the original stand out!

I'm betting this is on the wish list for loads of people, get it as soon as you can!!!

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.

Scissor Sisters Slice The Beat
With the deserved help of Sir Elton John on, "I Don't Feel Like Dancing", The Scissor Sisters continue on their unique road to pop glory. This is more of the same glam-rock, disco, dance ballad mixture that got them noticed on their debut and it still manages to work. "Ta-Dah" is electric metrosexual Bee Gees, except the vocals are simply Scissor Sisters (and that's fine). The dance beat is not quite as funky as the Gibbs dance period, but it's much, much more current. There is no doubt that the Sisters have created a niche long lost thrown away and have brought new life to it. Sure, they aren't quite Blondie, the Bee Gees or Elton john, but they sure get damn close and with the mix of all of these influences, they soar on nearly every song to a frenzied euphoria. The Scissor Sisters have been said to be the musical equivalent of "Jacks of all trades and masters of none", but they sure master what they have here and that is a feat in itself.
