Scissor Sisters: Ta-dah
CML call number: CD/ROCK/Scissor
Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "Scissor Sisters had both hipsters and homemakers cutting a rug with their 2004 self-titled debut (which gave this New York City outfit the biggest-selling album in the U.K. that year). Now they've put their boogie shoes back on for their second CD, Tah-dah [sic], which is as delightful as its title. Don't be fooled by the melancholy sentiment of the disco-fied first single, 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin''; cowritten by Elton John (who also plays keyboards), it's got the kind of irresistible bounce that would shake anybody out of the dumps. Even when they leave the dance floor — on tracks like the atmospheric, Duran Duran-esque 'The Other Side' … — Scissor Sisters exhibit sharp pop instincts" ("Picks & Pans: Music," 10/2/06, p. 56).
Eric Steuer wrote in Wired: "This NYC quintet's snappy mix of disco and glam rock shamelessly evokes '70s hitmeisters like the Bee Gees, Queen, and Elton John (who collaborated on this collection's sugary-sweet 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin''). Innovative melodies and witty lyrics make these fun-loving drama geeks sound like much more than mere homage" ("Play," 10/06, p. 68).
