Ta-Dah
The booklet has very few photos, all the lyrics included and for each track we get to know whom plays what on the track. Ta-Dah being the Scissor Sisters 2006 release and their 2nd studio album and contained such hits as "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", "Land of a Thousand Words" and "She's My Man". Elton John co-wrote some of the songs and played piano on them. 4/5. .


I feel like dancing
After a while, I realized that some of my favorite songs from the dances were by the same group. I first heard the Scissor Sisters at social dances (ballroom and club dancing). They're fairly inappropriate for many social situations, but certain not for dancing, or even listening to in the car.


None as good "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'"...
Fun and well crafted album, but none of the other tracks as good as "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'".


cleaned up a little I suppose
There seem to be a couple arguments as to the originality of their music. I do love the scissor sisters and have since I first saw "Take your mama out tonight", on some music channel late one night. Of course that can be debated but what is really the point? My opinion (which I'll make short), there is rarely any original music anymore. Anyone can be compared to anyone. It's unfortunate but true. What I feel about the scissor sisters is they took quite a few different genres and ran with it. Honestly, they have songs for the club queen all the way to the rock ballad lover. I suppose the cd as a whole is most suitable for the eclectic. Those with say the violent femmes and Mika in the same playlist. You get my drift. Now I didnt give it five stars. . . and that was on purpose. I dont feel it was a groundbreaking album- but it is quite a ride, should you choose to let it be.


This Sorority Infectious as Ever - But The Biggest Influence Goes Unrecognized?
Any fan of Seventies music like myself will love this album as with the debut - but what surprises the hell out of me is that not one review recognized what may well be the biggest influence upon the Scissor Sisters' sonic pallette. . . . put it this way, do not delay in your purchase of the following albums if money isn't an object: Blows Against The Empire, Dragonfly (featuring the minor Hot 100 hit "Ride The Tiger") Spitfire (featuring "With Your Love") and Red Octopus (this with the monster hit, "Miracles", which "The Other Side" thoroughly evokes). . . . . any Seventies music aficianado will recognize those titles as part of the JEFFERSON STARSHIP catalogue - true, there is a LOT of Sir Elton in the Sisters' sound, but Jake Shears also vocally resembles, at turns, Andy Pratt (check out "Avenging Annie" for a near-perfect Billy Joel-Bee Gees blend and you'll readily agree it's a tune this combo needs to revive) Kenny Loggins/Lindsey Buckingham (of Fleetwood Mac) but, when not in the upper vocal reaches, frequently like a bizarre hybrid of the Starship's Marty Balin AND Grace Slick, especially on "The Other Side", "Everybody Wants The Same Thing" - even "Take Your Mama Out" from the debut.

Finally, I'm even more surprised that no review acknowledged from where the ONLY source of that catchy " I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" rhythm could've been derived: "December '63 (Oh What A Night)" by Frankie Valle and the 4 Seasons, still heard many times a night in American DJ rotations. . . . . .
