Editorial Reviews
Scissor Sisters are five electro-glam reprobates from New York who have produced one of the coolest records of 2004 without even trying. Ignoring the zeitgeist sounds of the Strokes & Stellastarr (there's no way that these guys own a Television album) the Scissor Sisters have missed out on becoming trendy scenesters to plough their own furrow in the plentiful fields of camp party music. Like fellow genre-splicing nutters Electric Six, Scissor Sisters are a band who won't be categorized. Influenced by vintage Bowie, Roxy Music & Elton John & with the audacity to cover Pink Floyd, the Scissor Sisters are one of the most unique & exciting bands around. Their self-titled debut album is chock-full of cheesy-yet-awesome tunes that incorporate disco, soft rock & everything in between. The Floyd cover 'Comfortably Numb' evokes 'Saturday Night Fever' era Bee Gees whilst 'Mary' is a wonderful pastiche of Toto.

Since not liking the Scissor Sisters is tantamount to not liking fun, let's just assume that everyone already adores this band and go on from there, OK? The Sisters' hotly anticipated second full-length feel like a streamlined continuation of their debut. It's hard to imagine no one had ever called an album Ta Dah! before, but then these sexy troubadours have no trouble subtly reworking the past to make it almost-new and always joyous. They may have emerged in a brief window when campy pastiche rock seemed like the next big thing, but just as their friends Fischerspooner did with the electroclash "movement," the Scissor Sister possess an elevated enough sense of fun, popcraft, and good enough connections to carry them for years. Hell, the first track on this album, the wonderful confection "Don't Feel Like Dancin," was co-written with Sir Elton John, and it sounds like Abba, Fleetwood Mac and Xanadu all at once. Other tunes might have you thinking of Bowie or the Bee Gees or Prince or Pink Floyd or even the Carpenters, but only as cagily reimagined in a glittery, wonderful, post-Hedwig/ Velvet Goldmine world. --Mike McGonigalCustomer Reviews:
Fan for life.......2007-06-26
While I could review each track independently, let me focus on my current 2 favorites. "Kiss You Off" should be every woman's theme song, whether she is happily partnered (as I am) or not. It's a righteously angry, sexy-woman song. "Land of a Thousand Words" is a ballad worthy of comparing to last album's "Mary" in beauty of both arrangement and vocals.
Ta-Dah is as musically diverse and intelligent as the first album. It's also got the quintessential Scissor Sisters cutting wit, irony (e.g., cheerily reminding us that we were "born to die"), and daring musicality. With this album, they have solidified my adoration and have made me a fan for life. Now if we could only get them to tour more in the U.S.!!
Ta-Dah cd by Scissor Sisters.......2007-05-14
Sophomore Release Holds Up Nicely........2007-04-14
As Miss Amanda said, I was completely blown away by the first cut (co-penned by Sir Elton as you've no doubt read here a million times already), and it reminded me something of old Leo Sayer disco hits, only better. It's addictive and fun to work out to.
"She's My Man" decidedly sounds quite a bit like Sir Elton's "All the Girls Love Alice" from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and is a bit grittier while "Lights" is almost Frankie Vallie "Grease"-styled sophisti-pop.
"Kiss You Off" features Ms. Ana Matronic and kicks some serious kiester, but my favorite songs on here have to be all the melodic and harmony driven novelty-styled ballads like "I Can't Decide," "Intermission," and "Might Tell You Tonight" because Jake Shears has such a clear, fluid, and pleasurable voice. The lyrics to "I Can't Decide" never fail to get a chuckle out of yours truly while those of "Intermission" leave one thinking about their life in general.
There's plenty of old-school disco influence throughout this disc for the glittery fun factor, but the band also shows a bit more of their pensive side this time around. My favorite song on this album has to be the beautiful, ethereal, and somewhat sad "The Other Side." It really is one of the best songs the band has recorded so far, right along with "Laura" and "Take Your Mama."
All in all, if you loved the first SS, obtaining Ta-Dah is simply a must. This group is intelligent, confidently and admirably pretentious, fu"nny, and truly talented. I love them and, by all rights, so should you.
3-1/2 stars -- The party continues.......2007-04-13
While I wouldn't rate this as high as most of the recent reviewers rated it, it's still a solid album. The first three tracks run into each other though; not that they're bad (well, "She's My Man" is as bizarre as its title), but they really don't sound that much different from each other. Because of this, I was wondering if the album would sound like one long single, but fortunately, things get more varied throughout the rest of the album.
One surprising thing is that unlike on their first album, there are a few mellow tracks to be found on here, like "Intermission" and "Land of a Thousand Words". But the songs are still good, as are "Lights" and "Everybody Wants the Same Thing". And while "Paul McCartney" isn't a bad song, I don't quite understand where the title comes from (one reviewer suggested that the song is a fan letter to Sir Paul, but I'm not so sure).
While you might find a strange lyric here and there, Ta-Dah is still a good album from Scissor Sisters. It's not QUITE as good as their self-titled album, but if you didn't mind dancing to that album, you should have no problem doing the same to this one.

Those dismissing the self-titled Scissor Sisters as a product of New York's latest band fad are jumping to conclusions. Yes, there's a certain cabaret aspect to what they do, but that's not to dismiss them as frivolous nightclub entertainment. That's only half the story. "Comfortably Numb" may nod to gay disco but this eclectic bunch of fashionistas have more interesting reference points tucked up their puff sleeves. If anything, the prevailing mood here is sunny AM rock, the kind of thing you might have tuned into in 70s New Jersey. "Take Your Mamma Out," perhaps the first song about coming out to your mother in a gay club, and sung by Jake Shears like primetime Elton, is a cracker. So too "Tits on the Radio"--slick barroom boogie that takes a venomous swipe at New York's increasing conservatism. Best here, though, is the anthemic "It Can't Come Quickly Enough," a retro carve-up of Nick Kershaw and the Pet Shop Boys that's more powerful than it sounds. Ignore it at your peril. --Paul TierneyCustomer Reviews:

I bought this CD before I bought the debut self titled CD, and I have to say that while the first one is good, the second one was great. However they are both worth a turn in the CD player or MP3 player.

UPDATE: I have just heard the entire album, "Ta-Dah!". I'm sorry to report that it is quite disappointing. There are a only a couple of good tracks on it. It comes nowhere close to the level of excellence and consistency that marked their debut. You've been warned. Maybe you should just buy this cd single instead.
