- Summary: Although a New York band, Scissor Sisters (as evidenced by this debut disc) are definitely not part of the typical New York scene, eschewing garage and no wave to embrace campier, glammier 70s and 80s rock and dance music sounds. Included here is the band's cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb."
- Record Label: Polydor / Universal

This is a genius pop album, one on which pretty much everything fantastic happens.
-
By celebrating what it is to be a freak in 2004 they've made a debut that's unique yet uniting, deep yet designed for the dance-floor.
-
With one part arched eyebrows and droll wit, and one part melancholia and sharp social observation, the Sisters' debut is bursting with golden moments.
-
The album is fully committed to its breadth of ideas, allowing the songs to transcend their quirky individuality and ear candy sheen.
-
If it's pop thrills a go-go you’re after, you’ve got it.
-
This debut's fantastic energy does peter out toward the end, and some may consider it unfortunate that the bawdy, simplistic lyrics aren't the kind of life-changing poetry you'll want someone singing at your wedding.
