MikeSJan 20, 20051They suck! SS sounds like a bunch of no talent people met, cut some tracks (quickly) and have become the sound du jour. Blech!

J.A.S.Feb 3, 200510This is a refreshing change. Nothing ordinary -- and great to dance to. I'm hooked and happy.

NickAFeb 4, 20059Refreshingly different than the other garbage out there today. Something with a little "thought" behind it. I love the disco throwbacks. The Comfortably Numb remake is so cool. One of my favs for 2004

KateBJun 10, 200610I love this album and don't know how people can slate it as badly as they have. I agree with the majority, and I love the way that Ana Matronic and Jake swap vocals in songs like Filthy/Gorgeous.

DemonicAngelDec 3, 20043This album's only redeeming track is "Mary". Otherwise, flat, uninteresting, lifeless. I really annoys me when tedious groups like Kings Of Leon, The Strokes and now Scissor Sisters get so much critical acclaim whilst other more innovative musicians get pushed aside. I like my music to have lasting interest, thank you.

ShabarOOct 5, 20046Good humoristic poprock. A little bit like wtaching Clockwork Orange with CGI effects and produced by Wu. Nothing is really new, but the mix of influences does appeal from the first listen. Once you settle beyond the obvious sarcasm, there is not much left. Light and fun. Are they going to last longer than ziguezigueSputnik?

JamesFMay 2, 200410An absolute surprise for me. Listening to "Take Your Mama Out" on MTV i thought 'wow this is great'. I brout the album expecting it to be average with the 1 good first single. However, every song on this album is a stunner. Absolutely Fabulous!

JackJMay 8, 200410There is no album better at the moment! A new band, with new talent! A new ERA is coming and Scissor Sistors are right at the centre of it!!

-
JeremyBAug 1, 200410I think this album is great from start to finish, it's something i've never heard before. Very different and the lyrics and poetic yet understandable (except i don't understand how "Take Your Mama" is a song about coming out totally). I do think it's one of the top cd's to come out in 2004.

AntonyMMar 18, 200510I never understood the whole posters on the wall obession of fanatical fans to one particular group. Now I know! The sissor sisters in my opinion is the greatest group of the 20th centery. I can listen to this album 2-3 times a day not grow tired of it. Infectious lyrics, up tempo beats and strong messages its all here folks.

BujarrMay 14, 200510The best album of the year.Funy,smart...Really surprised,very different from stuff that i usually listen,but they manage to mix diff. music styles,creating something VERY Special.

DavidWJul 19, 200410Fantastic debut record. This is what Elton John sounded like when he was good. CShelCShore is absolutely correct in his review. Listen to this album when you drive cross-country and it will blow your mind.
-
-
AaronLJul 27, 200410One of the most exciting albums I have heard in years. A unique amalgamation of sounds and styles that can bring to mind Elton John, the Bee Gees, Loggins & Messina, and others without sounding imitative. Brilliant.
-
-
JonasSJul 27, 20049Some really great songs with a lot of 70´s feel to them.
-
-
MattAug 21, 20048Scissor Sisters have proven that they are more than a singles band, songs like "Tits on the Radio" and "Music is the Victim", as well as "Filthy/Gorgeous" are all fantastic and are poppy disco music with integrity, something very rare nowadays.
-
-
SarahBAug 22, 200410I love this CD. I bought it for "Laura", little suspecting the other gems I would find. It combines catchy choruses and effortlessly funky instrumentals, making it an album where all the song have stuck in my head at some time or another. From the very very fun song "Music Is The Victim" to the melancholy ballady type thing "Return to Oz" I just think it's brilliant.

tomhSep 1, 200410words can not express how much i love this album. owning every elton john and roxy music cd i can't think of any other group that would make me replace them till now. sisters please come to columbus, ohio!!!!

MarkDec 30, 200410This album by the Scissor Sisters has to be one of the best albums to come out in a long time, even though it took several listenings. Its kind of like the old "Airplane" movies in that you have to watch them over and over to see something new each time. I really enjoyed the "disco" sounds brought back by this band.

AnnHJan 12, 20079Heard Lara being played in a record store and bought the album immediately. Played that song over and over and eventually listened to and realized the rest of the songs were great as well.

80[An] intensely enjoyable record, which plays like a singles collection.
-
Scissor Sisters' debut is a brilliant ode to a musical era defined by vapid decadence and disposable dance tracks.

40Spread over a whole CD, there is some worryingly featureless stuff. [Apr 2004, p.102]
