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 McGonigal

Summary: Damn these catz know how to party!
Comment: Once again Scissor Sisters have proved themselves with their funky beats and characteristic lyrics. This album, like their previous debut album, leaves a listener dancing till the sun goes down and creates a harmonic atmosphere. The Scissor Sister's groovy tunes are complimented with the Jason Shean's unusual/upbeat voice. And once the disk is over just open up the second panel, which is presented as opening elevator doors, and pop in the bonus disk which does not fail to keep the party moving. Some songs that stand out from the rest are "I don't feel like dancin" from the first disk, "Making Ladies" and "Almost Sorry" from the bonus disk.

Summary: Fabulous!
Comment: Absolutely fabulous album (although the elevator doors of my special edition get a little stuck).
I'm sharing my copy with just enough people to make them want to buy their own.

Summary: The Sisters
Comment: A great follow up to their debut album. The first single released was the very popular "I Don't Feel Like Dancing". Excellent song, video was fantastic. At first, I didn't like most of songs on the album, but at 3rd and 4th listening I fell in love, just like I did with the first album. This band is truly fantastic, and the album is definately worth buying. I hope you enjoy it as much as do.

Summary: pleasant sophomore sound
Comment: Ta-Dah by Scissor Sisters is a decent collection of songs. It just does not quite measure up to their previous CD. The arrangements a good and the recording is excellent, but there does not seem to be a really catchy or memorable tune on this CD as there was on the previous CD. It still is worth a listen to any "Sister" fans and it indicates that they are serious about their music and will most likely continue to produce very good music.
