Broader, Deeper, Than The Debut Album
This is not so sunny an album as "Scissor Sisters" was. There is but one infectiously boppy dance number, and it's called "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'." The rest of the tracks are a fine set indeed; particularly the other number co-authored with Elton John, "Intermission," whose jaunty rhythm underscores the rather dour lyric refrain "Tomorrow's not what it used to be; we were born to die." This is decidedly down-beat territory, yet the Sisters travel it with all their melodic, rhythmic, and comedic talent on full display.
Well worth a second, third, fourth and fifth listen, if you find yourself disenchanted after just one hearing......it'll grow on you -- promise.
