Advantages: smooth swing that's easy listening
Disadvantages: I wish there were more tracks!

...class to this piece. 10 - Things This is song with Jane Horracks and is absolutely great! Their singing styles compliment each other greatly and the harmonies are fantastic. The track features a joky argument at the end. 11 - Ain't that a kick in the Head Robbie's performance of this led to jazz drummer Harold Jones' comment, 'The kid really gets the swing thing.' 12 - They Cna't Take that away from me Sung with Rupert Everett, this song is definately one to sing along to!

Advantages: When you read this you will know more about the Scissor sisters.
Disadvantages: None because its great!

...I bought the Scissor Sisters self titled album recently and can’t stop playing it. After listening to the album for a few weeks now I have finally decided upon my favourite songs. I love Filthy/Gorgious, It can't come quickly enough, Return to Oz, Laura and Take Your Mama (Ihave fallen in love with the video.)

I will try to give you a ‘feel’ for the sounds contained within this album describing them as best I can by mentioning other groups/styles of music. The Scissor Sisters consist of :- Jake Shears & Ana Matronic (singers). Babydaddy & Del Marquis (guitars) and Paddy Boom (drums).

Released in 2001. ~~~~~The Tracks~~~~~ 1. I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen 2. Mack... Read review
