NOT WORTH CONSUMING
A good album is one where you set out to do something and you accomplish it. What were the Scissor Sisters setting out to do with “Ta-Dah”? I have no idea. I think the idea of indie disco sounds great in theory. The Scissor Sisters takes dance music from the 70s and 80s (think Queen, ABBA and Elton John) and plays it in a totally unironic, white boy sings the blues kinda way. It’s campy and corny, but grandiose, arrogant and far too over-the-top. Are they joking? Or do they think this is cool? If they are joking, then why not let the listener know with sillier words and dumbed down arrangements. I think they’re serious and it’s seriously bad.
