Scissor Sisters aren't shit *because* they are disco, they just are BAD disco.

Hahaha, this band was tailor made for me from the titles alone!

this argument can't continue if it's just going to amount to 'yes it is/no it isn't' status tho

come on, 'Filthy/Gorgeous' reeks of Sylvester, call it karaoke/cabaret if you want, i don't find that a problem, it strikes me as a competent stab at apeing the style irrespective of the fact there is no large black T.V. fronting it

I don't know how many times I have to state that I dislike them because I don't like their music. I HATE them because I'm overexposed to them. I admit that, but it doesn't negate the fact that I really don't like their music.

it's just that when you (not YOU) get to actually criticising the ethos, or the music itself, it always seems to revolve around 'they think they're sooooo cooooool, but i know better, i remember when this stuff actually was new!' which is fair enough but a little tiresome to hear every time someone comes out with a record unasbashed in revivalism (goes for 'Is This It' too i guess). people have different ideas of what constitutes good party music but ignoring snobby pretensions, this stuff fits the bill just fine.

I have nothing to say about the SS. I've only heard that one song about taking your mom out. I thought it was ok but pretty repetitive.

And if people can't see that their version of "Comfortably Numb" is a disco/house record then I'm utterly amazed. Listen to the fucking thing!

The second half of this record is much better than the first, apart from "Take Your Mama Out" which is fantastic.
