Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters Movies

Pros: yay
Cons: nay

Guilty pleasures. Every music fan has them. And they can’t even deny it either. Even the snobbiest of indie snobs (and I’m pointing no elbo ws here) could be found dancing his heart away to Britney Spears ...

Pros: Awash with pop masterpieces. Scathing/sexy/deep lyricism and impossibly versatile vocals.
Cons: Some numbers are average in comparison to the great stuff.

By all indications, being “New York’s Hottest Band” is a bit of a laugh. An unofficial honour bestowed on everyone from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs to The Strokes to Cibo Matto to Blondie, the Scissor Sisters are the latest in a long and illustrious ...

Pros: Lots.
Cons: Nope.

I'm about to try and describe the Scissor Sisters in many different ways, varying in their political correctness. The Scissor Sisters are "living the alternative lifestyle"; in strictest terms, they can't get married yet; they "participate in ...

Pros: Infectiously groove-alicious songwriting; clever sense of humor; gay-glam fashion sense.
Cons: Wink-wink nod toward sexual cageyness perpetuates the gay community's tendency toward internalized homophobia.

The Seventies really were pretty cool, you know. I was born in 1971, so I was pretty much growing up in the thick of it. The Bee-Gees and Elton John were all over the radio back then, their heady pop confections all the rage during the days of bell ...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: A few songs could be skipped, Comfortably Numb is hard to listen to.

When you think about it, The Darkness and Scissor Sisters have many similarities. Both exploded onto the talent-starved music scene. Many wrote both of them off as a joke band. Both owe a humungous debt to stars of old (Thin Lizzy, Elton John) And both ...

Pros: Every song on this CD. Really!
Cons: Don't wait too long.

I am so fortunate! Here I am in London back in April of 2004. At a HMV Music Store (major chain in the UK) where at age 53 years of age, I'm searching the CD bins for something unique and different as I always do when I'm in Europe. The store is ...

Pros: FUN FUN FUN!!! lots of falsetto. LAURA!!!
Cons: nothing especially bad, Return To Oz isnt that great...

Scissor Sisters. This name means many things to me. Included are fun, dance, awesome, and really high pitched. This band has made me accomplish one thing i never thought i would: appreciate disco-like music. Their style is so perfect that it makes you ...

Pros: Original, cool and funky
Cons: You cannot listen to it all day without getting slightly bored.

With so much rubbish music around at the moment it was refreshing to find a band that really do sound different! The Scissor Sisters, with their often funky electric sound and strange vocals took me by surprise. I must admit that on first hearing "Laura" I didn't like it, however, like "the KIllers", it quickly grew on me and I found myself wanting to hear more and so I bought the album: it did not disappoint, with each song exploding with new and interesting sounds. This album is a must have.

Pros: Just a fantastic album
Cons: infectious!!!!!

This is such a cool album. Normally i wouldnt buy anything like this, but the songs 'laura, take your mama out all night' were so infectious. This album will have you up and singin and dancin along, a great CD for socialing with your friends and a bottle of wine! This is essentially just a fun album to listen to, and certainly one of the most infectious, I mean who cannot be charmed by the retro-sounding riffs and stomps? Buy this and you will find that this CD stays on permanent rotation in your car-stereos and your hifi systems.

Pros: You've never heard "Comfortably Numb" done in BeeGees falsetto.
Cons: Need "empty calorie" music? Here it is.

Yes, got and listened to Scissor Sisters. Initial listening basically ended with "What the crap was that?"
Wild reviews in the paper got me to listen again. First off, Pink Floyd fans will go apoplectic hearing their version of "Comfortably Numb." Imagine the Beach Boys singing it listening to the BeeGees on LSD and you'll know what I mean. "Mother" has redeeming value if you listen to the lyrics and ignore the sound. So, is this a British thing that I'm missing? Parts are palatable but, as a whole, if you want to hear ripoffs of Pink Floyd, Elton John, and the Bee Gees, well, just go buy their stuff. Yes, it's Top10. Yes, it sucks. It's been deleted from my iPod and it should be deleted from yours.
