Scissor Sisters' new album is their most "out there" album yet! It's amazing and they wear their Bee Gees/Queen/Elton John influences like a second skin. Some of the songs may be more fit for gay night clubs than mainstream audiences, but for anyone who loves their disco mercilessly beat-driven and all sweat-inducing...well...wow!!
Night Work certainly lacks subtley with its phallic imagery (just give "Harder You Get" a listen) but it also knows its way very well around the dancefloor. Forget the lascivious invitations for casual gettogethers and promises of safe sex (on songs such as "Whole New Way") and enjoy the show!:) Your cardiac work-out and dance-happy feet will thank you!
My favorite bonus?...on "Any Which Way" Kylie Minogue shows up in the chorus! Other highlights? On "Fire with Fire" (soundling eerily like the band Styx) the mood is light and hopeful and on title track "Night Work" the mood is actually a bit Loverboy's "Working for The Weekend"...both in content and spirit...the Scissor Sisters have definitely got their retro on throughout the entire album and that's a very good thing for anyone looking for a bit of 70s and early 80s nostalgia!:)
