Album Description |
|
2010 release, the third album from the American Electro-Dance/Rock act. Night Work is a Dance record but it's not all Electronic. You can still hear the sound of a band spinning out together in a rehearsal room. It is the first time Scissor Sisters have worked with another producer; they recruited Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna) to co-produce. This collaboration sees the group's relationship with Stuart come full circle after they opened for his band Zoot Woman in 2004, their first UK tour. |

Not Scissor Sisters' best album |
|
Night Work is, in my opinion, the least good of Scissor Sisters' albums so far. The best was Ta-Dah! and the second best was their eponymously titled first album. Unfortunately there was not a single track on Night Work which had as much "swing" as the fantastic I Don't Feel Like Dancin'. I would say that Night Work is good, but not great. |

Hot, sexy, time period piece from 1980 to 1984 |
I can't recall that many artists who have created such an amazing time period piece as Scissor Sister just did with Night Work. Almost a concept album like Donna Summer did the late 70's. Every song is amazing and builds upon each other. Everything on here will sound like its from the early 80s, even "Any Which Way" which has a funky Town and Slyvester "Do You Wanna Funk" feel, songs that were part of Hi-NRG movement popular in gay community after disco was dead. As many reviewers say this has a 70's feel, it doesn't, it's pure early 80's dance.
Most artists are now shooting for the fast sing songy with a Hip Hop jargon and Scissor Sister doesn't and it's very refreshing to see a dance record like this going against the norm. Pick up this album, this is their best work to date for sure.

A MUST HAVE |
|
A phenomenal collaboration with Stuart Price, who produced Madonna's 'Confessions On A Dance Floor'. Honestly I have played this CD over and over and over for going on a week now. It has unmistakable sexual energy, yet never crosses the line in to tacky or needing to be censored. Although the title track, Night Work (probably intentionally) could easily be used for the opening credits of a gay 80's porno, it is much more refined, electronic, and danceable. The track "A Whole New Way" is somehow reminiscent of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex", while "Any Which Way" is classic Scissor Sisters'. If you listen closely you can hear Kylie Minogue on the backing vocals for this track. Kylie even lent a barely recognizable sample of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" to another equally infectious track called "Something Like This", which oddly enough sounds similar to the 80's band, Laid Back's "White Horse". But the track that stands out the most on this body of work would have to be "Harder You Get". Edgy, and well, hard, this song demands attention. And the hook is amazing. If you like songs to listen to loudly and bang your head to, this is it. I call it old Cheap Trick meets Alice Cooper, with a funky guitar solo, and an addictive bass line. Elements to the musical construction of "Running Out", I would compare to Devo as well. And last but not least, "Invisible Light". Wow! Epic. Just epic. It's a fine piece of story telling of the ancient city of Babylon, featuring spoken words that Vincent Price would admire. This is an instant classic. I give very high marks for this latest body of work from Scissor Sisters. If you enjoy 70's and 80's synth pop, this is definitely a must have; not only for Scissor Sisters fans, but newcomers to the diversity of this talented group, alike. Five stars all the way! |

Their best album yet |
Night Work
This album is so brilliantly mixed and mastered, it must be listened to.
The layering of sound is incredible. Song lyrics are well thought out, and the whole cd is track after track of non-stop dancing music from one of the world's greatest bands. Their concept for this album as they've stated in interviews is so fully accomplished it is astounding.
Best of their albums yet, deserves to win awards. |
