5.0 out of 5 stars Alcazar: What American Pop Music Has Missed, June 20, 2005

By	Stefan Hayes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This LP, although consists of previously released material, is a grand pop effort. This post ABBA / Ace Of Base Swedish quartet leaves NOTHING to be desired within the faction of melodic music.
From the "Upside Down" by Diana Ross sampling, to the overtly original bass lines and synthesizer ticklings: The listener is enveloped by a plethora of POP goodness.

2.0 out of 5 stars ICK-CAZARIZED?, April 27, 2009

By	Steven Kerry "former child vinyl addict" (Los Angeles,CA.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This group's album,Casino, came out the gate heavy on the Velveeta, but the production was really enjoyable; someone was into kicking some butt on the dancefloor, and they sampled great stuff by Chic, Change, etc.This one sounds like someone pouring all the "right" elements into the production, and coming out with a bit of a mess.There are too many trite, throwaway tracks on the level of "I Love the DJ". Someone seems to have told the singers to "sound soulful" but they don't, and probably can't:they're beyond cute, like vanilla soda on overkill.Despite sampling Diana Ross's Upside Down, the lead single disappoints 'cause the lyric is leaden with lines like "These are the hands we're given". Far better is the so corny it's catchy "I Go Shopping," which is the real hit of the album; the lyric is sublimely inane. (I assume it was written by the same person who wrote Crying at the Discotech, which had some bizarre lines as well).This group can be fun, but they should bring back whoever produced the thumpin' Sexual Guarantee, and stop trying to sound so insufferably cute.The best disco has the faint scent of decadence, which is missing in this record.
