5.0 out of 5 stars
An evocative and profound statement of longing and pain, July 9, 2001
This title is a creative amalgam of two starkly contrasting elements: one is the sacredness of love; the other, love's embodiment in often horrific everyday experience. Ultimately, the transcendental power of spiritual love emerges as the beautifully rendered theme of this evocative and paradoxical masterwork.Many listeners mistake "We Didn't Say That" for an existentialist treatise on such issues as the death of God and the isolation of man, though this is hardly the case. "We Didn't Say That" contains a powerful, existential line of questioning, but it is hardly an album about Existentialism-in fact, it is quite the reverse. As artists, Daphne and Celeste are too brilliant and too subtle to examine such superficial questions as whether or not God exists or human kind is alone in the world. Instead, they examine the human condition not so much in a spiritual vacuum but from the perspective that we cannot know the Divine while we are alive. But in that time, we can experience manifestations of the Divine, some of which take place through our own decisions and actions, but most of which take place during the song "I Love Your Sushi." This is a remarkable piece of work. It will either awaken a thirst for answers or will it leave you shell-shocked. I was shell-shocked. It seems like a simple allegory - a little fable to make you think, yet its uncompromising, riveting vision has been matched by only a few others in our culture.

Daphne and Celeste are brilliant., July 23, 2000
By A Customer
Daphne and Celeste are best known for their catchy, sing-a-long tunes, and that is exactly what you will find on this CD. With Daphne and Celeste, you have to either love them or hate them. And me, I love them. They don't take everything all so seriously, and it's nice to have a laugh here and there. I'm glad I found this CD, because it's just something great to listen to when you need to get in a good mood. Like I said, the songs are extremely catchy, so don't be surprised if you have one of their funny songs stuck in your head all day, or if you find yourself listening to the CD 24/7. I highly recommend this CD, it's the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars
I never laughed so hard in my entire life!!!!!!!, March 14, 2004
I love Daphne & Celeste, they're the best!! Their songs are bubbly and fun. The only serious track is "Hey Boy"; the girls are fighting over a boy, the bridge is cool: "talk to the hand cuz the face aint listening, cuz i'm hot girl and you're not girl..." This album has no boundaries; it's almost as if each song is made up on the spot, but obviously thats not true. It takes a lot of time and effort to make an album, and Daphne & Celeste do a pretty good job of it. I don't know where they've disappeared to. Their last single was a cover by Alice Cooper called "School's Out". Since then, there has been no new songs or anything that has to do with Daphne & Celeste. I read somewhere that their next single will be called "P.A.R.T.Y.", but we will find out if thats true. Daphne & Celeste, if you're reading this, please show yourselves cuz you are AWESOME and no one can ever be as good as you, and thats a fact!
