5.0 out of 5 stars Bis- Social Dancing, December 10, 1999

YES.. this album will make you dance and sing and shout and have fun. That's the point of Bis. It's POP music. End of story. Excellent album, too bad the majority of people can't stomach the jangle tunes because the majority of this album is very likeable. Kudos to Mike D. for picking up these guys on Grand Royal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bis Gets Polished, August 11, 1999

By

This review is from: Social Dancing (Audio CD)

Bis returns triumphant with a more mature, polished sound. This CD is significantly less gritty and in-your-face as "New Transistor Heroes," but the sound is more polished and pop-y, just like the Pop Music they try to inject some life and meaning into. Bis have also matured in the lyric department, with a cry for meaning in "Action and Drama," and a clever nod to Devo in "Young Alien Types." "Social Dancing" is a commentary you can dance to, and a fine addition to the CD rack of anyone who thinks pop music should choke on its own excess :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A new kind of revolution..., June 15, 2001

By 

Kendall A. Bell (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Social Dancing (Audio CD)

The second full length album from the Glasgow, Scotland trio Bis shows marked growth in all areas: lyrics, vocals and musicality. The album is like a mixed bag of styles. There are harder, driving rock/punk oriented songs like Manda Rin's 'The Hit Girl', a trip-hoppy, Portishead-esque song, 'Detour', as well as their all out pop blasts like 'Shopaholic' and 'Action And Drama'. Again, Rin has one of the album's strongest songs...Equal parts whip-smart and witty, 'Social Dancing' is the best pop album of the year. All others can only pale in comparison to the burgeoning talents of Manda, Steven and John.
