3.0 out of 5 stars
not all bad... just not all interesting, March 13, 2007
This review is from: Still Sucks (Audio CD)
This is what my reviewer Kris had to say about this album... "My overall reaction to this CD is that it's a bit blase. Which isn't to say that it's poorly done. The mixing is tight, there's plenty of energy and it strikes a fine balance between eclecticism and monotony. But in the end, too much of this just seems like uninteresting pop rock fused with dance elements we've heard before. No doubt this album would go over well in a club or at a party because there are plenty of dancers and listeners who will appreciate the vibe on tap here. But the hook missed me by a few inches. There are some bright spots in an otherwise unassuming album, however. The two remixes of songs by The One (these are all remixes and "productions" by A Touch of Class, by the way) are compelling, with "Ultramodern (ATOC Old School Dub)", for example, mixing modern dance flavors with retro touches. Then there's the trance meets synth pop lushness of "Erklonig" by Waldorf. I was, of course, enamored by the rocked up mix of Scissor Sisters' "Filthy/Gorgeous". And none of this is bad. It's just not all interesting." As originally posted on the website I edit.
