Vengaboys Are Back In Town!, June 15, 2001
That's right, after being released in Europe for over a year, the USA finally gets the revised new Platinum Album from the dance foursome VENGABOYS!! All I can say is "MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THE VENGABOYS!" They are currently on tour in the USA, so check ..., for TOUR DATES! Now, onto the review! If you liked the first album, you will like the second as well. The only difference in this album is that it is more dance AND pop, where as the first was mostly dance and house! Either way, pick it up! Here's how it goes: 1. Shalala Lala- This track sounds like you are eating pizza and drinking boo's at an italian restaurant/bar and the crowd gets rowdy! It is really cool and will find yourself singing along once your hear it one time!! 2. 24/7 In My 911- Another pop/dance song, not better than Shalala Lala, but still good to sing too, great for those hot summer days with the top down drivin around! 3. Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)- First American Single off "The Platinum Album". If this gets played on the radio and at clubs it will skyrocket to #1, making Vengaboys known more than just the "We Like To Party" group. This is one of the best tracks on the cd, it is my 2nd favorite song on the album! 4. Uncle John From Jamaica- What a Fun song! It was released as a single in Europe, but will probably not make it in the USA! Very dancy and singable! Perfect listening to this at the beach, very similar to We're Going To Ibiza!! 5. Cheekah Bow Bow (That Computer Song)- Computer generated voice with hard dance beats and the "woop" from "Up and Down", make up this song! It can be annoying, but might do well in clubs in the USA, if released here. 6. 48 Hours- Instrumental only, a techno song, no vocals. Very similar to Alice Deejay! 7. Your Place Or Mine- I think this song needs a match under it's $%^. Don't get me wrong, the vocals are cool, and the concept is there, maybe if a remix was done of it, or they sped it up a bit it would sound even better than what it is! 8. Skinnydippin'- This is my 3rd favorite song on the album and hoping this gets released as a single! It sounds like Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! and We Like To Party mixed! It has hard edge dance beats to it and will be a club and radio smash if promoted right and released! Cmon!, "Take your clothes off, Skinnydippin' All Night Long!" 9. Take Me To The City- WOW! This my favorite track and best song in my opinion off the new USA Platinum Album! It has got the hottest beats, awesome vocals from all 4 members and makes you want to jump, dance, sing and shout! This better get released as a single, because it was due to be on the "Charlie's Angels" soundtrack, but was too late to make the cut! "WAKE ME UP...TAKE ME TO THE CITY!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAOOOOOO!! Incredible! And can only be found on this version of "The Platinum Album!" 10. Forever As One- Vengaboys first BALLAD EVER! It is the only slow song on this album. It is great to listen to with a loved one by the fire, alone in your car (windows up) or just to relax to, I love it, I think it is great and if released is good for radio, with remixes for the clubs (if possible). 11. Opus 3 In D#- Techno Track, no words, similar to Alice Deejay, similar to Track 6- 48 Hours. Nice ending song! 12,13,14,15 All for your COMPUTER ONLY! Contains the music videos for "Kiss When The Sun Don't Shine", "Forever As One" and "Cheekah Bow Bow (That Computer Song)" also contains a couple of screen savers for your computer!! THIS CD MUST LIVE UP TO ITS TITLE AND GO PLATINUM, AND ONLY YOU CAN DO IT! BUY VENGABOYS THE PLATINUM ALBUM TODAY!!
