Editorial Review: Product Description: Brazil's CSS release their follow-up to 2006's "Cansei de Ser Sexy" ("I got tired of being sexy"). They've toured worldwide a number of times with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, and Diplo, and played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork, and Virgin to Reading, Benicassim, Roskilde, and beyond. "Donkey" is tough, street-ready, and recreates the frenetic energy of their live shows. Equal parts dance party, urban circus, and out-and-out chaos. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Energetic party musicI like this disk. I saw one reviewer compare them to Blondie... OK, but I thought that they sounded more like No Doubt - fun party music. This is supposed to capture their "live" electricity, and I look forward to them getting up to the Philly area some time. Rating:  - Makes me sadFor those who loved CSS because of gritty guitars, culturally sarcastic lyrics, and hot hot sexiness, this album has none. Okay, maybe some. However, listening to their last self-titled album now brings the sadness of knowing what they became. I mean really, two songs on this album are called "Beatiful Song" and "Believe Achieve". "Let's reggae all night" is catchy enough to make my playlist. The low points of this album sound like an underproduced Britney Spears song, with lyrical content to match. I want my witty guitar-driven CSS back. Rating:  - One of the best feel good CD's aroundAnyone who has attachment to the 80s, CSS puts an edge for the 21st centuty on their latest album. Those low ratings are crazy for rating this album as average or bad. I bet you those low ratings gave trashy rap albums high ratings. If you want to feel good about yourself whether driving or working out, definitely BUY this album. Rating:  - CSS - DonkeyDonkey (2008, Sub Pop) CSS's second studio album. *** Another addition in the long line of indie-electronica bands, CSS has potential, more potential, than several of their contemporaries. Lovefoxx (the alter ego the lead singer goes by) has a very sexy voice, and she flexes it from time to time. It rings well on "Reggae All Night," an unorthodox dance number as well as on "Move," which sounds like a lost 80's track in the vein of Animotion. That being said, it's clear that CSS functions best when emulating the synthesizer usage and dance tricks of the 80's. Anything else renders Lovefoxx's vocals emotionally inert. It's when CSS forces you onto the dance floor when everything moves together, and beyond that, it's a truly hit-and ...

The fact that CSS isn't from around here doesn't give them a free pass to fob off vapid 80's skating rink music as fine art. This is mediocre disco. I guess it might sound a little unfair to accuse a disco record of wrongdoing for failing to be "fine art." But the Sup Pop brand, the boutique packaging, and general feeling inspired by the media that this is supposed to be special (or at least elevated above Miley Cyrus music) really promises a consumer something this isn't. Miley Cyrus could have written these lyrics. And while that would be fine for a fifteen year old, it's a little disappointing coming from grown-ups. I'd rather hear Portuguese lyrics ... Read More: |
