Scissor Sisters debut Album is also by far there biggest, plenty of well known tracks on here whilst also containing one of the worst cover songs of all time with 'Comfortably Numb' , how i have sat through this song 8 times this week is a bigger personal achievement than completing the Marathon, away from this the released tracks 'Laura', 'Take Your Mama', 'Mary' and 'Filthy/Gorgeous' are good catchy pop songs, the rest are pretty garbage, lyrically most of this is pretty camp (shock) and whilst highlighting some important topics they are done in tongue in cheek, fun natured electro pop but not really my cup of tea.
