Im not gonna bore you with what I thought of it, just by me writing this review you can guess that I really like them, and I do, and so wll you. This is a geat album, it only has a few songs, that is the only real downside, but thats only cause this is their first american CD, but FYI, they are HUGE all over the rest of the world, they are bigger than Britney and Nsync, put together...dont believe me? Of course you wouldnt, cause you have never heard of them right, of course not, cause you watch MTV right? Of course you do, thats where you get all your music info from right? Well then my friend, you would be very very wrong, MTV only puts on what is "HOT" and then they stick with the same people for like 3 years, think about it, it takes 65 days for a video to finally be kciked off TRL, that means for 65 days you are listening to practically the same music, and by they time that one song gets old, the same artist has already released a new single, and your still looking at their perfect little mug dancing around your tv screen, T.A.T.U. is what you would call breakthrough, they made it through the piles and piles of ... old music, and are finally being recongnized by the US, its about time, they are HUGE ALL OVER THE WORLD, and we just not hear about them. You wont regret spending the 10 bucks on this CD, but it now before its costs 30 bucks like all the other CD's.
Rating: - Completely Amazing!!!!!!!!1
This is my personal opinion about the quality of this album, which is more POP ROCK than the Russian album which is more DANCE POP:1. Not gonna get us: If you like Pop, Rock and "THE MATRIX SOUNDTRACK" kind of songs, then this one may be your favourite. The song tell us a story about a forbidden love, and how the 2 girls will continue with it, doesn't matter what can happen, "They are not gonna get us!!" Really good one. 9 of 10. 2. All the things she said: The main reason to buy this album, the best song in it. One of my best songs ever TOP TEN. The best one. 10 of 10. 3. Show me Love: It starts with a phone call, in Russian, then with a slow and soft beginning charms you, it continues with one of the coolest chorus ever heard: "SHOW ME LOVE, SHOW ME LOVE, TIL I OPEN THE DOOR, SHOW ME LOVE, SHOW ME LOVE, TIL I AM READY FOR MORE". Really cool. 9.5 of 10. 4. 30 minutes: In how much time can pain kill you???, How much time does it take to forget pure and true love???, How much blood is it needed for true love to be free???. This is my favourite song, sad, melancholic and powerful song. Definetly one of the best ballads ever, and one of their singles, you've got to see the video, it is amazing as well. 10 of 10. 5. How soon is now: You are not dreaming, if you like the Charmed TV SHOW Openning, then this is your song, if you don't it doesn't matter you are going to love it anyway. It is the same song than the TV Show, the only difference is that this one really rocks!!!!. 9 of 10. 6. Clowns (Can you see me now): Are you ashamed of what these two girls are doing???, They don't even care, this song tells us what Lena and Yulia think about those ones who always critize and talk about them. It doesn't matter if you are straight or not, I am straight and believe me this song talks about forbidden love. If you love someone, then don't care if "CLOWNS ARE AROUND YOU". Because pure and true love is simply that. 9.5 of 10. 7. Malchick Gay: If you like Dance, Trance, Electronic or any kind of this music styles then this one will be your favourite song. Tender and soft song, really good one. 9.5 of 10. 8. Stars: One of the coolest song of the CD, probably the 4th best of the album. The Russian chorus make it more than special, it makes it unique. It talks about desillution and the end of love. 9.5 of 10. 9. Ya Shosla S Uma: "All the things she said" in Russian, actually it should be "I've lost my mind". Whether if you know Russian or not, doesn't matter if you don't get a word, this song is the best, can't denny it, can you???. 10 of 10. 10. Nas Ne Dagonyat: I love this song in Russian, in English it is "Not gonna get us". It is 10 times better in Russian than in English. The chorus sounds much better. 10 of 10. 11. Show me Love (EXTENDED): This version is the 2nd best song of the album, it is really amazing, it doesn't matter your sexual preferences, this song talks about love, my girlfriend loves it, I do too. 10 of 10. 12. All the things she said video and Interview: Well, we must admit that Yulia and Lena don't speak too much English, but it really doesn't matter, because they really rock singing!!!!!. Yulia is really sexy!!!, Lena too. 20 of 10. The best POP ROCK video of the year!!!!!!!!.
Rating:  - Good music with perfect marketing
A friend introduced me to the band yesterday evening. I took the liberty of downloading the album to check it out (Yes, I still buy my music, but I like to hear it first)...
I read up on the act on MTV's website (and checked out the photos. Nice). What you're looking at are two russian girls, ages 17 and 18, who have parents in the music business and - as the review states - a well-known and renowned producer. The girls are not confessed lesbians - they're marketed as such. They seem to take the stance that they love one another, but it remains to be seen if that love is purely friendly or if it's actually something more...
As for the music (which is really all that matters, unless you stare at album covers while you're listening): The disc is good. The beats are well wrought and the lyrics are actually pretty well done for this genre. While they catch some flack for not being native english speakers, I like the effect that their accents have on the lyrics. It adds a sensuality, I think, and that's what this group is all about.
It's definitely worth a listen. If you like to keep your techno in your clubs, then just check out some pics. If, however, you DJ or mix your own parties ... you won't want to pass this one up.
Personally, I think techno is great for keeping up my energy level when I'm doing housework and other mundane tasks. Yeah, I'm getting it.
