Editorial Reviews :
Not exactly dance-pop as commonly defined by Erasure or the Pet Shop Boys, Dirty Vegas's self-titled album nonetheless fits into the genre. In fact, 'trace-pop' is arguably the best definition, as it is the likely offspring of Madonna's Ray of Light and Electronic's seminal debut CD. Promising, yes, but the songs become rather indistinguishable from one another, mainly because the vocals--compressed and folky--lend a sameness to tracks that are otherwise diverse in tone and pace. About half the album really shines. 'I Should Know' marries a thumping techno beat with a euphoric Disney-like wonderment. '7AM' boasts the best melody on the album. The instrumental 'The Brazilian' showcases the song's strength underneath the homogenizing vocals. And finally, 'Days Go By,' featured in a popular car commercial, mesmerizes with synthesized bongos and cosmic rhythmic brush strokes.
Buyer Reviews :
I think by now we all have heard 'Days Go By' in the Mitsubishi car ad with the young people heading out to go clubbing. The song itself is just fantastic. It blends the best of house music with chillout music. The beats are rapturous and the vocals are heavenly to listen to. I will admit that I picked up 'Dirty Vegas' for that song alone. Now that I have heard the entire cd, I have to say that 'Dirty Vegas' is the dance album of the year. I dont' count Kylie Minogue's 'Fever' because it was released late last year. Like I have said before, 'Dirty Vegas' blends the best of house music with chillout music. Danceable yet you can still chillout listening to this album at the same time. The vocals are so smooth that the listener would almost die listening to. I love how Dirty Vegas sampled Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in the Wall pt.2' for 'Simple Things Part 2'. Then there is the hidden track of the acoustic version of 'Days Go By' which just threw me for a loop. I didn't expect to hear that which is a good thing. I totally dug hearing an acoustic version of the dance-pop hit 'Days Go By'. Truly unique for a dance song. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this album a whole lot. I definitely have to say that it is one of the best albums to come out this year.
