"21st Century Eurythmics" -- Uncut, 2007
"Dragonette are a rock band that play pop songs, We Love!" -- Out in The City, 2007
"The album is teeming with hit potential. Sorbara's voice evokes a cool Gwen Stefani, singing sassy ditties about sleeping around, being the other woman and other bad-girl antics. The slick dance-pop fits in somewhere between No Doubt, Goldfrapp and the Scissor Sisters." -- The National Post, 2007
"The new-wavish "Take It Like A Man" and futuristic torch song "True Believer" are two of the most fearsome choruses NME has heard all year" -- NME, 2007
"Think Gwen Stefani fronting The Killers. If you like the Scissor Sisters you'll love this lot." -- The Daily Star, 2007

Dragonette is far better than any other pop act out their, I can't figure out why they aren't huge yet.
If you like new wave, pop, or infectious dance music, buy this disc. It beats the crap outta Gwen Steffani or Pink

FANTASTIC Album!

I discovered Dragonette in late 2007 after hunting down their song "Get Lucky" after I heard it on a JC Penney commercial.
What I found was much more than what I expected.
I was blown away.
I'd never heard electro-pop like this before.
The music is unbelievably catchy, Martina's vocals are sexy and sassy, and there is so much variety so the album never gets boring or feels monotonous.
Some great songwriting found on this album.
Stand out tracks: I Get Around, Take It Like A Man, Black Limousine, Marvelous.
If you just like good pop songs, electro-pop songs, whatever, you need this album. I've been listening to it for 2 years straight, and I still love it.

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this group, but somehow I did, and I am all the better for it. I know some people hate comparisons, but I always find them helpful, so I am going to do it... The official Amazon reviewer got it pretty close to right on - I'd say it sounds like Gwen Stefani fronting the Scissor Sisters for an album co-produced by Duran Duran, Garbage, and Goldfrapp. I think you get the idea. This is ultra-catchy, ultra-fun electro-pop at its best. Every track is great. The album plays like a greatest hits collection, though it's amazingly the group's debut. My favorite tracks are probably "Competition," "True Believer," and "Limousine," but I like them only slightly more than all the others. This is truly addicting and delicious stuff. Definitely one of my albums of the year.

Absolutely fantastic

I fully agree with the previous reviewer in terms of artist similarities. I happened to be with a friend at a music store, and heard this on a listening station. I am oh so glad that I did! It's a great CD - content is a little different than standard top 40 stuff (ie. 2nd track lyrics, "your girlfriend's my competition, she is my competition..." but not vulgar. Track 6 makes me happy to be alive. Catchy tunes, and each song changes drastically in composition as you listen to it - it feels like you have more songs than the 11 on here.
