    Following up the radio-raping success of 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing' was never going to be easy, and 'Kiss You Off' sounds like a barrel-scraping fourth single rather than the return to form needed  - especially after their previous two singles limped into the charts without reviving the fortunes of their parent album Ta-Dah. Ana Matronic takes lead vocal duties, leaving Jake Shears' falsetto histrionics thankfully buried in the mix, but the track as a whole sounds limp and insipid. Scissor Sisters at the top of their game are an indisputably great pop act, but this just sounds tired.  Time to move on to album three?

    • I was disappointed that they released ”Kiss You Off” as their next single. It would have been much better to have released ”I Can’t Decide”. i’ve been to 2 Scissor Sister gigs and this really gets the crowd going. They just need to change one word first though so they don’t offend the more ”sensitive” people out there (!)

    • This song is fantastic, quickly became a favourite when the album came out. The drum beat is a nice change from all the R & B going around at the moment. A great song to sing when you’re mad at your partner! I Can’t Decide is a great song too, but it it’s just over 2 minutes, bit short for a single.
