  1. taTu, somehow, miraculously, still matter.
  2. If you don't like t.A.T.u, you don't like pop music.
  3. Although All About Us is good, glossy pop, any empathy lurking in these tales of teenage persecution is lost in translation.
  4. Uncut

    Starts powerfully... [but] fizzles out with corny ballads. [Nov 2005, p.111]

    Mostly plays it safe. [Nov 2005, p.140]
  6. Julia and Lena's voices are nothing special, and their lyrics are still derivative -- suitable fodder for Charmed or a Rachel Leigh Cook movie, but not the sort of thing that makes a lasting impression.
  7. Since the beats are monotonous, since the songs are insipid and forgettable, since the girls not only can't sing but have no on-record charisma, since there's no sense of style and, most importantly, sense of fun to this whole enterprise, Dangerous and Moving is the worst kind of pop music: the kind that is better to theorize about than to listen to.
  8. Although spunky cuties Julia Volkova and Lena Katina have improved their English-pronunciation skills, the hooks they're handed this second time around are decidedly duller.
  9. An album that's desperately hard to listen to, let alone care about.
  10. But if t.A.T.u. represents the tippy-top of the marketing universe, it also represents the bottom third of pop songwriting.

    First time I bought this, I almost drowned to sleep because I thought that was boring.But after the third time I put it on,I have to say this First time I bought this, I almost drowned to sleep because I thought that was boring.But after the third time I put it on,I have to say this is a good album. Though I still like their first album better, they absolutely still made it to my favorite musicians/singers list.For those who dissed them, get a life.there are lots of worse than worst albums out there.But not this one for sure.

    t.A.T.u. does pure sensual pop like nobody else can even fucking hope.
