    Very listenable but too safe. No real standouts like on their debut (nothing close to Show Me Love). Not a bad disc but it sounds like the record company is phasing the girls out based on the cloudy production. You could buy worse CDs but I'd suggest saving your money. I bought it for $8.99 and I had to find out because I loved the first one so I don't have buyers remorse. Buy Very listenable but too safe.

    Ok, it's an improvement. A couple songs, like "Cosmos (Outer Space)," rock nicely. But there's still too much repetition, and they aren't good singers.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. An album that's desperately hard to listen to, let alone care about.
