All Disco Dance Must End [Extra tracks]
Editorial Reviews
URB
Replete with enough pop hooks to make even the most dour soul sing along, Swedish act Whale strip away the melodrama of a group like Garbage, keep all the fun, stupid parts, throw some truly dated sounding "scratching" samples on top of the whole thing, and wind up with a magnificently bright-eyed album. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

A Little Bit of Something.......2004-02-12
An underrated record from an underrated band, "All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones" is a worthwile second album by Whale and one that better translates the pre-milennium musical fusion. This swedish band wisely mixes rock, pop, hip-hop, lo-fi, dance, trip-hop, folk and everything else to provide a refreshing, cutting edge record.
This album has enough personality, weirdness and originality to qualify as a solid, consistent effort among the current pop scenario. Its sound has some resemblances with Garbage, Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps, Pixies or Nine Inch Nails, all great bands either. Although interesting, this record is also a bit uneven, since the first half has a lot more energy, wit and inventiveness than the second, that falls into more common, formulaic and predictable territory. It is still a strong listen nonetheless, and a fine release after the debut "We Care". It also has one of the greatest titles ever. It`s worth a try.
Less Insanity Than "We Care," But Still Rockin'.......2003-10-28
Whale's second--and presumably final--album, 1998's "All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones," finds the wonderfully nutty Swedish group playing it safer this time around. While the band went completely *bug-wild* on their outstanding debut disc, "We Care," they keep things more or less straightforward on "All Disco Dance," with only the awesome track "Losing CTRL" showing any signs of Whale's outrageous rock from their first album. Otherwise, there's less shouting, very little or no trace of sexual wordplay in the lyrics, and a much more rounded feel to the tracks. Still, Whale are/were an amazingly talented band, and they still whip up some pretty cool tunes on this disc, like "Crying At Airports," the funky "Smoke," the fun "Puma Gym," and the catchy "2 Cord Song." Cia Soro (formerly Cia Berg) still knows how to get your attention with her seductive voice, the band still rock out, and the production & studio effects are impressive. As I said in my review of "We Care," I'm profoundly disappointed that Whale appear to be no more, 'cause they were just plain sensational, a major shining light in the modern rock genre. But I'm happy that they made two excellent albums, and, maybe one day, they'll do the right thing and come back! "We Care" is definitely my favorite of the two Whale albums, but "All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones" is also great, and if you're gonna get "We Care," then you gotta get this one, too. Long live Whale!
One of the most underrated bands of the 1990's..........2000-03-18
...But then again all of the really good bands are. Anyway, this is one of the best albums I have ever heard in my life. Every song seems to combine catchy (Sometimes even beautiful) melody with such great instrumentation, which mostly consists on excellent guitarplaying, megacool soundeffects and groovy drummachines (And sometimes real drums, too!); Not even mentioning Cia Soro's beautiful, sexy vocals. I truly liked all of the songs, which's very very rare... Not a song here was even a little bit under incredible. One song (My favourite on the album) was much beyond incredible though- The excellent closer "2 Cord Song", which creates a magnificent collage of sounds and is actually a biting satire on the music industry. The track later trasfers into "Subcultures In The USA"- A short, yet cheeky punk song that examples the, well... USA subcultures brilliantly. Whale are definately one of the best bands to ever come outta Sweden, right after ABBA and The Cardigans... Even a bit before The Cardigans actually. The thing I like the most about "All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones" though, is that it perfectly combines so many 1990's styles and sounds- The Cardigans, Garbage, The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Portishead, Massive Attack, Moloko, Broadcast and Blur are only a very few names that crossed my mind whilst listening to this wonderful recording. So, for conclusion- If you want a tourdeforce through the styles that became the signature of the 1990's, or even if you simply can't get enough of Garbage's two albums, buy this record. Trust me, you're gonna be grateful for this for the rest of your lives if you'll do so.
four loud speakers are telling me to priase this disc.......1999-10-06
incredile. trip hoppy funktasitic combines the best of rap and bongwater.
the 4 loud speakers video was the best thing i saw at resfest.
great, new, versatile album.......1999-07-08
It's hard to make a good new album in the 90's because there are so many great classics. But Whale's new album is probably the best new album I've heard in a long time. The songs have a great beat and combine wrap with many other types of music. I really reccommend it.
