On their sophomore release, the Kills come on like a post-punk version of Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter--with "hate" tattooed on one hand, "love" on the other. Lyrics reference the two to the extent that there's even a song called "I Hate the Way You Love" (plus a slow version, "I Hate the Way You Love, Pt. 2"). Similarly, VV (Alison Mosshart) sings like a cross between PJ Harvey and Christina Martinez (Boss Hog). And yet, despite lines like, "Get the guns out" ("Love is a Deserter") and "Lost a lot of blood" ("At the Back of the Shell"), No Wow is too catchy to be a bummer (must be "love" asserting its presence). VV and Hotel (Jamie Hince) make their songs move and groove with a minimum of fuss, mostly just some grubby guitar, unobtrusive drum machine, and Suicide-like electronic pulses. Mitchum would surely approve. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

From a pure-pleasure standpoint, the first Beethoven's Wig was nothing to flip over, and the second disc in the series follows suit. However, that is not to say that this is not a valuable and possibly ingenious record. Those unfamiliar with the premise will quickly get the picture: Producer/writer/lead singer/chief clever guy Richard Perlmutter gathers a bundle of important classical works (Paganini's "Violin Concerto #2," Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz") and makes up silly, catchy lyrics to lay over them, informing the listener about the piece or its composer. Standing out for their offbeat brilliance this time are "Dvorak the Czechoslovak" ("Humoresque #7," Dvorak) and "Wow What a Wedding Cake" (Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn). Few stabs at mixing education with entertainment succeed so well. As a bonus, the second half of the CD repeats the symphonies straight up, presenting a neat opportunity to quiz kids 5-12 on what and who they've just heard. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:
Greatest baby gift ever.......2007-03-15
Great for the whole family.......2007-01-04
More Great Fun.......2006-03-13
One is better but this is still awesome!! Gotta have it!.......2006-01-10
Yes, one is the best but 2 is still wonderful.
Save yourself the shipping and order both at the same time.
We all thoroughly enjoy it. My 4 yr old can name these classicals when he hears them elsewhere and he can hum these beautiful songs. Much better than kiddie rhymes and Disney jingles. Culture your children the funniest way!!
Absolute joy, and endless fun!.......2005-11-15

this band rocks .......2006-09-07
The Kills are like eating 90% cocoa chocolate - not much sugar or cream, but overpoweringly dark and delicious. Not everybody has the taste for it, but those who do will love this.
Rock Fast, Die Young.......2006-03-13
Strange... but who ever said that was a bad thing?.......2005-09-30
1. No Wow- ...I was greeted by a sinister, strangely compelling fuzz. After I was comptetely addicted to the sound itself, the voice came, and I was hooked. Telephone Radio Germany is at the end of this or the beginning of Love Is A Deserter. I can't quite tell, but that's the only part of the album I regularly skip anyway.
2. Love Is A Deserter- I love a song where, when the singer tells you to sleep, you suddenly become wide awake and watchful. This is one of them ("Hammering In My Head" by Garbage is another).
3. Dead Road 7- I can feel the lonely, winding road...
4. The Good Ones- Seemingly wistful, maybe even happy, until they start talking about being self-destructive to make yourself appreciate what is around.
5. I Hate The Way You Love- My favorite. It has some of the best lyrics on the CD, as well as a nicely insane feeling.
6. I Hate The Way You Love Pt. 2- She mournfully, beautifully sings "I hate the way you love" over and over.
7. At The Back Of The Shell- Playground hand clapping and boldly attacking words.
8. Sweet Cloud- More good lyrics: "I love him so, in turn I kill. I know no words to make it right."
9. Rodeo Town- She bitterly asks, "If I'm so evil, why are you satisfied?"
10. Murdermile- A fast, wild, raucous song interspersed with a guy saying "You've got me on the wrong track honey."
11. Ticket Man- A nicely melancholy song that sounds like it was sung during the Great Depression, at least to me, because of the simplicity and worry.
Totally awesome.......2005-07-28
Having heard 4 or 5 of the album tracks already, I knew what to expect. But I really isn't until you listen to the whole album that you hear such songs as lead single 'The Good Ones' and forthcoming single 'Love Is A Deserter', in context, at their best. Every song literally bristles with sexiness, with tension, as VV's moaning, strained vocals hover perfectly matched to Hotel's fuzzy guitar. Surely, if ever there was a match made in heaven, this was it.
It's an album on which you have to take a long, long time to choose stand out tracks. For me, it's the songs where VV really lets loose, where you hear what she can really do with that voice of hers. On 'Rodeo Town', the most calm and, in my opinion, most beautiful, of all the album's songs, VV's vocals are gorgeous, the song itself is amazing. 'Sweet Cloud' is notable for its particularly bitter chorus 'I know no words to fix my killing, but I'd do anything to bring my brother alive', and its nagging hook, that will absolutely stick in your head for days.
Now I've only mentioned the end half of the album so far, where the beginning is equally as good. The first 5 songs are just full of tension, the sort of pent up rock music that just makes you wanna pick up a guitar, or have sex, or drink, a lot. Something extreme anyway. As a record's beginning, they really knock you for six. Single 'The Good Ones' is the singular most sex-filled song I've ever known, it just bristles with energy, and it's dark lyrics really shine amongst The Kills' other babies. Then there's 'Dead Road 7' - phwoar, that girl can't half yell. It's a real shocker this one, but absolutely beautiful all at once. Future single 'Love Is A Deserter' asks us to 'Get the guns out' repeatedly, to a point where the message is so much hammered home that it is tempting to, indeed, get a gun out. Title track 'No Wow' really does deserve a wow, after all, what other song could pull off the first line: 'Gonna have to step over my dead body, before you walk out that door.' Now that, my friends is real music.
Then, what other band could pull off this record? The Kills have successfully created a stand out album, which will be a definitive album this year. It's sexual, it's tense, it's taut, it's bare, sparse, torn apart, put back together again and bloody well put in a dual case for your listening pleasure.
Now THAT's music. Again, altogether now, WOW.
Poor follow up to to a good first album.......2005-06-29

4 out of 5 stars Good Listening
Reviewer: P. Yancey
The music has a wave jazzy feel. Great to listen to while you're chilling after a long day. Excellent music.
5 out of 5 stars Its like going back in time to the great music of the 70's and 80's!
Reviewer: Freddie Snedecor
NouveauRetroPop is THE WAY to describe this music. Its like going back in time to the great music of the 70's and 80's. The songs are well crafed; the production is superb. I like it. a lot.
4 out of 5 stars This is a fine collection of songs that will soothe your soul.
Reviewer: Malcolm W. Adams, President & Executive Producer, Totown Records
NouveauRetroPop is an accurate description of this fine collection of songs. The phat tracks reflect a musicianship that qualifies this project as a major one. It is the smooth dulcent tones of the lead vocalist that make this material distinctive. A great listen for sophisticated Adult music lovers who want something they can refer back to for enjoyment time and time again. I give it Four thumbs up.
5 out of 5 stars Now this is music!
Reviewer: Zan Yarborough
WOWÉ. What a breath of FRESH MUSIC for your EARS! No disrespect to what's been out on the charts so far but it's always great to hear real music by real catz singing and playing their instruments. Each of the tracks has something for everybody from the lovers to the smooth funky rockers. Man....once people get a taste of this new Shampen & the Chill CD, I know it's going to the top of the charts. I heard the CD is selling like HOT CAKES, so I have a few copies because I know it won't be long before someone tells me the CD is SOLD OUT! Word to the Wise! Get your copy soon.... It's a must have!
4 out of 5 stars Great mood setting music! Reminds me of a young Isaac Hayes..
Reviewer: Will Miller - Motor City Entertainment, Inc.
"On The Way To Heaven", "Love With You", "Here's A Tear From Me To You", "Stay With Me Tonight", and "If I Had To Do It Again" are songs with lots of heart, melody and soul. These songs are perfect for that intimate mood. Shampen's warm voice has a distinctive richness that reminds me of a young Isaac Hayes.
4 out of 5 stars You can play it in the car while riding with children under 13!
Reviewer: AG 10th Dimension
Looking for R E A L flavor "Shampen & The Chill" is giving it to you. Personally I like fat bass and Fat Bass is one of the elements I hear. Vocals lay right over it and fits right in the mix. You can tell "The Chill", are seasoned professionals and they accommodated the vision Shampen has put forth. Very inspiring! Of course this is Real Song Writing and not just a beat with some words slapped on it. What do you get when you buy this album? Something Real! Something fun! Something for everyone! Check it out...
5 out of 5 stars
Reviewer: Ed Durbrow
My wife often listens to this CD. That says a lot right there. I have many self produced CDs, but when I want to show somebody what can be done, I put on this CD. However, this is not just a collection of well produced tracks, these are songs with heart and melody and a soulfulness that sticks.
