The Pipettes

Posted over 3 years ago
Well it finally came out. I loved The Pipettes first EP that was on iTunes. Lots of fun. I have reservations about this album. It's not bad but it didn't deliver like I thought it would. The Pipettes are sort of a 60's girl group revival band. Much like The Delmonas were only not as awesome. The album is very well produced. The songs aren't bad. There's something missing for me though. I still love the song "Dirty Mind" but it sounds like they reworked it for the album slightly. If you a big fan of girl group music then this I think will be up your alley. There are some great songs here. I've been putting ones from the EP on my mix cd's. I was hoping for so much more though. I keep thinking of Spice Girls when I listen to the album. I don't know The Pipettes backstory but I'm hoping this isn't some record producers pet project to make a super group. I'll just have to wait and see how it goes. Any thoughts?

  1. Bawston Sean says I haven't heard The Pipettes but I really like "The Carrots":http://www.myspace.com/thecarrots. It's great summer time music. My girlfreind has the Girl Group box set that Rhino put out, it's 4 CDs of awesome. Highly Recomended.

  2. Killa says I have a friend who's been trying to tell me how great they are for a while now, but I can't help but be very unimpressed, just because someone's dressed in retro clothing doesnt mean they're not just hipster spice girls, I hope that didn't sound horribly mean because I do like a few of their songs, and I think their gimmicky performances are attention-grabbing, it's just nothing new.

  4. fistula spume says I like them but I'm not so sure. I love the Dirty Mind track and a couple of others. I'll check out The Carrots. Thanks Bawston. I've heard that Girl Group box. It's really great. There's just something about this Pipettes album though. I liked their singles but I don't know. Maybe I'm just crazy and need to just accept this new band wagon.

  6. fistula spume says On their album they say Pip-ettes. As in they are Pips. Only smaller. So what does pipe mean?

  9. LadyC says ok, if you really want to know "en argot, le mot pipe est également un surnom populaire donné à la fellation"
