Some of the Transfer's best records have been themed, such as Brasil and Vocalese. However, their biggest commercial successes have come from albums like Extensions and Mecca for Moderns, recordings that highlighted the genre-hopping versatility of the vocal quartet and yielded big pop hits along with it. This album falls into the latter category. The previous five decades are harmonically represented throughout these 11 tracks, including traditional '40s vocal styling on "Embraceable You," a classic '50s doo-wop medley, and some Beach Boys-styled psychedelic '60s pop on "Feel Flows." They've always excelled at jazz, and do so here with lyrics by Jon Hendricks to melodies from Horace Silver and Marcus Miller. But it's the group's forays into the 21st century via songs by Brenda Russell and Rufus Wainwright that really stand out. --Mark RuffinCustomer Reviews:
They are still the best...........2007-01-11
the more I listen to it the better it gets. If you ever get the chance to see them live, don't miss it!
Still swingin' cats...........2005-08-16
As a person who first heard Manhattan Transfer live in the '70's, let me assure you that they have lost NOTHING in vocal quality or the willingness to branch out.
It's not "Bop Doo-Wopp", and it doesn't rise to the level of "Vocalese" but this offering by MT clearly shows that they are going strong!
Good but not Great.......2005-05-19
Vocal eclectisism, done very well.......2004-12-24
This album has precious little of that. Its vocalese consists of a harmonized version of Jon Hendricks' wonderful "Doodlin'", an old Horace Silver staple most prominently covered by Mark Murphy; and its doo-wop is the last cut, a cool medley of "Come Softly To Me" and "I Met Him on a Sunday" (complete with "Papa do-run-run's" in the background)
The album as a whole is as wide a pastiche of eclectism as you'll find from a singing group. From Latin-tinged ("Walkin in New York), to Oriental-influenced ("Greek Song"), to Mediterranean-toned ("Vibrate"), to straight ahead jazz ( Miles'"The New Juju Man"), this album has it all.
My favorites are the three cuts augmented with a string quartet and piano: the aforementioned title track; a lovely cover of Gershwin's "Embraceable You"; and IMO the album's highlight, or "Core of Sound." I think the reason these work so well is that, not only are they gorgeous arrangements in and of themselves, but also the violin extends the soprano range of Cheryl Bentyne, while the cello extends the bass range of Tim Hauser, so that the tightly harmonized quartet sounds even more impressive than usual.
Special note, as well, to the most adventurous track, "First Ascent", a space-aged sounding, tightly harmonized tune over a fast 7/8 background.
Based on all of these superlatives, you ask, why only four stars? Basically, I have to put some distance between this album and the Transfer's best, or "Vocalese", as well as the best vocal ensemble jazz album of the new millenium, or the New York Voices' "Sing Sing Sing." But it's a very high four, and I strongly recommend this album to all. This one will grow on you. RC

vibrate you.......2001-07-29
the best part of the cd though is (provided youve got the special edition) the pc addons. there are 5 videos to watch, 4 music vids and 1 long band/live compilation. good viewing if you missed any of the previous vids.
At last...a mainstream UK band with a mildly punky vibe!.......2001-07-29
What is it about the pathetically insular music industry on this silly little piece of land called the UK that is so anal apropos any home grown music offering a guitar-based hard edge? In order to break into the charts, every band which aspires to any level of artistic creativity over here has to sound like coldplay (i.e.; adult orientated folk indeee), or it isn't worh investing in! And everyone wonders why our so called top acts can't "crack" the US. It is because they are all...!
King Adora break that mould. "The Law" is a classic post punk jamboree, full of energy and polite anger. Other offerings, bionic being a fine example , pander a little to the expectations of brit... pop, without belying their vibe. Whilst not necessarily ground breaking, King Adora appear to be holding a torch for anything exhibiting the temerity to combine mainstream, creative (as opposed to manufactured) and real. Who else is there around at this level in the UK (Feeder aside) to compare?!
The best immature album ever.......2001-06-03
But the gorgeous thing about Vibrate You is it never claims to be making brash political statements. King Adora are controversial enough, but they're not at all revolutionary - there's no 'Anarchy In The UK' or 'White Riot' on this album.
Perhaps Placebo are a more accurate comparison. After all, both have an extremely sluttish, fe male image, but even Placebo could take on their subjects with a bit more eloquence.
Having said this, King Adora can write some wicked tunes - although by the end of the album you're getting a bit tired of Maxi's voice and the only thing that maintains its credibility is that, unlike most albums which maintain one style throughout, it finishes on one of the singles as opposed to a cheap copy of one of them.
I'll now go through the tracks one by one.
Smoulder. Musically : 7/10. Lyrically: 4/10. Musically its their trademark sound, perhaps Bionic would have been the better opener though. Lyrically nothing to write home about. Its also trademark: just something about his body.
Bionic. Musically: 10/10. Lyrically: 5/10. Musically its brilliant and perfectly suited to their style, a total thrill. Lyrically, again, nothing to write home about.
Big Isn't Beautiful. Musically: 8/10. Lyrically: 2/10. Musically, its wonderfully sluttish and quite cool. Lyrically, its abysmal. They take on anorexia and utterly fail. If the Manics' 4st7lb were a love sonnet, this would be a Steps love ballad. The meaning is way too forced.
Friday Night Explodes. Musically: 6/10. Lyrically: 3/10. Musically its more of same really, but the tune is quite good. Lyrically its some rubbish about drugs.
Aftertime. Musically: 8/10. Lyrically: 8/10. Musically, another strong offering, nice and catchy. Lyrically, their first respectable effort yet. I particularly like the line 'Shake The Skies allure'.
The Law. Musically: 7/10. Lyrically: 4/10. Musically, good, but not as good as some others. Also its way too short - I know they're all short, but 1.57 is ridiculous. Lyrically, its an embarresingly crude account of shagging a policewoman ('We did it in the back of her panda')
Whether. Musically: 9/10. Lyrically: 3/10. Musically, probably the best SONG on the album, although its not necessarily suited to their style. Lyrically, it looks like a critique on modern society. If it is, they're total hypocrites, because they're everything they critisise. If its serious then its REALLY stupid.
We Are Heroes. Musically: 7/10. Lyrically: 3/10. Musically, its another strong tune. Lyrically, its an obvious attempt at their 'You Love Us' (a Manics song) but they don't seem to get that You Love Us was sarcastic. This is not.
Supermuffdiver. Musically: 5/10. Lyrically: 3/10. Musically, the first not so good song. Its not that its bad, its just that I've heard it by now. Lyrically, its just more seuxal lust, as the title indicates.
Astmatic. Musically: 4/10. Lyrically: 3/10. Again, its too same-ish. Lyrically, its a sex account again. This is getting old! Untill.....
Music Takes You. Musically; 9/10. Lyrically: 9/10. This pulls the album right back. Musically, its a welcome break, as its very mellow, and its has lovely harmonies. Unfortunately Maxi doesn't change his vocal style, which brings it down very slightly. Weird ending. The only song over 4 minutes. Lyrically, their best effort on the whole album.
Suffocate. Musically: 10/10. Lyrically: 7/10. We can now return to the original style in class, with this superb track. Lyrically, its also respectable.
Scream and Shout (bonus) Musically: 5/10. Lyrically: 5/10. Nothing to write home about musically or lyrically.
Aceface (bonus) Musically: 4/10. Lyrically: 6/10. Musically, not good. Lyrically, OK.
Conclusion: Best songs musically: 1. Bionic (10), 2. Suffocate (10). 3. Whether (10). Best songs lyrically: 1. Music Takes You (9), 2. Aftertime (8), 3. Suffocate (7). Overall: 1. Music Takes You (18), 2. Suffocate (17), 3. Aftertime (16).
