The Sisters blend '70s pop in the tradition of Elton John (and "Take Your
Mama" is totally in that vein), with some synth-pop (a bit like Pet Shop
Boys) and dance music that borrows from disco and electonica. Their
"Comfortably Numb" cover, which sounds like the disco Bee Gees fronting a
techno band, was a big hit in the UK. When I saw them, that was the song
that really got the crowd going. That being said, while it fits within
their sensibility, it is the least representative track on the album.
