What can I say about this album?
This CD is nothing but sugar-coated sugar, to the point where it makes Pixy Sticks look like a health food. It has hi-NRG covers of Phil Oakey (”Electric Dreams”), Heart (”Alone”), and The Cult (brace yourself for it…”Sanctuary”) on it. The entire thing is sung by a girl who goes by Katy ‘D’ — with quotes, just like that — who sounds like she’s in ninth grade. She’s not, however, as you can tell by the fact that they’ve got her posed on the back in an auto racing suit with the number “69″ on it. This CD has not one, not two, but three songs on it that I guess are “updates” of some sort, given that the titles are followed with “07,” something you don’t usually see outside of budget best-ofs of ’70s album rock artists who can’t get the rights to one of their big hits.
This CD is awesome.
Seriously, the whole thing is ridiculous, but I can’t stop listening to it. I don’t know if that says more about Kandystand or about me, but as far as cheese-dance goes, this album is truly great. Take this review for whatever it’s worth, but this is the sort of thing that completely compromises my objectivity. I’m dimly aware that I haven’t got any business listening to it, but I can’t concentrate any further than that, because the speakers are turned up so loud. I’m trying to resist, but I find myself utterly unable to.
Must…show me how you find…the….SANCTUARY…

Judging by that photo of her, i’m guessing i know why her last name is ‘D.’
