 Totally solid album from front to back. November 12, 2008
I don't know why everyone is slandering this album. The production is solid and perhaps it takes away some of the grit that New York rock has become famous for, but the good outweighs the bad. The Virgins are one part The Strokes with fresh modern grooves, one part Franz Ferdinand with their dancy pop-rock, and one part early 80s Police...Just fresh all around. How many rock bands legitimately make you want to dance these days? Here's one to add to your playlist. Do yourself this favor.
demo-itis October 17, 2008
I'll admit it. I've never listened to their EP. The first time I heard The Virgins was on my local college radio station. (Rich Girls)
Loved the song, bought the album. Loved the album.
Please, if you like upbeat, catchy NYC style rock n roll ala The Strokes, you'll dig this. Never mind the naysayer 1 star reviews by the typical "I heard this band like a whole year ago, they were great then but now they suck because other people found out about them" music snobs. Put it on already!
 The Virgins - The Virgins September 5, 2008
The Virgins (2008, Atlantic) The Virgins' first studio album. ***
Drawing equally from the Police, 70's and 80's dance pop, and a little of their own creativeness, the Virgins have managed to create a decent yet slightly generic album. It's the sort of thing that anyone can enjoy as background music, but when the question is what the Virgins are contributing that others haven't, the silence falls. I don't scold them, honestly, I enjoyed it well enough, but when you draw so much from an influence that your song can almost be confused for the influence (on Rich Girls, namely), it gets you down knowing they could have done it better. Entertaining enough, but a bit too much and not enough spunk.

The major label debut of the Virgins features some songs that already appeared on their earlier EP, and you should put your money there. The songs here are over-produced and have lost the edge that made them so amazing.

I first heard One Week of Danger on Gossip Girl, and loved it. I found it on You Tube and played it all the time, and couldn't wait for a full length album to be put out. When I picked up this album I was sorely disappointed to find out that the music I had loved so much for the past few months in no way resembled what I had just bought. The music was slick and stylized and over produced, not leaving any of the grit that I had loved. The lyrics to One Week Of Danger were not all the lyrics that I had been singing for the past six months. This album could have been put out by a completely different band for all I knew, it was that different. I won't say it is a bad album, there are some interesting tracks on it, but for those of you expecting the raw version you heard on You Tube and Gossip Girl, you won't find it on this album.
