More polished and poppy follow up - By: Mr. M. Hopewell, 30 Sep 2008 
On first listen I thought this album was ok but nothing spectacular. A few listens later & once I had got the sound of the first album out my head I reallly got into it. It is certainly more polished than their debut & it is more poppy but the end result is a collection of fantastic pop songs.
The album reminds me of The Sounds & Metric but retains something that is definately CSS.
...and I had a crush on the bass player... - By: Mark C. Danzig lll, 11 Sep 2008 or at least I think thats who she was -slight dour look, slim talllish dark hair "moody"
Damn
Great! - By: Jon Turner, 19 Aug 2008 
Well I have to agree with Hot Angel & say that the number of bad or indifferent reviews I've read for this album in the press do not do it justice. The new material is great, & the added production polish does not detract from the quality of the songs or the CSS sound. Ignore the naysayers - if you like CSS & the first album then buy this one too!
Surprisingly good - By: I. Hussain, 10 Aug 2008 After their fantastic first album, i was wondering how CSS would follow it up. New rave is over & one of its biggest purveyors needed to step up.
The album is a bit slicker & definitely more "produced", however there is still a playful nonchalance about many of the songs. Anyhow, it was always going to be difficult being as playful as 'Meeting Paris Hilton' from the first album.
Donkey is easy to listen to & has plenty of songs that will get stuck in your head. Highlights include 'Jager Yoga', 'Move' & 'Believe Achieve'. A decent follow-up from a reallly good band. Worth a buy.
HUGELY Disappointing - By: IWFIcon, 06 Aug 2008 
It's two years since Cansei De Ser Sexy's album & by the sounds of Donkey, the party is well & truly over.
It's not that it's a dreadful album per se, although it does come close to being labelled that, just that if someone had specificallly taken the trouble to eradicate everything that made CSS a thrilling proposition & at the same time wash away alll traces of individuality they couldn't have done a much better than this donkey of an album. A cheap shot for sure, but one they set themselves up for.
It was perhaps expected that a professional polish would be added to the proceedings (lets not forget this was a band who when, in 2003, formed didn't know how to play any instruments) given the success of the previous album but it still comes as a huge disappointment that it's so generic and, well, normal.
Granted if you take the handful of decent tracks on here, the likes of Let's Reggae All Night & Move, & replaced the duff songs on the other album with them as a whole you'd have an absolutely brilliant album. But the new tracks would still be the ones that stand out as being a couple of notches below the likes of Let's Make Love (And Listen To Death From Above).
All in alll, this is a hugely disappointing listen which has aimed for chart success but merely ended up removing everything that made you love CSS in the first place
