Can you speak Russian? It does not matter. Tatu has come out with yet another CD of hot music full of raw engery.

Rating: - Another amazing album by t.A.T.u!
A must have for any t.A.T.u fan - this is the Russian language version of their second English album 'Dangerous and Moving'. While all except for two songs are in Russian, the meaning of the songs can be understood even if you are a native English speaker like myself.

1. Lyudi Invalidy (intro) - 3/5 - serves it's purpose as an intro to the album and is a nice piece of music, but doesn't really add anything to the album.

2. Novaya Model' (New Model) - 5/5 - one of my favourite songs by t.A.T.u so far. The English version, 'Perfect Enemy', can be found on 'Dangerous and Moving', but this version is by far the better of the two.

3. Obez'yanka Nol' (Monkey Zero) - 5/5 - very powerful song. The Russian language adds the to harsh impact of the lyrics, allowing the listener to fully understand the meaning of the song. Much better than the English version, 'Null and Void, which can be found on the 'The Best' album.

4. Loves Me Not - 4/5 - the same lyrics as the version on 'Dangerous and Moving', but with different backing music. Again, I prefer this version. The music just seems to fit better with the vocal.

5. Kosmos (Cosmos) - 4/5 - A nice song, the Russian version of 'Cosmos' from the 'Dangerous and Moving' album. If you like the English, you'll like the Russian.

6. Ty Soglasna (You Agreed) - 3/5 - Not as good as the rest of the album, given the constant repeating of the title phrase which gets very annoying very quickly. The verses, however, are up to t.A.T.u's usual standard.

7. Nich'ya (No Ones) - 5/5 - Loved this as much as the English version. Much slower than the other songs with primarily Lena's vocals for the whole song. If you like 'We Shout' then you'll like this.

8. Vsya Moya Lubov' (All My Love) - 5/5 - A beautiful balled, this doesn't feature in English on any of their albums but a demo can be found online. Again, a lot slower than the other songs, and is about a funeral if I've interpreted this right. One of the best songs on the album.

9. All About Us - 5/5 - Features on 'Dangerous and Moving' and 'The Best' as well as this album in exactly the same form. Amazing song, but no Russian version is available.

10. Chto Ne Khvateat (Isn't This Enough) - 2/5 - Not as good as the rest of the album, just doesn't have much to it.

11. Lyudi Invaldi (Invalid People) - 4/5 - Another song that I prefer in Russian. This as so much more meaning and impact that 'Dangerous and Moving', and is well worth listening to.

Overall: If you're a t.A.T.u fan, then you will love this album. Personally, I feel that their music is a lot better in Russian compared with the English versions.

Rating: - Invalid People
This album is absolutely extraordinary. The music is significantly better than its English counterpart, and per usual, the emotion of the songs comes across much more easily and fluidly in the girls' native tongue.

1. Lyudi invalidy (intro) - 2/5. Exactly the same on both albums, as it's just the beginning and background music to the titular song. I'm not sure why this is on here; it's nor particularly engaging and Lyudi Invalidy is by far not my favorite song on this album anyway. It serves its purpose as an intro but it's not worth much else.

2. Novaya model - 5/5. I love this version much more than Perfect Enemy. The Russian just rolls off the tongue better and gives it more of a harsh sound - you can feel it so much better. And I love at the end of the chorus as Yulia sings "Ya, ya, Novaya Model." The lyrics in English make a straightforward if somewhat inane song about enemies ('things I loved before are not for sale'? The English lyrics are kind of silly at times). This version is much more ethereal and vague in meaning.

3. Obez'yanka nol' - 3/5. Exactly the same on both CDs. Not my favorite song.

4. Loves me not - 4/5. SIGNIFICANTLY better with the more Russian techno-pop backing music than the Westernized guitar-heavy version on the American version! I hope everyone hears this version; it's lovely.

5. Kosmos - 5/5. A good song in both languages. I have no preference; I simply adore this song.

6. Ty soglasna - 3/5. There is no English version. This is not their best song. There's very little singing and it's extremely repetitive. There are a few moment when Lena and Yulia trade off yelling the title and the background music goes a bit crazy but it's not as interesting as their songs normally are.

7. Nich'ya - 4/5. A pretty enough song but in both versions it seems to be lacking something. The English lyrics make little sense however.

8. Vsya Moya Lubov - This song is beyond a rating. Etheral, perfect, heartbreaking - there aren't enough words to describe this absolutely, transcendently amazing song. The girls were going to record an English version but decidedly the lyrics were too unique to attempt to translate, and I am so glad they didn't. It's about a funeral - Vsya Moya Lubov means 'All my love.' This is my favorite song of all time, and has remained so these past few years. Absolutely breathtaking. This song made me cry the first time I heard it, when I hadn't the slightest clue what the lyrics were about.

9. All about us - 5/5. The same on both albums, but still a killer track full of attitude.

10. Chto ne khvataet. Another song that really defies a rating. It's ethereal beyond explanation. Absolutely gorgeous, and Lena singing the chorus is a highlight of the entire album. Another of my all-time favorite songs.

11. LYuDI INVALIDY - 3/5. One of my least favorite songs of theirs. I'm still surprised that this was the titular song of the album, as the rest of the songs were all better.

Album: 4.5/5

Dvesti Po Vstrechnoi was a better overall album, but the two standouts on this I would put above all their others, except for Prostie Dvzenia, which isn't on either. I think everyone should buy the album, and at any rate, everyone should certainly hear Vsya Moya Lubov.

Rating: - Buy it :)
Buy it and love it!
For those of you who have the English version Dangerous and Moving and don't want to buy the same CD twice let me tell you Lyudi Invalidy is different and I suggest you should own both. In my opinion the Russian versions of the songs have much deeper meanings and some songs in Lyudi Invalidy do not exist on Dangerous and Moving and some songs on Dangerous and Moving do not exist on Lyudi Invalidy.

1.Novaya Model'/New Model=Perfect Enemy Different lyrics "Your perfect enemy" and "I'm a new model"

2.Obez'yanka Nol'/Monkey Zero is on Dangerous and Moving and the English version is on t.A.T.u.'s The Best cd called Null & Void.

3.Loves Me Not this is the Russian edit same lyrics but different music.

4.Kosmos/Cosmos=Cosmos(Outer Space)Other than the fact the words are in Russian the only difference is an instrumental in the middle where the English version has words.

5.Ty Soglasna/You Agree An English version of this song does not exist although I did find a demo version and I liked it better then the one on the CD, I though it had better music.

6.Nich'ya/No Ones=We Shout Different meaning in the lyrics and a different ending

7.Vsya Moya Lubov'/All My Love This song is not on Dangerous and Moving. Even though its called all my love I don't find it to be a love song but more about life. The music is sooo beautiful and so are the lyrics. There is an English version but it only exists in demo form and the lyrics are much different from the Russian and the music is a little different too.

8.Chto Ne Khvateat/Isn't This Enough Not on Dangerous and Moving and no English version that I know of but there is a demo which i like.

9.All About Us

10.Lyudi Invaliy/Disabled People=Dangerous and Moving Different meaning but you get the same over all feeling of both of the lyrics.

So, Lyudi Invalidy does not have Friend or Foe, Craving(I Only Want What I Can't Have),Gomenasai,or Sacrifice but it does have all those I already mentioned.
