This is a German-only vinyl for this dolls' compilation of 4 unreleased recordings, one old demo, one cover song, and five new recordings!. This is a 180 gram [audiophile] vinyl, and it makes it 100% better and enjoyable. This is an amazing opportunity to get all the amazing punk cabaret attitude on vinyl!, you won't regreat !!

48 minutes of glorious Dresden Dolls madness. An excellent selection of songs with intriguing lyrics - the punk cabaret is growing up but it's still there with its tongue firmly in its cheek and a glint in its eye.
A few favourites:
'Dear Jenny' is a new song with the marvellous opening line of, 'Boys wear overcoats in the heat like this to keep themselves from showing..' - when was the last time you heard a song opening with a rationale for wearing a coat?
'The Mouse And The Model' is six minutes of glory for Brian going well overboard with his delicate and wild and careful drumming proving (if it's needed) what a great drummer he is.
'The Gardener' is a strange song, menacing with the threat ... Read More:

Back in May 2006 I reviewed the album Yes, Virginia... by the Dresden Dolls, and I quote myself (after all, nobody else is going to quote me):
"You'll need to keep an open mind for this one, but The Dresden Dolls are the most excitingly different duo that I've come across in ages."
Fast forward to 2008 and here's "No, Virginia..." which isn't technically a new album, because it's made up of left-over tracks from previous albums and B-sides, but it's definitely good enough to qualify for "new" status.
Amanda Palmer is as brilliant as ever with her dark, edgy lyrics, pounding piano and impossible-to karaoke vocal performances. This type of music (punk cabaret) may be an acquired taste, but for originality and ... Read More:

...but so far it's not there yet.
This is nothing like as coherant as anything else the Dolls have done album-wise, but then that's kind of the point. Cohesiveness of albums is something I have an odd relationship with - sometimes it's vital; Kid A's biggest strength is that it fit's together as a single whole, ( ) by Sigur Ros, equally, I don't see as an album but one single instrumental. Other times I like it when things feel like "collections".
To refer back to Radiohead again, Pablo Honey is great because it effectively a "Best of" album from their early, pre-EMI days.
So I'm sure yet, where this will come into No, Virginia.
I found my attention drift sometimes, when listening to it. Some tracks are brilliant; ... Read More:

I have to say, when I heard this album was a collection of b-sides, reworkings and rarities I was skeptical, but I decided to keep my pre order and give it a go......and I have to say i'm in love!!!!!!
In my humble opinion its a return to the glory days of the first album, im not saying yes, virginia was bad, it just seemed to lack something compared to their debut.
My personal favourite Lonesome Organist Rapes Page-Turner (disturbing I know) is a quirky tune in the vein of sex changes from the second album and is definatly the best track as far as im concerned, however the rest of the album is also amazing!
Amandas vocals are perfect and the combination of fast and slow songs with some frantic and some longing is just ... Read More:
