Editorial Review:
It's hard to resist a singer who fully indulges her sexual obsessions on CD, especially when they involve songs about transsexuals and--to paraphrase a bit--girls who leave out used condoms on their bedroom dressers to make their boyfriends jealous. And that's just Amanda Palmer in her tamer moments. As the mouthpiece for the carnival-like Dresden Dolls, she certainly knows how to scintillate. The Boston cabaret-punk duo's second album is a no-holds-barred affair that sees her singing about Nazi sympathizers ("Mrs. O") and bedroom antics ("First Orgasm") with equal zest, while the music she bangs out with drummer Brian Viglione fits the very definition of perverse. For some, it's the soundtrack to a kabuki-faced nightmare; for others, the stuff of strangely captivating dreams. --Aidin Vaziri

Rating:  - Yes Virginia There Is Good Music
My pal Patrick told me I would love this album and I wanted to run out and buy it but everytime I saw it, it was too frickin' expensive (I have a strange no over $10 rule when I go uber shopping) so I never bought it, though I did get a download of "Sing" and really liked it.
But then Dresden Dolls were tapped to do the True Colors tour last year with my gals Cyndi Lauper and a gal I like to call Debbie Harry so I thought I should check them out and before I even did, a new video for ... Read More
Rating:  - A very worthly sophmore effort
This has to be one of the most unique acts that are currently running. It is difficult to catagorize the cabaret style/rock music that they play. Amanda and Brian play keyboards and piano only, but they have never sounded to rich and alive than with the Dresden Dolls.
I orginally saw this group while I went to Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Tour, and have grown into a large fan of this group. Challenging to listen to at times, but their style is unique, and definately original. The tracks ... Read More
Rating: - This band is incredible!
I really, really, love this band. I just recently discovered them on Amazon and am so happy I did! If you are a Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Regina Spektor fan and like music of that genre you will love this group. Both members are incredibly unique and the lyrics are simply incredible. Buy this you won't regret the purchase, I can't stop playing their albums (also check out their self titled debut). I can't wait to see them play live!
Rating:  - Love the `Dolls, but this is a weaker album than the first.
I won't get deep into this review, but I have to say this was a little disappointing after their first album was so amazing to me. This one just seems like another dip in the well. They don't take any risks this time out, and some of the songs are actually a bit droning and dull.
I still LIKE this CD, but it's not among my favorites. I hope the Dresden Dolls keep making music, but I also hope they step out of the formulaic rut they've gotten themselves into. They need to expand their musical ... Read More
Rating: - All Scars On the Inside Please
I bought this album when it was first released quite some time ago and I've never managed to shelve it since it always manages to stay in the "frequently listened to" pile at the side of my computer. There have been quite a number of reviews commenting on The Doll's unique and "edgy" style so I won't get into that but I think to truly appreciate what Amanda is trying to reach in the listener one has to look below the to be expected lyrics about sex and other "shock topics" to the underlying meaning within ...
