Free Music Review: The way it should be
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is a lot of fun. Let's not over analize it and compare it to the old Dolls and cry that Johnny Thunders is not on it. It's just filled with great Rock and Roll songs with great Rock and Roll guitar. It makes me smile. From the DVD, it appears these guys are having a great time and they deserve it. They also deserve for this album to make them a lot of money. They get so much credit for influencing so much music it's time for them to get paid like they should.Free Music Review: An album with a big, loud, beautiful, rock and roll heart

More than 30 years after imploding, or petering out, or whatever it was they did at the end of the line, here is a new album by the New York Dolls. Its very existence is remarkable. Of course, this is not the same Dolls of yore: Johnny, Arthur, Jerry, and Billy are gone. Some reviewers have said this should have been called a David Johannsen solo record. Fair enough, but if David and Syl want to call it a Dolls record they have earned the right. So what about the music? Loud, sweet, fun, nostalgic, you can practically hear David smiling through this one. The menace and shock of the original incarnation is long gone, replaced by the graceful joy of being a rock and roll survivor. This is an album with its heart on its sleeve: a joyous celebration of great, fun, rock and roll. David's lyrics are unlike anything in rock and roll today: funny, wistful, and wise, all delivered in a mellower version of the low-voiced bray of "Babylon" and "Personality Crisis." Is there anyone else currently recording that could deliver the words of "Dance Like Monkey?" He is poking fun at a pretty young creationist, but never results to sarcasm or bad manners, but instead invites her along for the party. He seems bemused: what other current pop singer can pull off bemusement? The band rocks with a big, beautiful directness throughout: no one is trying to imitate Johnny Thunders' patented barbed-wire guitar sound, but instead blast out a rainbow of tight, hard, rock and roll. Okay, the rainbow line might be corny, but it is the Dolls we are discussing: a band that always had flash and color to spare. Did I say "had?" Get this record and you will see that they still "have" the spirit of rock and roll in spades. Free Music Review: New York Dolls, Seems like old times

I've been a Dolls fan since I was literally a kid, and now as a middle aged guy, still love them. This album is fabulous, David Jo still sounds great. I really was impressed with how good it sounds, 35 years later! Bought it without hearing it, and put it on my I Pod Shuffle, and it brings back the old memories of being a youngster going to see David Jo in clubs from the Jersey Shore to lower manhattan. Worth the 15 dollar crap shoot!!Free Music Review: thanks ...

hey NYDs - thanks. Crazy, but I had never heard of you until this release. How the hell did I miss you back then? Anyway ... I absolutely love this stuff. Thanks. I particularly LOVE Ain't Got Nothin'. I heard this first, without seeing you -- and envisioned a picture of a Van Morrison type character singing it ... shocked to look up and see you guys. It shows just how your stuff is deeper than looks. Again, thanks. I really am enjoying your music. I hope to see you live in Santa Fe or Albuquerque one day. Hope your tour could stop by here. Maybe we can have a beer.Free Music Review: BUY THIS NOW!!!

Simply put, this is the best new album I've purchased in years. It's just a no-b.s. straight-up rock and roll cd. High points, not that there are any low points, are Dancing on the Lip of a Volcano, I Ain't Got Nothing, and Fishnets & Cigarettes. THE DOLLS ARE BACK, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
