Free Music Notes for Yes, Virginia...
Free Music Review: Yes Virginia There Is Good Music
Hit: 4 Stars
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 their song "Shores Of California" came out and I was officially hooked.
I bought the album and haven't stopped listening to it. In fact every song is just as good if not better than the one that proceeded it. Full of sarcastic humor and tongue in cheek (I think) attitudes, there's a full blown piano pounding on almost every song and the incredible vocals of lead singer Amanda Power, the songs just blow into existance and stay there. The best cuts are "Shores Of California" , "Sing", "Backstabber", "First Orgasm" - though I must say every single song is excellant.
Yes, Virginia... Poster
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 VaziriAlternative Rock Music CDs
