Product Description

CD Description
'Yes Virginia' is the sophomore album from Boston-based burlesque punk act Dresden Dolls. Combining the seemingly disparate elements of punk and cabaret to great effect, the band give us an exciting lesson in how to make startlingly original music without downplaying the theatrical elements of yourperformance. Includes the tracks 'Sex Changes' and 'Shores Of California'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia, 11 Nov 2006
By RachelWalker "RachelW" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
A wonderful album. At first I thought it wasn't as good as their debut; later I found out I was wrong. The more listens, the more amazing this gets. It's perhaps not as subtle as the first album, and maybe slightly less cabaret-ish, but they can't put out the same album over and over. This one has a larger clutch of brilliant tunes that veer from the gently melodic Sing to the rocking Sex Changes, from the brilliant punk of Necessary Evil to the piano-based joy that is My Alcoholic Friends. Palmer's voice goes through fewer hoops this time round which, for her, is probably a good thing, but also suits the songs here very well. Th lyrics are wonderful, and Palmer's self-righteous venom is invigorating. I can't reccomend this enough really. It's the album I've listened to most this year, and I have no doubt that when the year ends this will be my favourite from 2006. No competition. Buy it. Maybe it'll be yours too.

4.0 out of 5 stars And now for something totally different, 23 May 2006
By Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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. Only the brave would start an album with a song about a sex-change, but this after all is punk cabaret, and wonderfully clever and entertaining. You'll see what I mean in the lyrics from the first track:

"No second thoughts the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter patter pitter patter
Of this little feat of engineering"

First single "Sing" is the last track on the album, and although not the best song on the album lyrically it's certainly ear catching. Other good tracks are "Backstabber"; "Modern Moonlight"; my personal pick "My Alcoholic Friends"; "Necessary Evil" and "Mandy Goes to Med School" where Amanda Palmer sings:

"I've been feeling dull as a coat hanger
Pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv
Giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be"

Give this to someone with weird musical tastes and they WILL believe that there is a Santa Claus after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing..., 2 Jun 2006
I should warn you not to go into this album with certain expectations. I did, hoping to find an album full of "Good Days" and "Girl Anachronisms". It isn't. This was disappointing to me, I'd loved the previous album so much that I just wanted more. But wait! What's this? Having taken the time to actually, y'know, listen to this album, I found it to be one of rare delights and frequent surprises.

There's a bold opening - "Sex Changes" - which is equal parts entertaining, irreverent and possibly the funniest song about gender issues since The Kinks' "Lola". "Backstabber" is Amanda Palmer's pissed-off righteousness at its finest, as is "Modern Moonlight" and "First Orgasm" stands as the weirdest and kinkiest of all on display (and that's saying something). It ends with first single "Sing", which is a song of rare beauty and magnificence. Essentially a rallying cry to the disaffected, a call to reclaim voices lost. You'll be weeping as well as grinning, following Palmer and Vigilione 'Pied Piper-style' through the album's denoument.

This isn't the same album as the debut. It's a more balanced and mature work, and stands as a testament not only to the duo's musically ability but Palmer's craft and talent as a lyricist and (dare I say it), poet. And it achieves this without sacrificing the crucial elements of fun and insanity that made The Dresden Dolls such a joy to listen to in the first place.
