Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
They used to be seen as sex kittens, now on Doll Revolution, they look like the cast of Sex in the City. Yet 15 years after the Bangles' last album, Everything, the California power-poppers breeze back in looking and sounding as though they've been gone a mere 15 minutes. Eloquent, assured and sensual, Doll Revolution is measured yet mesmerising, considered yet colossal. This is one 80s comeback that really is a good idea.

So is this "doll revolution" some LA take on Girl Power? Or a glossy update on Riot Grrrl? Hardly. The Bangles never were ones for manifestos. Melodies are more their game, and these mostly self-penned songs display a beautifully developed sense of songcraft. "Something That You Said" is an exercise in sepia longing, while the sublime West Coast harmonies of "Stealing Rosemary" is a reminder that the quartet originally began life, 20 years prior, as Paisley Underground psychedelics named the Supersonic Bangs.

The gentle ballad "I Will Take Care of You" will have lighters aloft on the comeback tour, yet is also achingly intimate. And the yearning "Single by Choice", glancing back over a life half-done, is both a shoo-in for the soundtrack of the next Bridget Jones movie and also a knowing, experience-heavy poem that they simply couldn't have crafted the first time around. The Bangles have returned older but wiser and there is, as Doll Revolution amply demonstrates, simply no substitute for experience. --Ian Gittins

CD Description
'Doll Revolution' is the fourth studio album from all-girl pop quartet The Bangles and their first since 1988's 'Everything'. The girls continue with the pop-rock sound that served them well in the mid-eighties, but with a modern twist. The album also features the single 'Something That You Said'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back Bangles!, 31 Jul 2003
By S. Hanson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having been a Bangles fan since the early 80s, I was giddy with excitement at the prospect of them reforming. I went to see them at Shepherds Bush in Sept 2001 where they previewed a couple of the new album tracks and I knew that they hadn't lost that distinctive sound. In fact, they sounded better than ever!

I rushed out to buy Doll Revolution on the day of its release and I can happily say it's been worth the wait. The band sound so much richer, tighter and more relaxed than they did on Everything. This album showcases each Bangle's distinctive sound and style:

Suzanna takes care of the ballads
Debbie does pop
Vicki is deeper and speaks to the women out there
Michael is more folksie

Despite this (or because of this), the Bangles work perfectly together, producing their distinctively harmonious 60s-brought-up-to-date sound.

I love the California sound of "Stealing Rosemary" and "Ride the ride"
"I will take care of you" has to be a summer smash
"Single by choice" is very thoughtful and personal (not just to Vicki)
And I don't think Michael's sounded better than on "Between the two"

Unfortunately, I fear the current record buying population no longer recognises natural talent, musicianship, beautiful (non-manufactured) harmonious pop, so it's unlikely that the Bangles will hit their hey-day of the 80s. That won't stop me from buying every release, though.

The Bangles are back! Long may they reign!

4.0 out of 5 stars Are you experienced?, 11 April 2003
By Martin Warminger (Rickmansworth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
They're back! - And this time its personal. Despite being ladies 'of a certain age', this is a long overdue and welcome return to the gritty pop/rock of their debut LP, before the rough edges were knocked off and the spectre of 'Eternal Flame' had all but destroyed them. Musically, this is what they do best; a sort of updated 60s psychedelia with steely guitars overlaid with tour de force vocal arrangements (who else do you know that boast four genuine lead vocalists?). Most of all, this CD reaffirms the fact that they are a proper band, where each member has a crucial contribution to make. This is evidenced in the collective writing, arrangement and execution of each song where there is an obvious synergy between them that was missing on 'Everything'.

'Doll Revolution' belies the 15 years since their last effort in all but lyrical content, which now has the hardened edge of experience stamped on it. It's great to see Vicki Peterson back on form as the band's major songwriter, her 'Single by Choice' being one of her most personal songs to date. The weight of life experience has expanded the band's musical palette and extended their range from the wistful 'I will take care of you' to the storming 'Between the two' via Michael Steele's intriguing 'Song for a good son'.

For those looking for the simple pop of 'Eternal Flame' I suggest one of the many Best of compilations, but for those who love the Bangles or just love well-crafted pop with an edge, this is a fascinating CD and a great achievement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doll revolution-the bangles, 29 Mar 2003
An excellent revival for the bangles. They've made their twenty first century comeback with a different sound to what we're used to hearing from them.
This album is mostly rock based, and many of the tracks are an excellent blend of the acoustic & electric guitar with the mandolin and even some piano backing. Even if your not a Bangles fan, this is a wonderful collection of songs about what it's like to be young, old, single or in love.
Enjoy!
