2009, Roadrunner Records
VINYL FORMAT. A NEW album from the New York Dolls?! Believe it. The stuff of legends, the New York Dolls are back to show the rest of the world what they've been missing in terms of grit and glam-ittude.
"...David Johansen hasn't sung rock abd roll with this kind of strength, authority, and guts in years, and guitarists Sylvain and Steve Conte crank out the fire without too much audible worry about the weight of the past. (It also helps that the rhythm section is right on the money and Jack Douglas delivers the muscular but unobtrusive production this band always needed and never got.) As for the songs, with their frequent philosophical musings and multisyllabic constructions, this is heady stuff coming from what was once was a band of decadent street punk fashion mavens, but let's face it, one of the reasons Johansen and Sylvain survived and their bandmates didn't is they had a vision of the future that went further than the next party and the next fix, and the best songs on this album look at where these guys have been and where they're going with a mixture of intelligence, perception, and street smarts." - All Music Guide
