Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Dresden Dolls Comment: I love this band and this album! They are so passionate it's amazing!!! You can really feel the sparks fly. LOVE IT! Customer Rating: Summary: I am so happy I came across this band! Comment: I really, really, love this band. Both memebers have so much energy, there is so much passion in their music. I just recently discovered them on Amazon and am so happy I did! If you are a Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Regina Spektor fan and like music of that genre you will love this group. Both members are incredibly unique and the lyrics are simply incredible. Buy this you won't regret the purchase, I can't stop playing their albums. I can't wait to see them play live! Customer Rating: Summary: Surround yourself with velvet pillows and light up Comment: Dark cabaret. That's what they call their music and I think it perfectly describes it. The lyrics are very raw and so unpoetic that it actually makes them poetic. The compositions are amazing and dynamic, which you wouldn't really expect of a two-person band. Customer Rating: Summary: The Dresden Dolls - LOVE 'EM!! Comment: I don't usually like music with voices and words; I much prefer to listen to instrumentals and not have to concentrate on anything but the tune itself; words usually just get in the way of a good listening experience. *However*, all that changed as I was driving home from work the other afternoon, listening to a segment on NPR devoted to how up-and-coming bands have to spend so much time marketing themselves and paying out money to do so, that they don't have as much valuable time to devote to their songwriting as they would like or need. They spotlighted The Dresden Dolls and played excerpts. And I love them! I love the songs! The edginess, the words, the melody, Amanda Palmer's piano and voice (which by the way, can be soft & sweet or totally in your face). There's only 2 of them: Amanda Palmer on piano and Brian Viglione on drums - add the words and melody, and that's all you need for a great band! This particular CD has two of my favorites on it: "Missed Me" and "Coin-Operated Boy". Now I find myself singing along to the songs whenever I play them in the car (when did I start doing that??). I'll be buying all their other CDs, and singing along to them as well! Customer Rating: Summary: Dresden Dolls Comment: The album has a few really good tracks, but overall it could use more variety.

Editorial Reviews: Combine the smoky cellars of a Weimar-era cabaret with the rock n’ roll fury of Joan Jett, PJ Harvey and The Violent Femmes and you have a remote idea of what to expect when experiencing The Dresden Dolls.
