"BEST BAND IN BOSTON" - Boston Magazine "Best of Boston" 2003 "BOSTON'S HOTTEST ACT" - Improper Bostonian, June 2003 "BOSTON'S MOST ORIGINAL ACT IN AGES" - Rollingstone.com Dec. 2003 "They're ahead of their time, they don't sound like anyone else, and they're going to achieve greatness." - Oedipus (Vice President of Alternative Music, INFINITY BROADCASTING NETWORK), in THE BOSTON GLOBE, 9/26/03 "This is the first time I'm writing a review knowing that the act will be huge." - M. Idov, in PITCHFORK MEDIA, 7/8/2003 "[The Dresden Dolls] electrify audiences with their lusty sets, merging the playful eroticism of Weimar-era German cabaret with the intensity of modern rock opera. To call their performances provocative would be an understatement. Carnal is m More... (Submit New The Dresden Dolls Lyrics) (Submit New The Dresden Dolls Lyrics) Awesome!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band The Dresden Dolls I really fall in love into this band.. I found it when i was searching the band of Panic! at the disco.. For the first time i heard the song titled of Backstabber, i believe that the uniqueness of this band cannot be challenged by any band (my opinion).. I like the songs like Backstabber, Coin Operated Boy, and Necessary Evil.. Good Luck for them!! Zuhairi - Malaysia Lyrics from the record | Reviewer: Stephanie ------ About the song Dear Jenny performed by The Dresden Dolls Sometimes Amanda just switches the lyrics around on stage, and these are probably lyrics from live performances so I thought I'd add in lyrics from the record. _________________________ live (sometimes): "Amber goes berserk completely; she's been here since last December." on the record: "Amber goes the hotline, we're all friends but no one ever answers." _________________________ live (sometimes): "Sad, but true—the high-gloss paint won't tell you what to do." on the record: "Sad, but true-the two of us might really make it through." This Song is Beast | Reviewer: iheartcoinoperatedboys ------ About the song Coin-Operated Boy performed by The Dresden Dolls i first heard it on the radio. i was just like this is pretty sweet at first and then i was just blown away. this song is awesomely brilliant. nothing is immune to its power of making u sing along with it. i want a coin operated boy also. :] Come On People | Reviewer: Schplynthia ------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls I don't usually post on these things but some of the responses I'm reading are really making me angry. This song is not about cutting yourself...nor is it even melodramatic when you really THINK about it. It is about self-destruction. Everyone self-destructs. Everyone does something to numb themselves, whether it is cutting, biting your nails, singing until your throat is sore, drugs, alcohol, sex, or even watching TV. We all do something to distract ourselves from real life. This song is about the fact that we live in a self-destructive society that encourages self-destruction on an individual level. We live in a society in which it is necessary for us to turn ourselves off in order to function. We are surrounded by a media that constantly tells us that we are not good enough. For the love of god, if someone feels bad enough about themselves to commit physical self-harm, have a bit of empathy and do not add to their troubles by telling them once more that they are stupid for doing so...I'm sure they already know it. ... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slide performed by The Dresden Dolls This song is frightening, not because of what it depicts, but because of how accurate it is to real life. Children, especially girls, have to live through torture like this everyday. I should know... :D | Reviewer: :D ------ About the song Coin-Operated Boy performed by The Dresden Dolls I've heard the song for the first time while watching KH parody aallssssooo. I got so addicted to the song. I got it on BearShare and I cant stop listening to it, and Rikus replica popping up into my head singing the song. xD n_______n lol desu. :D Backstabber | Reviewer: L ------ About the song Backstabber performed by The Dresden Dolls I like the attack that this makes on critics. "Don't tell not to reference my songs within my songs." It also seems to be directed at all fellow song writer. Amanda Palmer always seems to put drive and energy, and meaning within her songs. Something that a lot of song writers these days do seem to lack. Because of this, I just can't help but adore the dresden dolls, their quirky sound and striaght to the point, honest lyricism. This song really hits the spot, and really grabs attention. It can't go wrong with its catchy optimistic melody either. Hats off to the dresden dolls. My Alcoholic Friends | Reviewer: Heather ------ About the song My Alcoholic Friends performed by The Dresden Dolls i agree with chris. i didnt like any of the dresden doll's songs at first, but after i listened to them a few times, i started to love them. all of their lyrics are amazingly creative and its a relief to find a band with such an original sound in the music world today. In my German teacher's face | Reviewer: PJ ------ About the song Girl Anachronism performed by The Dresden Dolls This is just perfect, awfully catchy, if I may say so. It has such a great, panicked beat and fast lyrics. I said "I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM" to my German teacher when she told me I should go see a doctor. I'm afraid she didn't take it quite well. I happen to have cracks in my hips. Or something like it >o< Mmm... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slide performed by The Dresden Dolls This is one of the creepiest songs i've ever heard. I absolutely ADORE the Dresden Dolls, and I'll be so happy if I ever write any songs of my own that could affect me in this way.. but creepy nevertheless. Amazing and Yes | Reviewer: Amanda ------ About the song Truce performed by The Dresden Dolls In response to LieutenantLauren im not really sure but i do know that her parents got a divorce when she was young, and she didn't really like her dad after that. The song half jack is written about her father. My Alcoholic Friends | Reviewer: Rebecca ------ About the song My Alcoholic Friends performed by The Dresden Dolls hehehe. What a great, slightly silly and serious song. I cracked up at the part about the number of the beast. I have heard DD before, but was never interested until I heard this one. Masterpeice | Reviewer: carly ------ About the song Delilah performed by The Dresden Dolls As said in an above review, no matter how many times I listen to this song, I feel sooooooooooooooo connected to it. It is so amazing. Thank you Amanda and Brian. LOVE it!!^_^ | Reviewer: Chloe ------ About the song Girl Anachronism performed by The Dresden Dolls This is one of my favorite songs. Out of about 850 songs on my I-pod this is one of the songs i play most frequently(this and Dirty Business, Coin operated boy and a few of their other songs). I have all of my friends listen to it(literally). Even my friends who are obsessed with Akon love the Punk Cabaret style of the dresden dolls. I know this girl. | Reviewer: worley gordon ------ About the song Delilah performed by The Dresden Dolls I know a girl that this song is for, metaphorically speaking. Amanda has such a beautiful voice, and her heart seeps with sincerity. God I love You. Love it | Reviewer: Yuffira ------ About the song Coin-Operated Boy performed by The Dresden Dolls I heard it for the first time on a Kingdom Hearts parody lol. I played it like a million times so I downloaded it. A crazy song but I really like it ^^ Personally, I'll be choosing the literal interpretation... | Reviewer: Georgiana ------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls Damn, I've just read the reviews pointing out that it's NOT expressly about self-harm. Obviously, I'm really really glad to hear that Amanda isn't in that state herself, but... ...I was kind of hoping someone had finally written a GOOD song about self-harm! One that really sums up what it's like. There's so many frankly bloody awful ones out there that are so personal, they only make sense to the person writing them. They're usually melodramatic, unitelligent and largely incoherent and ok, they probably helped the person writing to let out a lot of their feelings - but they're AWFUL to listen to! So...I think personally I'm going to choose to continue to interpret them that way, because although I wish I didn't know any self-harmers and self-harm didn't exist, it still undeniably DOES and I need a song that helps me articulate and deal with it. (And just for the record, I'm a 22-year old perfectly normal-looking Scottish University student. People from ALL walks of life have contact with self-harm, you know.) I didn't think of that - Good Idea Though! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls The thing about a horrible father-daughter relationship is a really interesting interpretation. I like that - I didn't think of that before. But it is pretty obvious once you start looking for it. I couldn't see why there'd be any reason to write seriously about a botched transgender option - I never thought it was about that. Not in a literal sense. The first thing I made me think of when I heard it was actually a kind of feminist thing. About not being society's stereotypical girly-girl, but the negative aspects of having to be a bit masculine to keep your credibility. How you can't just give in and be a 'soft' female and still keep your self-respect. I think the father-daughter thing's more plausible, though. :) Genuis Lyrics | Reviewer: Georgiana ------ About the song Girl Anachronism performed by The Dresden Dolls This is such an intelligent song - it totally manages to simultaneously say so much about how it feels to be a bit...well, f**ked-up in the head, and at the same time sum it up so neatly. I've been having counselling because of self-harm issues lately (don't worry; I'm well on the road to recovery!), and this song's so perfect. It just completely captures being desperate for help and yet not really knowing HOW anyone can help. It's like something's gone horribly wrong with everything, and yet you can't quite describe what it is. Without getting into a debate, I personally reckon it captures that feeling way better than say, Marilyn Manson's tangled, metaphorical, humourless preaching or Evanescence's flowery-lyriced self-pity. Presenting the issue from the angles of all the people trying to help instead of just a victim singing about her poor little feelings, is what makes this Dresden Dolls song so much cleverer. It's smart. Great song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Shores Of California performed by The Dresden Dolls this song is great and so's the video!
