Although some of these are outakes and B-sides from the Yes, Virginia sessions I actually like this album more than I like Yes, Virginia. Most of the songs are really good and the couple of songs that aren't my favorites still have their moments. Good Stuff.

To use a tried-and-true phrase: Lesser bands could make a career out of the B-sides of the Dresden Dolls. Some of the material sounds under-rehearsed and stays one step behind the tightly-knit performances of Yes, Virginia, but Amanda and Brian shine throughout with their unique take on things pop and not pop. Subversive without being tiresome, ironic without descending into sarcasm, catchy but never trite - and thank you for the nostalgic walk down pretty-in-pink lane, which never fails to make me smile. Time to count the weeks til Amanda's solo album comes out.

WOW these guys are screwed up... wait they ARE guys right? p.s. it gets a 1 just because it isnt rap.

Amanda and Brian make leftovers a tasty treat! This is such a great body of work. I try to listen to it not thinking about b-side or cut tracks. I just hear what I fell in love with years ago - the best damn fresh sound since Nirvana! Cheers to The Dresden Dolls, may their road be long. Go get all the albums right now - you'll thank me! :)
