The Dresden Dolls

Liking these guys lately.

What do you guys think?

I love them! Love them!

Have both their CD's, and a DVD.

Amanda Palmer is pretty much the main reason why I'm learning piano, and why I learned how to sing. 👆

I pretty much like all their songs on their first CD, and there are only a couple songs I don't like on their second CD. Both great though. 👆

I like the song Coin Operated Boy

Yeah, that was the first song I heard by them, I was instantly hooked. I didn't know who they were, so I'd go crazy if they didn't say who they were afterwards. About after 3 times of hearing the song, they said it was by the Dresden Dolls.

They definitely have other great stuff too. I COMPLETELY recommend buying their first self-titled album. It's amazing, and it opened up my mind even more musically.

I used to be into The Dresden Dolls big time about a year ago.
I haven't had the chance to hear any of their new stuff, though.
How is it?

It's pretty good, a lot more Cabaret-like.

im not a big fan of them myself but a few of my friends like them alot and have seen them a few times so i see alot of dvds and hear cds of them and they are a very unique sound for a duo. 🙂

Yeah, Amanda, the singer/pianist, invented the genre "Punk Rock Cabaret" so they wouldn't be called "goth".

good for them!!

Zomg, so I got a Dresden Dolls Companion piano/guitar/vocals book. It is beyond awesome.

It has a huge intro written by Amanda Palmer, starting off with her musical influence as a kid, to a teen, to a college student, and how she met Brian, and how things started up, and it's just so interesting! Lots of cool artwork in it, as well as photos, and of course, music. But the music notation has notes made by Amanda in it, it's so funny and cool.

Ah I love this band 😍

I bought their latest album, No, Virginia at Barnes & Noble a few days ago, for about 8 bucks.

Totally worth it. I've only listened to it a handful of times yet, but my favorite songs so far would have to be Night Reconnaissance, and The Mouse and the Model.

If you're getting into the Dresden Dolls, I'd still recommend getting their first album though, and get the rest of their albums in chronological order. But then again, you can probably jump in at any time. I'd recommend the first album for a starter for the more mature crowd, and Yes, Virginia and No, Virginia for the younger crowd, and A is for Accident for any seasoned fan, just 'cause that's a live album.

Technically it's a compilation.

True, true, a collection of previously recorded songs and such. Probably should have said that, but thanks for the correction.

Really good quality 👆

EDIT: I have to admit, I was a little upset they didn't have Pierre on there, but maybe they'll release that someday.
