    For her second solo album, the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer slapped together an album-full of songs about Australia and New Zealand to coincide with her 2011 tour of the Australian continent.

    This album was a lot of fun, but if you've never heard the artist before, go pick up "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" first. That being said, AFPThis album was a lot of fun, but if you've never heard the artist before, go pick up "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" first. That being said, AFP delivers on a lot of fronts consistently. The album has a wide variation of styles, but each song is solid. About half of the the album is for funsies (Ex. Vegemite (The Black Death)), the other half is slightly more serious/contemplative (On an Unknown Beach), but it is all experimental. There's a ton of collaboration in this album. The lyrics are well composed, and just the right amounts of pre-song banter were put in to make the listener feel right at home without making you wait 5 minutes just to hear the song. If I had to nitpick this album, I would say that some of the songs felt less polished than usual (coughcoughDoctorOzcough), and the album doesn't seem to pull itself into a cohesive whole very well. That said, this album isn't just about the music. It's about how the music was made. :) Viva la Revolucion!… Full Review »
