    No, Virginia ranks with Elvis Costello's "Taking Liberties" as a B-sides/leftovers album that turns out to be more fun and more revealing than a thought-out official release.

    Considering that it's an album of leftovers--one B-side from "Yes, Virginia...," four unreleased recordings, one old demo, a cover, and five new recordings, to be exact--the songs on No, Virginia... are unexpectedly strong.

    This is a less than ideal introduction to the oeuvre of the usually intriguing 'Dolls. [July 2008, p.93]

    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.… Expand

    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! :)… Expand
