BradleyWJul 26, 2006Pay attention Iggy & Mick, David Jo can show you how grow old with balls & real old-school bluster. Simply put Johansen is the real shit & that's what shines thru on this disc.

PhilCAug 10, 2006Not a re-hash of old tunes but a fun resume of things 'to dig'. A tongue in cheek swipe. Fresh, well put together......The Dolls are back, and let us hope for a little longer this time. We neeed more of this stuff..( But please can someone ask David to run with the Harry Smiths sometime). Loosen up everybody..this is fun. Excellent stuff.

PaulH.Jul 24, 2006Jeez, this is seriously the worst shit of the year. Anyone who buys into this wants way-too-hard to believe that the Dolls are back and still got. But I've said it once, and I'll say it again....no Johnny Thunders! Exactly. AVOID!!!!!

thehumanJul 27, 2006Nobody asked for this but here it is. If you can forgive Johansen for Buster Poindexter have at it, it's as good as any of their other records. 2006 is probably not the best time to remind folks that your band is pretty much responsible for The Strokes.

SpiderJul 26, 2006Goes to show that heroin has been responsible for some of the best rock music -- without it (in the form of Thunders and Nolan), this isn't genius, but merely competent workmanlike stuff. Buy it anyway, as Sylvain and Johansen have been ripped off for years.

ChadMAug 28, 2006This is the best album of the year, for the genre. It stays true to the old Dolls sound while expanding on it and making it sound fresh. This is going to be remembered as one of the better albums of 2006...critically, not commercially.

TomFooleryJul 26, 2006Fantastic Album! I can't think of another band that could come back with an album like this after taking a 30 year hiatus. David comes out with the same flair and attitude of the first albums, and the guitars sound tight as ever. (RIP Johnny). The Killers and the Strokes could learn a thing or two froms these guys!

It's the kind of rollicking, party-rockin' fandango which, genuinely, nobody has the spirit or wit to put together these days.
-
All the reckless abandon the New York Dolls name conjures, the spontaneous handclaps, sloppy guitar-slashing and youthful over-indulgence that made those early Dolls recordings such a kick are sadly nowhere to be found here.
-
If you're heavily invested in the Dolls mythos... you'll be disappointed.... Still, One Day pleases us, especially since Johansen, Syl, and the new Dollettes don't try to replicate the old sound but opt for the rowdy professionalism of Johansen's '70s/'80s solo efforts.
