Amanda Palmer has to be one of the best lyricists of this recent century. I'd rate this ten even if it didn't have any music, it was just a recorded poetry reading. The outstandingly spectacular music only serves to top off this amazing offering.

Incredible album once you get into it. Love Amanda, love the Dresden Dolls.

Dark, funny and clever as hell. I want to her home and give her a big hug.

I can't get enough of this album. It does take a few listens to reaveal itself but when it does, it's amazing. This is my album of the year so far. Although, I haven't thought that through yet but right now this is.

The first through fifth times I listened to this album, I figured it a little less interesting than the previous Dresden Dolls offerings. But I kept listening. Clever songs that reward further attention and analysis. A great (slightly more ravaged) voice. OMG drama instrumentals. Amanda Palmer is something special.

This album is one of those albums that grabs you as soon as you start listening to it. Amazing percussion and piano. Reminds me a lot of Arcade Fire, but with more impassioned (almost angry) lyrics. She has a great voice which covers a wide spectrum. Very good.

Awesome. Great. Interesting. Unpredictable at times, along with some pleasant harks back to older styles. A clash of them both, chaotically presented to us in an exuberant and amazing fashion. Astronaut, Runs in the Family, and Ampersand open the record with a very very strong start, showing each side of this album in just about 14 minutes. Strength Through Music is a chilling cut, written after Columbine, (which was a live favorite for a bit before the record's release, and made even more chilling with the occasional reading of the deaths and injuries in the Columbine shootings before the singing began.) The song is now preambled by a strange recording a man talking about gold, but whatever. Guitar Hero and Oasis are both fun songs, but the former ranks among the best, being one of the more successfully weird and elaborate cuts. Have to Drive is a devastatingly beautiful number, as are the two closing cuts, The Point of it All, and Another Year, the former being a sad study on either a drugged out mess trying to get better (and not doing well) or a person with Alzheimer's and how she is dealing with this person's unfortunate state, and the latter being a meditation on waiting another year for... well, who knows. It's a calm number, that has one of the best piano lines Palmer has ever churned out. However, I felt like it was all building to a big climax that never came. Sometimes this tension-without-result can be invigorating, but it actually just kind of disappointed me. Who Killed Amanda Palmer is a brilliant work and I am glad it is finally released.… Expand

What a gem Amanda Palmer is! AMAZING body of work! A tour de force - she's hafe a Doll but twice the punch sonically - and I feel The Dresden Dolls are genius! Who Killed Amanda Palmer is album of the year by far! Stand out tracks: Astronaut, Runs In The Family, Leeds United, Ampersand, Gutiar Hero, The Point Of It All.

Absolutely stunning. Haven't felt this way since I first heard Devil Doll.
