Alternative PressThe Dolls' music... is as gripping as ever. [Jun 2006, p.188]
-
They sound more confident than ever, igniting their cabaret-rock with more crazed inventiveness and you-are-there immediacy.

New Musical Express (NME)The bastard lovechild of Tori Amos and an Eastern European touring circus. [15 Apr 2006, p.35]
