    Goes 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.

  1. It's the kind of rollicking, party-rockin' fandango which, genuinely, nobody has the spirit or wit to put together these days.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
