- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

The big news regarding the New York Dolls’ second album since their
reactivation five years ago is the return of Todd Rundgren as producer.
Rundgren was behind the boards for their paradigm-shifting New York Dolls ’73
debut, and the group — whose sole still-breathing members from that first run
are singer David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain — were wise to offer
him a rematch. Unlike 2006’s uneven One Day It Will Please Us To Remember
Even This, ’Cause I Sez So (only the Dolls’ fourth studio album) is not faux
retro, and neither does it overreach in order to speak to 2009. It’s just
solid, classic Dolls, with all the swagger, muscle, righteous kitsch, and
ballsy defiance you expect, plus some new twists.

Those would include a non-joky, quite charming, reggae — yes, reggae — remake
of “Trash,” one of the centerpieces of that debut. And, to a lesser extent,
“This Is Ridiculous,” as close to straight-ahead blues as this bunch have
come (though Bo Diddley’s “Pills,” on the ’73 record, came pretty close too).

Popmeister Rundgren earns his paycheck just for “Better Than You”; it
revisits Johansen’s affection for Brill Building pop, and so does the closing
track, “Exorcism of Despair,” whose zippy “yeah, oh yeah, ah-hah” chorus
cozies up to the screaming guitars of Sylvain and Steve Conte like lovers.
Whatever reluctance the band may have felt about going back to the era of
glam, they’re over it.
