Hmm. This website totally thinks I'm in a different time zone. It's 11pm and a few moments ago it was telling me this album was tomorrow's album, and didn't show me The Byrds one at all. (Which I listened to and found pleasant enough. I liked "Thoughts and Words.") I didn't have much fun with the Dolls here. I get the appeal of attitude and image. I don't want to undersell the importance of that stuff and get all snooty about songs and musicianship and whatnot, because I like plenty of bands and songs that aren't performed by the most skilled musicians ever. But good crikey the bulk of this record sounds like a less nuanced version of the Stones to me. This is like Greta Van Fleet level imitation. And without being able to visually appreciate the attitude and image, I didn't have much to cling to. I sort of like the "Frankenstein" song, but it should've ended a solid thirty seconds before it actually ended. There were a few others in the back half that felt like they were approaching something at least less obviously influenced by The Rolling Stones, but overall... this feels to me like a band that probably got a lot of press simply by having the words "New York" in their name. So I'm giving them 2 New York stars.
