OUT TODAY: New York Dolls - Cause I Sez So
posted by CHELSEA | Tuesday, May 5, 2009 | 5:17 PMI couldn't have been more excited for this release with the New York Dolls being part of my trio of all-time favorite artists, so as the doors opened at Amoeba this morning I was there waiting anxiously to pick up this disc. Cause I Sez So is once again produced by Todd Rundgren who produced the Dolls first album in 1973. The album starts off strong, clocks in just under 42 minutes and includes a re-recorded/rearranged version of "Trash". Why they felt the need to redo this track is far beyond me and I definitely could've done without hearing this version, ever. I mean seriously, a Caribbean-inspired Buster Poindexter-esque redo of their classic proto-punk hit? Oy!
However, with "Trash" aside, the album actually rocks and the production is reminiscent of their 70s recordings. Pick it up today or catch them up on the road near you soon!

Good album yes. New York Dolls album? Questionable. I can't help but feel the others were duped into being the backup band on a new David Johansen album.
Totally how I feel. But not even Johansen, Buster's making a return.
