Ripples far reaching.

Delenn Amanda Palmer & Brian Viglione are amazing creators and performers. Brechtian Punk Cabaret is the style of their music, and Amanda's distinctive voice and stage presence is so phenomenal. From the first time I saw and heard them online, I was obsessed. I still am. This album is a collection of live performances that at this point are iconic, at least they are to me. Incredible vocals by Amanda, massive energy from Brian. Joyous. Favorite track: Coin-Operated Boy.

Quinn the Eskimo AMANDA. AMANDA AMANDA I love you. Your music is everywhere on the map and all fantastic. This is an early Dolls collectioni (I think) and it's wonderfully raw. Favorite track: Thirty Whacks.

John Cratchley 21st Century Brechtian Punk Cabaret is the usual stance on the Dresden Dolls...I don't know if Bert would have seen too much verfremdungseffekt (probably a little too 'showbiz' for him,perhaps) buy I think he would have loved their razor sharp cultural prescience,their black humour and their absolute balls-out work ethic. I think they are quite brilliant and should be force-fed to insipid politicians everywhere.

aaronwriterguy Amanda Palmer always adds something special to her covers.

Sara Novak I love the simple composition of these great covers, and Jack Palmer sounds very reminiscent of Johnny Cash. Nothing but love for this album.

Gearald Becker I keep forgetting this one's a cover...

Delenn First glance, you might think this is just a bunch of demos, some of which ultimately became the album, and you wouldn't be wrong...but you kind of would be, too.

These might be demos, but some are tracks that never made it to the record, and some, like "Astronaut", didn't really change much from the version shown here. More instruments got added and whatnot, but at its core, it's still raw and visceral, which reflects this whole alternate tracks version. It's a visceral, edgy beginning... Favorite track: Astronaut.

nofatclips 1st listen: a wonderful set of demo versions, work in progress tracks and out-takes. A masterpiece in the making. Favorite track: Astronaut.

perseborous its all there in the lyrics tbh Favorite track: Guitar Hero.
