Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0016861792626 Label: Roadrunner Records Manufacturer: Roadrunner Records MPN: 179262 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Roadrunner Records Release Date: May 20, 2008 Studio: Roadrunner Records Editorial Review: Album Description: The band toured the world for almost two straight years in support of the hit song "Yes, Virginia" and in 2008 the Dresden Dolls felt it was the time to release to their devoted fan base the remainder of songs from that era, while adding some new songs they were passionate about. 11 tracks. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Yes, and NoDefinitely a solid follow up to Yes, Virginia, and partially because many of the songs are those that didn't make it on the previous CD. Its a fun album but does feel a little B -side at times. Despite this its still immensely enjoyable, and indicative of the Dresden Dolls unique sound, lyrics, and energy. A must have for the DD fan. Rating:  - Long live punk caberetSo this CD is supposed to be the leftover scraps from Yes, Virginia, but you wouldn't really know it. I wouldn't be suprised that the Dresden Dolls knew they had 2 albums worth of material at recording time much like Radiohead Kid A/Amnesiac.

Rating: - Doubling entendres with the voicingsBack in May 2006 I reviewed the album Yes, Virginia... by the Dresden Dolls, and I quote myself (after all, nobody else is going to quote me): "You'll need to keep an open mind for this one, but The Dresden Dolls are the most excitingly different duo that I've come across in ages." Fast forward to 2008 and here's "No, Virginia..." which isn't technically a new album, because it's made up of left-over tracks from previous albums and B-sides, but it's definitely good enough ... Read More Rating: - No, Virginia -- Better than YesI was pleasantly surprised to find this B-Sides album better than the regular album, Yes, Virginia. Yes, Virginia lacked some of that subtle quality of the Dresden Dolls earlier work that grabs your psyche and won't let go, but that quality is back in No, Virginia. It doesn't have quite the endless cavalcade of amazing songs that The Dresden Dolls debut album had, but it's every bit as catchy and soulfully twisted as A For Accident, and with higher production values. The Gardener is ... Read More Rating: - A little global warming never hurt anyoneYou know what gets me? The fact that the Dolls' sophomore effert, Yes, Virginia, was so highly touted by fans and critics alike and yet No, Virginia, has gotten NO publicity. I understand that it's not a proper follow-up but come on, these songs are incredible! In case you are oblivious to The Dresden Dolls, this is, and I quote: "A collection of unheard treasures from the Vault of The Punk Cabaret taken from the Yes, Virginia Sessions & featuring new songs from the winter '08 Sessions." ...
