new Dresden Dolls and Regina Spektor records

They're bad. Like, really bad.

The Dresden Dolls one just plain doesn't have good songs on it. I'd only recommend Dirty Business off of it. The rest I've heard so far is unsalvageable shit.

The Regina Spektor one is tragic in the Fiona Apple way, and I might have to post the live versions just to give the other Spektor fans something decent to listen to before the awful professional one comes out. Someone thought the girl was Dido, and the result is a nightmare.

I have a really bad ass live show of her performing many of the new songs. If people want it, I can post.

Anyone else heard the new records?

I don't think Regina's new one is bad. Give it a few more listens.

when I first heard yes, virginia I thought that it wasn't as good as the first. but c'mon, the first is amazing, they're not god, they can't top it.
but then I saw them live. and the songs are really really good.

haven't listened to the new regina yet, though I do have it. I'm lazy.

I like a few songs from Regina's. Better, Field Below. The performances of That Time and Apres Moi are OK, but I'm spoiled by the live versions. I'll post some when I get home, and you'll hear the diff.

The main problems with the record (in my opinion) are the sound FX, which are so insipid--they paint her as some kind of musical retard who flies around like Mary Poppins--and the vocal multi-tracking which is just prePOSterously bad. They make songs like Fidelity awful. Pretty much everything that accompanies her is bad on it. That awful Yo-Yo Ma Crouching Tiger bit accompanying Field Below... eeech. And all of Hotel Song, good God.

On The Radio was ruined, too. You'll see.
