…and, yet, there’s something that leads me to believe that the new album by the New York Dolls will kick ass.
Due for release on July 25th, the album – entitled One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This – features band stalwarts David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain…mostly because they’re pretty much the only two Dolls still among the living…and reportedly sounds like the album they didn’t release after 1974’s Too Much Too Soon. But, then, that’s what you’d expect the rumor mill to be saying. The reality, though, is that it’s a highly credible claim, given the power and enthusiasm the band produced at its various reunion shows over the past few years.
Count on the disc to be dedicated to, among others, the late Arthur “Killer” Kane, who died unexpectedly only briefly after the Dolls played the Meltdown Festival in the UK. (The documentary on Kane, New York Doll, is a must-see.)
