Sisters Doll - Welcome To The Dollhouse

Interesting. I'm not completely sold, but it looks worth more investigation. I'm not wild about the vocals and there's almost a Billy Idol kind of vibe (which I don't like), but like I said, I'd like to hear more.

Love the album. i was just going to sing it's praises when I saw this thread!! Very solid glam production and good songs. The lead vocals are the slight weak link but they have a certain charm. They remind me a little of 80's band Candy.

Who produced the album cos it's sonically great! the drum sound works!!

I'm playing this party album every day!!

Like it. Good stuff.

 

And the actress in the video is gorgeous!

 

(Just listened to 'Loaded Gun' by the same band ... not nearly as good imo; pretty average track. 'Run Away' was a little better, but not much. Shame.)

Really big surprise of 2012 to be honest. Didn't expect too much from this disc but I ended up really digging it. Here's a rundown of my thoughts on it:

 

1. Dollhouse (3:38) - good, catchy opening rocker - 7.25

2. Are You Scared of Clowns (3:39) - good comercial rocker, odd lyrics - 7.75

3. Run Away (3:36) - very nice commercial rocker - 8.00

4. Isabella (3:16) - another very good commercial/melodic rocker - 8.50

5. Lonely Room (3:38) - nice balladic number - 7.75

6. I Love Barbie (3:13) - decent tune, but not their best by any means - cool verses, though - 7.00

7. Turn Around (3:29) - nice catchy rocker - 7.25

8. Holly Dolly (3:35) - another pretty cool catchy rocker - 7.00

9. Loaded Gun (3:53) - good comercial rock tune - 7.25

10. Falling (3:38) - good melodic rocker - 7.75

 

 

TOTAL SCORE - 76%

 

The disc contains a couple of very surprising melodic/commercial numbers. Some odd lyrics and subjects along the way, but a really good debut. Great job.

Just been listening to this again ... changed my mind about 'Loaded Gun' - really nice tune. Could really do with a guitar solo, but otherwise a great song imo. Also love the title track and quite like 'Run Away'.

Us Amerkin's are blocked from watching apparently we ain't kewl enuff???

 

 

Yep. Same over here.

 

 

Sorry doods... they're just on 'Australia's Got Talent' at the moment and delivered a rendition of 'Dollhouse,' which was on their debut. I wouldn't say I'm a gigantic fan of the band, but compared to the rest of that trainwreck of a TV show it was pretty cool.

I don't watch that show, well because it's kinda long and drawn out too much, but it's better than the others of the same ilk.

Cool to see this band on it. There were 3 clips.

I remember this CD when it came out. Never really did it for me. Songs were ok, but nothing more than that.

 

You guys who can't see the clips - take that and multiply by 10 for Aussies, where so many US clips are 'not available in my country'

Weird 'cause we live in a global society now more than ever....

I first read this as though you were describing the clip. Take That multiplied by 10. Sounds like a good show. ;}

Don't know, but she was in that band.

She has a great sense of humor though, I guess that may have helped her through the public stigma of her theft lol

 

Is the theft thing true? Never heard that, but it'd make me laugh if it were true. She was on 'Celebrity Apprentice' too. I think she won it. lol, already forgot. Either her or Tim from 'Big Brother' won it. I like her too. She's a ditz, but funny.

 

But anyway, I agree with that guy, that the show is absolutely the worst of it's kind, by a country mile. Some guy comes on stage a plays with horses and the judges put him through? A fuckstick plays a ukulele whilst hoola-hooping and they put him through. Pointless dance groups (not singing); all through. A cute little boy dancing - I mean, it's all cute and stuff... but where the fuck is that going to go? The judges and point of the show is just so fucked up. I honestly don't understand the mindset for it. I hate it so much.

 

Anyway, as the story goes I was actually at work and walking through a doctor's surgery and noticed a glam band on a repeat of the show and made a mental note to watch re-runs to see what it's all about. Christ on a crutch it was hard work to get through it, though. Fast Forward was a good friend.

Suuuuuure,

 

Me thinks thou doth protest to much, and that you religiously record the show and watch over and over. :)

Id like to apologise to the feral looking pornstar Monk - after much wikiiiing... it was some other chick that was kicked out for stealing Monks money..

 

I HATE reality tv. I especially Hate the idol, talent shows. Theres been about 10 of them over past few years..Idol, Voice, Popstar, Got Talent, . and this years "got talent" is by far the worst thing yet! Even if they win... it means nothing.
