Would make a great split-single with Ben Folds' "Brick."

The Pops performance was so fucking good.

god this shit sounds just like the dresden dolls. when i listen to them it's like someone is playing the rent soundtrack over and over. i fucking hate that band, and her solo music.

LookingForCorpses (November 21, 2008)

Didn't sound too much like the Dolls stuff I've heard. Obviously similar, but there's some distinct differences.

i take it, i'm the only one that likes this. i thought it was funny

Zombie-Guru (November 20, 2008)

I thought it was pretty funny. I just don't like the music.

Cheesetits (November 20, 2008)

Roadrunner Records, really? Next to Slipknot and Killswitch Engage?

LookingForCorpses (November 21, 2008)

She/them have been on Roadrunner for a few years.

It's actually a really good record. I was a little put off because a few songs sound over produced and the two worst songs are back to back but over all it's very well written. Though, I'm not surprised it's dislike here.

ewwww.

I thought the album was pretty subpar. And this is probably one of my least favorite tracks on the CD. I understand it is supposed to be ironic that she is singing about rape and abortion in such a poppy way, but I knew girls like the subject of this song growing up so I don't find it overly amusing.

No Virginia beat the hell out of WKAP. If you took Leeds United (which NEEDS a video) or Astronaut and put them on No Virginia, that would make it the best Dresden Dolls album ever. Over all, WKAP is like an old album or cassette you had when you were a kid. A great A-side and a horrible B-side.

LookingForCorpses (November 21, 2008)

She's an uber feminist, so I'm not sure why you'd be offended.

tnimark (November 20, 2008)

I have this album and I like it a lot. I also like the Dresden Dolls. Am I no longer welcome?

Holy_Balls (November 20, 2008)

is this chick hot? if so, i want to do her. if not, i don't,

swank (November 20, 2008)

Such a great song/video.
I'm diggin' it muchly.
