Too bad there are some folks out there ripping this album, because they thought it was someone else. Oh well, that's the way some folks are...

Anyway, this is a pretty solid album. Pretty diverse selection of styles... Wouldn't be surprised to hear some of this in a nice nightclub or a seedy strip bar. On a few tunes, she really belts it out! It's smoky, sexy, jazzy, punkish, brassy, b#llsy, b$tchy with a pinch of burlesque-y gurl power. Total of 18 tracks, but would have been better if they cut a few off. It's an excellent listen, but some of the songs start to run together, simply because there are so many. Personal favorite is track 2, "You Are the Best Thing and the Worst Thing". Check it out. If you made it this far to find this album, then you will probably like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different is good!, May 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Queen of Pain (Audio CD)

Each song is another style. Unlike most performers where you can not tell where one song ends and the next begins, this is a constant twist. Every style is touched upon and made her own. If you have an open mind, like all types of music and appreciate great female vocals, this cd is for you. You'll be happy you got it, I was :)

I first became aware of Devil Doll while working at a club in Tucson, AZ. I waslucky enough to have the night off and enjoy the show. Since then I've not missed a live show of hers in the Southwest. Like her live shows, this album is beautiful, breath taking, and down right impressive! Devil Doll walks on the edge of Rockabilly, punk, and swing...she takes no prisoners in her captivating lyrics and voice. She claims herself to sing about love with a jagged/tainted point of view. In addition, Colleen (the lead singer and the preeminent'Devil Doll') is also a very accomplished musican. Simply put this band is great, and the image of Devil Doll is right out of a 1950's pin up calendar! ENJOY!
