Music reviews of Too Much Too Soon
Music Review: New York Dolls 2nd Album rocks!
Rating: 5 Stars
I'd heard talk about a band from the 70's named New York Dolls, referred to as the seminal punk glam band, also credited as a major influence for Slash and Izzy of Guns N' Roses, one of my favorite bands. I ordered this CD having never heard any of their music, only knowing of David Johansen as the 80's Buster Poindexter and the cab driver in the movie Scrooged.
This music rocks! It's easy to see where the glam hair bands of the 80's got their roots listening to New York Dolls, but it's so much more than that. New York Dolls were doing something completely new at the time. The music is raw, and somewhat rough, but full of energy. There's plenty of self-deprecating humor in their music, refreshing in a world where a lot of bands take themselves way too seriously.
After listening to this for a few days I ordered their first album, New York Dolls, and their live/studio album, Hard Nights Day. This is a great place to discover the influences that helped form the 80's and 90's rock/punk/glam scene.
Description of Too Much Too Soon
Limited edition Japanese pressing has been remastered and comes packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. Mercury. 2006.The louder, clearer sound afforded by producer Shadow Morton makes the Dolls come on even brasher on their second and last album. In Too Much Too Soon finds their mix of aggression and humor intact--not just "in spite of" an increased reliance on covers, either, because David Johansen's taste in remakes expresses a lot about this music nut's crazed, loving worldview. Who else in '70s rock could make a wacked-out doo wop novelty like "Stranded in the Jungle" into an important personal statement? The Stones' late-'74 slopbucket take on "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" suggests that they'd heard the Dolls rewire the Philly-soul "Showdown." And while few of the punks who followed were to make as deep as claim on reality as the buzzsawing "Human Being" does, though many were to chip off pieces of the manic "Who Are the Mystery Girls?" --Rickey Wright
