"The stage Dolls are a very different kind of classic 80s rock band. Unlike their previous album which boasted heavier rock ballards with a more 80s style stadium rock sound, this album took on a more funky, acoustic approach. The main problem with this, is that it has about 5 seriously amazing songs, and the rest aren't really anything special. They lack the more atmospheric heavier rock sound and well placed dynamic guitar solos that were found in the first one. The really amazing songs such as 'living in America' and 'love don't bother me' are great to sing along to, they are intelligently lyricised and the production and mixing just add to the atmosphere of emotion that makes this album so good. It is worth buying just for these songs, and because the rest of the songs aren't that bad, but could've have been better."
