Amanda is the female (of course) side of the incredibly talented duo 'Dresden Dolls ', and this solo album shows that she has talent to spare with its sharply observant lyrics from the perspective of a passionate persona that feeds in some wonderful self experience's.
With twelve songs this debut album 'Who Killed Amanda Palmer' is going to be a gem in anyones collection, supporting her vocal style with mainly the piano Amanda bares her soul on many tracks, while enjoying the art of the dramatics with her passionate music and her general melancholy style. This is an album that music lovers should own just for the simple drama of the tunes.
Amanda who seems to like the drama of Gothic theater brings some dark sentiments to several songs on this album keeping the whole album interesting and quirky fresh as on first listen you are constantly surprised by the feel and subject behind each song. But if you are also into intelligent wonderfully crafted lyrics that tackle everything from global warming to caring friendships plus the odd dollop of personal relationships you will find some great empathy.
