Title: The Opposite of Interesting
Review: I'll go against the grain here: In my opinion "Everything" is the band's best album to date. It pushed their musicianship, writing, and arranging to a new place. It was interesting in that it WASN'T the same sound.That same sound, unfortunately, IS what we have with "Doll Revolution". Most of the album is mid-tempo, and probably could easily be done live as a medley. The vocals and harmonies are EXACTLY what one would expect (with some small exceptions) and are so predicable, and uninspired that it made me sad.As talented artists, with a lot of time on their hands between Bangle releases, I would really have liked to have heard some interesting music that reflected some growth during their absence. Yes, I agree that the lyrical themes are more mature (in some, but not all cases), but musically, this is not anything interesting, in fact, the opposite.
