Unlike their days with CBS, the release of this album was patchy, being released in Europe and Japan before it was released in the USA.


The tracks are a mixed bag, all being composed or co-composed by members of the band, with the exception of Tear Off Your Own Head, which was composed by Elvis Costello. Some tracks are very weak, some are regarded as cynical attempts to recapture the success of Eternal Flame, while others are among the group's best work.

Some of the energy from All Over The Place, their first album, is recaptured, while Ride the Ride introduces some intricate harmonies that the band had never used before.

And, the two Welsh female dolls, one representing the likeness of my great-great grandmother, Jane, in her everyday outfit of the late 1800's, and the other showing the more dressy, traditional Welsh national outfit made popular by Lady Llanover, the wife of an ironmaster in Gwent.
Slant Magazine - Music Review: The Bangles: Doll Revolution (133 words)
