’Cause I Sez So

This album feels like a victory lap through the streets of a New York that no longer exists, recorded in a tropical paradise. By reuniting with Todd Rundgren, the man who helmed their 1973 debut, the New York Dolls managed to capture a specific kind of lightning in a bottle: the sound of aging gracefully without losing your edge. It is rock and roll at its most fundamental, stripped of the need to prove anything to anyone, resulting in a record that breathes with a relaxed, confident air.
