Doll Revolution is the first album of original material by The Bangles since 1988's Everything. It was released in 2003 on Koch Records.
Unlike in their days with Columbia Records, the release of this album was patchy, being released in Europe and Japan before it was released in the USA.
The tracks are all (co-)composed by members of the band with the exception of "Tear Off Your Own Head" which was composed by Elvis Costello.
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. Although attempts to recapture the singles market were fruitless, overall, this album clearly shows a musical growth in step with their other three albums.
