"One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This" is the third studio album released by American hard rock band, New York Dolls. The album, which was released on July 25, 2006, came nearly 32 years after their last studio album, making it a significant release in the band's history. The album was produced by Jack Douglas, who is renowned for his work with other notable rock bands.
The track list includes 13 songs with 'We're All in Love' and 'Dance Like a Monkey' being the lead singles. This album marked a distinctive revival in the band's musical career, and despite the long gap, it was positively received by fans and critics.
The New York Dolls, formed in the early '70s, were among the pioneers of punk rock. Despite undergoing numerous lineup changes, with frontman David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain being the only consistent members, the band left a remarkable imprint in the music industry. This album continues their legacy, demonstrating the band's glam and punk rock styles blended with elements of rock and roll and proto-punk.
Notably, this album was the last to feature guitarist and founding member Arthur Kane, who passed away just two years before its release. An instrumental version of 'Maimed Happiness,' a song written by Kane, was included in this album as a tribute to him.
The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the band's comeback and the energy exhibited in the tracks. The title "One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This" evidently carries a philosophical undertone reflecting the band's journey, their struggles, and resurrection.
