  • Summary: The third album from the Portland, Ore. indie-rock band failed to elevate their standing in their home country, although they continue to sell well (and receive favorable press) in Europe.

  1. Without a doubt one of the best pop records of the year.
  2. 80
    One of the better albums released this year...
  3. They may not always transcend their influences, but even when they don't, they make wallowing in them a helluva lot of fun.
  4. Being that the band's name is derivative, so are many of these Thirteen Tales they tell.

    This album is beautiful. It's such a shame that so few people have ever listened to it before writting the Dandys off as a one-hit-wonder. Every song is brilliant, this album inspired me to start making music Expand
