    CLASSIC. Essential modern rock album. Very moody and excellent songs progression. Listen to it as a whole. From the start of Godless to the pop hit Bohemian Like you, Big Indian, Nietzsche, Get Off... a bunch of great songs and a great album.

    This is an absolute pearl. One of the few albums I always listen as one track. With 'Sleep' as my favorite. I haven't heard from them for a while, but this album is always with me in my car!

    One of the best releases in 2000, an album spanning from the mellow and alternative to pure rock and roll, always melodic and almost annoyingly catchy.

    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

    The Dandy Warhol's best work as of yet. It's even better if you're intoxicated whilst playing it.

    A rousing, enjoyable pastiche from start to finish, Thirteen Tales is an awful lot of fun...

    They may not always transcend their influences, but even when they don't, they make wallowing in them a helluva lot of fun.
