DylanCDec 5, 2005Needs time to grow on you. Extremely well-done. People who have short attention spans would do better to stick to bands that do novelty 2-3 minute songs intended for radio play. This is a record I will still want to hear in 5-10 or more years.

AndrewMSep 15, 2005This took a few listens for me, but it clicked after a few listens. It has a bit of everything that made all the other Dandys albums so great. Thank goodness they have moved away from the synth sounds of their last album and do what they do best. If 9-10 minutes 'psych-grooves' with quick pop songs to fill in the blanks are your thing, this fits the bill perfectly. Classic Dandys.

ThomasBNov 9, 2005not surprising that so many critics missed this album. even myself, as a fan, needed 3 listens to get this album (and dig it) which is (very) close to the perfect "13 Tales".

slawekkOct 30, 2005a great rock'n'roll craze plus a hudge load of psycholdelic kick - in a way frank zappa must be proud of them!

DaveBSep 17, 2005This is certainly more focused than the Dandy's last album, Welcome to the Monkey House, and as a result, much better. This album won't win any new fans, but for those who enjoy their music, will find this to be a return to early form for the Dandy's.

ZReyburnOct 28, 2005Introduction aside this is a good Dandy's album. It reminds me of "Come Down" a little. Worth a listen.

JCNov 11, 2005You will notice the ratings for this album will go up as people listen to it more. Solid effort (probably better overall than 'Monkeyhouse', which was also a good album). Have fun with it.

MaxKOct 31, 2005This is a very good album with a few songs that are twice as long as they should be. Why do critics and the masses pile on for being a little too cheeky? Sounds like the Dandy's are having fun making music and listeners should try to be a little less skeptical about that approach......

BradleySep 21, 2005While this is not their best album by a long short, this album shows that the Dandys are never satisfied in staying in one style. A few songs are sub-par, the album will grow on many people. People must approach the album with some patience and an open mind.

KingInkSep 15, 2005This is a great album. Closer to their original work than the last two, and more satisfying in the long run because of it. At times, exaggeratedly simplistic, and other times quite dense, it may take sometime getting used to but it's well-worth it. A very rewarding album to listen to.

We'd rather watch the Dandys than listen to 'em.

Whilst a complete reinvention of rock this may not be, a beautiful soaring record for messy nights and hungover Sundays, it most certainly is.

Something this indulgent could only be a labor of love, but even die-hard Dandy Warhols fans might find embracing this album to be too much work.
