The Dandy Warhols
Earth To the Dandy Warhols
Label: World's Fair
Earth to the Dandy Warhols marks the end of the band's long run with Capitol Records. The Portland group now runs its own imprint, Beat the World Records, through World's Fair. But don't expect the change of scenery to significantly alter the band's sound. Courtney Taylor-Taylor and the rest of the Dandies still play droney yet accesible psych-pop that's fun and cheeky. Just witness song titles like "The Legend of the Last of the Outlaw Truckers AKA The Ballad of Sheriff Shorty" and "Musee D'Nougat." "Love Song" isn't another take on the Cure classic; instead, it's a raucous Dandies original featuring Mark Knopfler of the Dire Straits and Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers.

With each new release, the Dandys get worse and worse. This is no exception. Forget Matty's review -- "by far their best songs yet"? whatever. |

this freaking album rocks. This is definitely the best one. I was so scared after that bad Odditorium CD but this is a come back to the reason I fell in love with the Dandies in the first place. |

Definitely another class Dandy's album, without a doubt - You can ignore the negative comments posted, I think the album went over certain peoples head's, lets face anyone that ends a posting with "whatever" isn't exactly over endowed with brain matter. Buy, listen and marvel at the Dandy's. |
| goobunny |
I agree totally with PaddyGoo. Another class Dandy album. This is truly an amazing piece of work. ETTDW. I can't stop listening to it. It gets better each time! The Dandys just keep on working hard. Thank you Dandy Warhols. Can't wait to see these songs live!! |

I completely agree with ALex Cutter. they keep falling with every album. (apart fromt thirteen tales which was better than come down). odditorium was a bit dissapointing but this is by far the most dissapoingting album i've ever heard from a band who used to be so good! |

true. they get worse and worse. dandys rule was the best they will ever be. world's biggest sell-outs - and they make the worst attempts to justify it. you're not "odd", you're just crap. junk. |

World's biggest sellouts?? Yea, that's why they just told their record company to eat poo and took control of their own destiny. This is by far ONE of the best albums the Dandys have made. Selling out would mean making the same record over and over and over again to please your purist ass. Instead they are making what THEY want to make, not what YOU want them to make....and I for one happen to think it's brilliant. If you want to hear 'Dandys Rule Ok?' then go play it and put it on repeat for like five days. Meanwhile, the Dandys and their fans will move on along down the road. |

Really guys???!?!?!? I absolutely adored the Dandy's first two albums but it seems as if album by album their sound has become progressively sloppier and less innovative. I thought this, and Oditorium were absolutely AWFUL albums. Not a hit in the bunch, all extremely un-listenable. I highly suggest |

This one's better than Odditorium. There's no way they could make a worse album than that it's as if it was deliberate. |

I love this album. I really do. It's such a return to form after "Odditorium". But not tacky pop like "Welcome to the Monkey House". It's definitely up there with "Come Down" and "13 Tales". Bit messy, but still really loved it. |

have all their albums and can't stop listening to 'wasp in the lotus, beast of all saints, welcome to the 3rd world, and then i dreamt of yes, love song.' all diverse, but completely love the droning pyschedelic rock anthems; where else can u find that today? this work ties together their early work and live shows; gotta love their "hells bells". this is an album of their own inspiration, breaking away from capitol. their live shows absolutely rock, so if you like, u have to see them live..seeing them at the vic, sept 12. and negative feedback for odditorium? 'holding me up, love is the new feel awful' are outstanding...give a good long objective listen |

Andrew said it right... First DWHs gig i saw was in a small city venue in 98 and i have followed them since . Sell outs!!..er not quite...open about making £$ to do their own thing ?..damn right. They have maintained a core sound which Dandy Warhol followers love but they've experimented along the way which they have the right to do instead of turning out cloned tracks within the safety net. Sure i think most of its genius, some of its just good and a little of it off the mark but hey...dull world if we all liked the same stuff right? |

The worst was Odditorium? Puhhllleeease. The worst Dandy's record- and the sales prove this out- was Welcome to The Monkey House. Now that record SUCKED. BIG TIME. But the idea that they |
Forget that ridiculous review above - this album is a serious return to form for the Dandys, with their strong sound now a lot more percussive, and by far their best songs yet.
