This was my second Dandy's album (after Come Down)- although it doesn't have anything as insanely catchy as Last Junkie, i prefer it overall. its much more shoegazer than their next effort, and you can just lose yourself in the guitars in song after song. theres some tongue-in-cheek humour (eg: Lou Weed, where the singer sounds a bit like Transformer-era or even Velvets Reed at times, which is great, but the one place i strongly suggest it DOESN'T work is when Young Tom intrudes over the early part of the 16 min rave-up. this was such a brilliant piece of music, and it should have been treated with more respect. if not for this i think i would have given the album 5 stars...

If you're a fan, you'll find that at least half of the tracks are very very worth having. It isn't their best CD, but it certainly is a great one. The droning, layered sound and cheeky sarcastic lyrics that is so much a part of their sound is all here. I was surprised how good this CD is. There's one 16 minute track that is quasi-Velvet Underground and its probably my favorite. Some will hate it I suppose but the band sounds like they are having fun. Play it loud.

Few bands start off sounding as polished as the Dandy Warhols do in "Dandy's Rule, OK?" While this Portland debut isn't the best that they've done, and they clearly lack musical direction, the final third of the album is a sonic masterpiece... and the rest of it ain't bad either.
The opener of "Dandy's Rule, OK?" just barely avoids being pretentious, with the here-we-are "Introduction by Young Tom" and the catchy but painfully simplistic "Dandy Warhol's T.V. Theme Song Lyrics" (sample lyric: "Hey La, See Saw/Hey Ra, Hee Ha"). But with the growling guitar kicking off "Ride," it's clear that they've gotten their footing with some slow, ponderous rock.
It shifts into peppy pot rock ("(Tony, This Song Is Called) Lou Weed") and mid-tempo psychedelic pop ("Nothin' To Do," "Dick"). The album climaxes in a big way with: a three-track, twenty-two minute sonic sweep that starts with the eerie "Prelude: It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes," before speeding up into the experimental-rock "It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes" and finishing with the increasingly ominous "Finale: It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes."
At their worst, the Dandy Warhols resemble basic imitators of seventies rock. At their best (the grand finale), they resemble the Flaming Lips, with their shimmering alt-rock and unusual instrumentation (is that an alarm clock I hear?). They come across as ... Read More

Other's have already gone into detail of why this is such a great album, and I only want to reiterate that. I actually bought this album after I having bought the second and third albums. This is my favorite to date. The record has a live sound, and is less produced than there newer two records. If you hear this record you will want to see them live. I know I do.
