By Mark Thomas VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
The story goes that, on the back of a rough-edged recording presented to Capitol Records as the follow up to 'The Dandys Rule OK', the record company threw it back in their faces and told them to go write something decent, and quickly. These recordings, often referred to as The Black Album, slid unnoticed into history while a new CD was frantically created on a tiny budget and at high speed. Come Down is that product - hastily re-arranged, rammed together, cut up and released. It's a wonder then, that it sounds like such pure, unadulterated musical genius, years in the making.

I first borrowed this album from my library, and listened to the first track 8 (yes, EIGHT) times before I could bring myself to move onto the rest. It's a sound all of its own (if you except Love and Rockets and The Velvet Underground), so smooth, gradual, soaring and crashing, the likes of which I had never heard before - it was a totally new musical experience and I loved it immediately.
You may vaguely recognise some tracks on the CD from backgrounds slots in various popular and not-so-popular films and TV adverts - Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth, Boys Better, Every Day Should Be A Holiday have all been used at some point, primarily because they're the most listenable tracks on the album with much more variety and layers than just those songs. It's sleazy and clean-cut, self-indulgent and generous, esoteric and mainstream, all in equal quantities. Listening to the whole thing in one slew can be a very private, and very rich, experience - the band have created an enveloping, almost tangible sound which engrosses the listener in a grunge world of self-analysis and personal enjoyment.

If you ask people if they've heard the Dandy Warhols, they'll probably mumble something about "...the tune from that mobile phone advert...", but this album is really the heart and soul of what the Warhols are all about. It's fantastic.

Fantastic Sound 22 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I bought this album on the stregth of 'Not if you were the last junkie on earth' and a vague recollection of liking 'Every day should be a holiday'. I was hoping it would be ok but I'll admit to fearing a waste of money. I could not have been more wrong.

On first listen it was obvious that the whole album flowed wonderfully in one harmonic experimentation. As I listened over and over to it I quickly fell in love with the fascinating sound of each song. The lyrics and chords are irrelevant, it is the SOUND of each of these tracks that hooks you. My favourite band is Blur and I love hip-hop, alternative and acid house but THIS is by far one of my most favourite albums of all time. Buy it!

Come Down is up! 2 Mar 2003
By Patrick Neylan VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
With the gentle hippie intro to "Be-In", it sounds like the Dandies are coming down big time, but it builds into some swirling, pulsating rock, mesmerising in a psychedelic way. The quality is sustained by the more conventional "Boys Better", which mimics Neil Young's powerful style, and the immaculate opening trio is completed by "Minnesoter". "Good Morning" shows REM where they have gone wrong, but "Pete International Airport" could almost be Gong. Most of the album is bright and charming, fully focused and more carefully thought-out than the debut, with thoroughly infectious and enjoyable hooks all the way through. It sounds anything but what it is: an album hurriedly thrown together from the broken wreckage of failure by four hedonists on the brink of catastrophe.
