Slightly less stoned than the two albums which followed it, this debut album has quite a variety of tracks with even odder titles than usual. "Genius" is a plaintive hymn to stupidity and "It's a Fast Driving Rave-Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes" (guess how long it lasts) is excellent. It's not as self-assured as the later stuff but that's no bad thing.

There aren't enough stand-out tracks to justify five stars, and some of this is a little too derivative, but it's all good fun. "Ride", "Coffee and Tea Wrecks" and "Lou Weed" betray their influences in their titles, but the latter works in its own right as well as a parody/imitation. Just when the album seems to be running out of steam in the middle, it's rescued by the compulsive beat of Nothing, making a whole song out of a Led Zep cadenza ("Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"), with its distorted, almost falsetto 60s-style vocal. Then there's the straight-ahead garage-rock of Grunge Betty, before blasting out with It's A Fast-Driving Rave-Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes - the Velvets' Sister Ray meets Hawkwind's Valium 10 in what my mother-in-law called "a brutal cacophony". You can't get higher praise than that.

If you liked the second album (cos it came out before this offering) then you will positively love this! From the start its moody but at the same time almost mellow. Slower songs like dick and genius are delivered well. After these we have classic guitar rock with an eerie twang guitar in grunge betty.Then at the end there is the marathon of music that is the fast driving rave up. Trust me its very good for doing just that! I loved this album from the first time i gave it a play through, I think you will like it too. LONG LIVE THE DANDY'S!
