Product Description
Description
After striking gold with Everclear, Capitol Records returned to Portland and signed The Dandy Warhols, a quartet hip-deep in psychedelia-soaked pop songs that bring to mind everyone from Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd to The Jesus & Mary Chain. Songs range from the spacey, zero-gravity instrumental "Pete International Airport" to "Not If You Were The Last JunkyOn Earth", a cheeky pop response to heroin chic that's slathered in kitschy 80's synths. Warhols frontman Courtney Taylor's songs burrow into the deepest folds of your brain, combining layers of swirling keyboards and sharp guitar work with attention-grabbing topics from the Moral Majority ("Hard On For Jesus") to the indier-than-thou cognoscenti ("Cool As Kim Deal"). Although the Dandy's spacey head music occasionally flirts with somnambulism, there's enough hooks and shinyparts thrown in to shake you out of any stupor.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best rock album I own, 26 Jul 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of America's Best Bands, 2 Mar 2003
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The Dandy Warhols are not deep lyricists, but that is far from the point. The band is nothing short of amazing. Containing a strong bass beat and layered guitars, the Warhols provide true dance party music. Mostly known for the party hit, "Every Day Should Be A Holiday", the rest of the album is just as much on par. "Boys Better" has a sexy thumping bass drive and the electronic keyboards add a singeing emphasis. Many will not enjoy the 'sound effects' that introduce some songs, but they are actually great lead-ins. Not all the songs are hard rockers, as the great acoustical compositions, "Whipping Tree" and "Green" show. "The Creep Out" closes the album with a slow crescendop rising beat and some weird, but effective sound effects that here, do add to the song. A great album!
