Definately needs to be reissued. This album rocks.
The Dandys sound like a bunch of unapologetic junkies and their music has a sarcastic mellow feel to it. What do you get if you cross Lou Reed and Blur: this album. This combination works well. "Lou Weed" is a great parody, and a great song at that. "The Coffee and Tea Wrecks" is a classic. It is kind of stupid happy with a thick sound from a fuzzy bass line and layered vocals. Definately a fun album.


One of My Favorite Albums
I bought Dandys Rule OK after I had owned . . The Dandy Warhols Come Down for about 5 months. Although I could not get over how good Come Down was, Dandys Rule OK is even better. Among all of the albums that I own, this is one of my favorites. Some of the best songs are "(Tony, This Song is Called) Lou Weed", "Nothin' To Do", "Dick", and the unbelievable epic "It's a Fast-Driving Rave-Up With the Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes".


Rock me Dandy Warhols
The Dandy Warhols continue to amaze me at each show I attend. This CD reflects the amazing Portland music scene and the Dandy Warhols talent.


Actually better than the second album
I had the ". . come down" album and liked it OK, but I saw this one used for a buck fifty so what the he-he-heck, picked it up. I was surprised. I'm not sure what the label genealogy of this band is, but it's easy to understand why Capitol gave ". . . come down", the follow up, such a big media push. ". . . rule: OK!" rocks. Big, singeing guitar noise and production lace this surprisingly diverse record, rooting the band to a planet that you feel sure you can find your way back to as you trip across the sonic space they traverse. One very interesting thing is the baldness of it's borrowing: the band wears it's influences on it's bicep while neatly avoiding abject plagarism. From Lou Reed to REM to Spaceman 3 to Neil Young to Echo and the Bunnymen, even Ultra Vivid Scene, you wonder if the songwriter in this band wasn't sneaking into your room and listening to your record collection. It may be a little long, but chalk that up to youthful exuberence and a wide storehouse of material. Where the Warhols end up, nobody can say, but where they started from is pretty durn cool.


Dandy's Rule! OK?
Thats sort of what you get with the Dandy Warhols debut CD. Imagine the Velvet Underground had turned into glam rockers. Fun, funny, swirling psychedelia. Check it out.
