Customer Review Get Off Rules OK Their last album 'Come Down' was one of the four best psychedelic (for lack of a better term) albums of 1998, along with Radiohead's heralded 'OK Computer' and the even-less-well-known Tadpoles 'Smoke Ghost' album, and, the least-great of this quartet, 'Ladies and Gentlement We're Floating in Space' by Spiritualized. I don't know how many of you there are out there, but I was very eagerly awaiting this new Dandy Warhols release. The Dandys rock, and write great pop songs, without being angry. These are dying arts on today's overly-testosterone driven rock scene. Few bands could rip off Duran Duran and The Jesus and Mary Chain in the same song, as the Dandys did wtih 'Every Day Should be a Holiday. ' Anyway, I got off on 'Get Off. ' The title track is a mellow, acoustic guitar driven number, that should go straight to number one in a perfect world. I've been listening to it over and over again. It's infectious and uplifting. The layered vocals and 'hoo-haa' vocal punctuations are pure Dandy Warhols. They set a great vibe, like hanging out and having fun with good friends. The b-sides are both darker and more brooding, though the 'White Gold' has kind of a Bo Diddley-ish hook running throughout. I think the Dandy Warhols aren't taken seriously enough. The jokey name, and their attitude leads people to miss the fact that these guys are as good as any guitar-oriented, non rapping metalhead band out there. Godspeed good Dandys. .
