They've still got it! August 22, 2008

I knew I loved the Dandy Warhols more than any other band when I first listened to the Black Album. The moment the music started I was dancing around my room, positive that I would never tire of listening the whole CD through. And the moment I popped in Earth to the Dandy Warhols, I had the same feeling.
The Dandy Warhols have developed a style so unique, so them, that they have polished it to a glistening shine. Oddly enough, some of the tracks were strangely reminiscent of old songs; upon first listening, I thought "Talk Radio" was going to be "Green" from Dandy Warhols Come Down. However, as quickly as I was to think that, the song did a total turn and became something new completely on its own.
Being as it's the first album the band has produced with their own label, I would say look out for more amazing stuff. I'm pretty happy that the drawn-out and cacophonous tracks from Odditorium or Warlords of Mars have been replaced with average-length, tightly composed songs.
I plan on listening to this CD nonstop for the next week or so. And I plan on bopping around my room to it as well, since that's why I'm so fond of the Dandy Warhols.
 DISSAPPOINTED September 16, 2008

I am a Dandys Junkie. Cant get enough.Really love Odditorium despite the critics. Their dreamy/psychdelic retro sound is something to groove on. But I must say I was truely dissappointed with Earth to Dandy Warhols. Maybe the wait and build-up/expectations was too much. Truely dissapointed with Taylors vocals. Too synthetic and difficult to hear at times.This disc sounds more like monkey house though not as good.I think they strayed from the essence of their sound. Still looking forward to seeing them this month for the first time though.

The last release had some good songs but was largely disappointing and I was afraid they'd jumped the shark, my absolute favorite "living" band. This is definitely not a commercially geared release, but I downloaded it from iTunes last night, listened the the entire thing and found myself dancing joyously the way I did when I heard my first Dandies song, Bohemian Like You.
I'm going to see them again in September and now I'm even more excited.

THE MISSING LINK FOR THIS DANDY'S RELEASE IS A HIT.
CAREFULLY CRAFTED WITH ASSISTANCE FROM COURTNEY
TAYLOR EARTH FAILS TO REVOLVE - LYRICALLY STRONG
THE BAND MISSES A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK
INTO PUBLIC EAR DRUMS WITH LESS THAN STELLAR
ARRANGEMENTS.
THE SUMMER OF OH EIGHT - MUSICALLY NOT A LOT TO
TALK ABOUT - FAST FORWARD TEN YEARS WILL WE LOOK
BACK TO THE SUMMER OF 2008 AND SAY - MAN REMEMBER
THE EARTH TO THE DANDY WARHOLS - MAN THAT NIGHT
WITH JENNA DOWN BY THE LAKE - THAT LOVE SONG TRACK
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GIRL WHENEVER I HEAR THAT
TRACK - HARDLY!
THE DANDY WARHOLS HAVE WETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT A
CERTAIN RESPONSIBILTY AS AN ALTERNATIVE POP BAND TO
TRY AND VISUALIZE WHAT'S OUT THERE FOR THE TAKING -
A VAST AUDIENCE OF MUSICALLY STARVED PEOPLE HUNGRY
FOR NEW MATERIAL - GIVE US SOMETHING TO REMEMBER -
SOMETHING TO LIFT US UP - SOMETHING TO STIMULATE
THE WORLD.
BEST TRACKS - WORLD COME ON - WELCOME TO THE 3RD
WORLD - TALK RADIO - LOVE SONG AND THE ADAM ANT
INSPIRED THE LEGEND BUT SADLY THEY ALL LACK THAT
SPECIAL MAGIC THAT SEPERATES GREAT FROM MEDIOCRE.
EARTH TO THE DANDY WARHOLS - THE POTENTIAL IS
DEFINITELY THERE WHAT IS LACKING IS THAT MAGIC.
BUY IT OR FLY IT - I HATE TO SAY IT - I HAD SUCH GREAT
ANTICIPATION FOR THIS RELEASE - FLY IT - THREE STARS.

No shoegazing here, the feets are moving too fast...This is DWs most accessible album yet, and their most uptempo, pleasantly likable album to date. It begins with a B-52s/Talking Heads like pop tune that establishes that the Courtney man is after the song first and this continues on through 12 bouncing, driving guitar-driven space tunes that has nice alt-country in Love Song and even brilliant doo-wop, sock hop meets space opera in the OutLaw Trucker song and fills in all spaces through their catalog with clearly genius plain and simple pop songs like Mission Control and Now You Love Me.
The Dandy's keep getting better and more expansive with each album and the sheer energy of this album eclipses anything they've ever done.
I'm going to see them at the Vic with Darker My Love and The UpsideDown!
See your there!
(Also, there is a 13th song that is an elongated quiet drone that is added purely to be listened to if the previous 12 songs were accompanied by some fashionable drug of your choice... As usual, they have to put the Warhol into their name with some throwaway, misdirection that distracts from the cohesion of the whole album and this one does. Oh well, They wouldn't be Dandy without Warhol..)
