Dandys Rule Ok

Selling used merchandise at bargain prices that are quality cds

This is an E.U. release of the Dandy Warhols first album. I think the entire album is great and definitely classic Dandy Warhols. I always like the older Dandy albums compared to their more recent releases. When I found their first album here on Amazon as a re-release I ordered it. Couldn't be happier. As I said earlier it's great.

I am a big fan of Brian Jonestown Massacre and got interested in the Dandy Warhols from the documentary DIG! They have many great songs, but still like BJM better.

I absolutely love the Dandys. So glad i bought this CD, is is great, just like all the others. I was only missing a couple Dandy CDs. Now I have them all, I am a happy girl.

You know the Key and Peele skit about dubstep not being music, but rather, a psychoactive agent? That's this entire album.

I bought this album in 1996 when they were still pretty unknown outside of Portland and I still listen to it a lot. If you like any of the label records then you'll love this one. It really shows why they are so popular in the UK as it falls in line as the American version of the britpop/shoegaze/space rock set that was big in Britain when grunge was king in the US. One of my all-time favorites.

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".

Early songs, but great ones that the band rocks on. These became staples of their live shows.

When all the albums in the Dandy Warhols back catalogue are taken into account, Dandys Rule OK is unique; a triumphant and varied introductory fanfare to the world without caution or self-doubt. This is the Warhols in their early years, still trying to define themselves musically but confidently striding out to perform their own set pieces and unashamedly tout their influences on tracks like Lou Weed, Coffee and Tea Wrecks and Nothin' To Do in which, in true juvenile fashion, they would put the names of their fellow emergent Portland bands into the lyrics. Much of Dandys Rule OK is unrefined and checquered, a mix of efficient, harmony-rich melodies and rough-edged, darker introspection. Grunge Betty, ever popular and often requested at live shows, typifies the coarseness of this early sound as Courtney Taylor's vocals crack over a twanging country and western beat. Genius and Dick, two of several mammoth tracks on the album, delve deeper and exhibit the sarcastic misanthropism that would become a theme of Come Down once they had had their first taste of corporate rejection at the hands of Capitol. Yet there are interesting proto-elements of far more stylised Warhols work that would come later, notably a chord sequence on The Coffee and Tea Wrecks which would evolve into Bohemian Like You's anthemic opening some five years after. The jolly T.V. Theme Song, Best Friend and Lou Weed are splendidly cheeky and light-hearted; an aspect that the band would largely shed in time but which is given a deserving cameo here. The closing number, the arrogantly introduced [It's A] Fast Driving Rave Up actually spans three tracks, and totals over twenty minutes when the prelude and finale are included. It's the Warhols' first - and best - album closer, a gloriously psychedelic romp in which two chords are pounded into oblivion, layered with a dreamy verse repeated in breathy vocals and a thick helping of electronic effects to amplify the feeling of a club rave in full flow. Future efforts would be shorter and more minimalist, competent in their own right but never quite as enjoyable as this audio barrage. And indeed that is true of much of Dandys Rule OK - drummer Eric Hedford would leave, they would fall out with their record label, briefly flirt with commercial success and eventually return to their niche roots and cult following. But right here is where it all began; an energetic thrash through a variety of styles, some borrowed, some original, all executed with a talent and flamboyance that would never quite be given the same free rein again. Marvellous.

Que dire de plus les Dandys warhols on ne s'en lassent pas, ma préférée est nothing 😉

Ok

Great band. Great music.

La sonorité vaporeuse est proche de "Thirteen....", est c'est ce qui me plait. L'album est homogène, sans véritable hit, mais l'atmosphère est là! Je retire quand même une étoile, simplement parce que je ne considère pas qu'il s'agit de leur meilleur album. Il faut une justice...
