It was fine, lost a star with the last few
Album didn't catch me at all, it has it's own moments, but nah. Only 2-/5
Boooooooooring.
Good Morning and Whipping Tree are good tracks but the rest is pretty bland alt rock that went on for a bit too long.
Enjoyed the atmospheric and psychedelic songs a lot more than the melodic ones. Too long for me. Needed to be cut down.
meh
Mediocre at best
me when im alone in my room strong start, first songs all ok aaaaand it took a left turn at orange. shit lags for 6 mins!! i love you and minnesoter are songs for ppl who've never felt the touch of a woman mid plateau in middle yea my thesis that this is music for bitch boys stands. evidence: whipping tree, green, and aforementioned virgin loser tracks tf are the last two songs, they get tired of words??? end note: by autistic virgins for autistic virgins
Typical 90s butt rock.
Drab, snoozy alt rock, don't get why this is on the list.
Vibe meio oasis mas meio chato
Not as good as I was hoping. Could have trimmed some time off
Very 90s. Not in the good way
This was a pain to get through. I didn’t enjoy it.
Abwechslungsreich, aber einfach nicht mehr Art von Rock. Recht langweilig.
More like the Blandy Warhols HEYOOOO GOTTEM
Starts off very mellow and slow, gains a little speed towards the end. Overall 3/5. There weren't any tracks that jumped out at me as particularly memorable or exciting. Compared to most of their other albums, 2/5.
That’s a solid 2 from me.
Dandy Warhols, From USA First Listen Genre: Alternative Rock, Space Rock, Shoegaze 1997 Singles: Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth, Every Day Should Be a Holiday, Boys Better Standouts: None Seems like an OK album. Nothing really stood out as great. Need to hear it again. 2.5 Rating:
Druggy album, pretty cool arrangements but boring songwriting and stale production. It's too crisp and I just don't really think it's anything to write home about. Plus they are major assholes. Maybe if I was high as fuck I would give it another star. Or I am missing it's merit. overall i just feel it's rather weak and bland.
Too long, too stoner, too much fuzzy, not enough quality. Didn't hate it but definitely didn't like it. It's so one-note.
Proper stoner music, this. Low-fi, fades into the background in lots of places - Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth is the one that sounds like the Dandy Warhols album I bought a few years later, and the track after keeps a bit of that energy. Rest is not really for me, reminds me a bit of the My Bloody Valentine album we had and not in a particularly good way. 2/5.
Surprisingly mediocre. Not a nad album, but I have no idea why it's on this list. Couple of standout tracks but a lot of it is dreary.
Unbelievably unremarkable
Bit disappointed with this. I remember liking ‘Not if you were..’ at the time but never listened to the album. High expectations not met.
Very 90s and not very good. I don't have a desire to listen to this one again.
Rock alternativo leeeeento y aburrido. Un 2.
I find it really unremarkable for its era. Had potential if they went weirder or were more distinct. Don’t love the vocals.
meh
A couple of songs are likeable but sound like post-punk leftovers. I might have stomached them better if they were released over a decade earlier. Fun name for the band. I’ll give them that.
Pacific Coast Britpop bookended with scuzzy jam is interesting enough, but Come Down gets notabl worse at it plays. The slab of middle material doesn't just separate the good stuff, it turns them into moats.
They stumble on their own cleverness.
Not my style of music.
Not impressed
Another obscure indie rock band from the 90's, great... The Dandy Warhol's music is like shitty rock music that caters to artsy hipsters (hence the band name). Their music is either OK, or complete garbage. There is nothing in between. Pete International Airport, and The Creep Show are just noise... Why?!? Also, the album opener, Be-In has 1:40 of basically silence for some reason. Overall, some weird bullshit today. The highs were high, but there was quite a bit of complete trash on this record. Also, the album kind of overstays its welcome at over an hr in runtime. Favourite songs: Not If You Were the Last Junkie On Earth, Every Day Should Be a Holiday, Minnesoter, Boys Better Least favourite songs: Orange, Be-In, I Love You, Whipping Tree, Pete International Airport, The Creep Out 2/5
Eh
According to the Wikipedia page, they wanted to be "distant" from the grunge movement happening in the 90s. Yeah, it could be better to keep out this idea and just follow the flow. Some people are talented enough to oppose some trends, but it's not the case here.
It’s pretty good if you don’t think music should be interesting or original.
Dull. Boring. Far, far too long. “Hard On For Jesus” is a great song title, mind.
Meh
224. boring
oof this was a CHALLENGING listen... i went into this expecting something pretty good, especially because the genres seemed interesting and i generally do kinda enjoy this kind of music but this was really just painful to listen through. the one notable exception to this was two songs in the middle: "not if you were the last junkie on earth" and "every day should be a holiday", which were just some pretty alright alt rock songs, though nothing too special. (i can't tell if they're actually good or if i just liked them because they were a relief from the rest of the album!) "pete international airport" was also quite nice because it actually gave me room to breathe while listening, and was just a nice ambient track in general. the rest of the album was just droning nonsense with nothing noteable happening at all. 1/5, only redeeming factor are the three songs in the middle where it gets listenable. (also should not be here, this absolutely does not rank among the 1001 most important albums of all time)
Overblown tripe with too few redeeming moments.
Pretentious and boring.
Boring
neither excited nor moved me. doesn't seem to excel in a single aspect of music i look for or appreciate, and every song is twice as long as is ought to be. just a smear of a musical experience. favorite song is probably The Creep Out: i feel like it was at least trying something kind of fun
1. be - 1 2. boyz - 0 3. minezotter - 1 4. orange - 2 5. love - 2 6. junkie - 1 7. holiday - 1 8. morning - 2 9. tree - 3 10. green - 2 11. kim - 1 12. hard - 0 13. pete - 1 14. creep - 1
Forgettable stuff. Not sure if its a tribute or a parody of the velvet underground but either way this is nonsense
1/5
Yuck. Not feeling it.
Unfortunately every song on this album sounded like throw away indie trash apart from 2 songs in the middle Of the album that piqued a little interest- these been ‘Not if you were…’ and ‘every day should be a holiday’ It felt to me like the album was a band trying to jump On the Brit pop music takeover and they wanted to sound like oasis, unfortunately for them they fell flat completely. A terrible compilation of songs that in my opinion have no right of been in this collection. Fave track- ‘every day should be a holiday’ Worst track- could have been many but ‘good morning’ and ‘I love you’ really grated on me the most! 1.5/10
Meh
Do not waste your time.
About 10 minutes into the album I had to check which song it was up to and was surprised to discover I was on track 2. I would have believe 1 and I would have believe 4.
An hour was more time than I had. Not for me. ⭐
Pan sin sal, sangre de horchata, manos de mantequilla, un árbol de Navidad sin bolas, una barbacoa sin panceta...
pass
Cero interés
Oh god another one of this kind...
Britpop should have never left the Home Nations. 0.5/5
Not great
Not my thing
Whole lotta hogwalash
Bland, banal, overlong. Shoulda been Storm in Heaven by the Verve
I stopped listening during track two. Dirge-like and uninspired crap.
Tried to get all the way through. Got to Hard on for Jesus and gave up. There's just nothing there. I'd rather listen to clanker music.
This was so samey that to be honest at the end of my second listen I just came away feeling tired. Not for me at all.
15 minutes of fame that should never have happened.
This was very long. Wa-a-ay too long. Indie-by-numbers slop.
totally snoozed through this one. Never even knew the Dandy Warhol’s were a thing, and I still wish I didn’t.
Everything people think is bad about 90’s music is this album
I want my 3 hours back. I know the album is only a little over an hour. But bloody Hell, the droning and sameness of it all made it feel like it was 3 hours.
I couldn't get into this. The Dandy Warhols just sound so fake and inauthentic. Very generic. An American band regurgitating Britpop half a decade too late. BJM won the fight.
Plain indie : not very good at all, self-indulgent, derivative, and far too long. Just because there is room on the CD, that does not mean that the band should fill it up with thin gruel like the 6 minutes and 9 minutes of the last two tracks This would have been a better listening experience at half the length. It might even have got a second star.
This just came off as depressing boring sad stuff. They officially lost me at ‘I love you’ and then I just got annoyed at how much left there was. This dragged on and I didn’t enjoy.
Impressively boring.
Nah. I do not like this stoner-y, garage, mumble rock. Some of the lyrics (the ones that were there) left a bad taste in my mouth. Pass
Boring, mid indie for hipsters who dig too far for meaning in a song.
Not a good sign when, listening to the first track, you think to yourself: this just goes on and on...
Yet more American cr*p.
boring
Meh, too pop for me. I can understand the appeal but it’s just not for me
Just boring masturbatory shit
boring. couldn’t listen
So not my thing.
Pffff
Didn’t find this album that good
Jesus Christ get to the point! This record is 90% droning with nothing happening. What was the point of, "Pete international airport"? What the fuck?!?
Blaaaand
I didn’t like it. I found it boring and almost couldnt finish it
Noise
That was soooooo boring. I skipped through every song.
Oh wow did I hate that. Every song is too long. Every song is so very boring. There's not one element that I enjoyed. By the time I got to Hard On For Jesus I knew this was a 1. I know not everyone shares my religious views. I'm not a stranger to anti-religious songs, I even enjoy some of them if I'm being honest, but this one wasn't even remotely clever and just made me even madder. What a terrible album.
I guess 1 star? I got bored of this and clicked away quickly, but I put on some modern stuff of theirs and like it better, so I might let it ride some.
Muita pretensão, tentativas que parecer com rock setentista ou REM.
Hard pass
… passt nicht!
Schrecklich
nicht das meine
Wall of sound 90s alt-rock/pop art rock. Vocals often muted behind the wall of sound and really nothing here that is particularly enjoyable or remarkable. At their best sound a little like Oasis. Hard for me to understand how this is on the top 1001 list other than I enjoy the song with the lyric "heroin is so passe."
More boring that i thought it would be. Blah. One good song. The creep Out is unlistenable. Really struggled to finish this one.
Yuck!
Maybe 1 decent Track.
Really didn’t like it at all
After almost 1,000 albums there’s one thing I’ve learned is that I really dislike Brit-pop and this group sounds like an Oasis wannabe band. Needless to say, I disliked it.
