Chicago Sun Times
Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia
by Jim DeRogatis
July 30, 2000
The third studio album from Portland, Ore's. smart psychedelic popsters is the sort of moody, flowing, interconnected tapestry that rockers just don't record anymore - save for Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips. The Dandys aren't quite so strange - there's much more guitar-rock rootsiness in their brand of mind warp - but they have similar ambitions in both grandiose, hypnotizing drones such as "Godless" and "Nietzsche," and more lilting semi-acoustic numbers such as "Sleep." It's an intoxicating mix, and it deserves to win these boys their 15 minutes of fame.
