The Dandy Warhols are a tough band to peg, especially from one release to another. On this album they stick to two categries pretty much: slow whispery fuzzed out pop melodies and basically alt country (it's not really that simple but for the sake of this review let's make believe it is). The 'whispery fuzzed' out stuff is great - catchy, interesting to listen to from begining to end. The country stuff just sort of sounds like lazy songwriting. I have the Japanese edition that contains the great ac/dc cover 'Hell Bells'.

7.7 out of 10

Godless
Hells Bells
(notice how the beginning of 'Godless' sounds like Promise Ring's 'Size of your life'?)
