Definately needs to be reissued. This album rocks........2000-04-10

What do you get if you cross Lou Reed and Blur: this album. The Dandys sound like a bunch of unapologetic junkies and their music has a sarcastic mellow feel to it. This combination works well. "Lou Weed" is a great parody, and a great song at that. "The Coffee and Tea Wrecks" is a classic. It is kind of stupid happy with a thick sound from a fuzzy bass line and layered vocals. Definately a fun album.

One of My Favorite Albums.......1999-04-24

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".

Rock me Dandy Warhols.......1999-01-11

This CD reflects the amazing Portland music scene and the Dandy Warhols talent. The Dandy Warhols continue to amaze me at each show I attend.

Actually better than the second album.......1998-11-15

I had the "...come down" album and liked it OK, but I saw this one used for a buck fifty so what the he-he-heck, picked it up. I was surprised. I'm not sure what the label genealogy of this band is, but it's easy to understand why Capitol gave "...come down", the follow up, such a big media push. "...rule: OK!" rocks. Big, singeing guitar noise and production lace this surprisingly diverse record, rooting the band to a planet that you feel sure you can find your way back to as you trip across the sonic space they traverse. One very interesting thing is the baldness of it's borrowing: the band wears it's influences on it's bicep while neatly avoiding abject plagarism. From Lou Reed to REM to Spaceman 3 to Neil Young to Echo and the Bunnymen, even Ultra Vivid Scene, you wonder if the songwriter in this band wasn't sneaking into your room and listening to your record collection. It may be a little long, but chalk that up to youthful exuberence and a wide storehouse of material. Where the Warhols end up, nobody can say, but where they started from is pretty durn cool.

Dandy's Rule! OK?.......1998-05-15

Imagine the Velvet Underground had turned into glam rockers. Thats sort of what you get with the Dandy Warhols debut CD. Fun, funny, swirling psychedelia. Check it out.

Shoegazer delight..........2005-09-06

This was my second Dandy's album (after Come Down)- although it doesn't have anything as insanely catchy as Last Junkie, i prefer it overall. its much more shoegazer than their next effort, and you can just lose yourself in the guitars in song after song. theres some tongue-in-cheek humour (eg: Lou Weed, where the singer sounds a bit like Transformer-era or even Velvets Reed at times, which is great, but the one place i strongly suggest it DOESN'T work is when Young Tom intrudes over the early part of the 16 min rave-up. this was such a brilliant piece of music, and it should have been treated with more respect. if not for this i think i would have given the album 5 stars...

quite great actually.......2005-08-23

If you're a fan, you'll find that at least half of the tracks are very very worth having. It isn't their best CD, but it certainly is a great one. The droning, layered sound and cheeky sarcastic lyrics that is so much a part of their sound is all here. I was surprised how good this CD is. There's one 16 minute track that is quasi-Velvet Underground and its probably my favorite. Some will hate it I suppose but the band sounds like they are having fun. Play it loud.

you absolutely MUST buy this album.......2004-04-06

the psychedelic pop rock masterpiece of our post modern times. these guys are tight, tight, tight!! they're like an engine of sound.i've been listening to this album since i was 15 and it still gets me everytime, you cannot go wrong with this album

They rule... OK?.......2004-03-08

Few bands start off sounding as polished as the Dandy Warhols do in "Dandy's Rule, OK?" While this Portland debut isn't the best that they've done, and they clearly lack musical direction, the final third of the album is a sonic masterpiece... and the rest of it ain't bad either.

The opener of "Dandy's Rule, OK?" just barely avoids being pretentious, with the here-we-are "Introduction by Young Tom" and the catchy but painfully simplistic "Dandy Warhol's T.V. Theme Song Lyrics" (sample lyric: "Hey La, See Saw/Hey Ra, Hee Ha"). But with the growling guitar kicking off "Ride," it's clear that they've gotten their footing with some slow, ponderous rock.

It shifts into peppy pot rock ("(Tony, This Song Is Called) Lou Weed") and mid-tempo psychedelic pop ("Nothin' To Do," "Dick"). The album climaxes in a big way with: a three-track, twenty-two minute sonic sweep that starts with the eerie "Prelude: It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes," before speeding up into the experimental-rock "It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes" and finishing with the increasingly ominous "Finale: It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes."

At their worst, the Dandy Warhols resemble basic imitators of seventies rock. At their best (the grand finale), they resemble the Flaming Lips, with their shimmering alt-rock and unusual instrumentation (is that an alarm clock I hear?). They come across as a "fun" band -- the sort of music that is nice to listen to, without trying to be deep.

This is the psychedelica that dates back to classic 60s and 70s alt-rock: Drugs, bohemian ponderings and a healthy ability to flip between the gritty and the ethereal. And it's a bit more exploratory than the band's later albums, poking around musically to see where it belongs. Your basic guitars, bass and synthesizers form a shimmery, slightly gritty wall of sound (sufficiently that you won't notice weak lyrics like "I'm gonna know everything/know everything that was true/seen everything I could see/been everything I could be...").

Urban and tinged with the bohemian, "Dandy's Rule OK?" is a nice debut from a moderately talented band. Certainly worth checking out for fans of psychedelic rock-pop.

This is my first review - I feel that strongly about this cd.......2003-03-20

Other's have already gone into detail of why this is such a great album, and I only want to reiterate that. I actually bought this album after I having bought the second and third albums. This is my favorite to date. The record has a live sound, and is less produced than there newer two records. If you hear this record you will want to see them live. I know I do.
