Rolling Stone (9/4/03, p.144) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[Producer Nick] Rhodes does an admirable job of making the Dandies bounce instead of drone..."

Uncut (6/03, p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 - "They could've been new rock messiahs, but chose to be pop-art prophets. It's arrogantly risky. That's their best feature. Still cool..."
CMJ (8/4/03, p.6) - "The Dandy Warhols have taken their latest compositions and recast them in a brave new wave mold, bringing the synths out in force to push the old six-string sonics into the corner..."

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

Never one to hide from their influences (look no further than the name), Portland natives the Dandy Warhols post them proudly on their fourth effort, WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE--they're literally on the album sleeve (note the Velvet Underground-esque banana). The record takes its name from a collection of Kurt Vonnegut short stories, and akin to the heralded author, stories unfold within stories, words cavort within folds within folds.

The Dandy Warhols are unabashedly pretentious, painfully self-conscious, and often as pretty and precious as the most petulant ingenue; they also are purveyors of some of the most beguiling pop music this side of the cosmos. On WELCOME..., the Dandys inject into their glam-updated-into-indie-rock formula a healthy dose of 1980s synth-pop (with aid from no less than the heart and soul of Duran Duran itself, Simon LeBon & Nick Rhodes). The result is perhaps their most satisfying record to date, a clever, consistently catchy collection of songs, affable in spite of its sarcasm, sonically organic in spite of its sources. An opening semi-narrative salvo offers a few unforgettable observations woven together artfully before the band launches into single-of-singles "We Used to Be Friends" (the hooky equal of 2000's "Bohemian Like You") and from there the pop artistry never lets up.
