The Dandy Warhols - Odditorium or Warlords of Mars

In Dig!, the hilarious and sometimes painful documentary that won the 2004 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, the Dandy Warhols

matter-of-factly describe themselves the most well-adjusted band in America. While its true that in contrast to the

remarkable chaos that surrounds rivals the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Portland, Oregon group's propensity for onstage

nudity and offstage decadence does seem somewhat tame, listening to its fifth album, Odditorium or Warlords of Mars,

suggests they are still rock 'n' roll animals at heart: Thrusting through the sexy riffs of "Smoke It;" Reveling in the

sheer horniness of ready-for-Vegas single, "All The Money or the Simple Life Honey;" Or simply floating above the ground

with a clutch of space-rock jams that flashback to 1995's trippy Dandy's Rule OK? --Aidin Vaziri
