The Dandy Warhols
The Black Album / Come On Feel The Dandy Warhols

THE REVIEW

For this quite hard to find album that delves into the hidden premises of the Portland band, I have devised a crossword puzzle review:

Horizontals (demo album from 1996):

1 Hypnotic guitar in loop in a psychedelic flow - 2 Rowdy rock blues - 3 Soft voice that blossoms into flower child howls; it is distant and hypnotic - 4 Garage surf from a B-movie riding the wave of the refrain "heroin is so passe" - 5 Extended lo-fi garage rock - 6 Wall of sound and amniotic riff - 7 Hallucinatory journey in intergalactic space - 8 Interstellar noises - 9 Rock blues with basement trumpets and lively finale - 10 Rollingstonian - 11 Sodium lullaby cover; a pulsar that leads to the Black Mountain. 

Verticals (b-sides):

1 A classic still in the bud - 2 Sparkling keyboard, very Vines - 3 Strummed cover and canned female voice - 4 Chaotic and suburban - 5 Cover with Black Keys-like rhythm and usual haloed vocal tone - 6 Calm dance wave cover - 7 See 4 horizontal - 8 The Vines reappear - 9 Psychedelic ballad - 10 Cover ballad with dark and/or passionate atmospheres - 11 Dialogues with a background of slide guitar and acoustic; decadent - 12 Masterpiece; cover among arpeggios, pathos, and western trumpets - 13 Basic blues cover - 14 Soft guitar and vocal cover - 15 Experimental fermentation - 16 Weird indie rock à la Beck - 17 Exhausting trip in India - 18 Sad Xmas cover song.
