Exclaim
This LP is pure Dandy Warhols, saturated with Courtney Taylor-Taylor's moody, drawled vocals, wailing guitars and introspective, oddball lyricism

The Dandy Warhols are sounding energised and certainly not ready to throw the towel or indeed 1980s cassette player in yet

Growing up doesn't have to mean growing apart: the Dandies come the closest they ever have to making a hometown album

While not quite attaining classic status, is a welcome return for a band who've never been afraid to stick two fingers in the face of adversity

There are a handful of potential hits on Distortland, still they needed some structuring or at least a more powerful instrumental to be compelling.

A tight little album that expresses its sentiments clearly and unambiguously, but perhaps there is something lacking in terms of vitality and spark

It too often sounds like a diluted version of what’s gone before, a collection that struggles to reach the highs of old

Not that bad, but not all that good either – just the work of a jaded band
