Reception
The album has received a mixed reception from critics. Q magazine wrote that it's "what the Portland quartet sound like on bad drugs". NME also gave it a negative review, calling it an "unfocused, sprawling debut album, notable for the piledriving classic 'TV Theme Song', an awful lot of stoned noodling and pretty much sod-all else."
Track listing
All tracks written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor, except where noted.
A hidden track starts at 3:11 into "Finale: It's a Fast Driving Rave-Up with The Dandy Warhols". It is a short reprise of "Dick".
