	The Dandy Warhols: Welcome to the Monkey House [2003] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		The Dandy Warhols: Welcome to the Monkey House
		Welcome to the Monkey House sounds like it was recorded beneath (and heavily informed by) the giant cocaine spoon that used to hang from the rafters at Studio 54.
		Monkey House doesn't contain as many excellent songs as Thirteen Tales (which enjoyed more memorable hooks and catchier lyrics), but it is, unquestionably, the group's most thematically grounded and bracing record to date, celebrating and critiquing the messiness of the music world as effectively as any album in recent memory.

		Another 1,200 Washington monkeys are quartered at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana, in a breeding colony, for future research in Seattle.
		The monkey is then secured in a restraining chair and shown a number of objects on a screen, which the animal then tracks with a joy stick.
		Monkeys are social creatures, often spending much of their time grooming other monkeys.

	Flak Magazine: The Dandy Warhols' Welcome to the Monkey House, 08.27.03
		Always a band with a sense of roots, the cover of the Dandies' latest effort, Welcome to the Monkey House, combines two of their namesake's biggest contributions to rock, the artwork for Sticky Fingers and The Velvet Underground and Nico.
		Monkey House opens with a low-fi title track, which begins, "Wire is coming back again, Elastica got sued by them.
		Although Monkey House takes its title from a Kurt Vonnegut collection, the songwriting this time around is, for the most part, less concerned with social observation and existential curiosity than with a series of short-lined conceits.

		Done up in all kinds of animal prints, from the carpeting to chair covers and paintings of monkeys on the walls, Cheeky Monkey is the sibling restaurant of a popular Newport, Rhode Island, establishment.
		You cheeky monkey.") Executive chef Steven Marsella doesn't let the vernacularism bind him to the Isles, however; he's designed the fare with influences from an empire where the sun never set -- and beyond.
		There are no monkey brains on the limited menu (nine starters and eight main courses), but there is monkey bread pudding -- a sweet, mushy side dish that accompanied the slow-roasted duck entrée.

	The Dandy Warhols: Welcome to the Monkey House - PopMatters Music Review
		Sure, there's a new musical approach, but Welcome to the Monkey House is hardly the departure it could have been (for better or worse).
		Welcome to the Monkey House and the Dandy Warhols' new sound isn't going to win over legions of new fans and propel the band to superstardom, but neither will it alienate their existing fanbase.
		In a year that's seen a number of '90s acts attempt to remain vital (Blur, Metallica) with varying degrees of success, Welcome to the Monkey House is, pardon the pun, a fine natural evolution of the Dandy Warhols.

	The Dandy Warhols: Welcome to the Monkey House - PopMatters Music Review
		A definite deviation from the tranquil melodrama of Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, the Dandy Warhols' new album Welcome to the Monkey House demonstrates, as do the three previous albums, that the Dandys are poised to take over the world musically but should definitely not dabble with filmmaking.
		Welcome to the Monkey House includes an added feature: the enhanced CD contains a short film written and directed by Taylor-Taylor called "The End of the Old as We Knew It".
		The film is an attempt by Taylor-Taylor to transfer his verbal sense of political awareness into a visual arena, but it fails on a number of levels and is extremely problematic in what it chooses to represent.

	Morphizm.com -- We are Cooler Than You: The Dandy Warhols, Welcome to the Monkey House
		Welcome to the Monkey House, a title cribbed from Kurt Vonnegut's classic 1968 short story collection, parades every ex-Duran Duran member short of Warren Cuccurullo alongside former Lemonhead Evan Dando and Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, all of whom must be equally baffled by the quartet's latest explorations in synth.
		But then there are puzzlers such as "Plan A" and the faux-Bowie "I am a Scientist," which seem eccentric for their own sake and mostly disrupt whatever momentum 'Monkey House' manages to build.
		All told, Monkey House is hardly the total implosion that some fans and pundits have deemed it.

	BlamoNet.com - CD Music Reviews - Dandy Warhols, The : Welcome to the Monkey House
		Welcome to the Monkeyhouse is a great album that bounces over a variety of musical styles and genres, yet still seems unified due to it's trademark Dandys attitude.
		However, I had bought Welcome To The Monkey House for a friend for Christmas and it was in my hotel room and I didn’t have the slightest urge to listen to it.
		Her keyboard playing is a very essential part of the band seeing as none of the songs on this recording are bare essential rock songs bar the opening song ‘Welcome To The Monkey House’ which features Courtney, an electric guitar, and a bevy of humorous lyrics.

		What's most fascinating about Welcome to the Monkey House is that, in the midst of copious drug usage, heavy drinking and god knows what else, the Dandy Warhols have emerged with an album so cleverly coherent that it simply couldn't have come from anywhere else.
		Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia might still be the band's most accomplished album, but by embracing their emptiness and stylishness on Welcome to the Monkey House, they've crafted an album that is no less enjoyable because of its disposability.
		Hopefully their next album will see a bit of a return to their older style, but "The Monkey House" is a nice change.

		'Welcome To The Monkey House' is the fourth album by the Portland, Oregon indie guitar act, The Dandy Warhols.
		The Dandy Warhols are destined to be one of the bands known as 'the ones who did that song from the advert' (the song in question being 'Bohemian Like You' from the Vodaphone adverts); that is unless they can manage to surpass themselves on a future release.
		'Welcome to the Monkey House' has received a rather mixed reception from the group's fan base, with many seeing it as a rung up the ladder to selling out.

		As the Dandy's back-catalogue is filled with equal amount gem and mis-step, one begins to realise that both consistency and relevancy are at a premium with this band.
		And while Welcome To The Monkey House blips and beeps with quirky '80s electro-rock flourishes, Rajotte is right: underneath the gimmicks are very hollow songs, tunes that melt like fleetingly sweet cotton-candy.

		Welcome To The Monkey House is an experimental album, much like the last few Radiohead albums have been.
		No one could accuse the Dandy Warhols of being too incredibly brilliant or inventive; a lot of their stuff is heavily influenced by other bands, and while aspects of their music are amazing (keyboard work is impeccable), genius doesn't live there.
		But "Welcome To The Monkey House" is lacking in substance, and few of the songs stuck to my mind once I had finished with them.

		Instead, it’s marred by dopey frat house accoutrements like the sounds of bong hits and smokeups, Taylor-Taylor’s insistence beforehand of, “Let’s see if we can get this in one toke… Uh, take…” and just the feeling that something very interesting was mucked up to please the ‘hemp-ographic’.
		This is endemic of “Welcome To The Monkey House”, knowing that behind ill-advised choices and an overly robotic sound, there’s something really good going.
		In the end, it is a possibly great pop-rock album hiding in the hairshirt of modern recording techniques and maybe a bit too much ‘mellow’ with not enough ‘harsh’ for balance.

		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.
		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.

		That might not amount to much more than a criminal record and a scuzzy basement apartment in the real world, but in the realm of rock 'n' roll, a hot sheet like that is nearly enough to make The Dandy Warhols the gods of all creation.
		Smeared with glammy synthesizers and hollow vocal slurring, Welcome to the Monkey House is an unabashed celebration of the unmitigated disposability of modern day life -- the hedonistic here and now by way of the skinny-tie-wearing there and then.
		The verdict's still out as to whether that's a testament to their garrulous pop smarts or the pharmaceutical skills of their favorite dealer.
