…The Dandy Warhols Come Down is the second studio album by American alternative rock band The Dandy Warhols, released in July 1997 on Capitol Records. The album features a change in style from the garage rock- and shoegaze-influenced sound of their previous album, Dandys Rule OK, to a more psychedelic, Britpop-influenced alternative rock sound with elements of power pop. It features the single "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth", which helped to establish the band's popularity.[1]

It is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[2]

The album received a mixed critical reception. Allmusic criticised the album's consistency, writing "The band has talent for not just punchy hooks, but for layered sonics as well, but they don't know how to meld the two together."[3] Rolling Stone, on the other hand, called the album "the most exhilarating '60s-into-'90s excursion yet attempted by an American band", following with "if this is the Dandy Warhols coming down, the mind boggles at the thought of them flying high."[11]
