}}Odditorium or Warlords of Mars is the fifth studio album by American rock band The Dandy Warhols. Recorded from April 2004 to January 2005 and released on September 13, 2005 by record label Capitol, the album features a return to the psychedelic, guitar-based sound of the group's earlier records, following their foray into synthpop with 2003's Welcome to the Monkey House.[2]

The album failed to match the success of its predecessors and received a mixed response from critics. Two singles were released from the album: "Smoke It" and "All the Money or the Simple Life Honey".

Background and production

The album's title references the novel The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs[3] as well as the band's Portland, Oregon pad The Odditorium, where the album was recorded from between April 2004 and January 2005. It was produced by Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Gregg Williams. Bandmember Zia McCabe worked on the album during a pregnancy with her first child, Matilda Louise, and gave birth only a week after its completion.

Release

The first single from the album, "Smoke It", was released on August 29, 2005. It peaked at No. 59 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] The Guardian praised the song, saying it "reeks of rock's decadent best".[5] The song was featured in "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang", an episode of Veronica Mars.[6]

Odditorium or Warlords of Mars was released on September 13, 2005. It peaked at No. 89 in the US Billboard chart[7]—their second highest charting album to date—and No. 67 in the UK,[8] staying in both charts for only one week.

The album's second and final single, "All the Money or the Simple Life Honey", was released on October 29.[9]

Critics were divided on their opinion of the album. The Guardian wrote, "The Dandy Warhols seem to knock out great music as easily as getting out of bed. Their fifth album further expands their palette of effortless cool", calling it "their best yet."[14] Drowned in Sound called it "an album full of creative magic and songwriting gems."[13] Trouser Press wrote: "Odditorium is the Dandys' magnum opus, a sprawling, rambling but somehow coherent result of the ambitions developed on previous albums".[18]

AllMusic, on the other hand, called it "half inspired, half-embarrassing and completely self-indulgent."[11] Pitchfork gave the album an exceptionally low 1.2/10 rating, writing "only the truly earless would mistake this assortment of bloated in-jokes and interminable, sub-song drones for some kind of masterpiece."[15] Alternative Press wrote, "Basically, Odditorium sounds like a giant "f**k you" to [their] record label."[19]

Frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor once called the album "definitely the strongest we've ever made"[20], but would later admit it was "a f**k you record. Drop us, please, we want off your label."[21]
