Odditorium or Warlords of Mars was largely a return to the psychedelic, guitar-orientated rock of …The Dandy Warhols Come Down, moving away from the synth-heavy sound of their previous album, Welcome to the Monkey House. Two singles were released from the album: “Smoke It” and “All the Money or the Simple Life Honey”. The album received a mixed response from music critics.
Around this time, the band contributed to the soundtrack of the video game Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse with a cover of “All I Have to Do Is Dream” by The Everly Brothers.
