Major record label Capitol Records were impressed by Dandys Rule OK, and decided to sign the band.
In 1997, they released their second studio album, ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down.
It was their second attempt at a follow-up album, after their first attempt was rejected by Capitol, who claimed it didn't have any "hits".
Three singles were released for Come Down, all of which entered the Top 40 in the UK charts.
Being their first record on a major label, Come Down featured a more commercial, polished sound, abandoning the garage rock sound of the previous album in favor of a more psychedelic and power pop-influenced sound.

In 1998, drummer Eric Hedford left the band after a dispute over royalties, and was replaced by Taylor-Taylor's cousin Brent DeBoer.
