    I'd say Houston is their best, and 12 Steps the worst... funny how we all feel different :).

    Apparently Bad Astronaut are playing in Santa Barbara, CA on August 13! Hope that means something good - whether more touring or new material. http://www.joeycape.com/shows/

    Disarm is a masterpiece. Maybe their finest work yet.

    12 small steps is flawless houston has some really good songs, but to me some songs are kind of annoying acrophobe is an ep + covers not saying houston and acrophobe are bad, but 12 small steps is their peak
