    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

    @ThomGreenwood: Everytime I change my opinion about what album I prefer..they made 3 beautiful and different albums! =)

    Does anyone else think Acrophobe is the best thing they ever did?

    ¿Te gustará esta canción después de 17 años? Post de Punk Rock Song inspirado en la canción 17 Years de Bad Astronaut y Armchair Martian http://punkrocksong.com.ar/17-years-armchair-martian-y-bad-astronaut/4856/

    youre pretty damn lucky!! i think it was a bad idea to reunite the band though. if joey says there's no bad astronaut without derrick plourde, he should stick to it.

    They just announced their mini-tour. I can't tell you how excited I was when they announced that they're playing right down my street! It's a dream come true.

    pretty much anything joey cape touches turns to gold. Twelve Small Steps is a brilliant listen

  • poppunknerd182

    I'm very surprised Minus is the top played track.

  • torspoo

    accidentally bumped into this band on Spotify and sounds really good... totally new to me

    February 2010

  • Maggi1337

    i only like acrophobe for unlucky stuntman and the covers other than that it's pretty...generic?

    January 2010

  • Maggi1337

    I think the correct sentence would be: Look at these fucking losers.
