Causing a Catastrophe is the awesome new live CD from Flickerstick that boasts their undeniable skills as a killer live band. The album features two new tracks called "Telling All the World" and "Believe" which show a definite maturity in the bands songwriting. The album also contains the groups amazing cover of Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You." The album contains classic Welcoming Home the Astronauts tracks like "Coke", "Beautiful", and "Direct Line to the Telepathic". The album is a brilliant live offering from the band and I recommend picking it up as soon as you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing!, December 3, 2002

So many people have a limited knowledge base of this band from Dallas, Texas. Listeners typically know them from their stint on VH1 or may have heard their Epic release, but "Causing a Catastrophy" is the real deal. Flickerstick impressed me from the start, but it was when I saw them live for the first time that I was hooked, and now everyone can have near the same experience with their latest release. The band thrives on stage and it is apparent through their music. The songs are well selected with some of their best material from "Welcoming Home the Astronauts" as well as two new songs and the Mazzy Star cover, "Fade Into You". The album is artfully recorded and mixed unveiling the true sound that Flickerstick fans have been enjoying for quite some time. Get this album! You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rarity, December 21, 2002

Seldom are the times when you check out a live performance of your favorite group and it turns out that the live show actually measures up to their studio recording. I'm happy to report that Flickerstick's deliverance on stage far surpasses anything that could be captured by a savvy studio producer or engineer.

If you're reding this review, you are more than likely well acquainted with either of the band's previous studio efforts. And if you have not had the fortune of witnessing Flickerstick in your town, then this CD might give you some insight. No boom mike or straight-off-the-mixing board tape will probably compare to the electricity when Brandon wails with unpretentious delivery, or when Dom (I'm your LEGAL representative) pounds the Marlboro smoke out of your lungs, as Cory and Rex trade nails-to-the-chalkboard guitar textures and Fletch anchors this insanity like the real live performance. But this CD, as much as a digital rendering can, draws a virtual experince unlike most live recodings.

If U2's "Under a Blood Red Sky" or Cheap Trick's "Live at Budokan" quenched your vicarious craving for those live goosebumps, then this is your record.

"Causing a Catastrophy Live" is an apt title for such a well-orchestrated group.
