The long awaited follow up to Welcoming home The Astronauts shows a great developmental side to this great band. This record pulls you in so many directions with sides of pop, rock, and psychedelic. If you are a fan of this great band, or just someone looking for a great record then this is for you. One of the great releases of this year.

For fans of Flickerstick, this will exceed everyone's expectations. I was expecting another Astronauts - catchy, melodic and edging on pop - but I was amazed at how much BETTER Flickerstick could actually get. They were my favorite band prior to Tarantula, and now I can say without a doubt that there is no better band out there. My hope is that they remain essentially underground like they were with Astronauts, because I think that's what makes them such an experience. I don't know what to say about this album that hasn't already been said but it's so much less produced than Astronauts, and the sound jumps out and hits you over the head. It's so intense and edgy, and I really hope that Flickerstick keeps it up - they're only getting better!

Definitely surprised by this cd. Not in its goodness, but the sound is fairly different from the flickerstick we've all been used to. Catholic scars, bleeding, never enough, and tourist are all amazing tracks that make sure you know that this cd is gonna kick you in the pants. Recommended all around, but if you knew to find this im sure you're cool enough to just buy it.

I recently discovered this band and really loved their first album. When I heard Tarantula I was expecting more of the same but I was pleasantly suprised that they took a more adventurous route. The songs are not as poppy and are almost Pink Floyd-ish at times. There are really only two weak songs "Pistol In My Hand" and "Money and Dealers". Other than that another great album by Flickerstick.

Another great piece of music from Flickerstick. I Rank it right up there with Astronauts. Been waiting years for another full length and it exceeded my expectaions. A must buy if you are a fan!!! Or not one for that matter..

Seeing them tonight in Pittsburgh and can't wait... (9th Show). Taking my Teenage Dope Fiend with me.

Give it a listen. You won't regret the sound you hear!!!

this cd is awesome! i loved it. flickerstick is one of the best unknown bands out there. this cd has a little bit of everything for everyone. its hard to explain what kind of music it is because i feel i wouldnt be doing it justice, all one has to do is listen to the music and theyll know how special these guys are........if you never heard of flickerstick and this is your first cd of theirs....buy the other 3 you will not be disappointed........FLICKERSTICK IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!
