May 23, 2013Sick album. So much melody, so much heart. Every track is unique and builds and builds to a crescendo. A very uplifting album actually. One of my favourites. Beautiful vocal harmonies too. A real passion for music being displayed here.

May 25, 2013This album doesn't have anything special, easy songs, easy music, easy vocals. They are just a band like thousands in the world. Someone can explain to me how this album could be ranked with a 10??

ChinoP.May 29, 2007Excellent album! One of the best I heard in the year so far. I really don't understand why some "critics" rate it so low.

mikes.Mar 23, 2007an average release, nothing special. May bring back some good ol memories of beta band, but it lacks good songwriting and lacks the witty humor of the former lead singer of beta band. Feels like a dumbed down version of beta band.

M.GM.GMar 18, 2008If you can, next time you see your mum, hug her for giving birth to you. Make sure you have heard this record first and you won't be able to stop yourself. Still I dream of it Of that happy day When I can say I've fallen in love And it haunts me so Like a dream that's Somehow linked to all the stars above

JacksonGMar 22, 2007It got kind of annoying and repititive on the first listen, but after each following listen I've come to enjoy it more. Give it some time.

SteveMar 31, 2007Just like the Beta Band, this is full of innovative, catchy tunes that outshines much of what is being produced these days. At a time when music is so dull and unoriginal, this is indeed refreshing.

MatthewC.May 27, 2007After seeing Pitchfork's rating and review for this album I'm convinced that it's writers are a bunch of fucking idiots. How can you give this any less than a 10?

It’s a fun mess, and although heavily indebted to 60s psyche folk and acid rock, Astronomy For Dogs has a verve and colour that saves it from derivative pastiche.
-
As with the Beta Band, exploratory self-indulgence is rather the point of the Aliens, but here it's firmly anchored by fantastic songs.

UncutEvery one of these 11 songs is a work of wayward genius. [Apr 2007, p.106]
