In Space is an album that should appeal to anyone who digs Alex Chilton; however, anyone expecting a Big Star album is going to be more than a bit puzzled by most of these tunes.
-
In Space would be a decent Posies album, and there's enough for a passable Chilton solo joint, but as a Big Star release, it's inescapably disappointing.
-
Q MagazineIt's a loose affair, typical of Chilton's slapdash attitude towards heritage curation. [Oct 2005, p.114]
-
Pleasant in parts, embarrassing in others, In Space sounds more like an okay album from any of a dozen Big Star-inspired bands than like Big Star itself.
-
BlenderIt sounds as bitter and cynical as most of Chilton's solo stuff since Big Star originally imploded. [Oct 2005, p.134]
-
Problem is, In Space isn’t a Big Star album. Or particularly good, for that matter.
