Flickerstick head in a different direction but it still works.
When I heard Tarantula I was expecting more of the same but I was pleasantly suprised that they took a more adventurous route. I recently discovered this band and really loved their first album. 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.


amazing!!
I was expecting another Astronauts - catchy, melodic and edging on pop - but I was amazed at how much BETTER Flickerstick could actually get. For fans of Flickerstick, this will exceed everyone's expectations. 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!.


Worth the wait
Not in its goodness, but the sound is fairly different from the flickerstick we've all been used to. Definitely surprised by this cd. 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.


Great follow up record
This record pulls you in so many directions with sides of pop, rock, and psychedelic. The long awaited follow up to Welcoming home The Astronauts shows a great developmental side to this great band. 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.


still best band ever!!!!!
flickerstick is one of the best unknown bands out there. this cd is awesome! i loved it. 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!.
