bienstock's Full Review: Is It...Man or Astroman? by Man Or Astro-Man?
Man or Astroman! is difficult to categorize...mix equal portions of cheesy sci-fi B-movie and catchy surf music and this is the end result...a fun, unique album...
Their space age surf music is bizarre...and oddly addictive...but where these rockers really excel is live...their shows can not be aptly described in an epinions review...picture four guys dressed in '50s-esque space outfits jumping around on the stage while odd noises and samples from science class filmstrips permeate throughout the venue...
Their schtick is endearing and Man or Astroman! has been able to put out close to 50 releases in the last decade...very prolific indeed! Their songs may sound similar to the uninitiated ear, but this is one of their better efforts...
The best songs on the album include "Clean Up on Aisle #9" and "Nitrous Burn Out"...the tunes are fun for cocktail parties and driving...
Be sure to also check out "Destroy All Astromen!", which features the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Love Theme, a song that is perhaps their best known as a result of its play on the Sci-Fi Channel as the opening song to the MST3K series...but to truly appreciate Man or Astroman! you have to see them play live...
