Reviews

Rolling Stone (6/24/99, p.67) - 3 out of 5 - "...Smash Mouth roll their big, goofy Cali jock pop into high gear....the boys borrow and bluff their way into a pleasant mix that's as inspired by the Cars as it is my the Beatles....ASTRO LOUNGE is easy listening in the truest sense."

Spin (7/99, p.134) - 7 (out of 10) - "...ASTRO LOUNGE is a fresh mix of attitude and ingenuousness...."

Entertainment Weekly (6/11/99, p.69) - "...the epitome of mindless, good-timey frat-boy groups- and more power to them....yields 15 swell slices of goofy, post-psychedelic pop-rock..." - Rating: B

Q (9/99, pp.114,116) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...melodies for groovy, hook-laden singalongs....reveals Smash Mouth to be much more than one-dimensional, one-hit wonders."

Alternative Press (8/99, pp.89,92) - 4 (out of 5) - "...Tastefully layered...features more cohesive and compelling eclecticism...ASTRO LOUNGE exceeds expectations."

CMJ (7/5/99, p.26) - "...A handful of ASTRO LOUNGE's 15 tunes - from the jangly opener "Who's There" to the hooky "All Star" - have the words "instant hit" written all over them....it's mellow grooves won't impede the stampede of teenyboppers from enjoying it..."
