I non-sarcastically love the part at the beginning that stops 3 notes into the riff from In The Flesh.

53 years old, love Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Camel, ELP....this is any of those bands might have made this, these guys parents( who would be my age) right. There is hope for prog rock and the future! 420

Dudes voice is straight up Jello Biafra, but over psychedelic rock. Love everything about it

This reminds me of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

There's aren't many albums ive listened to beginning to end 20+ times... but this one is special

I can't help raising my hands and screaming when it gets to 39:40 because I feel like I'm an angry space ghost as well.

I absolutely love this album, I got it on Vinyl.

I was recently turned on to these guys after watching an episode of American Dad, The Majestic. I had to know who was doing the music, and discovered Wax Fang! amazing band!!!! love this album!! "OPEN MY EYES, OPEN MY HEART, OPEN MY MIND"...

Yeah really thank you American Dad. Jesus. What a phenomenal piece of music.

You guys honestly rule!#1

just added "buy HQ version of wax fang - astronaut" to my todo list. i love the grim album blossoming into astronaut part 3. love it.

Everyone is saying they hear Pink Floyd and sure enough I too hear the influences of Pink. It's just that I also hear tones of The Who's "Quadrophenia" influencing them as well. I'd also bet that there are some Meatloaf influences mixed in here as well. I think it's obvious that this band was inspired by all the GREAT dramatic Rock acts we older folks have enjoyed over the years. I'm just happy to find an act from the newer generation that's making music like this for their fans, the same way that us older folks once had our faves doing for us to enjoy. I really hope this act finds the spotlight and the eventual success that they deserve for writing such magical music!!! It's sad to me that this song has been around for a while and didn't really get the profitable recognition that it deserves. I found the song through "American Dad's" use of it in the episode where Jeff disappears. On a side note, I read a great article about why this song was used by the writer of that episode.

absolutely wonderful. this band has revived my heart and mind in a way I never thought could happen. I love losing myself in music and this provides a tether for me the listener to safely swim the vast expanse of my own inner universe

When i close my eyes. I can feel what they play! Awesome!!! Greetings from Germany ✌

35:05. pure groove, forces of gravity have come apart...

This reminds me so much of Rushs 2112. I love long story songs like this

This is my favorite song. I listen to it almost every day. all 40 minutes.

Cried by the end of The Astronaut part 3, when the guitar kicks in. This is a masterpiece.

Pink Floyd, ELO, David Bowie, The Pixies, and Queen all got together and had an amazing baby. That's the only explanation I can come up with for how awesome this was.

I never comment on videos, especially music, but my god this is art, and I dont even listen to very much rock. Now I am going to though... Probably getting this on vinyl. Damn, I am still in shock at the beauty.

BEST ROCK BAND EVER!!

3 years later, still the best band in the world.

where have you guys been all this years?! now i have to start wake and bake again - thanks

After 28:40 it gets really difficult not get the chills

Seriously epic, that opening guitar blew me away.

This band is like the mars volta got together with floyd thats a good thought.

So this is basically a 2010's version of Pink Floyd's "Echoes". I love it!

I like this band! They let me remember that I come from another organ and that I come from a different moment in the creater we all live in Soon peace will guide the planet and love will steer the stars

Listen to this on LSD and hashish it’s amazing. Reminds me of Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and Bowie and Alice Cooper, sometimes the music reminds me of Bauhaus but more this century. My niece turned me onto Wax Fang. She knows I’m an old space cadet and I’d love them, she was right. Hypnotising in its transcendent, epic beauty.

Excellent sound. Had never heard of this band until today. very very impressive. Keep up the great work, Wax Fang!

it sounds so inspired by pink floyd and david bowie, it's amazing to finally hear a modern band with so much technical skill and real knowledge in making songs mean something through not just the lyrics but the melody too. wax fang belongs in the era of queen, but sadly are under appreciated in a world full of dubstep

Saw these guys in concert in STL yesterday. They're just as awesome live. They deserve a bigger venue.

Holy wow. This is one of the best bands I've heard in quite some time.

It's a space rock opera about The Astronaut who is paddling around through space, he got himself into a black hole, where he has trouble breathing because time does not exist there. As energy is quietly ripping flesh from his bones, he wants to die already but right then he can't believe his eyes - he has transcended. It is then, when the forces of gravity have come apart, shattering into a billion pieces, he feels his body reassembling, can not explain all overwhelming, sudden memories, especially of his wife and children. Suddenly he has a feeling that he is no longer human, leaving his body and opening to the universe. He feels he's getting back near the solar system and lovely as this all has been, he still misses his wife, his children. He needs to find out where his children are, is wondering if they can see him coming and just wants to call them. Sort of. This album has been on my regular playlist for some years now, I've memorized most of the lyrics, but never really bothered to go through them and guess what they might mean. Thank you random reddit thread from four years ago.

I discovered this album 3 months ago, and every single time I listen to it, I feel transported to another dimension. I feel like I am this astronaut, lost in the unknown, out of his comfort zone and travelling through all the different moods a human can experience. Thank you for making great music, truly my favourite album of 2015 by far.

Good trance rock. Dreamy, but gritty enough to create a discrete space.

The stars don't want to shine on me It's just a waste of time and energy paddling around through space Then we took it down from this place It's so hard to breathe in here Can anybody please hear me out there? Death from life Life from death Time does not existDeath is our limit Time years is a lie Poisoning our minds Hanna lead only me into the unknown Hanna leave quietly let me please go home All that has and always will be Memories/Fantasies all you need Oh am, am I, am I dieing? Please kill me Break from, to, the light We will kill the night Energy tearing into me and announce my sorrow Energy scattering into me it fills my heart up I can't believe my eyes This is madness Rise from the ashes From the abysall I've transcended Darkness let me out Across the plane of no escape Forces of gravity have come apart, Come apartShattering into a billion pieces, Somehow my mind is sharp as a knife Is this really happening? I feel my body reassembling When will this illusion end? I miss my wife, I miss my children Fire and ice flow through my veins, Memories, they flood my brain Synapses are firing at a rate Which I cannot explain Suddenly I have a feeling That I am no longer human, I can't tell where my skin ends And the space around me, it begins No need to breathe, No need to eat, No need to sleep, I believe that I'm becoming alive with atoms of life And now I've got to open my eyes, Open my mind, open my heart, open everything I've got up to the divine, to the universe inside Is this really happening? I feel our solar system nearing Lovely as all this has been I miss my wife, I miss my children I miss my wife and I miss my children. Miss my wife and I miss my children From the abyss, I'm dead, I'm risen, I've got to find out... my children... Permission to go... Find out... See... Tell them I'm coming, Tell them I'm coming, Tell them I'm coming, coming, coming...

This is good, but as far as Pink Floyd is concerned, Meddle is way better than Umma Gumma. Close your eyes and see the music. Porcupine Trees is decent as well.

This is a fantastic album, it strikes a near perfect balance of the old and the new and is, appropriately enough, a great space rock album. The finale was especially great, "The Astronaut Part 3" was in my head all day, and I didn't mind one bit. Definitely buying a copy, thanks for letting us sample it for free though!

This album is fantastic.

Absolutely love it. I don't know why I hadn't heard of Wax Fang earlier.

The pings at 1700 are eerily close to Pink Floyds echoes. I dig it. It has a harder edge but definitely pulls you in.

Opening track is that of heaven man. Perfection.

The luxury of being leader is success. Couldn't find a pen
