Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Look! No Head!.......2005-09-27

To call this album "surf" is an injustice. It implies a childish, immature, carefree fun little record. This record is incredible, and while it does have that surf guitar influence, that's too narrow of a definition for it. I wouldn't dare call the Pixies surf, despite the fact that Joey Santiago was heavily influnced by it.
That quarrel aside.... this album is great. Some of the best tracks include: "Look! No Head!" "Syncophant" and "Boris the Conductor" buy it. now.

5 out of 5 stars Absurd but great!.......2004-06-17

Members of my beach house and I stumbled into the Dogfish Head in Rehoboth Beach where Laika and the Cosmonauts were playing. We all came out converts to the Cosmonaut cause. Two bought t-shirts and one bought a copy of "Absurdistan", which became our house theme music immediately. We play it on the porch, to the amazement of tourists and locals alike. Most always we get the thumbs up. Check out the free download of "Disconnected" and see for yourself!
