Damn. They were big in my childhood even before shrek

It was cool how they frequently used 60s songs, and had a general "through the years" vibe going. People picked up on that for sure, it's easy to forget they're not just the Shrek band.

Honestly i feel like Astro Lounge was an album ahead of it's time in that they were really the first to bring that retro 60s/70s sound an incorporate it in to modern mainstream pop. Like if that album came out today it would still be a hit.

I like the angry sound of their first album a lot, but yes Astro Lounge is great.
