 new sound from old band members February 1, 2008
well i first heard this album autumn last year and i have evntually got round to buying it! the first track i heard on the album was the second track 'robot man' i immediately thought of 70s esque psychedelic pop/rock, awesome!
the aliens are pretty much made up of ex beta band members. i am totally hard pushed to describe the sound of this band, at a stab in the dark i would say early sounds of the who, bowie, marc bolan and even in instances the pop sound of the beach boys. one def not to be missed.
my fave song on the album is the last track 'caravan', some of the vocals sound like a young jim morrison from the doors. you simply must buy this album if you want to hear something new but with old mixed in. bring on the follow up album........
 A joy January 9, 2008
I really don't have the time to write an extensive review. I just want to encourage anyone who hasn't listened to or purchased this album yet to do so. For me this is probably the best album released this year.

Like many people I shed tears of sorrow when the Betas split, possibly the best unknown band from Britain ever, so it was geat to hear that a few of the old and very old Betas where forming the Aliens. This is a superb album that steers well and truly clear of any current trends and is an amalgamation of various musical influences. Naturally there is a slight comparison to the Beta Band, it would be hard for this album not to have any of there earlier sound, but also in the mix are the Beatles, Beach Boys, some Latin, Electro and Bowie. Rox is the standout track along with the beutiful 'She don't love me no more'. Basically this is ace and any fans of the Betas are going to adore it and so will people who have never heard of he Beta Band. The Aliens have landed and it's about bloody time. Top Marks

"Not going back, down on the track, you gotta get down now"
Saw them in the Thekla in Bristol a few weeks back - dragged a mate along after explaining that it will be as good as the Beta Band farewell gig we witnessed a few years previous. He now reminds me of the band who did an encore reminiscent of Primal Scream, Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays - all distilled into one little jar on jam. Beta Band? Better Band.
Follow this with an euphoric Glastonbury ( I AM the Robot Man ;)) and I still can't get enough.
Play me a more original album this year and I will smoke it.
Stand out tracks on an outstanding album - Robot Man and Rox
Thankyou and goodnight.

I first heard the Aliens single on the Rob da Bank show months ago, and what I heard didn't convince me to rush out and buy the album. However, the other reviews on this page "best album 2007", "the album the beta band should have made" etc. led me to think I may have been a bit hasty. And I was - this is a good album, certainly superior to the Lone Pigeon offerings Concubine Rice and Sccchhooozzmiii. It has the definite mark of Anderson, which seems to be a bit more wilfully chaotic than the Beta Band sound judging by his other stuff. The only disappointment from my point of view is the fact that this is not "the album the Beta Band should have made" as I had been led to believe, and in the search for that Holy Grail of an album, disappointments are hard to take. Anyway, that's all, if you've read this far, you might be interested enough in my recommendation for Steve Mason's King Biscuit Time albums, especially the No Style EP which I think come closest to the Three EPs so far. Happy listening...
