After the Astronaut was set to be the eighth studio album by the Butthole Surfers, and it was supposed to be released in 1998 (see 1998 in music). After a release date was set, critics were sent advance copies of the album to listen to. Some thought it was horrible, which caused the album not to be released. Since advance copies were sent to critics and possibly others, the album has been leaked online. Most of the copies found online are said to be sourced from a cassette copy of the album. The bulk of the tracks on the album were re-worked and put on the band's official eighth album, Weird Revolution.
Another major reason this album was not released is the artwork. Before the album was released. the band Marcy Playground found the artwork in Capitol Records' files, and decided they would use it for their 1999 album Shapeshifter (album). Capitol decided that the battle to get the art back was not worth the hassle, since the album contained no hits (according to Capitol), so the album went unreleased.
