Welcoming Home the Astronauts is the debut album from Flickerstick. It was originally independently released in 2000 on 226 Records, but after the band won VH1's Bands on the Run , a reality television show for unsigned music acts, Flickerstick was signed by Sony, and the album was remixed and released by Epic.

The Sony/Epic re-release of the album features a number of musical & lyrical changes to the songs, as well as new artwork, a different track list order, removal of the song "Right Way to Fly", and addition of songs "Smile" and hidden bonus track "Execution by Christmas Lights".

Epic released from the album three singles: "Beautiful", "Smile", and "Coke", with both "Beautiful" and "Coke" receiving fan-requested radio airplay prior to the album's debut.
