[QUOTE=pete L.]They went from pretty fun and experimental to a psychedelic riot between "she don't use jelly" and now. I like it all.[/QUOTE]

oh my god that song vaseline is awesome probably my favorite one, next to fight test and spongebob and patrick confront the psychic wall of energy :thumb:

I heard that Spongebob song and it was actually pretty cool.

I am starting to really get into them lately, is there an album that anyone here reccomends as my first Flaming Lips album to purchase?

Everyone except Tangy is gonna say Yoshimi or The Soft Bulletin.

I say Yoshimi.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots really is a great album.

Yoshimi, or Transmissions from the Satellite Heart.

I don't like the Soft Bulletin much, it just doesn't click with me, for the most part.

Soft Bulletin and Transmissions are my favorite Flaming Lips albums.


I also like that song they did for Suburbia. It's quite good, and has a classic rock feel to it.

I'm gonna say that I haven't heard the whole of Soft Bulletin. "The Spark That Bled" is so nice though, it's just oozing with machismo.

You should. It's very good. I wish I ownd it though. At least I have it burned. :thumb:

You're Mom's overrated.

Nice bump...meh

Flaming Lips are crazy good.

Their best albums are the one's they made in the 80's. I like [I]Oh My Gawd...The [/I][I]Flaming Lips, Hit to Death in the Future Head[/I] and [I]Finally, [/I][I]the Punk Rockers are Taking Acid[/I] the best. Yoshimi is a solid effort, but some of the tracks toward the middle of the album are just a bore (Are You a Hypnotist?). [I]Zarieeka[/I] is very unique and is an incredible listen once you get it properly hooked up.

The new album is pretty damn good. It's a lot like Yoshimi, but also a lot like their older stuff.

Hot damn.

wow, huge bump.

anyway, Hit To Death in the Future Head is mind blowing.
like My Bloody Valentine + Butthole Surfers. crazy distorted fuzzy noisy psychedelic punk rock at it's best.

There streaming 'At War With The Mystics' on the Flaming Lips website, I've listened to it about five times. There's only two songs i don't really like, but a great album.

I've listened to some of it. Hasn't grabbed my attention as well as I had hoped it would, but it's great anyway.

It's good, but a bit more pop-sounding than I thought - at times I'm reminded of Simply Red :). [I]Yoshimi[/I] still rules.

Anyone else seeing them play at Reading?

They're playing Reading?!?

They were on Letterman last night... It ****ing rocked!

A brilliant line-up this year; even better than last year, in fact. It's not perfect, but Radiohead are already playing V Festival so we'll have to make do with Muse. Not that you can tell Yorke and Bellamy apart anyway...

there a great band. i own hit to death in the future head and the soft bulletin.

They're playing near me in a month or so, i'd love to see them but it's sold out.

I love them, although i don't listen to them that much anymore. My favorite is probably Transmissions From the Sattelite Heart. They've helped me through some tough times in the past, since you can't listen to the Flips and not feel much happier afterwards.

I think [i]Soft Bulletin[/i] is a lot better than [i]Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots[/i].

The only album I have (and its just on my computer) is [i]Clouds Taste Metallic[/i], but there isn't a bad song on it and I think it's just great. Like stoner Muppets.

[QUOTE=neighborhood fascist]I think [i]Soft Bulletin[/i] is a lot better than [i]Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots[/i].[/QUOTE]

Well yeah, it [i]is[/i] better. Yoshimi isn't all it's cranked up to be for me, it's no more than decent. Although In The Morning Of The Magicians is a perfect song.

I have Clouds Taste Metallic, The Soft Bulletin and Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, and the all rule pretty damn hard.

What a band, Wayne's voice is just fantastic.

Has anyone ever heard of the band The Orange Peels? Well, the beginning of the first track on their album [i]Circling the Sun[/i] sounds a lot like the beginning of "Race for the Prize."

Really really good band. I love'em.

The Soft Bulletin has better songs, but Yoshimi is a better album overall IMO. It's mood and tone is great, it gives me a futuristic/fun feeling when i listen to it. The beats are far better in Yoshimi (I'm a big Electronica fan) so Yoshimi is high in my list.
