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.

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

It's possible that they've claimed the prize of being my favourite band.

I got an advanced copy of [i]At War With the Mystics[/i], and it's bleeping awesome!

The Lips rock!

They have the new album on Torrents, but i would rather wait for it tomorrow and buy it. Plus there streaming it on there site, so i don't want to get sick of it.

All i have is Yoshimi and The Soft Bulletin and they are both pretty ace. I'll probably pick up the new one.

As well, hopefully I'm not the only person who thinks Zaireeka is a completely unnecessary, impratical, and therefore crappy, album.

At War is an awesome album - in my opinion better than anything they've done before.

It's definitly different, I'm glad they decided to do more of a rock album.

Sweet! Flamings Lips are heading to Sweden :D, now I REALLY have to check out their new album.

[QUOTE=PECOAE]At War is an awesome album - in my opinion better than anything they've done before.[/QUOTE]

i like the new album and all, but no way!

Come on?!

Have you heard the sonic landscaps and atmospheres of the middle group of the songs, or the heaviness of the first and last few?

IT ROCKS!!

[QUOTE=Zesty Mordant]As well, hopefully I'm not the only person who thinks Zaireeka is a completely unnecessary, impratical, and therefore crappy, album.[/QUOTE]

I strongly disagree. While it is a pain in the *** to get things set up, once you do the sound is excellent. [I]Machine in India[/I] is ace and although a lot of songs are hit or miss it's still a strange and interesting listen. Plus I don't think it's really ment to be take seriously.

I have to listen to these, apparently.

Zaireeka is sublime - be bothered to set it up.

They really are an amazing band.
