By now, anyone who's a fan of The Flaming Lips knows about this album. There's nothing as spectacular as there is on The Soft Bulletin or Yoshimi, but there are a few songs that hold their own quite well.
The flaw to this particular album, is the same reason why it's so loved and still commonly discussed - an album meant to be played on four separate CD players, simultaneously.
The sheer ridiculousness of having to plan a listening party, and having the right amount of players is a very trying experience, yet at the same time is the only way to truly hear this album.
3.5 for the actual songs, 1 for the concept
