Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics

[UberBeaver]

Came out today, I picked it up. I'm about 1/2 way through and there is little doubt that the Lips are one of the greatest bands out today. Freaking brilliant. Best American band since the Pixies and/or Jane's Addiction.

 

[If you shout...]

Um, you are aware that the Lips have been around longer than either The Pixies or Jane's Addiction, aren't you...?

 

[UberBeaver]

Yeah, I know they've been around. But their early stuff wasn't as good as the Pixies and Jane's Addiction stuff.

I bought it today and i consider it the best album of the year so far.Especially the third song(the song of the failure) is astonishing.

I have their song SlowNerveAction on my myspace profile. I love it.

 

[IWasBored]

i don't like it.

That's a topic for Pirates. I will not be party to any illegal going's on. No sir, not I. I'm a fine, upstanding young man. How dare you try to corrupt me by leading me into such a place. I'm disgusted.

Anyone seen the video for The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song?

I think it's pretty sharp.

Got this in the mail this week along with new ones by Prince and Morrissey. So far, I like it. Yeah Yeah Yeah Song and Song of Failure both impress.

No big fans of Mr Ambulance Driver yet? Or Pompeii am Gotterdammerung?

 

[UberBeaver]

OK, I just found out that the Lips played two shows last week in NYC and no one freaking told me? You people let me down.

Ambulence Driver is great. The WAND & the 2nd song (Prince meets Beck sound) are brilliant.

 

[impy13]

Fanatical!

The Flaming Lips are really incredible in every way a rock band should be. I saw them once way back when (89 or something) and then again in the summer of 2003 for just a few dollars outdoors in Nashville.

The new album is in regular rotation in my life, and yesterday, I just discovered that they are doing a free show in Atlanta on May 21. I am hoping to go for sure.

Check out their website for tour dates.
