How rare it is to have a connected album from start to finish these days - when albums were your friends and you'd spend the night on the floor with them, the vinyl, and a sleeve of liner notes.
I really, really miss that feeling. Thanks for saying what was in my heart but I couldn't quite describe. I know the comment is 9 months old as of this post, but that's fine. :)
3 years on and I'm still endlessly playing this Album. How these guys make pain, loss and death sound so so beautiful is simply amazing. Not just my favourite Lips album but one of my favourite albums of all time, and I am lucky enough to of started my musical journey with the beetles. A magical, beautiful album
That's so interesting to hear and makes me want to listen to it more closely. I love the Flaming Lips but don't hold this album in as high regard as you do. Could be just a difference of opinion but I'm curious to see if I can hear what you're hearing
@@joemetzger1687 So pleased I have prompted you to have another listen with a different ear. If it still sounds the same, no harm done, but I really hope you find the love I have for this beautiful album. All the best.
This album reminds me why I fell in love with The Flaming Lips in the first place when I first heard The Soft Bulletin. The combination of sadness and euphoria communicated through psychedelic rock is something they do incredibly well. This late in the band's career, this is one of their best albums.
One of their better albums. Feels like a story from start to finish, it has bangers on it, and surprisingly the song about Dinosaurs is one of my favorites off it lol.
Discovered this by accident. The marketing for this album is criminal. I had no idea it even existed. Didn't see it anywhere. It's a shame the promotion is just not happening because this is beautiful. It reminds me of that Post-Yoshimi era that I need in my life. I love you guys. I saw you in concern in Raleigh, NC a couple years ago. I still have the sweater.
Sigh. An adorable album. What a bunch of songwriters, romantics and evergreen cotton brainers! I looove it! Beatlesque and very psychedelic, beautiful melodies all over. I thought AIR were the first with this retro style...but the flaming lips are, in reality, as it seems! Were a nice band and still are. Sounds as George Harrison played the gutitar, wow! How can someone dislike...its great! 😂😉🤩😎✊🤷♂️💁♂️🙆♂️
This album stands up to the classics of any era...and despite the sonic references to the past...the retrospection... and sense of social distance of the band and audience in their own bubbles is the perfect image of contemporary pandemic humanity.
At War With The Mystics was my 1st exposure To TFL. Accidental Discovery. Loved it but I have many Musical Rabbit Holes. Tame Impala and KGLW brought me back . An Awesome Journey continues 🛸
I first learned about Flaming Lips when I saw them open up for Lush, spring '92, at the Palace in L.A. I was right in front of Wayne, and I remember that he used a toy lazer gun as an instrument, and that a lot of the songs were fun and catchy, but they didn't really cling on to me. And I wasn't exactly a fan of that tangerine song. However, about 12 years ago, I went recording shopping with a new friend. He agreed to buy Felt if I bought Soft Bulletin, and I have been impressed by Flaming Lips ever since. I think they are ridiculously talented; just their cover of the first Stone Roses album is jaw-droppingly impressive. But all the records that they have been releasing on Bella Union are breathtaking creative, not just because of their musicianship, but that after so many years of recording music, Flaming Lips does not seem to run out of ideas. They do not repeat themselves, or rely on comfortable musical crutches. They innovate and innovate and innovate. Flaming Lips has my respect and admiration and much more.
The free Flaming Lips show on the riverfront in downtown Portland was hands down the best show I’ve ever been to. This album rekindled that feeling again. A close friend is moving to Norman, Oklahoma and I’m kinda jealous he’ll be in the vicinity of The Womb.
Listening to flaming lips songs since 1993 rediscovered them e just this year by RUclips and live footage.. U am rarely aI dreamer but i just would love to be able to go to US concert this year and acknowledge the sheer divine Madness that they are... Will have to win the lottery... Or you guys come to Berlin!! The city needs you!!
Wow! The music gives me a feeling I can’t even describe!! Grew up listening to the Flaming Lips & now in my thirties I get to raise my kids listening to this amazing music! Can’t wait to see you guys play live again in a few months! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was just planning a small project to piece together the previously released videos to the full album length, now it’s already done for me! Thanks so much for this!!
I love you for ever...I yet had only 2 wonderfull parties with you in Hamburg and Cologne...love everything about you....thanx for everything! Bless you, Barbie López
Perfect songs to read the subjective forms of the clouds and to follow with a tender eye the grooves of the stems of the trees; appreciate the complex writing of the nested branches, taste the colors of the decomposition of light into water droplets in a garden, and strongly feel the wet soil of ancestral forest to perceive the traces of animals from deep past 🍍🌴
The Flaming lips work feels more like a modern version of a symphonic composition than just another album. Maybe just me. What I'm trying to say is this is masterful work and spreads my ear table with bountiful joy. Good stuff. Ps I really want to let him out of the bubble but I'm not sure if that is what he wants
Absolutely BRILLIANT, both the music and the images. [One quibble is that it is unfortunate that some of the more serious songs on the album are paired with footage of zonked hipsters doing celebratory dancing in bubbles; it would arguably be more appropriate to see more footage of the band performing, and maybe more psychedelic/surreal/abstract imagery, with the audience deemphasized.] Anyway: THANK YOU, FLAMING LIPS: you've given us something here we can never repay, a powerful musical statement to help us process our grief and grapple with the wide spectrum of the mystery of our short, fragile lives.
Difficult to compare the coloring of his voice to other male singers. Definitley blessed. It's nice that he's been able to sustain that timbre from when they were young and just starting out. Probably not smoker. They say he (the singer) is a great drummer, too.
You guys fill my heart with inspiration every time I listen or think about you. This song is classic lips to me and I love it. I hope we get to meet or work on a song together or play together one day.
The complete album is a master piece ,I like all the songs ,god en the police I would say stands for me ,but it's just genial ,keep on this Trac flaming lips its just music what humans need to be united.

👬👨🏿🤝👨🏼I agree wholeheartedly. It's just what I need to hear right now. I get some feeling what you felt and now that you wrote this.👨🏿🤝👨🏼👬
That's so interesting to hear and makes me want to listen to it more closely. I love the Flaming Lips but don't hold this album in as high regard as you do. Could be just a difference of opinion but I'm curious to see if I can hear what you're hearing

well said!!!
Eternal 💋🔥
This is most succinct and saturated definition of the Flaming Lips to date. Well done.
@@OrdoCorvus' oh my gawd ' or 'priest driven ambulance" ' .... are to Me the purest definition of The Flamjng Lips
One of their better albums. Feels like a story from start to finish, it has bangers on it, and surprisingly the song about Dinosaurs is one of my favorites off it lol.
Truly is a concept album fully enveloping one soul's journey through this all encompassing chaotic paradise
I never thought I'd be so sad about the dinosaurs!
@@eternaldoorman5228 apparently we are too late, little guys are all alone as well.
That is a good song. I remember when I used to be dinosaurs really existed.

almost almost with par with Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi this album is overlooked in my opinion mainly because it came out during the pandemic.
they don't care if you like it or not...😊

Okay. AIR did some similar works, but in fact they were first. The flaming lips did this not long ago...😂😂😂
This album stands up to the classics of any era...and despite the sonic references to the past...the retrospection... and sense of social distance of the band and audience in their own bubbles is the perfect image of contemporary pandemic humanity.
This is my favorite album of all-time, by any band, in any era. Long live the Flaming Lips. 💚🤟
This is the BEST album to come out of the ashes of 2020, period
Well.....huh....ummmm.....I mean....frickin epic....what a musical experience....just simply amazing
not sure Ill ever play this again because I want to let the one experience of listening to it be a unique moment in my life. A non-fungible moment.
No
Listen to it again
It's magic
I get it your looking for the sublime moment look at the pale blue dot now FUBAR
The Flaming Lips are such a special band, their music gets right into your soul, American Head, best Album since Yoshimi.
Those soaring melodies!!
Oczy Mlody gets me everytime....perhaps slightly overlooked. I rate that up there with Yoshimi. This one's getting close too for sure.
Best since Embryonic
👍🎶

Nice KGLW connection. Spread the word
I first learned about Flaming Lips when I saw them open up for Lush, spring '92, at the Palace in L.A.

Lush is a really good band.
Man, it's crazy to see The Flaming Lips make a visual album. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

just saw these guys last week in london. one of the best shows I've ever seen. stunning.

An immense and immersive journey.
this albums such a trip, i cant wait to see you all in Liverpool 2022 x
Wow! The music gives me a feeling I can’t even describe!! Grew up listening to the Flaming Lips & now in my thirties I get to raise my kids listening to this amazing music! Can’t wait to see you guys play live again in a few months! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Steven, myspace isn't a thing anymore, but your still my hero and still my friend. Love you always.
Best music for my worst life always. Since the 90s. Thank you. I need it so bad.
What a great powerhouse treasure of talent. This band never got the recognition they deserved .
I was just planning a small project to piece together the previously released videos to the full album length, now it’s already done for me! Thanks so much for this!!
You could still do it for their older discography
@@Dzztzt good point! Maybe I’ll start with Oczy
@@bogdoot that album was awesome too, best of luck with your project
Can so tire of these guys nowadays but Dig-dug A.H. but Already Ready for a new Flips album..but hasn't been 2 years yet 😉 Droozdd..Come back Ronnie
I love how unique all there albums are.
Loved your show in Tallahassee. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Wow haven't been on a musical journey like this in a long while
my heart is melting it's so beautiful
I just started listening to this album this past week, you win Flaming Lips A.I. the timing is perfect for this release.
I have been fucking feeling this album lately. I kept putting off listening but I finally sat down and absorbed. I'm impressed. Instant classic
Drozd at the end of Will You Return fucking kills me...
Happy belated birthday, Wayne! All things beautiful to you and to all flaming lips in 2022 🤍🔥🦄⚡
OMG, soooo ethereal and dreamy and they still keep blowin mah mind after all these years!
I love you for ever...I yet had only 2 wonderfull parties with you in Hamburg and Cologne...love everything about you....thanx for everything! Bless you, Barbie López
This whole thing is amazing. Such a good idea. A visual album. I don't know why more bands don't do this.
This album is a masterpiece. Nuff said.
Very thankful these boys consistently produce such wonderful works of art.
100% !!!

Just beautiful - can't wait to hear these live when TFL return to the UK
Wow - this is absolutely incredible 😢
Thank you for keeping psychedelic counter culture alive. MAKE U.S.ACID GREAT AGAIN!
Eat mushrooms, not acid you dolt.

Every one of his songs are a story
Oh God. Thank you for your music, Flaming Lips. You all rock!

Somebody please tell this machine I’m not a machine
Unit 3000-21 is warming....
Makes a humming sound
While its circuits duplicate emotion
Today ain’t garbage day / ain’t no garbage taken today
the best song in the best band
Ive really grown to love this band over the years.
Argentina los necesita vengan pronto
Love this album!!!!!!!!!!! What a band!!!!!

Everything the Flaming Lips touch turns to gold.
They are a force of nature that science cannot explain.🎉
Good werk Jorge Zalzburry. Tis purdy. Muzak is also purdy.
In their top 5, I think. A remarkable achievement.
I'm at work, I need another coffee, and I hated to pause this. Damn fine album.
This band 😍 still rules
Marvellous.
Yes! Weeks later this for me is the best Lips Album , so far...... no need to surpass it! 🤫
This is great.
It’s a good sign, actually. ☮️
Sounds amazing
My absolute favorite band 💓
I still hope one day they'll be able to get Ronald Jones back to play on one song or Album.
A 12-year-old kid would walk out of his room a man after listening to this album.
lol
So deep, lol I'm kidding
Difficult to compare the coloring of his voice to other male singers. Definitley blessed. It's nice that he's been able to sustain that timbre from when they were young and just starting out. Probably not smoker. They say he (the singer) is a great drummer, too.
Excellent!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌋 and the symbolism is superb
A masterpiece!
You guys fill my heart with inspiration every time I listen or think about you. This song is classic lips to me and I love it. I hope we get to meet or work on a song together or play together one day.
You're great!!! Come to Argentina. 💚
I'll always love you! COME TO BRAZIL.
Kacey's vocals throughout 😍🎶💖

The complete album is a master piece ,I like all the songs ,god en the police I would say stands for me ,but it's just genial ,keep on this Trac flaming lips its just music what humans need to be united.

America's best band.
