The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots (2002)
They had an incredible decade prior to this releasing 3 other top notch albums, but by far this one sticks out as the most successful and easiest to pickup. They have a lot more after this release as well, but I think Wayne found himself diving into an era of depression and it absolutely showed on those later releases. The last release was good but also nothing special at the same time.
Ahhh they toured this album last year and it was amazing.
It’s not the shows from 20 years ago, but there’s still lots of confetti and smoke and glitter and sparkles.
He got in the ball but stayed on stage with it which was weird cuz it just looked like he was trying to hotbox farts
At War With The Mystics is their best album, and I will fight people. Even if track 2 is dumb.
Anyway the Flaming Lips were always on a bizarre trajectory that only coincidentally crossed what normal people consider music. Right before The Soft Bulletin they released a four-disc album that was designed for all four discs to be played at the same time. They went from Mystics to Christmas On Mars to Embryonic to 7 Skies H3 to The Terror... and it's not so much a dropoff in quality as a continued vector through what-the-fuckery.
The anti-Bush album dated itself quickly, but it was still pretty solid, when in context.
