The Flaming Lips "At War With The Mystics" CD
these guys don't have to prove themselves to me. after their last 4 albums, a DVD, and 1 live show on new years... they had me sold as the 2nd coming of Pink Floyd (oh...try and argue me!). I cracked a beer and threw this new album on. All of the genius songwriting, 3D recording, and deep lyrics r there. reliably. i loved yoshimi. synthetic electronic soundscapes and futuristic rhythms. but this album didn't have that. it sounds like a band recorded in 1976. a cross between the best late-era beatles and any pink floyd. i kept hearing riffs i was like damn, thats great, sounds familiar, oh its like the beatles or floyd. but that was a good memory! something i liked from years ago that i haven't heard again since back "in the day". the music and songwriting is there. they rock. it has everything. slow, groovin. funky, rockin', and psychedelic. pick it up if u have liked anything they have done in awhile. it is THE BEST thing they have done in 4 years fo sho'!!! 5 out 5 stars.
