Yay Flaming Lips! I still think Yoshimi is the best

White Lies · 12-03-2006, 03:58 PM

I have 2 of their albums - CTM and YBTPR

Clouds Taste Metallic is fantastic, all great songs.
Yoshimi has some good songs, but too much filler. Overrated.

Oh and I saw them live recently, it was without doubt the best show I've ever been at. Such a surreal, amazing atmosphere and lots of great, trippy effects (lasers, screens and such). Awesome night.

White Lies - you should get The Soft Bulletin, it's probably in between the two. It's my fave album of the many they've done (though I could never be bothered to shell out for Zaireeka). The latest album is OK but not great.

I saw their show with Sonic youth. The music videos the had on a projector added alot to their show, and the music was decent (they did one hell of a "War Pig's" cover to end it) but i really wasn't all that impressed with their music. I had listened to their music before and not really liked it too much; seing them live helped but they relied on stage gimmicks a bit too much, although it did add a lot of energy. Good band, though in my opinion not great.

Of course, I love sonic youth and sonic youth played right before them so... Maybe that was it.

Do you realize is probably my favorite song of theirs, that or yoshimei.

I was going to see them last year when they were playing the At War With the Mystics shows but I came down with the worst flu Ive ever had in my life a few days before the show so my dad went in my place.
