Man I love this album!
Just saw the FLips for the 4th time a couple weeks ago.
Such a fun band.
The Soft Bulletin is definitely one of my favourite albums of all time.

As much as I question sounds like posts, I do think that there is an appropriate like quality to Wayne Coyne's atmospheric delivery. Appropriate to Flaming Lips like Jon Anderson's voice was appropriate to Yes.

HMMMMMMM
This almost looks like the cover of the Lips new album...their version of Floyd's Dark Side But this post was 2 years old......spooky coincidence?I think not....wave-particle duality. |

One of my favourite albums (and the best the Lips have released)
Very nice song choice.

It would be far more interesting were the singer to use more than the same three notes in the same sequence. Just for variety, you understand. Otherwise this is just plain dull  |

This album roolz! It's like the old days when the whole thing fits together so that it really should be listened to straight through. Wayne Coyne is the weirdo perpetrator of this particular madness. Relax and enjoy..  Yes, I do think it might be chemically derived  |

I wonder what the original person who slammed him has done with their talents lately? |

Love, love LOVE the Lips. If you ever get to see them in concert, do it. Totally memorable experience. Thanks, Bill, for the song!

The Flaming Lips rise above the term "band" and obtain the title "Godlike"

We like the Flaming Lips here in San Carlos. In fact, we even like that wacko Dell TV commercial with the Lips tune in the bground.

I disagree. Consider the voices of Dylan or Young. Great music, crappy voices. But it works. |

I agree. Out of context I can only rate it a 10. |

Ziggytrix,
i guess that depends on what you mean by "serious"?
It's serious when Bill plays it, and I hear it. Personally, I'll dump this in the same bin I put Radiohead.

When this album came out, I don't think I listened to anything else for about a month. This is one of my Top 10 favorite albums. This song is good, but not quite as good as others on it.
Either way, thanks RP for playing something that you'd never hear on commercial radio
