| js5280 (Denver, CO) | Posted: Aug 26, 2006 - 21:05 I think my brain is skipping. Can someone nudge the arm please? Maybe it's just the last set. The Flaming Lips - It Overtakes Me Soft Hearted Scientists - Diving Bell Of Montreal - Wraith Pinned To The Mist & O... Shivaree - I Close My Eyes |
| DrGonzo | Posted: Jul 28, 2006 - 14:43 wow.. as much as i loved Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and Soft Bulletin, I quite dislike this song... perhaps it's one of the ones on this cd that I've heard is 'not so great'... but the rest is supposed to be pretty sweet. *shrug* |

What the!? Ok, now the 2nd part sounds nothing at all like the same song, and is quite nice. Quite moody and (dare I say) ethereal. If the song was only this last portion, I'd like to hear it again...otherwise, I can't get past that first part. |
| mildersoap | Posted: Jul 28, 2006 - 14:43 the second half is what makes it. |

:( Too bad negative 10 isn't an option! |
| kilroyjoe3 (New York City) | Posted: Jul 28, 2006 - 14:40 I'm overtaken. I'll log back on later when I've recovered.  |
| AlienRelic (Lost in a lost world) | Posted: Jul 28, 2006 - 14:39 The first time I heard this, I gave it a 1. It's now a 7. I guess it overtook me. |
| monkeywonders | Posted: Jul 28, 2006 - 14:39 This really is bad  :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: |
| Xeric (Various Strata) | Posted: Jul 05, 2006 - 19:16 Just when you think it's as bad as it could possibly be, the Chipmunks join in. . . . |

| DrLex (Belgium) | Posted: Jun 29, 2006 - 06:48 The first few minutes are pure aural terror, but the end is quite bearable. |

I bought it after RP had already made me a believer in the "Yoshimi" album and rushed out to buy "Mystics" the day it came out. After giving it one full listen I thought I just bought my latest drink coaster...then I figured I'd give it another shot. Hmm, some of the songs were cool that time. By listen 5 or so I was fully into it and I like it more than "Yoshimi" now. Go figure! I can easily see that one song plucked out of the rest doesn't really stand on it's own though. If your fealing brave...go buy it and listen multiple times. |

| jcttune (New Mexico) | Posted: May 24, 2006 - 09:59 Thank you RP for Lips! What a remarkable release from one of this country's best bands. |
| tony620d (an office) | Posted: May 24, 2006 - 09:56 where is the 'never play this song again' link? |

I had the same reaction, but hey, on second listen... ...nope, nothing has changed. |
| formersnowbug (attached at the hip) | Posted: May 24, 2006 - 09:49 Hey, I think this song is called "It Overtakes Me." Oh look, I was right. |
| Mari (www.broomecam.com) | Posted: May 22, 2006 - 23:09 ... It Overtakes Me! ...  ... |
| Duluoz (Houston, TX) | Posted: May 20, 2006 - 16:52 Belongs in a Hitchcock movie. I like it! Do you think Les Baxter would be doing this kind of music today if he were still around? |
| Pyro | Posted: May 16, 2006 - 11:19 Did Porcupine Tree listen to Flaming Lips? |
| tony620d (an office) | Posted: May 16, 2006 - 11:18 hate it. one big repeating loop. |
| pigglywiggly (mid-America) | Posted: May 16, 2006 - 11:17 This is a seriously mood-dependent song. It has annoyed me in the past, but today, I'm kind of bopping to it. "it wakes and bakes me" .....ahhhhh, those were the days |
| nick_valensi (Charlotte, NC) | Posted: May 16, 2006 - 11:15 nice bass work. Lovin' it. |
| tg3k (The Jungle - 459.62 miles south of Paradise, CA) | Posted: May 12, 2006 - 11:32 There are some Flaming Lips songs I like. This sure isn't one of them. What were they thinking? Edited to add... The suckageness of the first half of this song gets stronger with time. Down from a 3 to a 1. The second half is like something from Sigur Rios...not unpleasant as the first half, but nothing that'd make me rush out and buy the album. |
| Dave_Mack (Saratoga, CA) | Posted: May 12, 2006 - 11:20 This song doesn't do much for me (especially that line "it master-slaves me"), but I much prefer the silly Lips to the serious Lips (see "Do You Realize"). |
| edgemyster | Posted: May 12, 2006 - 11:19 please - never play that song again. i beg of you. |

| GChevy410 (Seattle, WA) | Posted: May 12, 2006 - 11:18 I Cant wait until Sasquatch. I am sure its going to rock. I think we found a place down the road where there are no rules against drinking, fires, and "what not". |
| ThePoose | Posted: May 12, 2006 - 11:18 The Lips have been playing Uncle Frank (Zappa) lately. |
