Okay this leaked out now, so I'm sure some of us are probably getting it as we speak. Right now the word on it seems split from 'the death of the Flaming Lips' to 'pretty enjoyable.' I'm listening to it now and I think that it's just okay, gotta give it another listen though.

I can't wait to hear this.

It shall be hard to be better than Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.


Anyway, I am excited and is there a street date?

It'll be out April 4th. I thought their single for the album called The WAND is one of the worst tracks they have recorded, but it grew on me.

The first two tracks set the mood for the rest of the album, and if you don't like those you'll probably hate the album.

Is Mr Ambulance Driver on the album? I can't say I was too impressed with that song.

Yeah, it's on there but it's a new version.

I like the cover art

Listening to this again, it is pretty Okay. I like the first two tracks a lot, but it's hit and miss throughout.

Also, check your PMs Sigur.

The Flaming Lips always had great album covers... i saw them live back in 03 as an opener to the Chili Peppers, and became a huge fan ever since. I’m totally buying this album.

I hope it sucks so that I can use the line 'AT WAR WITH GOOD SONGWRITING'.

I really like the cd after first listen and usually cds take a few listens for me to thoroughly enjoy.

Mr Ambulance Driver is quite good.

Thanks to someguy for the link.

Haven't heard the whole thing. The ones that I like the most are Vein Of Stars and My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion.

Hopefully these guys and the Chili Peppers will tour again this year. That would be sick.
