Clouds Taste Metallic is still on my to-listen to list since Brennan recommended it a while back. In other news, this is still pretty awesome, if old at this point.

It was a simpler time of fuzz and fun, and I can't stand their overblown, pretentious work like Yoshimi and the Soft Bulletin-- it feels like a knife in the back. Start with Hit to Death in the Future Head and then work your day to Clouds Taste Metallic, it is is a lot of fun to watch the band mature. From dark psychedelia to innocent pastels, the Lips provide a good time.

The first two tracks are great and then most of the rest of the album is bad, and when merciful, boring. And the decision to double up two songs at the end of the album is extremely annoying, especially when they had the gall to not even market them as bonus tracks.

I'm glad you seem to agree, go deeper into their catalog.

Vwls Sck!! Posts: 1,073 Group: Members Member #31 Joined: June 29, 2006 Last.fm: Kick2theOvaries	Speaking of listening to properly. I'm thinking of investing into a high quality pair of studio headphones. Not only do I need them for listening, but recording also. (I just finished arranging a 6th song, pretty soon I'll start recording all these pieces as an album.. half of it is in the style of Agalloch somewhat, and the others are more jazzy!)(offtopic)

how can it FEEL this WRONG?? Posts: 1,685 Group: Members Member #785 Joined: August 12, 2008 Gender: Male Name: Dante!!! Location: Pennsylvania Last.fm: softshock	I am not a fan of much of of what I heard by The Flaming Lips, but I think everyone should listen to Embryonic because it's pretty damn awesome. I only listened 2 times so I'm still getting familiar with it, but it has potential to be one of my favorites of 2009.

I've been avoiding it because I wasn't expecting much, but maybe I'll give it a listen. Or do you just like it because Karen O is on it?

So no. The tracks tend to blend together a lot in my mind but I think that's because I've only listened to it twice, but I liked it enough to want to listen more.

Dinkin' flicka. Posts: 1,950 Group: Staff Member #2 Joined: June 28, 2006 Gender: Male Name: Morgan Location: Sarasota, FL Last.fm: rockon1824	For some reason I don't like Clouds Taste Metallic nearly as much as I should. I mean quirky noise rock with catchy melodies? That should be right up my alley. But I'm pretty indifferent towards it for whatever reason.

Location: Pennsylvania Last.fm: softshock	Well, I'm not too cynical and cold for Clouds Taste Metallic, I rather like it!! Also, Yoshimi has grown on me a lot, and Embryonic is still one of my favorites of 2009. It probably should have made my decade list too but I've decided I'm done fidgeting with that.

The Soft Bulletin is really damn great and will inevitably overtake Embryonic as my favorite Lips album soon. After a few listens, I like Transmissions From the Satellite Heart as well. I'm probably going to listen to everything they've done by the time I'm done.
