The Best Seven Album By The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips 12th album, Embryonic, is set to come out sometime this year. With that in mind, here's a look back at the best seven Lips albums to date. They are ordered by time not by greatness!
In a Priest Driven Ambulance (1990) - For some Lips fans this is still their greatest album. While I personally don't personally have that belief, you are a noise rock fanatic then you may have that opinion too. If you are new to the band and have been brought into the fold by some of their more recent albums then you may find this one a bit difficult to listen to at first, but I recommend giving it at least a few spins to give it a fair shot because there's some great songs on this album.
Hit to Death in the Future Head (1992) - I think Hit to Death... is an underrated Lips album that deserves far more praise than it gets. I hear a big advance from Priest... to Hit to Death... as far as sonic experimentation and psychedelia.
Transmission from the Satellite Heart (1993) - This is probably the Lips most overrated album because it has their most overrated song, "She Don't Use Jelly," on it. It's still a great album though because a lot of the other songs are very good.
Clouds Taste Metallic (1995) - I think this is the album that works as sort of the encapsulation of the best of the previous three albums. If you are wanting to start digging into the Lips back catalog after first being introduced to the band with their more recent work, this is probably the album to start with.
Zaireeka (1997) - This album is actually four albums that you play at once. You read that correctly. It's really too much to describe here. If you are someone interested in experimental music and experiencing music (rather than merely listening to it) then I definitely suggest you look into this release further.
The Soft Bulletin (1999) - My favorite Lips album to date. It's just about as perfect as psychedelic pop rock music can get. It's experimental yet classic at the same time.
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002) - This was an exciting new direction in 2002. Sadly I think the Lips overplayed this hand with 2006's At War with the Mystics which is, in my opinion, the worst Lips album since the "bad old days" of the 1980s. - 23806
