kudos to beckwin for uploading this

Doesn't it sound exactly like their older albums?

[Shiroikage]

How would that be a bad thing?

[mootsfox]

Show me where I said it was a bad thing. I had no opinion on the matter thank you very much.

[Conformity]

they are also awesome in concert

[Milton]

it doesn't sound like their older albums at all. i think it's very different. not in a bad way.

[Howard Roark]

it still sounds like the flaming lips but I wouldn't say it's the same, it's hard to explain

there's something signature about it in the style of distortion and sounds they use but this almost has a classic rock feel to it underneath the psychedelic

I can tell this album is going to get a lot of play for me



stuff I've played the shit out of this year:
the fountain soundtrack
hot chip
girl talk - feed the animals web album
mogwai - the hawk is howling, travel is dangerous ep and subsequently the rest of their catalogue all over again

[Conformity]

Try some lil wayne on the track

[Howard Roark]

I don't always know how to describe music properly but this album seems a bit more organic[?] than say the soft bulletin and not so squealy as yoshimi..

I'm admittedly less familiar with their 2006 release, the last few years have been a lot of me not using my CD's so much


case in point: I took a mogwai ep out of the plastic last weekend while studying, I bought it.. a year ago?

I have about 10 bands that I collect anything and everything album, ep, soundtrack, boxset, side project, remixes etc (bjork and radiohead are on these lists but both have an inordinant amount of singles and remixes, so I limit it to albums, soundtracks and boxsets for them)

[mootsfox]

It's not really a band I ever went out of my way to find or listen too. My only experience with them is the radio, and I'm assuming they are playing the new stuff since the album came out.

[Howard Roark]

download the Soft Bulletin

that is all, change your mind after that if ever

[mootsfox]

Any songs I should look out for?

I like the Yoshimi song cause of the videos

[Howard Roark]

1. "Race for the Prize" (Mokran Remix) – 4:09
2. "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton" – 3:32
3. "The Spark That Bled" ("The Softest Bullet Ever Shot") – 5:55
4. "The Spiderbite Song" – 4:02
5. "Buggin'" (Mokran Remix) – 3:16
6. "What Is the Light?" ("An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting That the Chemical (In Our Brains) by Which We Are Able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love Is the Same Chemical That Caused the "Big Bang" That Was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe") – 4:05
7. "The Observer" – 4:11
8. "Waitin' for a Superman" ("Is It Gettin' Heavy?") – 4:17
9. "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" ("Death Anxiety Caused by Moments of Boredom") – 3:54
10. "The Gash" ("Battle Hymn for the Wounded Mathematician") – 4:02
11. "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" – 5:17
12. "Sleeping on the Roof" (excerpt from "Should We Keep the Severed Head Awake??") – 3:09
13. "Race for the Prize" ("Sacrifice of the New Scientists") – 4:18
14. "Waitin' for a Superman" (Mokran Remix) – 4:19

13 and 14 are reprises that sound slightly different, the bolded tracks are desert island songs (if you could only take x number of CD's etc)

I also require flaming lips' best songs to see if I will like them.

[Blarg]

way to make me look stupid by posting a second before me, howie

[Howard Roark]

I haven't seen that many amazing songs on an album since the Smashing Pumpkins' double and Yo La Tengo's "And Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out"

[Blarg]

what is this yo la tenga and turned inside out business?

[Howard Roark]

I also require flaming lips' best songs to see if I will like them.

there's so many other good songs, including a 4 disc concept album meant to be played on 4 CD players simultaneously, but this album is such an easy sell it's practically cheating

[Howard Roark]

what is this yo la tenga and turned inside out business?
