A Career Overview Of The Flaming Lips
With the upcoming release of The Flaming Lips 12th studio album, Embryonic, it seems like a good time for a career overview of the best albums the Lips have released to date. What follows is the seven best Flaming Lips albums (in my opinion) in chronological order. These are the seven Flaming Lips albums I recommend you go out and buy right now if you don't already have them.
In a Priest Driven Ambulance (1990) - This album took what The Lips were doing in the 1980s and to the next level. In my opinion it's their first good album (I know some old school Lips fans love their '80s stuff, but not me.)
Hit to Death in the Future Head (1992) - This may be The Lips most underrated album. It's got a lot of real gems on it. To me this was the Lips moving away from noise just to be making noise and towards something more experimental and interesting.
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) - When this came out it was an entirely new direction for the band and it still stands apart from the rest of their best albums. It's great, but you shouldn't let it be the only album by The Flaming Lips that you really check out. - 18424
