Take Another Listen: Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots


www.flaminglips.com/main.php


I know this was released 2002, but I am listening to this album on heavy rotation. Every single song is amazing, and the whole album in it's entirety tells a wonderful story.

It is a amazing mix of lyrics about staying strong and being unique, melodies with a minor electronic overtone, and good use of guitar riffs. It works well if you want something mellow, or something for a dinner party. There is nothing like music where you put it on and people ask - who is that?

Most have heard the song "Do you realize?", but is well worth listening to the rest. Enjoy!

I've been having a soft bulletin (thief album one or two before this one) binge lately. The flaming lips are awesome and from my home state!
