Anyway, massively looking forward to this, if the new stuff is anything to go by, which I'm sure it is. They're going to be the next decade's Hefner, but hopefully a bit bigger.

Really looking forward to the new one, could be their best yet, given what new stuff I've heard so far.

If she feels this way, she could leave the label without TOO much of a fuss, for the same reasons, rather than slagging off Big Dada, which just seems really fucking petty.

Merci!

...only other than to upload stuff to embed it onto our pages. Should investigate a bit more...

...it's not an attempt to make it sound all scuzzed up, but the sound quality and clarity isn't particularly great throughout, which is fine 'cos it doesn't really matter when you've got tunes like they do.

...but had a re-release this year. I think.

...if anyone was wondering...

And it's actually encoded in the text for this article, but not appearing on the page, which is fairly baffling...

It's shocking value for money. I mean, what the fuck are you actually paying for? A limited edition APPLE shaped USB stick, great!

.

Leading so far, I think.

Half-tempted to leave it in, tbh.

You just won't get to see them!

YES!

...have to be two of the worst album covers of all time.

...an album of 13 songs with 4-5 amazing songs and little else is given the same mark as something which is just the right side of average-good throughout. Problem is people seem to take the score more seriously than the words which is perhaps a little silly when there's been 750 of them written.

You, sir, are completely off your rocker.

Anyway, the issue at hand. I quite like this and think it's a bit of a grower. But it's just missing something which the first album had. I like some of the changes in direction, though, and the production is pretty much spot on. I think they've both gained something and lost something, but it's not a million miles off Waited Up.

but it's not particularly important...

As I wrote. Second album PROPER.

I CAN'T COUNT.

Cos I sent them a Tweet the other day asking them to cover She Wolf.

Really love the venue, too.

I do actually have a spare one back at my parents house.

...so decided to keep it in.

...inconsistent. And it eats memory. I like the sleekness of it all, though. But yeah, the Flaming Lips have always been one of those passing bands for me. Sure there's some stuff I'd like here, some maybe less so...

It also forces the reviewer's hand somewhat but to give this 5/10 was a fair result, I think.

Some great and classic tunes on that there list.

And it irked me because it's not really a valid criticism.

Apologies. Fixed.

A little bit?

...

...does it bother you?

Cos this one is the official one on their YouTube channel.
