Farting Ships 'Catatonic' (2009)

I was not planning to hear this, but someone whose opinion I respect sent me a link, and I am pleasantly surprised (so far, about halfway through and no sign of Karen O yet =S).
First of all, too many people like the Flaming Lips, and it's not that i'm an elitist, it's just that if that many people enjoy something in this day and age there must be something wrong with it; and their last two albums were pretty horrible - happy clappy, churchy, annoying - like the Polyphonic Spree. Dinner party psychedelia. Anti-Bush lyrics are all very well, but I am one of those twats who thinks 'Hit to Death in the Future Head' is twice the album 'Yoshimi' is.

'Embryonic' takes the rich sonic palette they have developed making their Disney albums and applies it to a self-indulgent psychedelic mess, just like the old stuff. The best pop U-turn in recent memory, I give the first half of this album a gold star. And given how I felt about Jesus Coyne until an hour ago that is quite significant

thank god someone agrees with me. i mean, it's one thing to abandon the pop sheen to their songs, it's another to abandon songwriting altogether. i couldn't make it past track five without wondering when the hell the next song was coming on.

i don't know whose head is up critics asses but i'll be the first to proffer my disappointment at not hearing a single memorable track on the entire album. definite candidate for the 'lose' column, sorry Wayne.

Well diff'nt st'kes etcetera, I dug this one, but it would be interesting to see if your view is shared by the majority of FL listeners.
Someone somewhere on the internets compared the Lips' live show to psychedelic 'experiences' of the late 60s (a la Pink Floyd et al @ UFO Club), less of a gig and more of a trip, i think the material on this album would complement that perfectly. True, you can't tell where one song ends and the next begins, but as you pointed out it's not song-oriented... just like, say, Tago Mago. It's borderline Grateful Dead really, just more accessible and with that FL sparkle

well that just goes to show how good of a reader i am.

i just found the album an unimaginably dull collection of blips and beeps, not much to speak of from a cohesive point of view or even those whatcha-call-ems, erm...songs. it wasn't like i couldn't see where one track ended and the other began, i just couldn't find a spot in between to nod my head to. oh well.

Ever since I first saw this album in the late 80s I have been fascinated by it wondering if it could possibly be as bad as the cover suggests.

20 or so years on I am finally about to find out.
