This is when I believe Josh Homme's songwriting finally began to click. It's a vast departure from his desert rock beginnings but it still has that hard-edged tinge to it.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002)
The Flaming Lips have evolved over the last score of years to become one of the quirkiest group of individuals, and this album is a summary work of everything they've accomplished, from psychedelia to space rock. Few records can live up to this work's genius.

Good call on both of these! I can't believe I didn't think of either one (although I might have gone for
Songs for the Deaf instead of
Rated R).
Also, even though presently I think a lot of people think
They Were Wrong, So We Drowned is the weakest Liars album, I bet in the future it will be recognized as the work of genius that it is.
