I haven't seen them live yet, but I reeeeally want to. The main problem with Mystics, to me, is that all of the songs on it, even the good ones, have something about them which just annoy me. The loudness wars production doesn't help (although I can get over that, Embryonic is the same way) and it's not sequenced very well. Some of the songs are good, but I don't find a single track on there that I would call a masterpiece, and I can't say that about any other Flaming Lips album, starting with Priest-Driven Ambulance.
