Yes. Great album. The dogs barking at the end of "The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now" was a particular highlight.

YES. man it's been a while since I've listened to that album. It's kind of an effort to get it all set up but when you do it's so incredibly worth it.

I love pretty much everything I've heard up until Clouds, although admittedly that's only 4 albums, because I don't really know the pre-Priest albums at all. Transmissions just happens to be my favourite.

I just can't get over how weird this record is. Are they still on a major label? Anyway, I dunno if anyone else has made this connection, but some of the tracks have something of a Can vibe to 'em.
Dave Fridmann is an amazing producer, isn't he? Check out Zazen Boys - 4 sometime, he did an amazing job on that album. |

I'm listening to it now, and shit, it's good. Now this is a lot more interesting than everything else I've heard by them.
I'm gonna try Transmissions later! |

i thought i'd never buy another Lips album again until i read all the reviews of this saying how wierd it was and how it didn't have any catchy pop hooks.
The reviews have all been pretty bad in the uk music magazine press. Which is usually a really good sign |

I'll admit that upon first listen, I felt the same way. "There's no fucking songs!" But, after some spins, the whole fucking thing is one gigantic song, hahaha....I dunno. There is much merit to having a whole lotta fragments, and working on them, making it into a 70min "piece" if you will......I think it's brilliant. There ARE some great melodies in there, but they just sort of surface here and there, as opposed to being the Big Thing that makes the album work. I dunno if that makes sense at all......Love this album!

No doubt, only given it one proper listen and a couple of background ones, and already blows AWWTM out of the water. At this stage it seems to build a hell of a lot of tension and but with no big pay off - kinda leaves you hangin... which is probably exactly what they were goin for those crazy lips.

Forgive my laziness, but is there a track listing for the double vinyl? I'm eager to see how the 4 sides are divied up. This album fucking blows me away. But y'all heard that 10x already.

I love you. After a few more spins, I'm gonna try a proper review, instead of just gushing "OMFG i l0ve this s00 much lulz!!111." Thank you for your patience and understanding. I haven't been this excited about an album in a long time.
