He could surmise that if youre in this reasonably hard, plastic, circular environment, itll be strangely reflective. Thats how (producer) Dave Fridmanns mind works. Im on the side of mysteries but we dont want that mysticism to be a veil for the truth.ĭid you really record songs inside your bubble? If he says, "I woke up and God told me to go to war in Iraq, they go, "Okay and we go to war. When it pertains to George Bush, I think he has a gullible following here in America that doesnt question his ideology and his mysticism leads him everywhere he goes. What does At War With the Mystics refer to? That said, when I sing, "You think youre radical/youre really fanatical, I can see that being pointed at both a suicide bomber and at myself. But we sing songs about stopping the war because theyre fun to sing and they let you release a certain anxiety or frustration, like all art does.

In a bleak period, the Flaming Lips have responded with a raw, emotional record that gets deeper with each listen.Ĭoyne: I have no illusions that were gonna stop a war or change Bushs mind by making radical rock music thats never gonna happen. Listen to Vein of Stars MP3 Song by The Flaming Lips from the album At War with the Mystics free online on Gaana. "Free Radicals) that gives the record its astonishing dynamic. Maybe there isn't a vein of stars calling out my name No glow from above our heads Nothing there to see you down on your knees, umm hmm Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven (twenty years in the future) Off in the future maybe there ain't no heaven It's just you and me and maybe it's just as well And if there ain't no heaven maybe there ain't. For all the Sabbath-y riffs of "The W.A.N.D. or "My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion, theres something majestic about the prog/funk of "The Wizard Turns On, and "Vein of Stars. While "Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung is significant for Steven Drozds premiere as a lead vocalist, its Coynes experimentation with different voices (i.e. Coyne takes aim at an empty pop culture landscape on the soaring "The Sound of Failure/Its Dark Is it Always this Dark? and taps into the restlessness of youth on the brilliant "It Overtakes Me/The Stars Are So Big, I Am So Small⁝o I Stand a Chance? Beyond its overt socio-political commentary, the record also has a fantastical sound. Wayne Coynes writing is abstract but theres something meatier and uniquely American about "Yeah Yeah Yeah Song and "Havent Got a Clue, which practically knock on the White Houses front door. Like musical Martians observing us with great concern, they convey all the frustration and optimism they can muster on At War With the Mystics.
However, most of the time I remember why I thought they sucked and bury them again.With the world unraveling bit by bit, the Flaming Lips needed to make a record as fascinatingly outspoken as this. Every now and then, a cd that I thought was a stinker ends up being a gem I wasn't able to appreciate properly at the time of purchase.
I have it buried in my stack of cds to pull out on some random day far in the future to give another listen. While I didn't "frisbee it out the window of my car" after the first listen, I was very disappointed. I didn't even make it through the whole "album", I frisbeed it out the window of my car after about 20 minutes of sheer unbelief. The Flaming Lips are an American psychedelic rock band formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.The band currently consists of Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Steven Drozd (guitars, keyboards, bass, vocals), Derek Brown (keyboards, guitars, percussion), Matt Duckworth Kirksey (drums, percussion, keyboards) and Nicholas Ley (percussion, drums). Their latest is the most incoherent piece of shit ever. If Wayne was in this room right now I would never stop cockpunching him. I have taken a lot of razzing over the years for liking these guys (I have no problem with that). I really love Yoshimi and AWWTM but the new one sounds like they passed out while the tape was rolling and they released the part right after they all woke up with giant hangovers and pissed and got a big drink of water. Is it just me or does their last album just suck beyond imagining?
