Heady Nuggs: 20 Years After "Clouds Taste Metallic" 1994-1997
“Clouds Taste Metallic, newly reissued in a 3xCD set, is the last album where the Flaming Lips just sounded like some oddballs from Oklahoma. It stands as the peak moment in a fantastic four-album run that began with 1990’s In a Priest Driven Ambulance.”
American Head
“For anyone who's gone on their own quarantine-induced walk down memory lane this year”
Embryonic
“In a shocking turn, the Flaming Lips offer their most audacious undertaking since Zaireeka, an unrelentingly paranoid, static-soaked acid-rock epic.”
American Head
“American Head finds The Flaming Lips rejuvenated”
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
“I think it's safe to say that the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne is a genius, equal parts Thomas Edison and P.T. Barnum. Like Edison, Coyne is a relentless tinkerer, a visionary experimenteur with a sci-fi fetish and a soft spot for odd technologies. And like Barnum, Coyne is a consummate showman-- the hand puppets, the boombox orchestras, the oddball short films, the radio-controlled headphones. In 19”
The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends
“This Record Store Day round-up of collaborations conducted over the past year features a cast that includes Ke$ha, Chris Martin, Nick Cave, Yoko Ono, Bon Iver, Neon Indian, and Lightning Bolt, among others. Amazingly, it hangs together well as a front-to-back album.”
