    3 years on and I'm still endlessly playing this Album. How these guys make pain, loss and death sound so so beautiful is simply amazing. Not just my favourite Lips album but one of my favourite albums of all time, and I am lucky enough to of started my musical journey with the beetles.
    A magical, beautiful album

    How rare it is to have a connected album from start to finish these days - when albums were your friends and you'd spend the night on the floor with them, the vinyl, and a sleeve of liner notes.

    This album reminds me why I fell in love with The Flaming Lips in the first place when I first heard The Soft Bulletin. The combination of sadness and euphoria communicated through psychedelic rock is something they do incredibly well. This late in the band's career, this is one of their best albums.

    Discovered this by accident. The marketing for this album is criminal. I had no idea it even existed. Didn't see it anywhere. It's a shame the promotion is just not happening because this is beautiful. It reminds me of that Post-Yoshimi era that I need in my life. I love you guys. I saw you in concern in Raleigh, NC a couple years ago. I still have the sweater.

    Sigh. An adorable album. What a bunch of songwriters, romantics and evergreen cotton brainers! I looove it! Beatlesque and very psychedelic, beautiful melodies all over. I thought AIR were the first with this retro style...but the flaming lips are, in reality, as it seems! Were a nice band and still are. Sounds as George Harrison played the gutitar, wow! How can someone dislike...its great! 😂😉🤩😎✊🤷‍♂️💁‍♂️🙆‍♂️

    I first learned about Flaming Lips when I saw them open up for Lush, spring '92, at the Palace in L.A. I was right in front of Wayne, and I remember that he used a toy lazer gun as an instrument, and that a lot of the songs were fun and catchy, but they didn't really cling on to me. And I wasn't exactly a fan of that tangerine song.
    However, about 12 years ago, I went recording shopping with a new friend. He agreed to buy Felt if I bought Soft Bulletin, and I have been impressed by Flaming Lips ever since. I think they are ridiculously talented; just their cover of the first Stone Roses album is jaw-droppingly impressive. But all the records that they have been releasing on Bella Union are breathtaking creative, not just because of their musicianship, but that after so many years of recording music, Flaming Lips does not seem to run out of ideas. They do not repeat themselves, or rely on comfortable musical crutches. They innovate and innovate and innovate. Flaming Lips has my respect and admiration and much more.

    The free Flaming Lips show on the riverfront in downtown Portland was hands down the best show I’ve ever been to. This album rekindled that feeling again. A close friend is moving to Norman, Oklahoma and I’m kinda jealous he’ll be in the vicinity of The Womb.
