Hmmm, so here we have the new double album from The Flaming Lips Embryonic. It's difficult to fully put into words my thoughts. The album teeters between absolutely stellar and head sratching. In straddles the line of psychedelia tipping either way between hip and cool, to strange and annoying. The drumming is, however, a constant plus the entire way through. Difficult and interesting this is not for first time Lips fans. It's a good album, not their greatest. Given time there are plenty of fantastic moments in this. However no amount of time can make me appreciate Karen O's noises in "I Can Be a Frog".
7.3/10.0
