![]() ![]() But I do remember seeing The Flaming Lips at Riot Fest just as my edibles kicked in and seeing the light show and Wayne Coyne crowdsurfing in a giant buble, I felt like I finally got it for a few minutes. ![]() I despise “drug culture.” Just give me a few gummies and let me jam out to an Against Me! record any day. I actually love marijuana, I do live in Colorado, but I can’t see the appeal of the kind of music that’s designed to go well with marijuana. I once got my best friend to dump a guy because he had a Phish poster on his wall. Normally I shy away from anything that’s described as psychedelic music. I wanted to give this album a try because, well, Apple Music suggested it to me, and The Flaming Lips did put out that great Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots album in 2003, and that awesome “She Don’t Use Jelly” song in the 90’s, but apparently in the years since then they’ve managed to slide farther and farther into the realm of psychedelia. And, to be fair, I can see how this album could be of interest to some people, but definitely not me. But, while I found it unenjoyable, someone did tell me recently that my opinions can be a bit extreme sometimes and I might want to consider other points of view sometimes. I write this review just as I have just finished listening to American Head for the first time whilst reading the lyrics along with the music, and after doing so I do not want to do so again so I want to get this out while this album is still fresh in my memory.
