The test begins now
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
So it came time to fight, I thought Ill just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool.
I love and appreciate this album as the album that helped me fully appreciate mellow music. Perhaps the box art threw me off, featuring bright colors, giant pink robots and copious Japanese writing, both on the album cover and the disc itself.The track titles also led me astray in their sheer strangeness: 'Ego Tripping At the Gates of Hell', 'Throbbing Orange Pallbearers', 'In The Morning of the Magicians'.The music was a giant step sideways from my expectations - mellow, highly melodic and often dreamy and even slightly psychedelic - kind of a funkier, even lower-key Radiohead.After a couple more listens, I began to appreciate this record as the musical equivalent of a nice bowl of tapioca (whipped cream and maraschino cherry optional) it ain't steak, but it's got a peculiarly substantial feel of its own.Dozens of listens later I fully resonate with this album. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips on Apple.Upon picking up this most recent record by the experimental sonic, former- noiserock group The Flaming Lips, I was expecting wackiness to the tune of The Aquabats. The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize. DO YOU REALIZE Chords - The Flaming Lips E-Chords.
The vocals are mixed very low to the music in most songs, making this record ideal for active listening or background music. Wayne Coyne has no great reputation as a lyricist, but the lyrics here somehow keep the ambitious music grounded.Coyne's voice is oddly complimentary to the mood of the music he sings with a genuine earnestness that gives the lyrics more weight than they would otherwise have. The lyrics are innocent, heartfelt and simple. There's a lot that's hard to put my finger on about this release with 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots', the focus is not on your eventual destination, but the journey. The songs are all completely cohesive - the album has an ebb and flow all its own, perfectly contrasting the floaty and the harsh, the far-off and the immediate.The album's lyrics are both mostly-uncreative and perfect. This is an album from the school of slow melodies with fast beats, and it shows.
This track shifts the album's theme perfectly - songwriting like this doesn't come along very often.Don't let the psycho title catch you off guard - this song is another ideosyncratic mix of funky and soulful rock - definitely not hellish. This is a song which rewards the patient, with a beautiful slow-moving theme. A catchy, soft little heartfelt number, 'In the Morning of the Magicians' settles the track into the rest of the album's themes: death, lost love and regret. The sound effects will have people reaching for the volume control, but this album gets easier on the ears from here on out, so grin and bear it.This is more like it.
My only complaint is the sharp drop in lyrical quality on this track.Just when you thought the album couldn't get any mellower, a newer, mellower mellow comes in, beats the old mellow to a pulp, and takes its place. The band has repeatedly stressed their importance) fortunately gets better.It's actually a fairly motivational song with a good message: You should let your loved ones know that you care about them before they die in some horrific manner and it grows too late. Forget this Fantomas stuff!Despite opening up with the dopiest count of 'one, two, three, four!' that has ever been recorded, 'Do You Realize?' (Always remember the TWO question marks. If these guys came out with an ambient music easy-sleeping album, I'd rush right out and get it. I could listen to that main groove all day. This whole ALBUM is relaxing! I swear - I could fall asleep with this record playing! I'm going to have to go out and buy it, instead of just checking it out from the library like some kind of cheap punk.It's Summertime (Throbbing Orange Pallbearers):This song features a crazy, wah-wah sound effect for some of the instrumentation.
The guitars have quite a bit more of an edge, and this is one of the few instrumentals I'll chicken-bob my head too. I love the guitar transition sounds.Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia):The second instrumental of the record, this song is a little funkier than the preceding five or so tracks. The philosophical lyrics are almost unintelligible in the mix - that is, if you aren't already half-comatose from having your brain mindfreaked right out of your head by this absurdly-peaceful album.
