    I listened to this a lot at the end of the 90's, along with Mercury Rev's 'Deserter's Songs'. The two albums just seem to go together so well (having David Fridmann involved in both is pretty obvious why). Two perfect albums. If you don't like either of these albums, and you consider yourself to be a music-lover, there's something wrong with you, quite clearly

      this little abomination crept its way to a New Hampshire used CD store and I didn't thoroughly look it over before picking it up, WHERE is the SPIDERBITE SONG?? .....I'm ready to commence WW3 over this

        This was a real highlight back in 1999. The millenium loomed, the most forward facing music by the back end of the
        90s was electric. After a promising start there wasn't much guitar-based music that was psychedelic, experimental, rough-edged, punk influenced. Did anyone mention drugs?
        This was the album they'd really threatened to make, but it also signalled a big change. Shows had a backing track and things had shifted, only really great songs and a vision carried them through. Emerging out of the carnage of Zaireeka and 5 years since Clouds Taste Metallic, this was peak Flaming Lips. For fans who had got on board earlier (Hit to Death in the Future Head for me) it was a different band, a day dawning after tripping all night. All ends have a beginning and this was theirs. (IMHO)

          My copy has a white circular sticker on the back that reads "PROMOTIONAL COPY ONLY NOT FOR RESALE". Does anyone else have this?

            I think this album is genius. This was the real turning point for their music. From here on out they were legends. And the only thing more legendary than their music are their phenomenal live performances.
