Rating: 6.5 unexplained scars out of 10
The Flaming Lips seem intent to carpet the earth with weird EPs this year, and this is yet another one for the stacks. The Flaming Lips play a couple of tracks with the help of Lightning Bolt, and then Lightning Bolt sorta play renditions of those same songs with the help of the Flaming Lips. And the entire thing is a giant noise-fest of head-fuckery. This music sounds like it might easily have been found on one of their very first albums, back when their sound had a lot more in common with the Butthole Surfers than just living in the next state over. This is not "The Soft Bulletin". I'm not sure it's even on the same astral plane or in the same universe. You'll not be singing along to these songs. But fuck it, I'm digging it anyways...
