Free Music Notes for Clouds Taste Metallic
Free Music Review: The Loud Report
Hit: 5 Stars
Y'all can blow the Soft Bulletin out yer butts, this is all the orchestral grandeur from the Lips that you need. Real men prefer metallic. Stop smoking dope in your room, take your meds, and rip the Soft Bulletin off the changer posthaste: "Waiting For A Superman" is not worthy of your tears. This, however is worth blowing a speaker out to. Drozd is a genius, Wayne Coyne, not so much. You get "Christmas On Mars" when Coyne is in charge. You get hit to death in the future head when Drozd is unleashed, and this here album I'm reviewing is the perfect marriage between the two.Free Music Review: Just became a fan, but like their newer stuff better.

I just began my F.L's journey about a week ago when I purchased the "Yoshimi" (sp.?) album of which got me hooked. I than, a few days ago, decided to buy, through amazon, Clouds taste Metallic. I bought it because of the excellent reviews. I got it in the mail today and I have to say, although I only listened to it one time, I was a bit disappointed. Some of the songs are muffled and are not as "Yoshimi-ish" as I would have liked. You see, I like more laid back etherial Floyd like sound and this one just did not do it for me. I gave it 3 stars only because I have only listened to it once and realize it may grow on me. I can only hope. If someone knows of a more spacey Floyd-like F.L's album please let me know!!! Thanks!Free Music Review: Still my favorite Lips album

And it will be yours too. Steve's drum sounds on this album are just inredible. Crystal clear ringing cymbals and snappy snares. First spins sound like they made such huge leaps forward by the time Bulletin and Yoshimi came out, but closer inspection reveals that the Lips were in that whole strata way back then, too. Check out the back-to-back They Punctured My Yolk and Lightning Strikes the Postman for proof. Brainville & Kim's Watermelon Gun are other fun favorites...Free Music Review: The Lips At The Peak Of Their Psychedelic Power

Clouds Taste Metallic is the last record by the guitar driven version of the Flaming Lips. The reason for this is that Clouds is the last Lips album to be recorded with Ronald Jones (guitar) as a member of the band. Jones' ability to manipulate brilliant layers of feedback that somehow retain melodic texture is the perfect compliment to the psychedelic vision of Wayne Coyne. Add to this the blossoming musical genius of Steven Drozd and you come away with a psychedelic rock masterpiece of epic proportions. This is the Flaming Lips at their most mighty. You need to own this record.Free Music Review: Brilliant, unique, puzzling, etc.

This album certainly took me a long time to get into. I think it is easily the Flaming Lips' best work, with the Soft Bulletin coming in second place. I can hear something new literally every time I listen to it. The key here is the arranging done by the Lips. Take abrasive guitars, whiny vocals, and heavy-handed drumming, and somehow put it together to get a brilliant, beautiful, and completely unique sound. It seems like Beach Boys meets Brian Eno meets The Ramones. I don't know how to describe it. Like I said, it's completely unique. It's the Flaming Lips, and it's amazing. One of my all time top ten.
