Psssh, Yoshimi > Embryonic > Soft Bulletin > Mystics/DSOTM >... well, okay, none of this really maters, the point is Yoshimi is the best. I get this horrible feeling when I rank them that I'm saying some of them aren't good, but they ALL are...

Also, Flaming Lips' DSOTM > Pink Floyd's DSOTM

Ugh...too hard to rate them all, they're all so amazing. All I know is that The Soft Bulletin is #1 and Embryonic is #2.

your both wrong, it goes like this:

The Soft Bulletin > Oh My Gawd > Priest Driven Ambulance > Embryonic > Yoshimi > Satellite Heart > Hear it is > At War with the Mystics > Flaming lips (their first E.P.) > Telepathic Surgery > Clouds Taste Metallic > Hit to Death > Christmas on Mars Soundtrack > Dark Side of the Moon

I don't understand how you could like one and not the other. Yoshimi is just a slightly poppier more approachable version of Bulletin, which is the far superior album.

I would rather listen to Yoshimi than Soft Bulletin. I don't know why. The Soft Bulletin just doesn't do much for me. I've tried.

Also, At War with he Mystics is a good album. Probably my second favorite Lips album.

Well, I find it a little hard to judge because of my nostalgic sentiments towards it, but overall I still think it's pretty great - although the Flaming Lips have had a pretty freakin excellent discography in general, so, yeah.

Most of my feelings towards the Flaming Lips' albums don't really seem to synch up with many of their other fans. I mean, I've heard a LOT of backlash against their covers of Dark Side album, but I thought it was fantastic, even possibly one of my favourite albums from 2009.

I dunno I think it's really underrated in their discography and thought you might like it. Especially as you mentioned the sillyness

Hmm... well, Mystics was my first Lips album, heard it back when it came out and some hippy kid I knew kept listening to it on repeat. AT THE TIME I thought it was, like, the greatest thing ever, but now that years have past and I am grown and matured and have perspective, I don't find it quite as up to par as some of their other albums.

Why?

It's the silliness. The silliness is what makes Yoshimi so great - even better than Bulletin, I'd say (which is still REALLY great).

It isn't obnoxiously silly, but more joyously silly - it gets the perfect silly ratio.

I had discounted the Lips completely because the only song of theirs I'd heard prior was a ridiculous piece of garbage. But I certainly missed out because of the preconception.

I've only given The Soft Bulletin one or two listens, but it didn't impress me. It's on my list of albums to give another shot to, though.

On one listen?? Wow, it took me more than five to have an opinion of it. Now I love it! "In the Morning of the Magicians" is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.

Good but not as good as their other albums.
