Scenesters' chronic overrating of The Soft Bulletin stunted my interest in the Flaming Lips for decades - its whiny half-underground sound was a warning sign on the band's entire early era.
Incorrectly! Their menacing, sheetmetal post-punk debut is fascinating, serving up its own simmering weirdness, plus a glimpse at seeds before rotten fruit. It's not *great*, stirring the same pots for too long, but it'll give you a jagged little dose of hypnosis. Essential for anyone remotely interested in the Lips' 30 year (!) career 3/5
