Unlike, for example, some of the prog-rock bands of the ‘70s , whose big themes often got lost in dense mysticism, The Flaming Lips remain down-to-earth.Leading up to the record, the Lips conducted what are now referred to as the "boombox experiments" and "parking lot experiments." As the now well-documented lore says, the band had its fans gather in a parking lot, handed out cassette tapes of music composed by the group, and instructed people to play them in their cars stereos at the same time, creating a thick cacophony of sounds and music. It also didn't sound like most of the music out there at the time.Album Review: The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin The wonderful thing about The Flaming Lips is their ability to be profound without sounding pretentious. It didn't sound much like the band's previous work, which had always towed that line between noisy psych-rock, prog and some poppier alternative rock of the '90s. So when The Flaming Lips released The Soft Bulletin in 1999 (May 17 in UK, June 22 in US), it was a total surprise. Read and write album reviews for The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips on AllMusic AllMusic. To satisfy this demand Scott.
Disguised under celebratory choruses, catchy melodies, lush harmonies and Wayne Coyne's typical oddball lyrics, was this darker, much more introspective and existential outlook. With songs like "What Is The Light?" and "The Gash," it was an epic album start to finish.But it was also their most personal. The Soft Bulletin augmented grooving bass lines and guitars with drum machines, synthesized string parts and lots of electronic studio experimentation. The songs were filled with dense orchestration by multi-instrumentalist Steve Drozd and inspired production from longtime-collaborator Dave Fridmann.
Coyne also sang about his father's death in songs like "Waiting for Superman" and "Suddenly Everything Has Changed."It was this mixture of elements that has allowed this album to endure the last ten years and become one of great albums of the '90s. It was also about bassist Michael Ivins's car crash).
