I disagree. I usually hate how Pitchfork reviews albums, but I thought that one was pretty spot on in its writing. There's a lot of knowledge about the music, thar.

"The Flaming Lips crushed and snorted the pop narcotic, and the resulting trip became "Embryonic," a distilled and cooked confection formed from more than two decades of touring and boombox symphonies and darkly ridiculous live jams."

And these were uniquely obtuse:
