i was hoping it would sound something like if Wayne Coyne got together with Steven Drozd & hung out with Michael Ivins while discovering music.

As long as they're WORKING........

right?

It will have Steven Drozd on it = it will be good.

I think the next album will be better than Mystics by simple virtue of the fact that they aren't spending years making a movie at the same time while recording it anymore. Mystics biggest problem is that the songwriting, particularly the lyrics, seemed distracted.

Well, that and, ya know, Fridmann apparently having a hard-on for redlining all the levels when shit's getting mastered.

drozd was on mystics, and mystics was borderline good...i LOVE the lips but they really need to turn out something very different from mystics to regain their yoshimi/bulletin/clouds respect.... and maybe kick up their next tour to being mostly live music

If they didn't make a move away from Clouds Taste Metallic, we wouldn't have ever heard The Soft Bulletin, and so on. So At War With The Mystics was another move in a new direction, and any album with My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion, Pompeii am Gotterdammerung, and Free Radicals is FAR beyond "borderline good".

They've already enjoyed their "Yoshimi/Bulletin/Clouds respect", and they made another move away from the previous album with At War With The Mystics. So the next album will be another move in another direction. How can a band 'lose respect' by trying different things? It's been said before, I know, but not enough bands do different things.

As for the "mostly live music" thing, what's wrong with the backing tracks? They open up so much new ground to be covered, and so many new possibilities. If they had an orchestra backing them, do you think Race For The Prize would rock as hard as it does? I don't.

But opinions differ.

OH GAWD!!!! that was damn funny.

on a serious note i really think the Lips need to get away from sounding like the past.

or even the notion of them "going back" to old roots is a concern of mine.

this band NEVER looked to the past when making records imo

FUCK JOHN LENNON FUCK THE WHO FUCK THE MC5 FUCK MILES MOTHERFUCKING DAVIS & FUCK COMPUTERS... I WANT THE FLAMING MOTHERFUCKING LIPS!
