Well, it could be worse. If you like the Flaming Lips you might be
bullied into buying another 3, seeing as their new LP comes on 4 CDs
which are intended to all be played at the same time (or not, if you're
feeling rebellious). What the point of it? Don't ask me. It could be
that they were just too lazy to mix it, or that they want to sell 1 CDs
for the price of four, or it could be just a load of gimmicky nonsense.
Great art concept guys, really it is, but next time please just spare us
the bullshit and just give us the music. Or don't, who really cares? And
yes, I know you can listen to each disc separately, and that might well
be considered 'the point' of the whole release (gasp at the innovation)
but as Irene points out, who but the luxuriously rich would have 4 CD
players to do this on. Maybe the real point of it all that you should
have three friends who are willing to lend you their stereos in order to
perform this most pointless of audio experiments in the first place.
It's a test of your love for the band incorporating your social skills
in persuasion and diplomacy. And after all that it's probably crap
anyway.

Kewl!

Graham.
