#10: The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002)

Now that we have the albums we know out of the way, let's jump right in with our first new listen.

Emily: I'm not really a fan of the electronic space-y sound on its own. However, when they add in acoustic guitar it adds a lush new dimension that makes the sound very interesting and unique. All of the songs really flow together, so I think it would make great music to concentrate to. It's worth another listen for sure.

Zack: This album sure was interesting. The electronic space rock parts fit together really well with the lyrics which are...unusual. Everything is simultaneously well-structured and random, from the individual songs to the entire album. The layering is simply exquisite. To be honest, I don't think I was fully able to comprehend the album after just one listen. The songs are just so complex that it begs to be repeated.
