It may not seem as deep as lyrics such as "we were raised on bread and baloney" or any other of the pseudo nursery rhyme lyrics of today...but several of these songs are what's missing on today's radio infested "play it every hour" - "we will make it a hit" stations.
Thank god for technology...ipod...satellite radio...etc.
This album has some studs and some duds...but what album doesn't? I'm a new Lips fan, but I say this is what music should be...experimental, creative, fun, moody, thought provoking and a little weird!

The Flaming Lips are truly unique. Nobody else in alt-rock sounds like them. Over the course of a long career--from 1989 to the present--this band has followed it's own course--a journey through life that Billboard didn't chart, MTV largely ignored, and a few hardcore fans followed through all the changes--geographical, wildly experimental musical exercises, and heroin/cocaine addictions. From various fanboy perspectives, this may not be the best Flaming Lips album ever, but it is one of the best of many. "At War With The Mystics" find Wayne Coyne & company offering one of their most commercially acceptable albums since--forever? Have the Lips sold out to to Clear Channel chart options? If you truly believe that's the case, then you are so wrong. This band is totally "out there." They do not pander to demographics. But whether they like it--or not--everybody loves The Flaming Lips. Does that mean that "At War With The Mystics" is a total sell-out? Not at all. It just means that after years of scrambling, scraping and barely making it, The Lips have achieved chart success. The Flaming Lips didn't change--but the audience did. That's why "At War With The Mystics" is an "overnight" success.
