I want to be able to listen to the whole song all the way throught! Not get this like circumcised version of it. I bought this album on the day it came out on iTunes, and what I get is all 9 songs, with the ends and beginnings chopped off, so you can be able to listen to the songs on "shuffle mode" on your iPod or iPhone.
The one thing that I find somewhat annoying though, is the iTunes mastered version of this LP. Its just great to always be able to get something new and fresh from the Flaming Lips because they will never really put out the same two things twice.
The thing that is so amazing about the Lips is that they are so diverse, they can have one album be filled with happy catchy poppy tunes (about death by the way), and have the next one be like the Terror, filled with dark ambient music. You would probably get bored having them put out an exact copy of Yoshimi every few years. Some may think its a turn for the worst, but I think that this album is just nothing short of amazing. This is such a change for the Flaming Lips, each one of their albums are different than the next, but this one has the biggest change out of all of them. This is such a change for the Flaming Lips, each one of their albums are different than the next, but this one has the biggest change out Wow. Over the following years, the band developed a fervent worldwide fan base and continues to record and tour to this day, still pushing artistic boundaries and packing concert halls.Wow. Two of their most lauded records, The Soft Bulletin (1999) and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002), careened into electronic music exploration, and helped firmly cemented their reputation as important rock music innovators.

Not interested in retreading familiar ground, or resting on their laurels, the Lips released a series of albums over the next several years that strayed further into new sonic and stylistic territory…and garnered massive critical acclaim along the way. “Jelly” quickly became a modern rock staple, pushing its way onto the pop charts…and radically changing the trajectory of the band’s career. The sudden, unexpected success of their single, “She Don’t Use Jelly,” took both the band and record execs by complete surprise. Signed to Warner Brothers a few years prior, the band’s lineup now featured lead guitarist Ronald Jones and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd bashing away on drums.
The fusion of all these elements hit a critical mass with their 1993 release, Transmissions from the Satellite Heart. With each subsequent album, The Flaming Lips further developed their sound…smashing noise rock energy and blistering volume together with power pop hooks and melodies, riff rock swagger, bizarre imagery, arresting lyrics, sound effects, and Wayne’s warbling, heavily processed vocals. The band soldiered on as a power trio, releasing their next album, Hear It Is, in 1986. Though the EP was getting some college radio airplay, Mark decided to quit the band and get married…which pushed Wayne into the role of lead singer. Two years later they released their debut-a self-titled five-song EP on green vinyl-via their own label, Lovely Sorts of Death. The Flaming Lips genesis occurred when 15-year-old Wayne Coyne convinced his brother Mark and bassist Michael Ivins to start a band…eventually settling on drummer Ricard English to complete the lineup. The band formed in Oklahoma City in 1983.
