About

When <i>The Soft Bulletin</i> was released in 1999, The Flaming Lips were best-known as the freaky experimental troupe responsible for the leftfield MTV hit "She Don't Use Jelly." This album changed all that. Keeping company with epics like <i>Pet Sounds</i> and <i>Sgt. Pepper's</i>, <i>Bulletin</i> overflows with gorgeous melodies, orchestral flourishes, and sweetly psychedelic imagery. Frontman Wayne Coyne emerges from his trickster chrysalis a cherubic butterfly, pouring his heart into songs like "Waitin' for a Superman" and "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate."
