this record.

Which, honestly, I do think ALMOST as highly of ... as a whole record/listening experience. They didn't have the budget that Radiohead had for OK Computer, but the less-polished nature kinda adds to the charm IMHO.

Like OK, it's very much a grower ... the hooks take a couple spins to really sink in ... but once they do, you're like ... damn, this way catchier than I thought

It was done with NO computers

I only have 5 Flaming Lips LPs. But you called it Mr L. As always you know your music.

It is a great LP, I should probably add it to my collection.

I bow to you, sir!
