This album was recorded into one microphone and was released around the pioneering times of the lo-fi movement. It was the old school catching up with the new school. The Flaming Lips are a bit hit and miss. They can produce gorgeous albums like this or they can release terrible music. They are not truly indie in a sense because they are signed to a major label. But saying this they have this dark cult-like following that many mainstream bands do not have. They get pigeonholed as being alternative rock, but they are on a major label. Serious songwriting and themes are prevalent in Wayne Coyne's lyrics and the rest of the group are all quite adept at their own instruments.
