The Flaming Lips are giving us a proper deep dive into their archives with this reissue, and honestly, that's the kind of thing that can genuinely reward the curious listener. There's something special about hearing how a band's big ideas develop from their rougher early takes, and a "Bohemian Rhapsody" cover from Wayne Coyne and co sounds like it could be wonderfully weird. If you've ever wondered what went into the making of one of their albums, this expanded edition might just scratch that itch. It's the sort of release that reminds us why digging into the back catalogue can be just as rewarding as chasing the latest drop.
