The Flaming Lips
Oczy Mlody
Warner Bros.
2017
I’m still trying to recall if I actually listened to this album or I dreamt that I listened to it… I totally believe that the music of this album put me to sleep without even knowing how and when… it was like a trippy sleeping journey with various ambient psychedelic sounds here and there. Damn, it was so nice till I woke up and it all came back to me!
The album is about a drug trip as the band said, but hadn’t they said so, it would still be easy to figure it out if you try to listen to it. An electronic, ambient, spacey, trippy, atmospheric, dreamy & psychedelic amalgam of sounds that are trying hard to lead somewhere but they never do in the very end. Just imagine listening to a monotonous, tedious & soft music for about 58 minutes, without having any micro-sleep at all… that’s impossible! I’d recommend this album to those who are having any kind of sleep issues. It’s not a joke; it can offer you a helping hand in fact.
There are many parts here that were “influenced” by the soft atmospheric side of Pink Floyd… then again the most average Floyd music parts are easily the most “interesting/remarkable” music themes any band can come up with, including The Flaming Lips. I know it sucks but that’s “music” life. Can the participation of Miley Cyrus on “We a Famly” add something extra to the final outcome? Nope, I don’t think so… as soon as the “drug trip” is over, it’s too hard to face the friggin reality…
