Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
The Flaming LipsI really like the album art track 1- the vibe was nice and could bop to it if I was in the right mood track 2- good transition, very psychedelic, like mike tvs song in willy wonka, feels like a post apocalyptic world after the mechanical uprising when the first plant grows again track 3- feels much more happy than the last track, love the backing vocals, good vibes, interesting use of synths within majority guitar, so far the whole album feels like I'm tripping on acid, are the robots a metaphor for like depression/drugs?, vibe got darker at end track 4- wtf is happening, the battle between the robots and yoshimi/him? overload of synths and screaming, a wild ride, idk what's happening but its kinda fun, will never listen to this song again tho track 5- back to the psychedelic vibe of track 3, no vocals for a while, 2 tracks, there we go, reminds me of Harry styles, feels hopeful with instrumental but the lyrics allude to giving up/surrendering, a bit of a spacey vibe to it, like floating around in the universe with no set location, just being a free spirit roaming around space, this is a long ass song, the drops are very nice whenever the music stops and picks back up track 6- vocals are very quiet so I can't hear what he's saying but love the vibe, very peaceful, this whole album so far has felt like a lucid dream, harmonies gave been nice all the way through, not a fan of a fade out track 7-feels like stepping off your spaceship onto an alien planet where their civilisation is much more advanced than your own and feeling out of your depth, feels like floating, lovely vibe as usual, songs are starting to sound very similar which isn't a good sign, outro was nice track 8- called its summertime so should feel summery, is giving quite a summery vibe, reminds me of a flashback to summer in a coming of age movie, showing a montage of all of the summer highlights with your friends, I really like this one, I never really like closing a track with drums track 9- intro of counting down was fun, epic vocals with echo, FLOATING IN SPACE, light happy instrumental with dark lyrics 'do you realise that someday everyone you know will die', key change feels very worshippy, this is one of my faves so far, bridge is very good, closes with opening line which I like track 10- gives the same vibes as the rest of the tracks after the sudden change in do you realise, pace is picking up, ties together album themes of looking into the future and hopes/dreams looking forward, track 11 (last track) - strange as all we have is now felt like a strong closer and this could be a complete tonal shift from that, looking to be just an instrumental track like track 4 but slightly less chaotic, slightly, feels a bit unnecessary
