But if they officially acknowledged unification, we'd officially be able to acknowledge the songs in their pristine format, and there'd be a useful flurry of positive criticism headed Coynewards
plus I like owning groovy CDs

This has not stopped me from finding a copy of unified Zaireeka online.

No self-titled 1984 debut EP on LSD Records with "My Own Planet" on it, no credibility.

Zaireeka is an amazing album, absolutely amazing. I think "Riding to Work in the Year 2025" is my favorite Flaming Lips song ever.
I was really into them in high school and thru Soft Bulletin but kind of go in and out of phases nowadays. Their 90s output, tho, is top notch. Really hard to pick a favorite of any of them.

Fixed.
This album should not be rereleased in its unified format, ever. Why spoil the fun? Why take one of the decade's most baffling, uniquely interesting experiments and turn it into just another album? Why take away the mystery? Part of the fun, Wayne has always said, is never hearing the same album twice...

So awesome In a Priest Driven ambulance got so many votes. "There You Are (Jesus Song No. 7" has an amazing solo

how dafuq did soft bulletin not win this

I'd put all the other 90s albums ahead of soft bulletin.
Yoshimi is where they lost me, but they got me back briefly with Embryonic.

damn right it is. that song gives me chills, and the coda chord progression is so sad and beautiful. imo it's proof that they had something of a Soft Bulletin in them even before Steven joined the band.
