They'll be playing this live on NYE too, in Oklahoma City.

    I think it depends on how seriously you expected the Flaming Lips to take it. My levels were set in the "fun and quick side project" area and that's what I'm getting out of this.

    I'm a Pink Floyd purist, but also like The Flaming Lips a lot. The first time I listened to it I cringed a bit. The second time the cringe was gone and I enjoyed picturing them recording it. Now I like it and have listened to it a bunch of times. They aren't trying to be Pink Floyd. They're just being themselves playing Pink Floyd tunes. It works for me.

    Totally. As a Floyd & Lips fan, it's a cool little project to get my hands on.

    Did you seriously think they'd actually try to make Dark Side Of The Moon better??? That's not possible, it would be like Dave Gilmour trying to re-invent Yoshimi

    I thought the same thing...I didn't go into it expecting them to try and make it their own, I don't think they're stupid enough to make such a move. They just wanted to cover some music that they obviously like, but keep it's dignity, which I think they did. Nice, fun little project.

    Yeah, I dig it. Great Gig in the Sky is awesome. Peaches did a great job on it (and having seen her live once, I never thought I'd like anything she did).

    The fuzzy bass line on Breathe is pretty cool too. Nice garagey tribute to DSotM, brings back some of the earlier Lips sounds.

    I enjoy it and don't consider it blasphemy that the Lips wanted to do this over. They do their own spin on it and I've been enjoying it. Listened to it about 6 times through so far.

    i think they did ok. i mean it is crazy for anyone to take such a project with any seriousness. you can tell that it was a fun thing not a serious remake of the legend. it works out well imo.

    I'm not a fan and really have no interest in hearing the Lips do this because I think that piece of work shouldn't be fooled around with, but according to Rollingstone.com Wayne let it slip in an interview that they will be doing it at Bonnaroo this year.....schedule will be officially released next Tuesday
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
