One of the fore fathers of indie rock and alternative music dropped The Flaming Lips & Heady Fwends a bit ago and with all the special guests they have included one might think uh oh. But overall this stays within their creative norms and delivers some crazy fuzzy rock music that is full of energy and imaginative sound scapes. The guests are all over the map from Bon Iver and Ke$ha to Yoko Ono and Eryka Badu who actually does a very interesting rendition of "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" that I found very cool.I had to chuckle when the band does "Girl Your So Weird" considering where it is coming from. As far as hipster music and those who deem themselves smarter than the rest of us this album will be a clear winner. For the mainstream there is very little to sink your teeth into, I on the other hand find this an interesting listen and one that does take some effort now and again to get through. But when you just want to sit back and hear sonic sounds that deviate from the norm this album will fill that void.
