Music reviews of Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid 1983-1988
Music Review: Smart Collection, Good Music.
Rating: 4 Stars
I've already written reviews on all three of these albums individually, so I'm going to address this release as a whole.
This is a good collection, compiling The Flaming Lips first three albums and their debut EP, spanning their first four years as recording artists. This set also includes some bonus tracks, including demos and live versions of songs... The problem is, some of these are not worth the space, and this waste keeps the tracks "Summertime Blues" and the full version of "Hell's Angel's Cracker Factory" from making it on. I also do not like how the album covers have been reduced to 1x1 inch thumbnails inside of the jacket, although there are some nice liner notes. Aside from these two minor-ish drawbacks, this is an excellent collection that provides much insight on the Flaming Lips early career.
Description of Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid 1983-1988
Full Title - Finally, The Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid. The first, and largest, of two archival sets from Restless which collects nearly all the material released by the Flaming Lips before they left independent rock for one of the most unexpected major-label deals in history. Over the course of three discs, it tells the story of what Wayne Coyne calls 'a talentless, inexperienced, poorly conceived, poorly equipped drug damaged group of friends and family who had an enthusiasm for punk, new wave and classic rock.' Remastered and includes over 16 bonus cuts of demos, live recordings and covers. The bonus tracks are 'Killer On The Radio', 'Batman Theme', 'Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere', 'Handsome Johnny', 'Groove Room', 'Jesus Shootin' Heroin', 'Trains, Brains & Rain', 'Communication Breakdown', 'One Million Billionth Of A Millisecond On A Sunday Morning' (live), 'Death Valley 69', 'Thank You', 'Can't Stop theThe Flaming Lips are a rarity. Here, after all, is an outfit that helped blaze the trail for the alternative revolution, thrived in their late '80s/early '90s heyday when outr? were in, and continue to flourish long after most of their off-the-beaten-path peers have faded away. It's doubtful many of their scattered '80s champions would have predicted the Lips would be going strong decades down the road, given their chaotic, uncompromising, and just generally weird aesthetic. This aptly named three-disc collection chronicles the band in their wilderness years. Featuring the Oklahoma group's self-titled debut EP, their first three proudly erratic full-length LPs (including 1987's truly inspired Oh My Gawd!!!), and 16 bonus cuts, it captures a band that owed as much to early Pink Floyd as to the Ramones. Those who have discovered the band through the relatively accessible likes of 1999's The Soft Bulletin and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots will find the primal psychedelia here mind-blowing, in a familiar sort of way. --Steven Stolder
