The Flaming Lips Unveil 20th Anniversary Edition of ‘At War With The Mystics’
The Flaming Lips have announced a 20th-anniversary reissue of their 2006 album, "At War With The Mystics," featuring previously unreleased tracks. This release offers a nostalgic look back at a pivotal moment for the psych-rock institution.
These days, the Flaming Lips are a band in some disarray , and it's nice to be reminded of a time what that wasn't the case. Anniversary reissues are good for that. When they released their 2006 album At War With The Mystics , the Lips were already a psych-rock institution who'd become an unlikely touring sensation. Their previous album, 2002's Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots , was the biggest thing they'd ever made, and it might still be their defining record. Naturally, they responded to that success by getting weirder.
