Mixerr Album Reviews #580

This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review the highly publicized well-received album by The Flaming Lips called The Terror from 2014/2015.

After many retail album releases, (over 30 to be exact), The Flaming Lips band releases the well-received rock album called the Terror. A look at the abstract distorted album cover artwork will automatically remind you of a Red Hot Chili Peppers album. (Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way anyone?) The artwork design is absolutely beautiful. Bubbly colored dots add in the texture theme.

Try To Explain is about loving someone when they tell you lies. You believe what they tell you. You are naive. Your head is trapped there in love walking away on the bridge to nowhere on the path of nowhere. Now try to explain that. Your Lust is yet another love song. A love song mixed with killer hard rock that is! Lust to succeed is what they say. Or what The Flaming Lips band members say.

Turning Violent is a killer hardcore killer hard rock song! A Flaming Lips song aimed at violence is to be expected since this is The Flaming Lips we are talking about. The Flaming Lips have been known to add violent themes to their lyrics in their albums over the past 30 years. Hard rock song Turning Violent is no exception. 

Although I expected The Terror album to have 11 tracks instead of 9, I have to say the listening experience was totally wild! The Flaming Lips perform at their best on this album whether they be in the studio or at their concerts. The Terror album by The Flaming Lip was a highly praised well-received album in music news sources such as All Music Guide, Punk Magazine, The Observer, Austin Chronicle, and Rolling Stone.
I rate this album, The Terror, 5/5*****!!
