I think the lips are great, and I hope that their cover of Borderline is on there.
Of course they used to be better; that's something that can be said for virtually every band out there. But look at their contemporaries from back in the day. Flaming Lips started almost as a wannabe Butthole Surfers knock off, and I feel that they eventually surpassed them. And while both bands have progressively gotten worse through the years, I feel that The Flaming Lips' downward spiral is going at a much slower pace.
