Yeh the new Lips record is amazing. It's been said, but it's a good balance of the newer electronic/orchestral elements of Yoshimi & Soft Bulletin, and the more guitar-based stuff from their earlier period...I also dig the funk element present in a few songs, not overpowering, but done with good measure. Steven Drozd has yet again outdone himself with his arrangements (seriously he doesn't get enough credit, the guy is a fucking genius.) and it's probably the first Lips album that Coyne doesn't sound like he's straining with the vocals.
And Pompeii Am Gutterdamerung is one of the most mindblowing tracks I've heard in a while. That melody is ridiculous.
