Interesting. They did a nice job, but I think they sort of sapped everything good out of Unmade Bed. Same goes for the Led Zep.

I really didn't like the Unmade Bed cover that much...then again I'm not a big Flaming Lips fan.
No Quarter wasn't that bad though.

I am a HUGE lips fan, but I think they butchered it. It sounds like a "bad joke" honestly. I'm not hating on the lips, I have every single album and have always loved them(except Yoshimi), but this cover just sounds like a bad joke.

They do some really great covers, like Louis Armstrong's "What a wonderful World", which still blows me away, but this one just doesn't sound very "thought out" according to the Lip's potential. I think if they really put their minds to it, they could've done a much better job.

hahaha . . . this is interesting, but i may have to listen to it a few times before i get it. just kinda weird to hear the flaming lips cover sonic youth, as those two bands are my co-favorites. definitely exciting though--like seeing wayne wearing a sonic youth t-shirt in the slip cover of hit to death in the future head.

I just heard it. I want to hear the Lips doing Death valley 69!

I like their cover of Unmabe Bed. They take it into space out mode. which the song was close too. The original's skronk is too beautiful to recreate though. Lee RULES!

Man, I'm listening to it right now, I cannot believe what they did to this song, they ruined one of the best SY song (why add SY?). They removed all the melodic and rythmic subtlety. It(the real version, not the cover ) kind of reminds of some jazz compositions. Like Unwind it's uncaracteristic SY but it's still a gem.
