![]() “I guess druggy music for adults who still have the potential to be childlike and excited.” Is Oczy (with its intimations of opiates, via oxycodone) Mlody druggy music for kids, or a kids’ album for adult spliffheads? Coyne laughs. So I thought, ‘I’m really gonna sing about unicorns and rainbows and yet I know it can be interpreted as something else and I’m just gonna do it.’ That was a great breakthrough.” “I would never sing about a dragon and mean it to be marijuana – a lot of people would – but people like that about music. ![]() “A lot of people would come to that song because they thought it was a reference to smoking pot, but I came to it when I was five years old because I thought it was about a dragon,” he explains. The Odd Couple: Coyne and Steven Drozd (right) And that’s not even mentioning the frogs and wizards… ![]() And all these decadent shenanigans are meant to take place inside “a gated community that has been made into a replicant fantasy city where the mega-mega rich folks live and have self-indulgent psycho parties where everyone takes the drug and has sex followed by painful emotional therapy sessions where every primal desire is allowed and encouraged while riding unicorns”. One suggestion is that it’s the name of “the current cool powerful party drug of choice”, designed to “send you into the deepest slumber during which you’re able to sleep off withdrawals and cravings and wake up sober”. A mood that might find him at any moment discussing the proximity of his band The Flaming Lips’ latest music, as featured on 15th album Oczy Mlody, to the sound of rapper A$AP Rocky and original psychedelicat Syd Barrett “getting trapped in a fairytale from the future”, or perhaps detailing the various possible meanings of the LP title. That is to say, playful and prone to mercurial flights of fancy that Lewis Carroll might consider far-fetched. ![]() 13-16 I could do without.Wayne Coyne is in a distinctly Wayne Coyne-ish mood. 1-12 are all great and were tough to rank. I think it's worth mentioning how much better I think 12 is than 13. The Terror and At War with the Mystics are neck and neck. This top 2 and most defo the top 2Įmbryonic way too high and the terror and hit to death way too fucking low Everything else is money.ĭrop 5 way down to the bottom, and this looks pretty sound - nice nice. I have always started with Transmissions so I'm not very familiar with work earlier than that and have still yet to hear Zaireeka. Love that you did this! Very well spread out rankings with no leniency on any one era too much showing you're a true fan. They showed some improvement on oh my gawd!!! only to regress to this garbage. ![]() I'm glad King's Mouth and American Head were better. It's mostly just ok but there are a few bad songs and the pace of it sucks. I thought they were starting to lose it here. I have it ranked low because it's novelty and some of the arrangements are too modern pop for me. The 4 disc project is pretentious.but fun at the same timeĪ much needed improvement over Oczy Mlody. I have this ranked high because the songs are good. The critics aren't always right but I agree with them on this one.įight Test is great.even if it bites off Cat Stevens. ![]()
