( Hear It Is also was reissued on vinyl in 2005.)
The CD release on Pink Dust collects the contents of the first two records, adding a version of “Summertime Blues” that’s considerably closer to Blue Cheer than Eddie Cochran. While affectionately borrowing riffs here and there, the Lips (now a trio, with Coyne inheriting vocal duties from his brother Mark, who left the band) show real originality, balancing the rockin’ grunge of “With You” and “Jesus Shootin’ Heroin” with softer acoustic passages. Hear It Is fulfills some of that promise. Loud, wild and funny, the Flaming Lips play in the same pen of cartoon-psychedelia imagery used by others, but these disenfranchised Oklahomans, led by songwriter/guitarist/singer Wayne Coyne, possess wit and ingenuity most of the acid-addled competition lacks.įrom its uniquely disgusting front cover to the brilliant alienation anthem “My Own Planet,” The Flaming Lips (originally issued on a label whose acronym is LSD) shows considerably more promise than just about anything else in the college-radio underground’s drooling- garage-thrash brigade.
