 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : The Soft Bulletin
At first, The Soft Bulletin may sound like an album that you need be a bitter graduate student to enjoy: It has song titles like "The Spiderbite Song," Wayne Coyne, the lead singer, has a high-pitch, shaky voice and at first listen, The Soft Bulletin is a whole lot to digest.

 Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin - almost cool music review
I'm glad that such a person didn't come along, because after reading quite a lot of good about the new album by the Flaming Lips from different independent sources, I went out and purchased it.
After the great "What Is The Light?" and the less-exciting instrumental "The Observer," the group comes right back with another track that has single material written all over it.
The disc closes out with several other solid tracks, one not-quite as interesting one, and one remixed version of both "Race For The Prize" and "Waitin' For A Superman." Although the versions aren't too much different, they don't sound unwelcome and make for a smidge more music.

 The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
For the last 16 years they've produced a wealth of diversions to the norm, first starting out as a death-rock outfit, then dabbling in punk before settling into an impressive decade-long foray of cutting-edge experimental rock, but, unfortunately, for the most part they've managed to allude the public eye.
With an ominous bass-line with it's own agenda and an overall 'feel good' melody, the first single from the album "Buggin'" could prove to be one of the 10 best pop songs of the year.
Fame and fortune may never fall in the lap of The Flaming Lips, but as long as they continue to make relevant slabs of brilliant madness as on The Soft Bulletin they should at least get a crack at the 15 minutes they've deserved for so long.

 The Flaming Lips : The Soft Bulletin - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
If you're the Flaming Lips, you keep rushing headlong into the unknown -- The Soft Bulletin, their follow-up to the four-disc gambit Zaireeka, is in many ways their most daring work yet, a plaintively emotional, lushly symphonic pop masterpiece eons removed from the mind-warping noise of their past efforts.
Though more conventional in concept and scope than Zaireeka, The Soft Bulletin clearly reflects its predecessor's expansive sonic palette.
There's no telling where the Lips will go from here, but it's almost beside the point -- not just the best album of 1999, The Soft Bulletin might be the best record of the entire decade.

After seeing the Lips pefrom on Tonight with Jools Holland, i decided to have a look at them (especially after hearing that the're one of the greatest live bands ever) and decided to start with what everyone called theyre 'masterpiece'- the soft bulletin, which was a major dissapointment.
This album is full of dull, lifeless songs devoid of any emotion- it sounds like the same 3 notes played on xylophone again and again broken only by hard to distinguish lyrics from what sounds like a heavily synthesised fieldmouse, and whats worse is that this album only gets worse with each listen.
