"At War with the Mystics," however, is a little (just a little) more direct. It can slide comfortably next to "Bulletin" and "Yoshimi" as the third post-"Zaireeka" Lips album, but it's also as playful as the earlier work and likely to be defined by its political themes.Good stuff. I could use a few good protest tunes to blog to.
On "Free Radicals" Coyne takes aim at George Bush: "You think you're radical, but you're not so radical. In fact, you're fanatical."
Lips
In addition to Morrissey’s new album, which arrives today—and which I will hopefully have in my hot little hands in mere hours, pant pant—The Flaming Lips, with whom I have rung in several New Year’s and who I love only slightly less than The Smiths (The Soft Bulletin may be my favorite non-Smiths or Bowie album ever), have a new one out today called At War with the Mystics. Mr. Shakes passed on this article from CNN, which notes:
