Flaming Lips fans...i need your advice

[MrCoffee]

Should i buy At War With The Mystics? i haven't heard any tracks off it yet, and don't know if i want to. i was sort of disappointed with the direction they were going with Yoshimi. i'm an old skool Unconsciously Screaming big Flaming Lips guitar sort of fan. whaddaya think?

4. I also vote yes - best album of 2006

Unlike most Lips albums this was a little difficult to get into, but it grew on me tremendously.

5. If you did not like Yoshimi, you may not like the new one...

I am a HUGE fan and I even have some of their rare vinyl from the 90's.
I love the old & new stuff- If you view them as 2 separate bands, it is much easier to enjoy their new stuff.

Would you dislike "Yoshimi" if you had thought it was some cool new psychedelic band rather than the Lips you once knew?

If you were to see them do the new tunes live, I think you would want to check out the CD.
