  • I wasn't sure if I was digging it, then it dropped into Breathe and my mind exploded.

  • I think the emotion really comes across in this version of the song. It really feels genuine.

  • Whats wrong having a talented and innovated band (Flaming Lips) cover a talented and innovated band (Pink Floyd)?

  • only part i didnt like was the whole cough bit but other than that it waz great

  • ONE OF THE PPL IN THIS BAND HIS MOM WORK AT MOM SCHOOL LOL I KNOW HIM HE LIVED NORMAN OK LIKE ME HEHE

  • And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun,

    but it's sinking.........

  • It's not my cuppa tea, but hey, at least they had the balls to make it their own.

    IU say well done on that!

  • Disney movies, music, and acid

  • Great work

    Love it

    Terry

  • I am amazed of how it's not as bad as everyone made it sound, I knew it had to be brilliant or they wouldn't have dared to cover it..

  • its not the unoffical sound track 4 wizard of oz

  • this song makes me have to cough haha

  • NO! NO NO NO NO NO! YOU DO NOT CUT OUT THE SOLO!

    The phrasing is weird, the timing is wrong, I went into this with an open mind, but DAMN this sucks. they killed it. They killed it, its dead.

  • Hanging on in quiet desperation-- ah... :)

    Not that big of a fan of this cover album (too much "weird" and not enough "nice" for me -- it doesn't give me that warm feeling I get when listening to the original), but I really like their version of Time/Breath (Reprise).

  • Not very goos....

  • Home, Home again. I like to be here when I can. When I come home cold and tired, it's good to warm my bones beside the fire.

  • This is some fucking wierd shit like being on a mad trip again

  • Comment removed

  • Does anybody else get the feeling that Wayne is looking this as his requiem tribute to Syd Barrett and how he would interpret this album, being the only real post-syd album that he would realistically have any part of from an artistic standpoint??? I mean, really, all of the other post-syd albums are mostly Roger Waters anti-capitalist ravings....they're good, but it it's true. I don't know, it's just my opinion, I guess.

  • to me hearing this makes me think string theory is more probable. like this is something taken from an alternate universe. Ka may hap? and 19

  • Qued from 6.00am today to get my hands on a limited edition vinyl of this

  • Stardeath and The White Dwarfs are opening for The Flaming Lips at the Charlottesville Pavilion tonight.

  • bonnarooooo

  • @Showpony420 Oh I wish I was going.

  • I just don't understand how you can cut the guitar solo and feel satisfied...

  • Im sorry, every attempt to tribute to pink floyd will never sound as good as the origional. However some are decent enough to make me bob my head and still sing along

  • @psgamemaster so true. The only song that I beleived was bettert than the original was on the run. Mainly cause of the harmony.

  • Fantastic! The Lips Def. have big ones!

  • it pisses me off they don't finish the line "hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way"...its like the best lyric on the album

  • this is great. love the lips.

  • It's not bad but I will be forever confused by Drozd's continual refusal to solo.

  • no guitar solo? :'(

  • Well I am a pink floyd fan since I was born and this is great !!! its awesome !! They did it with their feel. People who say it shouldnt be done have to realize this is a tribute !! a way of saying thank you and keeping it alive

  • this isnt bad at all. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. I expected them to murder Time from the reviews I read. It sounds good to me.... Just makes me further realize how brilliant Pink Floyd truely is

  • You realize that other people have performed those pieces, right?

  • @sglooney316 You can't stop the Lips, you can only hope to contain them.

  • I'd like this more if the main vocals ("Taking away, the moments that make up the dull day...") were the same notes as the original, but they really fucked up on the other vocals ("Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time..."). I liked the way this started, but they managed to fuck it up when the vocals kicked in.

  • I quite enjoy this! I like this much more than their version of Money.

  • A very balls-y cover. Whether you like it or not, you have to give them credit - not every band would be brave enough to try something like this.

  • Yeah i know right thats soooo random

  • I'd much rather hear this deconstructed version of DSOTM over a note for note remake. I mean, what would be the point? If you want to hear note for note, just listen to the original. This is a fun little album meant to pay homage to the original, not to replace it.

  • Nicely Said.

  • @seign dont think anybody could have put it better than that. Nobdy can moan from now on!

  • EXACTLY i listen to MANY genres from Blues jazz AGangsta rap hip hop Filipino rap French rap spanish rap Real hip hop East coast status and Grunge and dcfc and so on. i know what good music sounds like and this isnt good music. im sorry Lips fans, its just not clicking right anyone who says this is good i give credit for sticking by them, its you people who cant deal with the criticism.

  • You're just rambling now. You're only proving his point.

  • how am i proving someones point???? you guys are fucking narrow minded bitches and cant think outside for a damn minute no wonder you yhink im rambling. all i was doing is stating an opinion im not alone in.

  • You're proving kingofkannibalz point, sorry. And no, you're not really posting your opinion, you're just being a nuisance. I agree, I don't like ALL of it, but some of it I do like. I can understand if people don't like it. You're just being annoying.

    Also, how can you call us "narrow minded bitches", but act the most "close minded" out of any of us?

  • I'll have to agree with medamorth. @ eASie76, I have been reading your (very annoying) comments and I want to ask you... Do you know what Music Theory is? It happens to be my minor in part with my major, Music Composition, and you sir.... have no idea what you're talking about. I'll bet money you don't even play an instrument. Why are you so dedicated to spamming on a comment board of a band you so adamantly recognize as falling short of the original? (cont.)

  • (cont.) It does fall short of the original, that is because you have two bands that are not talented musicians composing it. The Flaming Lips at one point said (don't quote me specifically) "We are awful musicians, but we put on a good show." I'll agree that this is not anywhere near as good as the PF version but they are keeping this music alive and that is something I cannot say about you. (cont.)

  • (cont.) You are disgracing PF with every ignorant comment you make especially when you are a "supporter" of them. If you were truly a supporter then you would go see this live and stop being bias. You have no point, so quit jabbering and save everyone else from reading anything further from you. Thanks.

  • Well said, Druss. Well said.

  • @Druss1586

    You think they aren't talented? You're a fool. And I'm sure he said that in jest. CDs and tapes are not shows and they sell a lot to people that have never seen them. You are stupid.

  • @Druss1586 Please stop whining. People cover pink floyd - that's a given. They're a big band. Easy-star all-stars did a fantastic job, and this album is pretty wicked too. Get off your high horse and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

  • you all are inconsiderate close minded douchesa, just because it doesnt sound like the origional song doesnt mean its a terrible cover. they just saw an opportunity to be creative, like the artist Dali, who did studies of picassos paintings... and they looked nothing the same. and its not a normal band doing a cover so dont expect the same thing as you would normal bands flaming lips is an art rock band not a mainstream radio band

  • ya i know that. i understand that they are a aart band or whatever, make a redo of the wall then and give the music picture. DSOTM to just was not meant to be re done like this.

  • Easie you need to get your priorities straight because I'm now seeing you on all the FL DSOTM Music videos and it's obvious that you just have some personal vendetta against the band or something so just calm it down and go find some other pointless thing to rant about you jabbering false music critic

  • how am i false music critic? explain that to me.... isnt that why were heere talking in the first place??? to say what we want? if your not willing to argue your point accross then dont reply.... and i dont hate them. im sure they have a few good records im just saying this redo isnt good. thats all im saying. music theory isnt supposed to change when is redone..

  • oh? isnt art subjective? tell me then oh wise music man, how is dark side of the moon supposed to be done? i wasnt aware that there was a set way to create art. isnt that the whole fucking point?

  • I saw them  last night in Oklahoma City and it absolutely jaw dropping done live.

  • this song rocks. especially when seeing it live at the new year's freakout 2009-2010. open your minds a little bit...

  • first of all, this is not flaming lips at all morons this is stardeath and white dwarfs, Wayne Coynes nephews band. It just happens to feature flaming lips. Second yes it is different and it may even be noisy at times but that's how the band is they arnt selling out, nothing can compare to the original music and you can't expect them to be flawless. You can't expect they're are just going to do an exact cover of their music that's not what a cover is suppose to be - to the simple minded

  • At 1:40, I had forgotten what i was listening to; it was so far away from the mark.

    Forget for a minute, if you can, what this is a "cover' of. You might call this 'music", and, granted: It qualifies, at least technically.

    However, it is BAD music---just as obnoxious as any noise committed to vinyl/tape/disc/hard-drive. This is not anywhere near in the same class as The Residents, or Henry Cow; this is noise for the sake of noise. You don't have to "get them" to know the difference.

  • YES this stuff is just stupid sounds to make noise Pink floyd made music with their sounds.. for instance there saws and what not they used is crazy and making the delays and echos known for awesomeness... this is a pathetic attempt by The lips to get some money for re doing an EPIC album and they want there 5 min of fame. the instruments are delayed or sound sound nothing like PF to me..

  • You obviously have no idea when it comes to music, and even when it comes to The Flaming Lips. First off, learn to form a coherent sentence. Second, the term is 15 minutes of fame. Third, The Flaming Lips are artists, and gave this album a try with their style (of course featuring whoever). When a band covers a song, it's to redo the song in their own way; not to cover the song to the exact note that it was orignally played. I love the lips cover, and I love the original. Open your mind a bit.

  • please tell me me where i dont make sense. are you sure you know how to read? ya i know 15 minutes of fame, but people do say 5 min.Dont say idk about music unless you are a composer or have memorized numerous beats or songs and so on... So dont critisize my intelligence. i know i dont know everything but i did pay a little attention in elementary music class..and i know covers are done in their own way but you should get the same feeling from PF here. Do you know what Music Theory is?

  • 1st of all I'm a huge Floyd fan! My favourite 3 albums r Piper At The Gates Of The Dawn, Obscured By Clouds, Meddle.. Now that's my "Credentials" to have an opinion. I can appreciate this as a cover I think it's pretty well done to be fair, I wont buy it which is why I'm listening to it on youtube. I agree it's league with The Residents but what is? I love Flaming Lips

    Its gr8 that they still experiment, the live shows are unbelievable! as 4 fame? dont need it they r infamous!

  • *I agree it's Not in league with the residents!!"

    -

    Incidently The King & Eye is the way to do covers in my opinion, make them your own the lips can't do that with DSOTM but at least live they cover songs like Lucifer Sam in the same set as doing Death Valley 69 by Sonic Youth! who else does that in this day and age?

  • what!? why so angry people!.. opinions opinions opinions, none are better than the other... this is an amazing fucking song!

    ps the lead singer is dennis coyne - stardeath, not fully flaming lips.

  • @VooDooJueJue I agree completely! Looks like some people don't know how to kick back & enjoy a song for what it is. A bunch of cool bands getting together to have fun remaking a group of songs they enjoyed growing up too. Let them have their fun. Its not like this album is going to replace the orginal & Pink Floyd will be forgotten forever...

    When I was younger I wanted to do a punk rock version of serval of Brenda Lee's songs...How fucking cool would that have been. :D

  • i know there not gonna replace them thats like replacing the beatles its not gonna happen. all i said is i didnt like what i was hearing

  • one of my favorite pink floyd songs and one of my favorite flaming lips songs.

  • I'm a huge lips fan and I love their live floyd covers and their floyd-like songs(Pompeii..), but this album just sounds very bland and rushed production-wise.

  • Fuck anyone who is hating on the lips

  • im not hating on em i just think they shouldnt have done DSOTM... its just too big of an album thats known way to well to be re done its not like live and unplugged, this is someones heart and dedication and its being re dione to sell records...

  • FLAMING LIPS=OVER THE HILL

  • WEEN BANJO= FULL OF SHIT

    WEEN= AN OKAY BAND (SOME OF THE TIME) AT BEST!

    isnt it great to dissagree

  • Ween is a million times better than the lips man. Sorry. I dont blame you though you are only 20. When i was 20 i thought the lips were great too. Then you grow up a little and realize that they sort of suck. Their songs are stupid and they often try too hard to make shit weird when it doesnt serve the song. the perfect example of a band that should have stopped at their peak but instead keep going and regressing to the point that they are desecrating dark side. desperation

  • first of all i dont know how you discerned my age but this has nothing to to with growing up it has to do with taste and in my oppinion ween sucks when i was 16 i ran away from one of their shows in uncontrollable laughter at a festival thinking ohh my god id have to be 12 years old to even be mildly entertained by this crap they are not desacrating darkside theyre remaking it but in the end i do love that you dissagree because thats what makes music music

  • I would have to agree. Sadly this is an example of how far the flaming lips have fallen. Once a great band and now just sort of sad and washed up. they havent made a good record since satellite heart. soft bulletin and yoshimi were both very uneven and forgettable.

  • It's their interpretation. I like it. It's original. Other bands cover songs almost note for note. Where's the creativity in that?

  • You Have to like the Flaming lips to get it.

    I love Both bands

  • its not a cover you dumbasses!! go cover pink floyd in your garage with your dad. duhhh

  • flaming lips is NOT Pink Floyd, I'm not saying that they cant do a cover of dark side, just that their music sounds nothing like the original, I'm a Pink Floyd fan, pure and simple, but when i see an awful cover of "Time" i gotta say something: the vocals were completely off and the instrumentals sounded like s***!! This sounded like a disgusting new-age techno remix of the original, but worse. Nothing, NOTHING can replace the original album from 1973

  • Absolutely love it.

  • you're right, updated the title

  • this track is Stardeath and White Dwarf

  • this is a disgrace to pink floyd, the should leave it to pink floyd to be the musicians

  • ahhhhhhhhhhh...... love at first sight

  • this is terrible

  • @LeightonGood you just need to be openminded

  • HOLY FUNKY JESUS

  • AMAZING!!!!!
