np: "Powerless" - The Flaming Lips

Embryonic is a treat, to be certain. An unexpected slab of brilliance that will add another bright, shining star to the shimmering galaxy that is the Flaming Lips discography. At the very least it rates right up there with Clouds Taste Metallic and In A Priest Driven Ambulance as their three best albums. But more on that when my review goes up shortly. For now I want to share what I believe to be one of the standout tracks from the album. Actually this song represents the middle third of the the three-track run that cemented this as one of my favorite albums of the year. For those of you still missing Ronald Jones, the fantastic guitar work here should give you another reason to give the band another chance.
