专辑介绍：
NME周报九分，滚石杂志四颗星高评将新迷幻摇滚的格局进一步以细碎却庞大宛如星际陨石群袭来的电气音色及节奏层层包裹推荐曲："Do You Realize？"、 "Fight Test"、"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots...
" The Flaming Lips早已公推是后判客年代最具原创性的乐队，而对於这种已有历史定位的，总不免觉得他们接下来的工作大约便是守成，难再有什么惊天动地、惊世骇俗的突破。尤其The Flaming Lips从八○年代中期的美式独立噪音摇滚一路脱胎换成近期的新迷幻风骨，其始终丰盈的创意与大团气势，已经够让眾多后生晚辈折服；而九九年那张前作「The Soft Bulletin」更是公认九○年代结束前，够格与Pink Floyd之「Dark Side Of The Moon」相提并论的经典。 " 成团十多年来，他们杰作不断，甚至也冲上了该有的颠峰。 可是，此刻这三年来全新的专辑「Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots」，却叫人惊觉，原来The Flaming Lips已经登上了另一处凡人几乎眺望不到的创意山头。可是，此刻这三年来全新的专辑「Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots」，却叫人惊觉，原来The Flaming Lips已经登上了另一处凡人几乎眺望不到的创意山头。
本来乍看以为一切照旧，自九七年的专辑「Zaireeka」起，他们就习惯在制作人Dave Fridmann位於纽约的录音室工作。本来乍看以为一切照旧，自九七年的专辑「Zaireeka」起，他们就习惯在制作人Dave Fridmann位于纽约的录音室工作。 这位Mercury Rev的贝斯手，就因为原团的「Deserter’s Songs」成为当代摇滚新美学指标人物之一；其后更外接了Mogwai、Sparklehorse与Luna等团的制作重任，继续发挥其影响力。 两年前的春天The Flaming Lips 开始筹备「Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots」这张专辑，依旧由他担纲，但在主唱Wayne Coyne跟团员的心里，似乎显然毫无恋栈之意。
他们一方面进行著前作之主打单曲"Race For The Price"的重新混音工程(始终不满意，后来没发表)，而Wayne Coyne一边还埋头谱写著他参与的第一部电影【Christmas On Mars】的配乐；同时又接获一封电子邮件，告知他们之前巡迴时所结识，那位经营著唱片行的日本女子突然过世了！ 这些听起来毫不相干的独立事件，似乎正是隐约推动The Flaming Lips变革的新力量。当然只有Wayne Coyne心里最清楚，到底是否因为他在那部科幻电影(故事大约是地球终于殖民了火星，但有天这太空计划决定终止，火星上的住民该何去何从…)扮演一个类似圣诞老人的角色，所以他们才把乐团的声响全面太空化，将新迷幻摇滚的格局进一步以细碎却庞大，宛如星际陨石群袭来的电气音色及节奏层层包裹，比Air、 Boards Of Canada乃至近期的Radiohead都不失色；甚至虚构出一个日本女孩叫Yoshimi(专辑内就真的请来日本噪音怪胎乐队Boredoms的团员 Yoshimi)，独自对抗杀人机器The Pink Robots这款把戏。 宛如初生之犊才有的破格勇气，The Flaming Lips再度让世人瞠目结舌。
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is the tenth album by The Flaming Lips, released on July 16, 2002. It is characterized by electronic influenced, psychedelic-tinged alternative rock compositions. It has been certified Gold by the RIAA.
After the symphonic majesty of The Soft Bulletin, the Flaming Lips return with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, a sublime fusion of Bulletin's newfound emotional directness, the old-school playfulness of Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, and, more importantly, exciting new expressions of the group's sentimental, experimental sound. While the album isn't as immediately impressive as the equally brilliant and unfocused Soft Bulletin, it's more consistent, using a palette of rounded, surprisingly emotive basslines; squelchy analog synths; and manicured acoustic guitars to craft songs like "One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21," a sleekly melancholy tale of robots developing emotions, and "In the Morning of the Magicians," an aptly named electronic art rock epic that sounds like a collaboration between the Moody Blues and Wendy Carlos. Paradoxically, the Lips use simpler arrangements to create more diverse sounds on Yoshimi, spanning the lush, psychedelic reveries of "It's Summertime"; the instrumental "Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon"; the dubby "Are You a Hypnotist?"; and the barely organized chaos of "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 2," which defeats the evil metal ones with ferocious drums, buzzing synths, and the razor sharp howl of the Boredoms' Yoshimi. Few bands can craft life-affirming songs about potentially depressing subjects (the passage of time, fighting for what you care about, good vs. evil) as the Flaming Lips, and on Yoshimi, they're at the top of their game. "Do You Realize??" is the standout, so immediately gorgeous that it's obvious that it's the single. It's also the most obviously influenced by The Soft Bulletin, but it's even catchier and sadder, sweetening such unavoidable truths like "Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?" with chimes, clouds of strings, and angelic backing vocals. Yoshimi features some of the sharpest emotional peaks and valleys of any Lips album — the superficially playful "Fight Test" is surprisingly bittersweet, while sad songs like "All We Have Is Now" and "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell" are leavened by witty lyrics and production tricks. Funny, beautiful, and moving, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots finds the Flaming Lips continuing to grow and challenge themselves in not-so-obvious ways after delivering their obvious masterpiece.
