Weird-driven sweet psychedelic pop with waves of melodies , harmonies , ideas , sounds n beauty flow around n creatin an addictive and orgasmic -musically- result.from flaming lips to mercury rev , from spoon to of montreal with even echoes of pink floyd, everythin is here. even if its too early, I can definitely say that "The Evening Descends" is definitely one of the albums of the year.
JC C. gave it a10:
Simply a stunning album. Messy and grandiose at the same time, this is exactly the kind of music that The Flaming Lips should have been making for the last 10 years. Some will scream "CONCEPT ALBUM" but that shouldn't put anyone off as this is a beautifully crafted album with no weak moments and a stunning sense of raw emotion throughout. Naturally, the critics have been polarised on this one but personally, I doubt I'll hear a better album all year.
