     The Flaming Lips continue their voyage to the outer reaches of mutant
     indie-pop. Clouds Taste Metallic is like pop music made by alien-abductee
     rejects, continuing the scattershot blizzard of ideas and images that
     marked such earlier classics as Hit to Death in the Future Head and
     Transmissions from the Satellite Heart. There's a greater focus, however,
     to the demented melodic glee of tracks such as "They Punctured My Yolk" and
     "Guy Who Got a Headache and Accidentally Saves the World", which are at
     least as interesting as their titles.

     In some respects, the Lips are like a Weezer that fell in with the wrong
     crowd at an early age: Wayne Coyne's vocals are just as fractured and
     vulnerable as Rivers Cuomo's, but his lyrical slant is more absurdist and
     the music decidedly more ambitious in its pursuit of the unusual. Not that
     they lack any of the more direct appeal of traditional pop - check the
     euphoric glory of "Placebo Headwound", whose ramshackle chassis boasts
     shiny pedal-steel accessories more appropriate to a luxury vehicle.
