    Dark, wild, psychedelia -- an amazing trip
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2012*

You know EMBRYONIC is going to be great as soon as you hear the first minute or so of the first track, "Convinced of the Hex" -- it sounds like a higher energy update of Can's 

  
TAGO MAGO









  
  
    
  .  Then follows "The Sparrow Looks Up At the Machine," another high energy track, and we are lofted into another dimension.The album alternates brilliantly between rocking fast numbers, some with frantic drum&bass rhythms, and slower more ambient ones.  The lyrics are not totally transparent, but to me they suggest a dark meditation on the illusion of free will and in particular the contradiction between A) a pantheistic sense of being one with Nature and other species and beings, and B) the realization that there is no morality in nature.  In what might seem to be a twist on THE MATRIX, the imagery here of "The Machine" from which we seek liberation in Nature might actually *be* Nature, a Vast Amoral System.This is a dark, wild trip.  In the past I found what I had heard of the Flaming Lips to tend toward the precious, poppy, and cutesy.  Wayne Coyne's falsetto voice in particular was not appealing.  EMBRYONIC explodes out of that mold with a jagged, often dissonant, exhilarating sound!Without a doubt one of the best albums of 2009 and of the first decade of the New Millennium.

    What a Great Album! Getchu one!
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015*

This album is a perfect example of music that has been labelled "experimental", yet isn't pretentious nonsense. It's got loud "rocking-out"moments, quieter more introspective moments of beautiful melancholy, great lyrics, and like other Lips albums, evokes a unique and distinctive mood--which might be better described as a state of consciousness--that no other music can. A trippy and wonderful album. I've been listening to this thing for years and it never gets old! I haven't ever taken drugs, but I don't need to--I've got the Lips.

    a throwback to the great concept albums of the 60's and 70's
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2012*

This is a great album, especially considering as it's coming 20 years into this band's career.  They gone from jangly post-punk through a heavy synth-keyboard lyrical  phase on to this dark, experimental kind of journey. There are passages that sound like something that Pink Floyd could have done - atmospheric keyboards, background voices... riffs or just single notes that bring the Beatles or Hendrix to mind -- the weird lyrics almost channeling early Black Sabbath, but they make perfect sense within the context of the cd; this band takes all these influences and makes something unique from them -- some very nice bass and drum work; cool use of dynamics in the music; a lot of things going on at once; I think one has to listen to this as a complete work -- some songs wouldn't necessarily be something that would be affecting on their own but fit in very well when you listen to the whole album.  I played a couple of songs off this last night for an Australian in a trance music bar in a rural outpost in Japan and he thought it sounded very British but the Flaming Lips are from Oklahoma.  They don't make albums like this anymore...not many, anyway.
