#GreatAlbums1990s - #TheFlamingLips – #TheSoftBulletin (1999). The confetti can(n)on of sound the Lips launched over eight previous albums hit the bullseye on this quieter, more focused set full of loss, longing, and affirmations of change. A millennial spirit looms on “Waitin’ for a Superman” and “Suddenly Everything Has Changed,” as the Lips orchestrate instruments and vocals for an effect many have likened to a '90s Pet Sounds. #Albums, #Music, #1990s, #Reviews, #Rock, #AlternativeRock

I know this one is a product of hard times, but the overwhelming resilience always makes me hear it as a doggedly optimistic album.

First concert was when this album came out. The story that goes along with this song had everyone bawling and then singing along. I've never witnessed anything like it since. And I've seen them a few times. Best in headphones. Spotify has a clearer version.
