Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the addition of Ronald Jones and Steven Drozd, 'Transmissions From the Satellite Heart' solidified The Flaming Lips' incredibly quirky, noise pop brilliance. The album balances surreal, drug-tinged narratives with heavily distorted, highly melodic neo-psychedelia that feels both playful and chaotic.
