The multi-layered, smooth, cool, lush, beautifully arranged masterwork by the psychedelic zealots The Flaming Lips. This record really marked the pinnacle plateau of their career by brilliantly mixing various musical elements while making it sound freshly complete and all Lips. The Soft Bulletin is the perfect closer to the 1990's, which it inadvertently opened the floodgates for the 2000's, creating dozens of copycat bands for the decade to come, it has taken music ten years to recover from this album's mammoth hangover and become original again.
