I don't think you could be making any art in the atmosphere that we're in now with the war and the different ways people feel about the Bush administration and all that without having some things that sort of, not address that specifically, but address this whole idea of what you do with power. When is the time to have mercy And when is the time to be aggressive I think we have some things on the record that I hope will stand the test of time long after this war is over and all these young guys have come home.

We recorded 100 tracks of our beloved pedal steel guitar and 100 guitar overdubs for the music, and for the vocals we stacked all these crazy harmonies. We wanted to add different layers that people might expect from us, but we tried hard not to change the fundamental nature of the song.

People have given me the freedom and believe in me enough to say if I want to do these things that I will find a way to make it work. I don't know if they think I'm crazy, drug damaged or just an old weirdo.
Wayne Coyne
They'd say, 'The Flaming Lips And you won't believe it They're from Oklahoma City' as if we're from outer space, ... And we thought, 'That's a good thing.'
Wayne Coyne
We made music that wouldn't be in synch.
