prerelcdflipsStereoboard.com's choice for this weeks CD of the Week is the new album from a band that has been around for over 2 decades, but found commercial success recently with their previous album 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots'.

The new album from The Flaming Lips is an equally emphatic offering, an epic sounding album from start to finish, with great lyrics.

From HMV:

Set to be hailed as one of 2006's most vital records, 'At War With The Mystics', the new studio album from The Flaming Lips, was recorded at Tarbox Road Studios with producer David Fridmann (Mercury Rev, Mogwai).

The band – Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd and Michael Ivins – were inspired to pursue a more vehement sound after covering the Black Sabbath classic 'War Pigs', with the band experimenting with volume and intensity to provide a thrilling and exhilarating follow up to their critically acclaimed album 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots'.
