Here is what people are saying about the The Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart
4 Star Rating  "Need More Pixies?"2008-06-10
- Reviewed By mwarren122
The Flaming Lips. No other band is like them, they say. Well, I have never heard every band out there, but rest assured, The Flaming Lips are a pretty good band. This is my first album by The Lips, and I say that it may just convince me to get more of their material.

The Flaming Lips take inspiration from abrasive and melodic artists such as the Pixies, Physcedelic
and quirky pop music to make up their own kind of music. This album, it seems, is
dominated by more alternative rock, very noisy alternative rock like The Pixies
and Sonic Youth, only more catchy and more poppy. The best description I have
for this album is incredibly abrasive pop rock, or at least the gist of it. I don't hear many other instruments in this album, which may be a shame, I guess. Instead, the "trippy" sound comes from the sometimes weird guitar lines, distorted sounds,
and the vocals, alone. You can her some obscure noises floating in the background, but it's mostly handled by the standard set up. From what I heard, later albums are less guitar driven (though the description for Clouds Taste Metallic sounds interesting).

None of the songs on this album miss the mark at what they do. Backed with bonzo-like drumming, these guys give out quirky, pop songs, the way pop songs should be like, period. They can rock out pretty well too. Pilot Can At The Queer of God is a booming, driving, abrasive song. The guitars HOWEL. I like the acoustic songs as well, the cover of Plastic Jesus and Chewin THe Apple of Your Eye. Kind of hard to describe each song for me, but definitely something that's worth listening to.

Oh, and the lyrics are pretty cool too. Look at some of them online, and they are rather quirky.

Recommended if you want to hear some of the best Pixies style rock. No, the bands aren't the same, and both are pretty different, but a band that's influenced by The Pixies is a good thing.

8.0/10

Question: Have you really listened to the lyrics? I mean sure, you dont get a lot of boom bang biz-oww, but these are really deep and often humorous songs.

Own it, love it, you should buy it!
 
4 Star Rating  "Not as recognized as later works, but still great (4.5)"2007-07-06
- Reviewed By lifeofcandlelight
Sometimes a band's better work can still be overshadowed by others. It seems that the public and the press tend to value The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots much more, and as great as those are, I feel that this is about on par with them. It is not quite as soundscape-ish and not as conceptual, but just as good. The record actually kind of reminds me of what Jane's Addiction would be like if they were a dream pop band.

The most famous of the 11 songs is easily "She Don't Use Jelly." That one's quite clever, and while it got them known as one hit wonders it doesn't mean the rest of the songs aren't catchy, or even good. I really love "Be My Head" with its effortless pop melodies and the flop follow-up "Turn It On" is a great track as well. The songs still have a psychedelic feel and I think that if you like the later Lips works that you'll like this. It's a noisy pop record on the whole, but then there's more gentle tracks like "Chewin' the Apple of Your Head" as well.

I recommend this to fans of the later work or good alternative music in general. Speaking of which, in spite being released in the "grunge" era this was actually kind of the antidote, with songs that aren't really dark at all and have a somewhat lighthearted feel. I think you too will find enjoyment here.

- Reviewed By User: A2SIW0IF3CX1V0
This is a great album for those of us who "discovered" TFL during the Yoshimi or At War period. This one really betrays their punk roots, but with glimmers of the band they are today. Pretty cool.

A sound that's far less polished then more recent works, but well worth a listen nonetheless.
 
5 Star Rating  "one of the most significant releases of the 90s (really!!!)"2006-07-24
- Reviewed By User: A1XS3SKQCJOL5X
in coming up with a value judgement on this record i have tried to steer clear of comparisons to any of the lips' other output, and view it in a sort of cultural freeze frame taking into consideration things like the grunge rock i still can't get enough of, the popular television programming and the overall atmosphere of the clinton 90s. what i came up with was that this record, probably more than any other, embodies the overwhelming sense of relief and newfound optimism that happened with the new administration and the "end" of the cold war. i may have said in other reviews that the clinton 90s are a time more distant from us at the present than even the cold war 70s and 80s...it was a wonderful era where a man was free to stick a needle in his arm and sing a jobim bossa nova over guitar feedback if he so chose and not worry about a draft or nuclear threats, etc. Wayne and company have the same ethic as the above-mentioned band and on this record they created something which i consider to be locked in a tie for the best radio-type song representative of the clinton era: she don't use jelly, of course, with the other standout (in my mind, at least) being interstate love song. the entire album features the crisp sound and elastic bass and guitar fuzztones which made the single famous, and it stands in sharp contrast to the flood of grunge releases from those couple of years because of the sonic clarity and cheerful vibe, and, to my ears (even as a dyed-in-the-wool, flannel-wearing ed vedder fanboy), it pretty much trumps all of them in terms of pure inspiration and consistency. now, to be fair, the lips are not my favorite band, nor is stp (that honor i reserve for crusty old mark lanegan and the screaming trees on sst). this is not my favorite lips album either (that would be yoshimi)...she don't use jelly is not even my favorite song on the record (i like chewin the apple of your eye for its unique chord progression and sparse acoustic guitar work...it is the only real break from the veritable deluge of fuzz); all i am saying is that this album is an extremely significant expression of the time period in which it was recorded and as such it has monumental value which is pretty much undeniable regardless of one's personal preferences.
