Feb 26, 2014This is the first Flaming Lips album for me to listen to. So i don't have anything to compare it to. And judging this album on its own merits, i say that i loved it immensely.
I love the atmospheric feel it has. Very few tracks in here (2 or 3) can be considered forgettable, all the rest is beautiful.
If you love psychedelic music, this is highly recommended. -

Jun 23, 2015After an intense listening session, my lips feel rather flaming and raw, but it was totally worth it. Not everyone will be crazy enough to enjoy it, but I found it wasn't so terror-ble.

Apr 17, 2013Definitely the Lips' darkest work, It's a good album but don't expect any foot tapping or melodically driven music. It's somber and atmospheric the whole way through.

Jan 9, 2014The Terror is aptly named. This is pretty much an hour of background music, which might be the point. You can pop it in your car's CD player and forget about it.

Classic Rock MagazineJun 21, 2013It's still awesome, of course, just don't expect to enjoy it. [May 2013, p.85]

Jun 4, 2013There’s nothing to dislike about their creeping dread, but it’s hard to engage with it.

May 15, 2013The Terror is simply the latest (and darkest) report from those reaches, one that generates holographic intensities of the dire straits this band has seen throughout its 30-year career.
