    Musik, Die Schwer Zu Twerk rarely comes down from the krautrock klouds over the course of its 30-minute running time.

    It’s hard to make an argument for anything here being essential for the Flaming Lips’ career arc, but, it is a side project, and as side projects go, this one is strong.

    A surprisingly cerebral triumph.

    Electric Würms as a whole: cool and weird with some great moments, but little structure or direction.

    A faithful if condensed cover of Yes' "Heart Of The Sunrise," sweetly sung by Drozd, concludes what is essentially a likeable frivolity, and a stop gap before their next Flaming masterwork. [Sep 2014, p.73]

    On Muzik Die Schwer Zu Twerk, they're underdeveloped, and the result isn't nearly electric enough and just too perplexing.

If you like Zaireeka and Embryonic - you are in for a treat! Good times indeed! After the fallout from firing their drummer, it looks like they are clearing the pallet. Expand
