I have never liked anything by the flaming lips as much as I love this 
album. 
 I used to describe the feeling I had when first hearing Race for the Price
as being scared. Of course I was not afraid literally, but it was something
completely new for me. The whole feel of the song gave me chills also. Sadly I never enjoyed later cds of theirs as I did this one, over and over again.
