Subjects for further review: "Race For the Prize" by the Flaming Lips
Try it with headphones (the Lips are made for 'em, anyway) - I never realized how the drums, on the non-verses, are so fucking loud. But the entire messily gorgeous/gorgeously messy song, their ultimate triumph, is layered with nuances you can only catch through 'phones. There's a very direct line between Brian Wilson and Wayne Coyne.
