The Greatest Music
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
The 727th greatest album of all time
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is a 2002 album by The Flaming Lips that blends neo-psychedelia, psychedelic pop, electronic textures and alternative rock into a loosely narrated concept about a character named Yoshimi and her fight with pink robots. The music pairs intimate, often plaintive vocals with shimmering synths, drum machine patterns and orchestral touches, moving between upbeat, melodic pop and slower, downtempo passages, and features songs such as "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Part 1" and "Do You Realize??".
