Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Full Title - The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg. A two-disc set of Flaming Lips recordings from 1989 to 1991, reissues the complete In a Priest Driven Ambulance and adds (in effect) 23 bonus tracks - comprising B-sides (from the singles 'Drug Machine' and 'Unconsciously Screamin') plus a collection of four-track demos often bootlegged as The Mushroom Tapes. Of the extra material, the B-sides are best, especially a pair of covers - one of the Sonics' sullen garage nugget 'Strychnine' and the other of Elvis Costello's '(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.' Restless Records. 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Lips LP "...Priest Driven..." plus more, January 1, 2004
By E. Bartoszak "Media Geek" (murrell's inlet, sc United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got turned onto the Lips not too long ago, and have been searching for all of their stuff, now I've come to this collection. Included is the "Priest Driven Ambulance" LP, and many bonus tracks. The 1st disc is the album, the second the bonus stuff. And I stand up and say "Yeah". Great early stuff. A lot of it is drugged out, yes, but it's still worthy Lips. Some of the bonus tracks are more raw, as they should be. A cd purchase this year which I don't regret in the least. That's important. I wish more bands produced that response from me. Definitely a must for a Lips fanatic, and it's even a good start for a newbie, since the album and the extras are equally good. Hope this helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harebrained Sophistication, October 11, 2002
By Wm. Mars (Lancaster, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I was expecting a collection of rare masterpieces, but I got exactly what was advertised (Out takes and demos). After the initial disappointment faded I discovered some lovely gems of harebrained sophistication. I recommend this for any Lips fans, and if you do not own In a Priest driven Ambulance I highly recommend this instead. There is no better way to face universal indifference. Above all, Wayne's illustrative inscriptions and the beautiful packaging make this a must have.
Battle on!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, July 14, 2005
The first time I listened to this album, it sounded like a bunch of lo fi noise. But once I sat down with a nice pair of head phones and just listened, I was able to appreciate what a mature, gorgeous album this is.

Yes, there is a lot of guitar noise. But the noise is not an end in itself. It is a tool that the Flaming Lips deploy with surgical precision. In this album's best moments, feedback effects laden guitar riffs alternate with periods of unsettling quiet to create a heightened sense of dramatic tension. This tension, which is sustained for most of the album, turns what would otherwise be a bunch of very catchy country and blues inspired melodies into an edgy psychedelic masterpiece.

It may take a few listens to really appreciate what the Lips are doing here; but, in my opinion, the reward is well worth it.
