The "Balloons" EP compilation and the bonus material disc are good for what they are and the live album, despite having (probably to a degree intentionally) bad sound, rocks hard and shows what an experimental, freaky psychedelic pop rock band The Flaming Lips were. And "Clouds Taste Metallic"? Well, it's "Clouds Taste Metallic", not a perfect album by any means but a fun record, one of The Lips best ones.
