The title says it all. From the otherworldly opener ”Can’t Help Falling in Love,” to the narcotized 16-minute closing track, ”Cop Shoot Cop,” Ladies and Gentlemen, We’re Floating in Space is beautifully weightless and way out.

It’s very unfortunate how this album got completely sidelined and overshadowed by the mainstream popularity of Radiohead’s first magnum opus “OK Computer”, being both released on the same date of June 16th 1997. However I urge you to give this album a ... read more
Classic Review!
The instrumentation on this record is truly gorgeous and the laid back vocals add lots of needed charisma to this already great piece of music. The opening title track is a great opener as it sets the album off perfectly. The vocals are absolutely great and the instrumentals are astonishing to say the least. The next track “Come Together” is another great cut off this album and it’s able to remain consistent until the song “Home of the Brave” and ... read more
