An engrossing and intimate portrait of the Oklahoma-based psychedelic pop band the Flaming Lips, cult heroes to millions of indie-rock fans.In July 2002, the Flaming Lips released an ambitious album called Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, which merged elements of orchestral pop, electronic dance music, and old-fashioned psychedelic rock with lyrical themes that were simultaneously poignant and philosophical and supremely silly. The album sold a million copies worldwide, introduced the Flaming Lips to a mass audience, and made them one of the best-known cult bands in rock history. Staring at Sound is the tale of the Flaming Lips's fascinating career (which, in reality, began in 1983) and the many colorful personalities in their orbit, especially Wayne Coyne, their charismatic and visionary founder. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with the band, it follows the Flaming Lips through the thriving indie-rock underground of the 1980s and the alternative-rock movement of the early '90s, during which they found fans in such rock legends as Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, and Devo, and respected peers in such acts as the White Stripes, Radiohead, and Beck. It concludes with exclusive coverage of the creation of the group's latest album, At War with the Mystics.

My new go to jeans!!!
5'6", 235lbs, my jeans from LB were mostly size 18 - these 18 fit just as nicely if not better. They are a little long but since I wear boots every day working in the construction field, they do not drag. Love the extra high waist. Don't feel like I bare all when bending over. Needed to replace my jeans from a high dollar plus sized company that keep wearing thin in the thigh but hate the $60-$80 price per pair... again... I work in construction. First I just bought one pair. LOVED THEM the first time I wore them. After their first wash, they were just as great. No color bleed and no shrinking. I immediately ordered two more pair. This is the first pair of jeans I have fallen in love with for years due to their comfort. Appear to be of good quality. I think I look amazing in them which is not something I use often to describe myself. Don't appear to stretch too much during wear. I usually don't review products, but I know how frustrating finding a good pair of jeans can be, especially for larger ladies. I am so excited about and happy with these jeans, I just had to share.

Cute, good quality. Wish there were more sizes available.
Size: 20, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
Only 4 stars because once again, sizing for women's jeans isn't telling the truth/whole truth/nothing but the truth. I can wear a 20 in other jeans and they're sagging on me by midday. Some 20's feel like 18's. I don't know man. But sizing aside, these jeans are SUPER cute. And I just know that when I am able to sit in them without suffocating ... ladies, you know what I'm saying 😆 ... they're going to be so comfortable too. The material feels like really nice quality. They aren't true high rise but high enough to hold everything together. More like a medium high rise. I was really bummed they didn't have a 22. But I guess this is incentive. I'll order some amazon exercise clothing and work out until these fit me. I'd say they're on the 1/2 size too small of being true to size. But that's not really a fair assessment when no two different brands of jeans are the same in any capacity. If you're positive what size jeans you wear then I 100% recommend these. I can't wait to fit into mine.

Must buy. Flattering and comfortable
Size: 8, Color: Classic Medium Wash
Great fit! These jeans are the most comfortable jeans I have purchased in years. Fabric is soft and has some stretch so my the end of the day you are not feeling like a sausage. The cut is very flattering and the quality is better than many of the more expensive jeans on the market.

Great jeans for this price!
I was hesitant to buy jeans on Amazon but I thought I'd give these a try since I've had trouble finding a boot cut jeans that I liked. I ordered my true size 29" waist, size 8 regular length and they fit true to size for me. I'm 5'3" so I have to wear about a 1" heel, which I like for a boot cut. They have a decent amount of stretch (but not too much) so they are very comfortable. Wearing these with heels makes my legs look nice and long so they are really flattering. Mine are dark blue rinse and I'm going to buy another pair in black because I like these so much! Good job, Amazon

Polyester in the jeans
I did not take a photo in these jeans because I did not intend to keep them, however, they do fit very well. They are true to size and great for tall women. However, the reason why I removed two stars and the reason why I did not keep them is the fabric content. There is a new development in denim these days where brands are changing the fiber content of denim to create a more inexpensive fabric. I do not agree with this and will not keep a pair of jeans that have polyester in them. Jeans have always been 100% cotton since the beginning of time. Now we have added spandex to them so that they stretch a little bit, which is great. So, your jeans should all be 98% cotton with 2% spandex, if they have spandex in them. If not, they should be 100% cotton. If you find a pair of jeans and look at the fiber content, and they have added in polyester, run. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I live in a very warm climate in South Florida. I cannot and will not wear jeans that have polyester in them. It makes them itchy, scratchy, and hot. I could tell immediately when I tried these on that they had polyester in them, and I immediately took them off and put them back in the bag for the return pile. I highly suggest that Amazon rework the fiber content on these jeans and charge just a little bit more because I’d rather pay five more dollars and have the jeans with no polyester in them.
Aside from that, they are great jeans, but they are a little bit stiff. I don’t know what they would be like after one wash because I did not keep them.
