Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is the tenth studio album by American rock band the Flaming Lips, released on July 16, 2002, by Warner Bros. Records. The album saw the band pursue a more electronic direction than previous efforts, incorporating acoustic guitars and rhythms influenced by hip hop and top 40 music. The album was well-received critically and commercially, helping the band break into popularity, and was adapted into a musical in 2012.[2] In 2022, the band announced a 20th anniversary box set version of the album and that they would perform the album in full twice in early 2023.[3]
Wayne Coyne described the band's 2002 LP Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots as a set of "storytelling acid rock"...
