I used four wireless speakers to finally hear this album that's almost impossible to listen to – and it made my brain hurt (in a good way)

Some albums are considered tough to listen to, but Zaireeka by The Flaming Lips might just be the most challenging of the lot.

While Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music assaults your ears with jagged shards of noise, and Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica often sounds like a work of musical absurdity, Zaireeka is a logistical challenge first and a sonic one second.
