Telepathic Surgery is the third studio album by The Flaming Lips, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music). Beginning life as a concept album, the band initially set out to create a thirty minute sound collage. The plan was later scrapped, however the remnants of this original idea are evident within the album's loose, meandering structure and the epic "Hell's Angel's Cracker Factory".

"Chrome Plated Suicide" stands out as the most accomplished recording, possibly due to being based on Guns N' Roses' critically-acclaimed "Sweet Child O' Mine". "Drug Machine in Heaven" was rerecorded and released on Sub Pop records as the group's first single, the name was shortened to "Drug Machine".

Similar to many albums of its time, the CD release of Telepathic Surgery had a track listing differing from its LP release due to the time restraints of a single vinyl LP.

The album was reissued and remastered as part of the Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid compilation featuring a shorter version of "Hell's Angels Cracker Factory".
