Although Hold Your Head doesn’t go through any drastic shift as it goes along, I think that the band still does a good job of keeping the track interesting which is partially due to Coyne’s performance throughout the song and partially due to the music itself
As a song by itself, the track only gets better as it progresses and I think that is yet another hint from Hit To Death In The Future Head of where the band would be going with their sound

  Hold Your Head is a song by The Flaming Lips and the final track to appear on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with some incredibly grand and building percussion, I almost get the impression as if I’m listening to the score for a film during an epic scene.
  Coyne comes in with the vocal melody for the track with a delivery that initially starts out somewhat bland but gets better
  as it builds up and also includes an echo of itself.

  As a note about the music, it retains a fairly moderate tempo and pace to it, but it certainly ...
- has the most grand sound out of any of the tracks on this album and possibly out of any of the preceding albums from the Flaming Lips.
  
  Overall, although I find Hold Your Head to be quite enjoyable, I question its position in the track listing.
  For some reason, this track simply doesn’t strike me as an album closer so the album lacks a sense of closure.
  Despite this, this is only a minor flaw and is
  really only relevant if listening to the album as a whole.

  Although the band is able to achieve a grand and enjoyable sound, they keep it within reason and don’t drag out the song for longer than necessary.
