Why no love for HTTT? It'd be 10/10 if it wasn't for The Gloaming and A Punchup At A Wedding.

a punchup at a wedding is awesome.

Ehh, it's pretty weak compared to the rest of the album. And The Gloaming is probably Radiohead's worst song IMO. It's pretty out of place.

I just bought this CD, and I can tell just by
the name that the Gloaming is terrible.

How can you judge a song just by it's title?

Those are some of the best tracks on the whole damn album.

I never had a problem with the Gloaming... probably HTTT's most abstract terack in alot of ways, and no, not its best, but hey its still an interesting cool kinda track IMO... there is a distinctive lack of love for HTTT on this board, which has just been duly noted...but really HTTT is not a bad album, nor a sub par Radiohead album at all. I think its just going through rejection pains because it was the "last" lbum and people grew tired of it... some of the same people possibly raved about it when it was brand spanking new...

I saw quite a few HTTT tracks live and BOY were those amazing. So I may have a slight bias to HTTT for those reasons alone... there's some of my greateswt concert memories sitting on that album...

But if the songs themselves weren't amazing those memories would have never been made...

You're wrong on every level.

debaserr · 06-24-2009, 10:58 PM

i think treefingers is the worst IMO.

Lucky.

I can't put any of their individual songs down... usually cause they're buitl into to albums in such a way that they seem integral parts to me (IMO, at least) so picking out this or that track out as "weak" or whatever seems kinda pointless...
