Don't do what I did with the Beatles. 12k plays

I actually find "Motion Picture Soundtrack" to be one of the album's bigger flaws...the melodrama is excessive and the lyrics aren't great either. Apparently they wrote it before "Creep" and worked it into a new arrangement, it certainly sounds like it. Not to mention that it comes out of nowhere after "Morning Bell".

i seemed to have done something similar to them also... like 6 months of probably 75% beatles.

I've been going 6 months with about .75% Beatles.
I'm bored with Revolver and I'm too lazy to get around to listening to White Album or DL'ing another one.

Oh, and I've decided Kid A is Radiohead's best song.

I had a dream last night that Paul Gilbert wrote all of the songs off The Bends and The Bends had been a cover album...

It's actually one of my favorites on the record. I guess I'm not one to pay attention to much to the words in music and generally opt to pay attention to the sound itself instead, and I think it sounds incredibly beautiful.

I never paid attention to the lyrics of Motion Picture Soundtrack myself... as with most of Kid A I tend to tune in to the main feel of the tracks, its not a lyrics heavy album as far as my listening experience goes... but even then I can't fault Motion Picture soundtrack that much... I mean its not like they're throwing out cliches Bon Jovi style...

I wanna get b sides now.

Kid A and OKC are the two best. I have no clue how people love The Bends so much, I would consider it second to last :/
