The Official Radiohead Thread

Surell · 10-30-2012, 11:42 PM

Well any album's gonna have one fan. and I do mean any. Even the Bends, which is damn good in its own right, doesn't get as much attention as albums such as Kid A or OKC - not many albums do, really. Even Amnesiac probably gets a little more hype than their debut and sophomore releases.

However, I will agree that out of any Radiohead album besides the newest, it probably gets looked over easiest. It came at a weird time with no, pardon the term, gimmick for it. I think TKOL has had a similar problem, but i think they're both great, the latter being slightly better.

I discovered them just recently.
An american girl friend of my kids suggested me to listen to a song called NO SURPRISE. And to read the lyrics, too.
I did it.
My opinion?
ONE OF THE MOST TRUE, HONEST, CRUEL, CINICAL and musically catchy songs ever listened in my life (and I am over 40 ....) .
I listen to this song and I see all the people I know, myself included ....

This is why they're so great.

Voted for OKC as hard as I could.

Really? Videotape's one of the only songs i would call great from that album and i think it's stripped down sound really makes its impact.

I think Scatterbrain is supposed to be a part of the developing sunrise of the album, as it and Wolf at the Door, though the latter has an ominous feel, have more brilliance than a lot of the songs that proceed it. Also, it's purty.

that atoms for peace single was pretty cool

B-Side:

That B side was underwhelming, but that's obviously a radio rip, so perhaps I will like it better when I hear a decent version of it.

Jonny Greenwood talks unreleased RH songs in Uncut this month. I can get scans if anyone's interested?

In context with a new album, nop

He also talks about composing, which is what most of the interview is about.
