Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
Great song.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
Really? I hate it. I've not liked much of what they have done since OK Computer. At least Trumpton v the Wickerman distractss you from the music.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I actually like the new song.
I can't help but hear Kate Bush all over this, starting with the birdsong, then the very similar bass line from Hounds Of Love, then the vague suggestion of the tune from Misty...doubt anybody else here agrees. Oh, and from around the 1:05 point, I think Thom Yorke really sounds like Jimmy Sommerville(Bronski Beat).
Here are the KB songs I was talking about:
Misty
Hounds of Love

I like it but find the stuff they've done since OK Computer to be able to be lumped in one category / genre ( no idea what to call it but it's all kinda samey samey ).. Keen for the new record.

Yeah it has a lot of bleeps and boops. Ah well good on them for trying something different. Seems to be to the liking of a lot of people. I wonder if there's a radiohead version of this place?

It's probably not as cultured, bitchy or refined as this place

Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
new song/video is aweeeeeeeeeezome i love it.
rumor is they're going to be touring with a string section. I guess there are tweets from a violinist that collaborates with johnny for his film scores that show that he's rehearsing for a tour.
i'm excited.

Turns out I'm a member there.....
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I liked the other one better.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I regret not getting a ticket now. Didn't they have a string section for KOL? I remember seeing a big band on stage.sinep wrote:new song/video is aweeeeeeeeeezome i love it.

Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
New record comes out today no? I like they way they do this, potter away quietly and then BAM! out comes a new record. No hype, no months of BS talking, no "this is gonna be amazing, go viral"...
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
It's a masterpiece. It's quintessential Radiohead. I'm on my fourth listen through and still digesting it all.
I'd call it the "darkest/bleakest" Radiohead album. Thom's breakup with his girlfriend of 23 years is obviously a huge driver to the mood of the album. "True Love Waits" as the album closer brought tears to my eyes.
"Just don't leave"
"Don't leave"
"Don't leave"
The entire album and absurdly short supporting tour feels like Thom's "swan song" for Radiohead which I obviously hope isnt true.

They had the second drummer for King of Limbs. The guy from Portishead. He's confirmed that he's on this tour as well.perkana wrote:I regret not getting a ticket now.

Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
Some of the songs aren't new are they? Wasn't True Love Waits on that live thing they put out? and Identikit has been played live for a few years now too? Since 2012?sinep wrote:It's a masterpiece. It's quintessential Radiohead. I'm on my fourth listen through and still digesting it all.

According to Wiki, True Love Waits was first played in 1995. There you go

Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
Bonus version of album coming with two extra tracks - one of which is supposedly called "B Wind"
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
Why being such a sourpuss nausea? It's the first time they've recorded it. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I really liked it. I know Eric A did
The Radiohead record created such a profound silence in my home just after it finished. It created a space and then left it empty. Great.
Colin Greenwoods work on this one, in addition to its creativity, is so economical and elegant - things I much appreciate in bass playing.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I'm being sarcastic about you being a sourpuss, I guess I just don't care about stuff like that

Heheheh...... I find it annoying when bands have songs that they play live for years and years but don't release studio versions of them (Whores, Trip Away......) or do years later on an album - kinda makes the album a group of unrelated songs rather than one coherent "album"- mind you that may not have been Radiohead's intention, and all they were doing was giving fans what they wanted, 20 years later.. .who knows.. Good on them, keen to get the new record, not so keen on the Special Edition so far being the only version with those two extra songs.. That shits me....
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
Yes that exactly.perkana wrote:The Radiohead record created such a profound silence in my home just after it finished. It created a space and then left it empty. Great.
And only three of the songs are "new" in that they haven't been played live.
