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. 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.
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.

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.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I bought that. my "in rainbows" diskbox is one of my most prized possesions. I was really sold when I heard the set comes with a bit of the actual master tape from the actual recording session. Excited to hear what the two additional songs are. Doesn't ship until September...nausearockpig wrote:Bonus version of album coming with two extra tracks - one of which is supposedly called "B Wind"
So I've praised it enough- the one thing I hate is the title. "A Moon Shaped Pool???" Doesn't strike me.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
In rainbows, a moon shaped pool...I like the moon
I thought it was lame when I heard that was the new album's name. But at this time of the day, I just don't care about it. I care more about the music.

Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
is " a moon shaped pool" a lyric of one of the songs?
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
a moon shaped pool is just a round pool. fuck those guys.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
so have you downloaded it yet??!?!?!?!?! What do you think?????? I'm laying on the floor in my living room in my underwear, drinking a beer, listening to this for the fifth time.perkana wrote:In rainbows, a moon shaped pool...I like the moon

if it is i haven't caught it yet.nausearockpig wrote:is " a moon shaped pool" a lyric of one of the songs?
apparently it's the name of the stanley donwood piece that they used for the album cover. They just kept the same name.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
i disagree. Jacuzzis are shaped like the moon. pools are shaped like those pressed pennies i use to get from knotts berry farm when i was a kid.creep wrote:a moon shaped pool is just a round pool. fuck those guys.
"pressed penny shaped pool" I like it.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I listened to it on the BBC6 site. I'm going to listen to it all this week before I decide to actually download it. I'm going to try to listen to it lying on my bed. Heard some people found it very soothing. Sonny was saying that if you buy the vinyl you get it until June. It comes with a digital download but you can't listen to it until you get the vinyl. What the fuck is that?sinep wrote:so have you downloaded it yet??!?!?!?!?! What do you think??????

P.S. I liked it better than KOL. I find this one more cohesive.
Re: The all-new Radiohead Thread
I miss sonny! How do you communicate with him???
I was friends with him on Facebook but he unfriended me.
I think creep unfriended me too. :-(

This is their best offering since OK Computer. I love it......even if I was a bit dubious when I first heard Burn the Witch.

I thought that the video detracted from the song.
