The all-new Radiohead Thread

Great song.

[Bandit72]

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.

[Artemis]

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.

...is like a depressed car alarm.

Hahahahahahhaha

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

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.

I liked the other one better.

I regret not getting a ticket now. Didn't they have a string section for KOL? I remember seeing a big band on stage.

[nausearockpig]

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"...

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.

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?

[nausearockpig]

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

[nausearockpig]

Bonus version of album coming with two extra tracks - one of which is supposedly called "B Wind"

[perkana]

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.

[perkana]

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....

Yes that exactly.

And only three of the songs are "new" in that they haven't been played live.
