Just got the 24 bit Wavs, not realizing I can't download
zip files on my iPad.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Checking out bits on
bleep. I like what I'm hearing.

I only gave the album a quick listen, and it was definitely
my fave.

grandiose, majestik, different, compelling, diverse, a new
road again with familiar touches. Man i love this band!!!


Could very well be the album of the decade.

I really love the video clips too.

Now much listening to be done. :))

Loving this.

I know since Booth and James dismissed their work it takes
guts to admit liking them in our circles; well I fucking
love them. Have done since 1995.

Around the time I was listening to the Garbage ep, and Anvil
Vapre on repeat.

I understand why they wouldnt like radiohead very much, its
an album i like quite a bit, i wasn't fussed on In Rainbows
and kings of limbs was alright this is much better than
those two i reckon

Sean mostly talked about the disadvantages of being in a
band, which I understand.

Just about the more you are, the more you compromise your
indentity.

They do tracks alone, often, ae. Though I don't feel
radiohead compromise much either. It's an exercise anyway.

It actually wasn't. It was meant to be funny, a tad. Not
insulting, yet relevant to your question, and why it meant
something to you.

ah ok, yes i think Thom can be a bit of a twat to the
others, like ive seen him throw a bit of a strop on stage,
he seems a bit petulant for a fully grown man, perhaps thats
just the pressure of being infront of loads of people

This is about the music, no?

He used to purposely wind up the bullies at school, get
beaten to a pulp. That's what I like to remember, the
bravado. I mean fuck Coldplay, or Muse.

Listened to a few tracks my brother played me and was really
impressed. Seemed a little more sophisticated than anything
from past albums. Really love the orchestral elements in
those I have listened to, it's richer/more perfected than in
other past songs.

yeah lush strings on the numbers talented composer
greenwood, i like tinker tailor song alot sort of reminds me
of the tourist.

yes very solid album, i would imagine they have recorded
more stuff though being 5 years in and out of the studio,
would like them to release another album next year like they
did with Kid A/amnesiac,

yeah its very good song, i think the lyrics make me cringe a
bit when he says the people have the power, bit to hippy for
my liking, but in the context of the album i dont notice it,
usually he isnt very direct in his lyric writing and its
more ambiguous

Yeah, my brother said he thought Greenwood was really
responsible for the overall quality of the album.

Maybe his soundtrack work has helped him develop?

yeah i think he is classically trained, he is one of these
musicians who is actually really good going into a different
discipline, its quite rare to be a remarkable guitarist and
a classical composer, his films scores are really good

i think the weakness is when they try to introduce
electronic music into the mix, its not bad but not as good
as it could be half the time, but i suppose thats because
they were a traditional band for so long, this new album
incorporates it better, little twinkly ambient synth sounds
in the back of the mix which really works rather than white
noise modular synth drunk snare sounds all the time

I think that sums up well what I have listened to so far.
Has far more colour to it than some of the colder electronic
elements of recent albums - of which I have really enjoyed.

What is that supposed to mean, like a crescent moon shaped
lake or a stupid full moon or what? Oh, no a pool. Ok, like
a pool shaped like a dumb moon I guess. Thanks "radiohead"
for making me think of this dumbness at all.

I know since Booth and James dismissed their work it
takes
guts to admit liking them in our circles


In my case it was just taste change. I used to enjoy
listening to Ms Gudmundsdottir's or Mr Yorke's screaming or
moaning a lot. But then one day I just couldn't listen to
their stuff anymore. And that's a shame, cause many
Radiohead tracks after I stopped listening to them [after
Amnesiac] still contain lots of great ideas - but sorry,
Thom's voice or "forced original or strange" lyrics ruin the
sonic experience for me totally.

Fingers crossed for some Anniversary Hits Box Edition with
instrumental versions of all their albums - when they get
fat and old enough to release stuff like that.

Btw how and why brain works the way it works and your life
experiences can change that "music taste" or whatever we
humans call it ? <3 Psychoacoustics.

That was for "Ian".

Listened 4-5 times now; I really like it.

Delicate, subtle, melodic, and rather deep all the while.

I felt like calling it "mature", but after a bit of thought
I've decided the term is shit.

I prefer it on speakers, though a good listen on the cans
revealed quite a bit you miss listening full blast on the
stereo.

Lots of little things I keep discovering, like the fact the
first word on the album is "stay", and the last: "leave".

Yeah I can see what happened to you. It takes to being very
close to the pathos-orientated side of your emotions to deal
with his voice at times.

Still, I'm happy that didn't happen to me, and I can still
stand his voice, which I think on this album is rather
fitting.

Never liked the acoustic versions of True Love Waits for
exactly the reasons you mention.

For the musicians it might be a problem, but for the
listener it can sometimes be a rewarding thing. Sometimes my
ears enjoy the fact four or more souls had to compromise,
had to come to a sort of collective ingredient.

With one producer you might get something more honest, but
listening to five people trying to make something work can
be just as thrilling for the listener, and you get more
personalities (literarily speaking).

Check out the album Junun he did in collaboration with Shye
Ben Tzur, and the Indian ensemble the Rajasthan Express.
Produced by Nigel Godrich.

Not the stuff I usually am into, but it's rather good.

Also, have to say I'm weary of rock stars dabbling in "world
music", but this seems rather honest.

pathos-orientated side of your emotions - yes, good
wording of what I meant, thanks

but how about: I enjoy listening to James Blake again ? and
after years I finally started enjoying Overgrown album and
the Overgrown single [not to mention the awesome dark
sky/sea video] ? still emotions, a lot of them in Blake's
work - but different expression form ? or sounds more honest
than e.g. Rdhd ? [of course I'm judging now which is honest
and which is not haha]

my thing with Radiohead is also how "commercially" big they
got and how alternative/indie they always wanted to look
like imo - as I gathered from their press. I mean bands like
Sonic Youth before they signed to Geffen: when their
attitude back then looked like "it's just music, art, we
don't give a shit about $$"- at least they made it look true
and/or I was young and naive and believed that.

so Thom's involvement in politics, ecology and all that
stuff smelled [?] to me like someone who got rich by selling
his "alternative" style felt [?] guilty [?] and tried to
look like someone very close to and on the level of his teen
[?] student [?] listeners

and maybe all this above I'm yapping about threw both Booth
and James away too ? who knows, who knows ?

you articulated how i feel about radiohead well, i like the
music, but there is some sort of cognative dissonance going
on there somewhere, i think he is very clever how he
presents himself, really he is a very smart businessman
