After the longest break they've had since 1993, Radiohead are geared and ready to show the world what they've got up their sleeves for album number six, which is still untitled.
In late August 2002, the band joined long-time Radiohead producer and "unofficial sixth member" Nigel Godrich in Ocean Way Studios in Los Angeles to begin work. They spent about 2 weeks there and then flew back to Oxford to continue recording in their own studio.
The band wrapped up recording in January and began mixing.
So, how did the sessions go? We've heard some of the horror stories about how the band almost broke up during the recording of both Kid A and Amnesiac. That wasn't the case this time. In interviews, various band members expressed their enthusiasm about how things were going. Phil: "I don't think we've ever felt so self assured in the studio. This time no shit hit the fan. And Thom's voice has been incredible. That's the stand out element for me. He's reminded us that he's in a league of his own."
What will the new album sound like? Well, we kinda got a hint of that last Summer when Radiohead toured Portugal and Spain and premiered a lot of new songs. Ed: "To me, this record feels like the culmination of the best bits of The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac." Ed also had this to say: "Guitars? Yup, there are a few. In fact there’s a bit of everything. It’s sounding really good. It’s like 'We've honed our thing, we've done our thing' so what we're doing feels like the right thing to be doing now. As vague as I am."
What songs will appear on the new album? That we don't know yet. However, Radiohead premiered many new songs last Summer and most of them are expected to make it on the album:
There There Scatterbrain Wolf at the Door Lift Up on the Ladder Punch Up at a Wedding Sail to the Moon Myxamatosis We Suck Young Blood Sit Down, Stand Up Where I End and You Begin Go to Sleep 2+2=5 I Will Go to Sleep I Froze Up Good Morning Mr. Magpie How abou

the title? What's the album going to be called? We were told back in December that the band were throwing around various album titles and two that stuck out were 2+2=5 and Are You Listening? Thom recently said that the title was neither one of these so at this point, we don't know.
Can we expect the album to be released soon? Please? Though nothing has been officially announced concerning release dates, we've been led to believe that we can look forward to a June 2003 release. Unconfirmed release dates are:
JUNE 09, 2003 - EUROPE
JUNE 10, 2003 - USA AND CANADA
that's what's been on there for at least a week now.

The first post is correct.
I think that tracklisting is a pile of crap. There There should have opened and Go to sleep and Sit down stand up should never have made it on there
Where is Up On the Ladder and Lift?
Arrg
Still, looking forward to it.

well, that tracklist takes the cake. put big ideas on there and i can't think of a better album.
i'm interested to see how they'll pull of wolf from the door as the closer, as it isn't stereotypically the radiohead closing song, but i guess that should make it that much better.
this albums going to be awesome.

what a bunch of wankers radiohead are. they made some good albums, i'm not denying that, but expecting their fans to pay £25 for a ticket to see them is absolutely disgusting.
they should be ashamed.

i think the prices are because they dont go the route of "sponsers" like carling who then insist that they sell only thier product and have thier logo everywhere - and as radiohead are fans of the "no-logo" book it makes sense . i'd pay £25 quid if it kept those corporate cocksuckers out of my gig

tits: I remember seeing an early version of "life in a glasshouse" on the "meeting people is easy" video,. which I "think" was recorded just after ok computer. the version on the video was completely acoustic, but the one on the album a few years later was really "old school jazz" and the live versions of like "spinning plates" featured on the "I might be wrong" cd is completely different to the album version too,.. so I think that it's a fair assumption to say that we can expect almost completely new songs opn this album

yea i love that version, it's quite different huh! not totally acoustic.. it has a keyboard. but it's certainly nothing jazz related.
what i wouldn't give for mp3's from some of those ok computer tour soundchecks. some of those songs have never been played live to this DAY! (eg: "last flowers till the hospital" which is like "exit music" meets "CUTW").

oh wow, tons of good music to look forward to this spring..
i listened to the live versions of some of those tracks constantly last summer
why is everyone complaining about $25 tickets? its probably because of the venues they are playing
sigur ros tickets cost $30 up here, but they played at a nice place
arent n*sync tickets like $50 or something?

$25 sadly isn't the same thing as 25 pounds... but i digress because bands seldom have much to do with ticket prices anyway. true, there are bands like fugazi and godspeed who set maximum ticket prices in their contracts ($5 and $12 respectively; ask me to tell you the fugazi lollapalooza story if you're interested), but tickets are set by promoters and other types of managers. i don't think radiohead, sigur ros, etc. charge too much; some of these tours are expensive when you factor in all the lighting, video equipment, etc., not to mention the huge # of ppl who are needed to run a tour (not just the band and one manager). most bands actually lose money touring, including mogwai (see their site's q&a section) and most bands we like/listen to. radiohead probably profit but that's more to do with the fact that they can sell out venues than the ticket price itself. anyway, unless RH start getting all bloated like u2 with their $60+ tickets (or heaven forbid, the rolling stones and barbara streisand) i say stop bitching.

last flowers till the hospital? where did you hear this? i was unaware it ever was recorded in any form at all.
and as for judging the album tracklist, i agree with you. i'm sure radiohead are fully aware of how to track an album of songs they wrote themselves, so wait till the album comes out to pass judgement on song placement.
i think it looks ace though.

thats pretty good roundup of the unreleased songs. theres little on there i haven't seen before but its nice to have it all in one place.
i will isn't played before the letterman segment in meeting people is easy though. its played near the end of the japan section right before thom gets into an argument with jonny and the other band members.

The NME can "exclusively" reveal the inspiration behind the title. Yeah, about as "exclusive" as my a$$.
clicky
They also claim here to be the first to publish the tracklisting yesterday. I'm sure that's not true. And even if it is, surely it's not worth bragging about.
