yes i accidentaly glimpsed on one of the track names.. it's new radiohead so this thread IS tempting however i do not want the album to be RUINED as seen with draft hype here .. gnaah. |
||||||||

Is this Radiohead? I'm listening to the first track and it sounds like them but it's.... upbeat! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I'm nearly done listening to this... it's very, very nice. I'd say I almost immediately prefer it to any of their other stuff (but then, I wasn't that keen on OK Computer - I liked Kid A/Amnesiac best). I think I'll play it again when it finishes, and I haven't done that with an album for ages. |

Why's it got to be revolutionary? |

it ain't the album version boys&girls... it's an unmastered unmixed leak i hear. it just doesn't flow+there are some differences to the official version.if it was like this i'd be disappointed.thankfully it isn't. |

Sounds good enough to me, so I really don't give a fuck if it's unmastered or not. |

maybe you should calm down and accept that titsworth is rright |

Seems the band don't mind that much... From NME: RADIOHEAD's new album 'HAIL TO THE THIEF' has appeared online - and JONNY GREENWOOD has played down suggestions the album title is a direct attack on GEORGE W BUSH. Over the weekend, the band's sixth album was leaked onto the Internet, prompting fans across the globe to download it. This morning (March 31), bandmember Jonny Greenwood made an appearance on the official Radiohead messageboard, where he said he was "surprised" the record was online, months before its official June 9 release date. When asked what was up, he jokingly replied "the album, apparently". "Colin (Greenwood) called and said it was up, so thought I'd check," he wrote. "I feel bemused, not annoyed. I'm glad people like it, most of all. It's a little earlier than we'd expected, but there it is. Surprised, and still not used to it happening, even after all these years. I worry more that stuff we do won't get released for whatever obscure reason, and I hate the 3 month gap between finish and release. But not enough to leak it myself!" Speaking about the album title, Greenwood said they liked the title 'Hail To The Thief', which is a line on the opening song '2+2=5', in a more general way. As we revealed last week, the phrase was also an anti-George W Bush slogan used by protesters at the end of the controversial election campaign that put him into the White House. The phrase 'Hail To The Thief' was coined by protesters at the end of the 2000, when controversy famously surrounded Bush's rise to office. The battle between Bush and Democrat candidate Al Gore came to a bitter end, with the result in the key state of Florida dogged by recounts, amid allegations of unfairness in the voting process. On the day of his inauguration Bush was greeted in Washington by thousands of protesters with banners, some of who shouted, 'Hail to the thief, our commander in chief'. Jonny explained: "Not sure where all that George Bush stuff came from. Hail is no ins |

Jonny explained: "Not sure where all that George Bush stuff came from. Hail is no insult, really...We just like the contradictory phrases like '2+2=5' and 'Hail to the Thief' and all that." Radiohead return to the UK for a sold-out tour of small venues in May. |

I don't get all the whining. if you don't want to hear it, don't d/l it. don't even read this thread. its as simple as that. :) |

exactly |

Their best album yet. It kicks anything they`ve done to touch. and that says a lot. Radiohead are an unstoppable creative force. I don`t think they are capable of making a shite record. Christ I can't wait till the next one!!! roll on 2005 ha ha |

i like "whining" to be honest. |
||||||||
|

hmm...ill wait but maybe ill download a track or two....just maybe. |

it doesnt matter if anyone dl's it or not... THEY dont care, and its not the final cut... SO WHAT?!? its a preview of things to come... they played these songs out live (most of em) so is THAT cheating???? seriously... you people who think this is some major shame, get with it!!! its like the radio or dubbing tapes for friends... its FREE PROMOTION, something EVERYONE agrees is good!!! |

all i meant was that you should know this isn't the actual album so that you won't get disappointed when you hear it, that's all. their producer godrich said this today: "Its the rough mixes .... some tracks not even finished. aint that a bitch? Not really what I'd want the world to hear, frankly. boo." |
||||||||

don't you understand that some of us actually notice the difference between mp3's and cd audio? that difference in quality is exponentially worse now that it's confirmed these are unmastered and roughly mixed. it doesn't take a psychology expert to know that your first impression is often the most lasting one. even after you buy the cd the songs may never hit you the right way cos you heard them 5-10 times sounding very flat and dry instead of the RICH audio they intended. plus there's definitely something to be said about 1) having the "real thing" in front of you, ie: full packaging w/ artwork and such, and 2) listening to the whole thing IN ORDER, all at once. i know most of you listened to these songs out of order and/or out of context of the full album, which is really ruining it for yourselves. my two fucking cents. |

i agrree fully. |

|
|

I find that the first impression is rarely the lasting one for me. I didn't like OK Computer when I first heard it, now I think it's great. The same goes for Hail To The Thief. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not to be "bitchy" or anything, but i rarely find the first impression to be the lasting one. if that were true, i would hate aphex twin, and, well, radiohead as well. also, my first impression of these songs was from the live versions, which hasn't colored my opinion of them at all. i'll take this for what it is: an interesting insight into the recording process. it makes the wait til june harder because the songs will sound better than they do, and they already sound amazing. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i was just wondering: did any of you think that these tracks might be premature leaks after you initial listening? i just thought "wow, what a consistent atmosphere" :D damn i'm goable! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i felt the same way. i listen to it the third time in a row now, it's great |
||||||||

i'm really happy that "i will" got a studio version. if you don't know "like spinning plates" is apparently a mangled backwards version of i will. if you play both songs at once you can see some of the same steps in the progression. I can see what people are talking about with the first impression thing. The Amnesiac version of I Might Be Wrong was vastly different than the version i heard that was live, it was softspoken instead of aggressive. but i kind of like that, it plays with your head. sure i felt kind of like i was being condemned, but it's one of those things you can point at yourself and laugh at. i don't know how some of you purists survived the 80's and cassette tapes. haha |

i don't know how some of you purists survived the 80's and cassette tapes. haha hehe, true. some even strictly stick to vinyl for some reason (which might actually be a good reason, but does nothing have to do with sound quality) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard the songs of lp5 and lp6 (and "how to.." and "motion.." on lp4, but not the others (on purpose)) live first as well cos the gap between tour and album were just too long in-between tours. but these are the actual studio versions, so if your brain is thinking, this is the album then it just might sound like that in your head forever. but as i said, only some people have their first impression being the lasting one. |

my favs, so far: 2+2=5 sit down, stand up we suck young blood sail to the moon ...and the rest of the album oh, and btw: as a reply to a previous post, i already stated i will be buying the finished product the very day it arrives in stores... so dont go preachy onme here gang. as far as artistic intentions goes, its a PREVIEW... the material is good, and THATS what matters. so calm down and stop taking dumb stuff so seriously. sheesh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and btw: titsworth is full of crap, because i DIDNT like ALOT of the new autechre when i first heard it, and now i do... so apparently your first impression theory is kaka. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man you are fucking dumb. pay attention to when i use such obscure and complicated words and phrases as "some", "a lot", "occasionally", "most", "half", "probably", etc. |
||||||||
|
|

titsworth has a point. lay off the guy. |

"Its the rough mixes .... some tracks not even finished. aint that a bitch? Not really what I'd want the world to hear, frankly. boo." thats nigel godrich. so there you have it. not even a finished album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the "rough mixes" i still like though. it will be interesting to compare the FINISHED album to the one that got leaked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bet the finished album won't be as good. I'm not big on Radiohead but this leaked material, I like. Maybe it's because it's rawer than their usual finished product? I dunno. There's something to be said for not over-producing... when talented musicians get together and make music, you can sand off a lot of the interesting bits if you keep grinding away at the mix until it's "perfect". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well whatever obviously if anyone spent forever tweaking songs youd lose sight of what it originally was. and i seriously doubt radiohead, seeing as theyve been working on music for quite sometime, would overdo it. they didnt nearly spend as much time recording as they did during kid a/amnesiac either. as much as i like the songs, id also like an album with continuation. just not start-stop tracks. i also like kid a and whatever, so to me its *not* overproducing. it sounds absoutely fine. though, this is just me. so yeh. stuff and things. |

thanks for insulting me. i needed that. now i feel a whole lot better about myself, AND i agree with your opinion now. you have enlightened me. i see it all so clearly now. you must be right. i must be wrong. i don't know how i could be so stupid. stupid, stupid, stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, you insult me then whine about it when i insult you back.. good one. |

I LIKE FRIENDS |

I am calling BS on this " not final mix" stuff...They r covering up for thier slipup letting it leak... i love it though |
||||||||

|

|
|
ITS A MASS CONSPIRACY OF RADIOHEadPIC PROPORTIONS. COVER UPS AND LIES FOR NO REASON i thought i trusted my radiohead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever dude, i didnt even insult you... i said your theory was poop. how is that insulting to you as a person? lots of people have poop theories on crap, but that doesn't mean they are idiots who dont know what they're talking about... it means they maybe aren't seeing things as clearly as someone else maybe is. and to then insult me AGAIN by calling me whiny is just another petty schoolyard thing in of itself. nice one. music sure brings people together, don't it? lighten up... this is SO not an issue. |
||||||||

i never really gave radiohead a chance........i should though |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
NO BLOOD FOR RADIOHEAD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not an issue worth discussing any further than this. reread what you wrote and think about how i might find it insulting. and you were whining and sulking, that's a fact. |
