I just heard this track on the radio and it wasn't really what i expected from their new album actually.. it didn't really sound like Kid A and Amnesiac to me .. more like the stuff they did before that.. kind of a let down to be honest any opinions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The new album is a more coherent mix of the two styles. Personally I think it is a massive improvement over Kid A and Amnesiac as both of them were forgettable noise with the exception of a few tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo Kid A and Amnesiac are the only two interesting albums by radiohead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i preferred the experimental side aswell. but it's radiohead and you can never really go wrong with them imo. kid a>amnesiac>ok computer>hail to the thief>the bends |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I think it's a *fantastic* track, possibly the best single they've released in years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah some guy with "access" leaked me some unseen artwork... go to www.saunalahti.fi/hoge |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow great site :) thanks man!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not one of my favourite tracks from the "demos" by any means. To write off Kid A and Amnesiac as forgettable noise is a bit much though... some excellent tracks reside on those records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which is why I said with the exception of a few tracks :D I actually preferred the reworkings they did on a lot of the tracks, also the I might be wrong live EP/album was better than both Kid A and Amnesiac, with better more emotional versions of the tracks on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like ok computer the best, then amnesiac....kid a was so so overall with some pretty good tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think in an interview after amnesiac, thom york admitted that their next album was going to be sort of a step back...they were not interested, i guess, in continuing to pursue the sort of "groundbreaking" pop (i say groundbreaking pop, because that's the only ground that it broke) they were working on...considering the overwhelming success of kid A, i would have a hard time believing they did it for any other reason than their own personal preference. i am inclined, however, to always like them for reasons beyond my control. |

there there is a wonderful tune. a melody that can be sung and that is fresh and memorable and euphoric. their new album is their most cohesive yet. overflowing with musical juice and invention. myximatosis in particular stands out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't mixomatosis a rabbit illness? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listen to "Stand up. Sit Down." from hail to the thief fucking amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't like it at first, but I felt the same with OK Computer, kind of a delayed thang. Still, it's the best band in the world on the radio, makes a refreshing change doesn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more interestingly, this "step back" could be considered as a farewell to the mainstream audience as their record contract runs out after this album... i hope they start their own label since they already have their own company and sure hell don't rely on EMI (when making the music at least). they have spoken about this in the past... let's see if they are as no logo as they say they are! they'd be the first in their league to do this i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kid A was the daddy... this album is going to rrock to the Nth, the song is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there there is one of the best songs I've heard in quite a while. My God I love that climax with the howling guitar-solo and Thom's soothing singing. This song keeps giving me goosebumps. I just can't name 1 favorite on this album because there's 2 many of 'em. "I will" for example is another spine chiller, Thom's quality of singing is just out of anyone's league atm. There best overall album yet imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree on Thom's singing, there is so much emotion in his voice, different from the drivel fed to us daily via radio and TV. He could be singing about anything, but as long as he has that special TY passion, I'll listen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok Computer is my favorite Radiohead... so if this new album is anything like it, I will enjoy it! When is this out anyways? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard it the other day. It's bloody excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just out of interest, where in Notts are you from? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I fucking HATE songs with a sub heading, like 'Be Quiet (And Drive)' - and every single song on this album has one - even the fucking TITLE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But the music is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hail to the thief has sub-headings? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. I can type them out if you really want me to... they might be online somewhere anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do you hate em? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can someone please answer my question... when does this album come out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They've become a prime example of pretenciousness in modern day music. Shit bands use them to try and elevate the meaning in their tripe lyrics and appear more "meaningful". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jaworski, I really really really want you to type out those sub-headings for me, I didn't see them on the radiohead websites or on the play.com announcement/playlist of the CD. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You mean like when the Manics went over-the-top with If You Tolerate This (Then Your Children Will Be Next) ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. 'Hail To The Thief (The Gloaming)' 1. 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm) 2. Sit Down, Stand Up (Snakes & Ladders) 3. Sail To The Moon (Brush The Cobwebs Out Of The Sky) 4. Backdrifts (Honeymoon Is Over) 5. Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased) 6. Where I End And You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In) 7. We Suck Young Blood (Your Time Is Up) 8. The Gloaming (Softly Open Our Mouths In The Cold) 9. There There (The Boney King Of Nowhere) 10. I Will (No Man's Land) 11. A Punchup At A Wedding (No No No No No No No No) 12. Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner) 13. Scatterbrain (As Dead As Leaves) 14. A Wolf At The Door (It Girl, Rag Doll) I bet someone has posted them by the time I've finished this... |

i think it comes out on june 10th i really like there there, it isnt really representational of the whole album though. its got something for fans of all their different stylistic inclinations, ie. people who liked their more electronic stuff wont be disappointed and people who liked their more straightforward rock stuff wont be disappointed either..unless they're the type who are disappointed by everything, ..and i know there are plenty of you out there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you sure those are actual parts of the song titles? Maybe they're just alternate titles that the band had, and the site you got that from just printed them together... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's from a cover story in NME where they interview Thom Yorke and he goes through the songs, their titles and their meanings one by one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NME: Tell us about these subtitles. TY: I was having trouble with titles. 'Hail To The Thief' was also called 'The Gloaming' and I wanted to subtitle that, so I decided to carry on. I have this big list that I carry around and they come from there. And from kids programmes, because I was watching those. Mostly Bagpuss, I like Bagpuss. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
nod, good enough... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks Jaworski, and I agree, that sucks, but in the end, it's really the songs that matter so I'm not too bugged by this sub-heading biz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The video is brilliant..reminds me of a film called 'the company of wolves', stop/start animation in it, a bit like Bagpuss actually.. about subtitles: They're great (so shut up) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bagpuss? :) |

"its being shown on MTV/MTV2 regulary now" oh really? :-D Didn't know that! I hope to catch it sometime soon! I'm so curious how it will sound and look. Does this also mean the single is already on sale?? |
