Don't you think that the third track on Amnesiac sounds like it could be on Geogaddi? Same sound style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah they both suck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooooooooooooh dis! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't hate! don't hate! ya'll don't know me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's really not in any form of disrespect the track sounds awful (no its not an opinion the track is actually awful) - so of course it belongs on geogaddi. or under a pile of dead kangaroo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that track is awesome, the beats are kickin' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no actually they aren't -- you shouldn't say things like that im afraid you'll have to pay a fine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your opinion = bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. That track is PURE horse shit, 100% craptastic. Anyone who thinks otherwise should be shot. I didn't mean that last comment, honest, just slipped out! |

if i were given the choice of having bjork yell in my ears about utter nonsense for 12 hours or listening to that track -- i would buy the bjork cd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead=awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bjork=awesome too |
||||||||
|
|

i sure am lovin that new-fangled track by the DOORS or whoever them people are...bah..i dunt know someone please tell me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHAHAHA ! pure gold comedy, ex, thanks for that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I love that song... it's actually one of my favorites from Amnesiac... It's so strange... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno though, it doesn't really sound much like Geogaddi to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a glitch track... geogaddi doesn't even approach glitch. Pulk reminds me of Nobukazu Takemaru. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You mean that Pulk/pull doors song? That's a great track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hated #3 at first, then it grew on me. Same with Like Spinning Plates. Anyway... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like spinning plates is on of my favorite songs of all time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
- it's not a good track - it doesnt sound like something off geogaddi at least to these ears... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
track #3 = genious. all others who disagree = knuckle heads. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
before yous guys chew my ass out, you have to understand why i like it. i have to say it is a really artfully done piece. sure sure, radiohead's first attempts at "electronica" are not the best compared to aphex or the others you may compare them to, but you have to understand, coming from a band that started out pretty damn pop-ish, it is fucking wonderful. besides, i love the lyrics (if you can make them out). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought track 10 did for me.. that my favorite track of that album! ...amazing.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually even though the song is kinda cool i think it sounds pretty imature as far as the style goes. it sounds like they got the software and started fiddling and adding weird vocal samples and an hour later they have a track. its still good but not anything you could make a whole album off. and no it didnt sound like geogaddi to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its good but wouldn't fit on geogaddi. its like an amaturish attempt at electronica |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that track is awsome! cygnus stfu! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
#3 on amnesiac has character. amateurish or not. boards of canada lack character - they're dull. so pulk definitely does not fit on geogaddi. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm fairly indifferent to Pulk Pull revolving doors. Hunting bears...however. I hate that one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pyramid Song is awesome and so is Radiohead. Ah, whatever. To each his own. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whoops, I mean Pulk/Pull Doors. Dunno why I thought Pyramid Song was #3. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pyramid Song IS awesome. Too bad they follow it up with that piece of garbage Pulk/Pull! I don't like the electronic elements on Amnesiac as much as the ones on Kid A. Packt is pretty damn bad, too. I thought it was OK, then I heard the electronic artists that inspired that track, and now it's total crap in comparison. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno, I really enjoyed Packt. Other artists may inspired the music, and MAY be better, but that still doesn't mean you can't enjoy/like the music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As for Pull/Pulk revolving Doors, I personally think this is a completely different and odd song, if it belongs in geogaddi is something I wouldnt know about. As for the negative critism, Open your minds to different sounds, you should already have since you listen to Aphex who is totally different from the rest also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Well, Radiohead helped open my mind to all this electronic stuff! A Thom Yorke interview was how I found out about Aphex Twin. But frankly, after hearing much better electonic work by other artists, it just made it hard to listen to Radiohead's dabblings in the genre. Their rock stuff is unparalelled... but I really just find their electronic experiments weak and a waste of time to listen to, since they're not particularly interesting OR good. Optimistic is an exception, I like that one. Just my opinion of course! Not that I haven't opened my mind... I have, and I just don't like Pulk/Pull, Packt, and some others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah agreed that Radiohead is unparralelled in rock. I've been getting into Indie Rock lately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have ok computer and kid A but I listen to Amnesiac more, i just like the sound better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ophecks, man, so much for an open mind, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's so electronic about 'optimistic'? it's not like kid a and amnesiac are or were promoted as "experimental albums." it's just music, man. the only difference is they've added new instruments to their arsenal. they've always listened to can, autechre, aphex twin, faust, kraftwerk, etc. only now they are comfortable with branching out into other musical territories in their own songs. it's still hybridization (rock, all types of electronica, pop), not an outright bid to outdo warp or rephlex artists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't it funny that BOC don't agree with you ophecks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard kid koala play that track live when he opened up for radiohead. koala was MAD underappreciated, though. i was one of the small percentage that really enjoyed him, and how fucking unbelievably talented he is. |
||||||||

pyramid song + pulk/pull have the same ending. pulk/pull has a sample of the end of pyramid, and it's looped. check it out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
''isn't it funny that BOC don't agree with you ophecks?'' Who fucking cares, I've got a mind of my own... Since when is it wrong to have an opinion? I dislike Radiohead's electronic endeavors and suddenly I don't have an open mind?!?! I know they're not trying to outdo anyone, I just think their experiments haven't been effective... if you do, great... but I don't... doesn't mean I don't have an open mind, jesus criminy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i'm saying is: 1) kid a and amnesiac are not nor were they meant to be considered "experimental albums", but instead a logical continuation of radiohead's music 2) not all of the songs on kid a or amnesiac are electronic; i can't believe you consider "optimistic" electronica! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
their just beautiful albums... comparing a band/group/artist to a genre sort of makes doing new things hard! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SHIT!!! I didn't mean to say Optimistic... I meant Idioteque! D'oh! Optimistic is awesome, THAT'S the directoin I want them to go in. I don't think Packt/Pulk/Idioteque ARE logical continuations... sounds to me like weak attempts to experiment. Whether or not that's what they say it is, that's what it sounds like to me... forced crap. Pyramid Song is much more indicative of where they should be going. It's a lot better, doesn't sound like as much of a blatant ripoff of electronica to me. I stress, ''TO ME''... I don't care what Thom says or meant to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I know the albums aren't totally electronic... I just don't like having crappy techno dropped in between amazing rock tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think idioteque is a hip-hop track more than anything, but really it's a combo of a lot of things: hip-hop, pop, idm, and disco. it's a logical combination of some of their interests, not something "experimental" -- it's part of their new direction, but it's not the only thing they're going for. i listen to their new albums and i hear lots of new things they're working on post-ok computer; even within songs like "idioteque" i can sense the directionS they're going in. they're just making songs (as opposed to experiments), only they've added new and different instruments (jonny greenwood is a fantastic multi-instrumentalist, and thom yorke and the rest are getting very good at laptop music). though they're still learning i don't think it sounds forced. i think they're better so far than most of the electronic musicians on this site, and you wouldn't call everyone's mp3's here "forced" even tho they just started making computer-assisted music in '00, '01, or '02. |

Well, it's just a matter of personal preference. Yeah, they're branching out, but I just don't like it... I don't think they'll ever do anything as perfect as OK Computer, at this rate... As for sounding ''forced''... I actually don't like a lot of the electronic music I've heard from some people, here and elsewhere (my own, for example :-). They often don't have their own sound, just rip offs. Nothing wrong with that... maybe they'll get better with time. With Radiohead, the rock tracks sound so flawless (TO ME!!!) and the electronic tracks (and they stick out like a sore thumb, it ain't subtle) sound out of place and pretty lame. I know they're not going to go back to rehashing OK Computer, and that's cool. You're right, they're doing what they're interested in, and that's commendable, but they shouldn't quit their day job (in MY opinion)... I don't think their transition sounds very smooth. My favorite tracks from Amnesiac are Dollars and Cents, Knives Out, I Might Be Wrong... THESE sound more logical to me. Not like anything they're done before, but not too UNlike it, either. |

radiohead isn't trying to be electronic. its about opening the minds of their listeners. like you ophecks many people have gone deeper into electronic music thanks to radiohead. the song writing is always solid though. its a lot about minimalism as well. a lot of the warp artists add more and more in there tracks and its refreshing at times to listen to something more open and empty. but everyone is entitled to their opinions. |
