special places in my heart (and my music shelf :) )...

sounds like they arent taken away from that special place on
the shelf either ;-)

have to say, kid A and amnesiac sound so much better than
their other releases. All the others remind me of annoying
people at school (good reason :D)

hola melack, hacia tiempo que no te veia... bueno es que
estuve sin internet todo el verano y hasta esta semana... en
fin ya nos veremos que yo me voy a dormir... por cierto me
hann servido de mucho tus comentarios sobre los diferentes
artistas de rephlex... hasta pronto.

por cierto:
en barcelona, en la gran via, hay una tienda de ropa que se
llama BOSTON, pues bien, el modelo de las fotos del
escaparate, soy yo. (bueno a no ser que ahora hayan puesto
al modelo que lleva los trajes, pero si es de ropa normal,
un tio de pelo liso castaño, ese soy yo)
es que un amigo es el dueño de la tienda y me llamo para
hacer la campaña de otoño invierno, yo no soy modelo (ni
mucho menos) pero como es colega acpte para ver la
experiencia

Dude I'm like one of those sick sick annoying Radiohead
fanatics.
Pablo Honey (don't like it)
The Bends (I love it! esp. Iron Lung which is like my
music)
Ok Computer (eh, not my favorite)
Amnesiac
Kid A (both of which I like, but I like Amnesiac
better)

I like Radiohead because he can do a nice job sounding
distressed.

I love all the albums equally. they all share the left side
of my bed when i go to sleep with them. i make outfits for
the cd cases and take them out for walks to the mail...one
one day and then the other the other day. i polish the cd
cases everyday. and make sure nothing gets on them! any
dust and i totally loose myself!!

nothing but the best of care for my cds :

it's ok. you and thousands of other radiohead fans my dear.
mp3 file names can be misleading and it would be nice if
more unreleased music popped up on the web. if you have
soulseek i can let you download some unreleased demos and
early live versions from me if you like.

I love all my Radiohead albums...theres something about each
one for each mood it gives off....I think any artist who
does a constant album has that different feel....eventhough
Radiohead has changed their sound, it still fits.

i love radiohead. ok computer is one of the greatest albums
ever made. but...

i just got through listening to Kid A after almost a year of
not hearing it, and i was not happy. maybe its my increased
listenign to IDM, or something in the lyrics that seems
absent on this and Amnesiac, but it just isn't the same
album i heard in 2000.

I don't like them as much as I did a year ago... Thom is
getting more and more on my nerves, that's not a good sign.
I no longer like his voice on some tracks. Arg! Oh well,
nothing I can do to control my preferences.

I'd got Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A,
Amnesiac... and OK Computer is scratched to shit beyond
function now, I wore it out so much in grade 12. And Kid A
is the thing that led me to Aphex... so Radiohead is
morbidly important to me. Every one of their albums is near
perfect except for Pablo Honey, which just bores me silly. I
like Creep, though... not representative of their other work
at all which kind of hurts them if people expect more tracks
like that, but a great pop song.

Points: 4428 Status: Addict



i can't speak for ophecks but he and i seem to be having the
same problem.
i will say that i don't pay attention to IDM fans who say
radiohead are crap. posers, etc, because thats completely
wrong. but kid a and amnesiac are simply boring to me when
placed alongside the music that they led me to listen to.
they aren't necessarily bad albums, in fact they certainly
aren't, but i think the core problem is that after radiohead
one finds all of these great innovative artists who have
been playing with that sound for years, have tweaked it, and
radiohead were treading in new waters. it was brave that
they did it at all though, and i credit them for my interest
in the music i currently listen to.
i actually do enjoy the kid a/amnesiac songs live though,
there seems to be more spirit present in them.

Not sure what you mean... me starting to dislike Thom's
voice, or the ''bash Creep'' mentality? Eh?

I don't really like their electronic experiments... it got
me into that style, though, so kudos to them. I liked it at
first, but it just doesn't sound impressive to me anymore, I
can't give a reason, just... I don't like it as much
anymore, that shit happens with every band. Packt Like
Sardines, Push/Pulk, Treefingers, I usually skip these
tracks. Idioteque has lost my interest, too... but the rock
tracks are so perfect, Optimistic and Knives Out and I Might
Be Wrong.

Their electronic stuff led me to music of a similar style,
only much better... but nobody does rock better than them.
I'd rather them not delve deeper into the electronic thing,
but I can't fault them for it, it takes balls. Just personal
preference.

I don't care what wanker IDM snobs say. Hell, I listen to
Travis and LOVE THEM. ;-)

well, i and other people i've talked to already listened to
the warp roster before kid a and amnesiac came out. speaking
for myself, i don't see either album as a "stab at IDM."
there are influences but then again they've always been
influenced by electronic music. it's just that these 2
albums the influences are more prevalent. still, i don't
consider them "IDM" albums because there's a lot going on.
no one would mistake these albums for anyone but radiohead
and i do NOT think they ripped off anyone. they definitely
made something original (which doesn't mean the same thing
as "they invented a new genre", which is a concept that
surely MUST be offputting). i think the 2 albums, especially
kid a, are pointedly cold because that's what they wanted to
do. they wanted to make something with a minimal, barren
feel, as a reaction to the frenzy they had experienced doing
concert and promo tours for the last few years. i think they
accomplished it perfectly and the albums really are
beautiful in or outside of that context.
