There There is my favourite. Scatterbrain is my least favourite and could easily have been left off the album. |
||||||||

hunting bears. ...... ...i mean, Sit Down Stand Up, Myxomatosis, and Backdrifts......oh they're all great!!......dammit, i can't CHOOSE..! |

Scatterbrain, oohh!!! cream my pants~~!! does anyone remember d/ling Hail to the Thief and there being fake secret track no. 15 called "Humdrum Messiah"?,.....what a crock..... |

'2 + 2 = 5' it's paranoid android's cousin, probably radiohead's greatest track imo. 'a wolf at the door' perfect from start to finish. i prefer when thom sings with a straight voice instead of his insanely high-pitched whiny voice. |

YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!!! |

2+2=5 just fucking rocks, start 2 finish 'Where i start'... is apparently an old U2 song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
this is hard, but the triplet in the direct middle of the album, Where i end, suck young blood, and the gloaming really pack a punch, so i'll say them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We Suck Young Blood, or Sail To The Moon. Creepy. |
||||||||
|
|

i feel like i've committed a deadly sin for not already having HTTT in my possession. But I'm broke so I have an excuse.... but I could go rob someone... hmmmm.... if only I had a Magnum. *goes to punish himself* |

this album has really grown off of me....i don't really like it much at all. on first listen i thought it was pretty good, but the more i hear it the less i can stand it. i still like sit down stand up, but i am really tired of it because i have already heard it 8 million times (it was the only mp3 that i listened to early). not to crazy about the end of the song however. the fourth track is decent. other than that, i probably won't listen to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what an album! i like every single track on HTTT! were i end... , the part "i'm up in the clouds" is just great, so spooky and beautiful .. but sail to the moon & we suck young blood are sooo great too , i can't pick one i love this album, i wonder if it'll ever bore me, i think not |

From what i have heard, I really think it's a step backwards comparing to Amnesiac. Am I the only one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's different, not comparable a step aside i would say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Apart from 'I Will', I think it's a great album. Some excellent lyrics in there too. Four Tet is remixing Scatterbrain - can't wait for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now THAT sounds interesting! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I like Amnesiac more than Kid A, actually. it's less cohesive, but it has more powerful, striking songs that strike a personal chord w/ me.. and I dont mind that pulk song.. I actually quite like it.. you and whose army is the shit.. !!! I really cant pick a favorite from hail to the theif.. 'where I end...' sounds WAY too much like war-era u2 to be a great radiohead song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I cant think of any good reason why they took the harmonizing second layer of vocals out of "a punchup at a wedding".. the song is much weaker w/o them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
? i don't see "where i end..." as an U2 song at all.. do you (and grinningcat) really think it sounds like U2? or did you just read the pitchfork review where chris ott wrote: This leads into "Where I End and You Begin", which is the only real low point on the album, as aside from Yorke's vocals, it's a U2 song. ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think backdrifts is the worst track on the album but the rest is very solid. pearl jam influence? i dont hear a bit of that and frankly I think pearl jam is garbage(yes even all their earlier stuff) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sit Down Stand Up takes me breath away... the first 3/4ths of it, at least. The end is phenomenally lame. Sail to the Moon is probably my fave, no misteps there. I also really like Myxamiotosis, really unique style... but it lacks something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who cares if it does sound like U2? Are you saying you don't like it just because it sounds like U2, or because you just don't like it? Because, to not like something just because it sounds like a band you consider to be crap, is a pretty lame reason to not like something... |

Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 just played that Four Tet remix of Scatterbrain. Pretty damn good. I think they archive the show so if you check on the site tomorrow they may have it up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone noticed how theirr 'new' style of electrronic music seems to be inspirred by Laika. only morre subtle. since i think it has changed slightly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, the first 3/4ths of the song kicks ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude.. you obviously dont know u2 if you cant see the obvious similarities.. it screams u2 and no I didnt get that from a goddamn pitchfork review I've noticed parallels in pearl jam's and radiohead's music.. not too often.. but there there is very ..hmm. it's very recent pearl jam |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
war is my favorite u2 album and i hear some similarities but i wouldn't say the song and u2 are all that similar.. u2 don't use the ondes martenet [sp] for example, bono doesn't write the same kind of lyrics (except for the title lyric), phil selway's a much better drummer.. |

Myxamiotosis ( right now) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2+2=5 has now taken the lead over There There, but it's still very close. The beat and sounds in The Gloaming sound a bit Autechrian to me, I've been diggin that one alot more lately as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hear my version of I Will |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Backdrifts i just bought HTTF a couple hours ago, listened to the whole album, and honestly it's the only trac i like right now, albeit very much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't even listened to it. i picked it up along with opeth's deliverance and it's just been sitting around for the last few days. i'll get around to it eventually. i've been too busy rockin' out to opeth. =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sit Down Stand Up, Punchup at a Wedding is a close second |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I cannot do that... if I buy an album I MUST listen to it! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait, punchup at the wedding isnt very good either i thought and doesnt seem to fit with any of the other tracks at all. im not putting down u2(im not a fan but i dont have a problem with them) but how does httt at all sound like u2 even remotely, id like to hear some thoughts on this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jesus christ.. one song.. one song I'm talking about. "where I end and you begin" sounds rediculously like late 80's U2.. I cant believe people arent willing to admit that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe. neat. =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh i wouldn't say late 80s, early 80s at best.. there's a faint musical resemblance to war and boy with the vocal stylings of later albums |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right. I'm talking war/blood red sky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is boring me a bit. it just lacks a certain something that kid a and ok computer had. no big deal, but its definitely not on that level. i like thom yorkes idea of making only eps from here on out. experimental music on one, rock on another, and maybe a shot at hearing some unreleased classics like big ideas, big boots, lift, follow me around. |
