"this mess we're in" - a great song off of a great album! :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah, good eye!!! Her album does kick ass. |
||||||||
|

kid a all the way. not even a question for me. |

in my humble opinion there are always a few tracks on every radiohead album that piss me off. for example, the bends has just, which i can't stand (boy am i gonna get slagged for this), ok computer has electioneering (argh!) and kid a has optimistic (i think that's the one i hate, could be mistaken). amnesiac lacks such tracks. it's the most solid album they released, imo |

Okay so I've had OKC for a week and now I must say that it is better than Kid A. Yes Kid A more caters to the side of me that loves electronic, but OK Computer is just 12 tracks of sheer brilliance. Kid A is not far behind though, I suppose it just needs more in it if you know what I mean, to be more deeper. I think if they mix the two with the new album then we'll have the best Radiohead yet. 1. OK Computer 2. Kid A ..Just incase you didn't get a word of that. |

i think Ok Computer is better... but somehow i find myself listening to Kid A more often. It's less exhausting to listen to. Amnesiac is really really really good though! Everytime i listen to it, i like it a little bit more. I'm starting to think this might be my favourite radiohead album. Street Spirit (fade out) is however still their best song... and i doubt they'll ever write a better one. |

Hey dj, i just read that looooong comment. Very interesting! The "we didn't write it ourselves, the song chose us"-part is a bit cliché i think. I thought it was a beautiful idea when i first heard it, but since then almost every band in every interview seems to have songs that "came" to them... but still... thom takes it a bit further with saying: "I wish that song hadn't picked us" (i'm glad it did though ;-)). His explanation of it was what was really interesting though! You were right, it has made me like it even more :-) There is certainly a darkness and sadness in that song that can hardly be described... so depressing and yet so beautiful... all you can do is let your shoulders hang and drown in the music. I can also appreciate the lyrics even more now... just seperate images that somehow describe the way the song makes him feel... i always tried to "understand" it, but now i realise there is nothing to understand in there. Thanks! That was great! :-) |

My pleasure surrounded :) It's probably one of the most deep things I've ever read. |
||||||||
|

|
|
wow i just read it too that was amazing. very powerful imo. |
||||||||
|
|

:) I'm glad I was able to share it with you twos. Anyone else? |

everyone who likes radiohead should read that! :-) I've never seen them live, but when i do... it will sure feel strange now if they'll play Street Spirit. I was touched by the way he said if breaks his heart to see people smiling to the song... "like when you're going to put down your dog and it wags its tail on the way there"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the dog bit really touched me. :D, woah I never usually get this much feedback on anything! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i like how it ends too "(long pause) I didnt write that song" |
||||||||

Radiohead is often overrated but Kid A deserves every piece of praise it got. I say buy that one, especially if you're lurking around on this board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about amnesiac? i think its a really good release.. well maybe not as good as kid a or ok computer but its still up there.. i dunno theres some really good material on it! what do u think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok computer cause it's better then kid a IMO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see Amnesiac as a continuation of Kid A. The first three tracks are excellent but the rest ain't so hot. Anyone looking for an interesting read check out the Pitchfork review of Kid A. It's marvellous. |

Okay take that back, You and Whose Army and I Might Be Wrong are great too. Hehe I'll never let this thread die! |

kid a---> it's more tranquil...soothes the wounds, y'know? |

radiohead is always a thread here |

I like what Stanley Donwood said about Kid A & Amnesiac.... something along the lines of Kid A being like a telephone-call, where the other person is not home and you listen to the anwsering-machine message. And on Amnesiac it's like the other person picks up the phone and you have actual contact. Somehow that describes the album really well! (also what thom yorke said: Kid A is like looking at the fire from a distance, Amnesiac is like being right in the centre of the fire). Kid A is much more abstract... feels like a dream, you can't "touch" it. Amnesiac is much more concrete. Simpler, less layers... i don't really know how to describe it. They definitly belong together, but at the same time they're also very different. I love it from start to finish myself, not just the first 5 tracks :-) Infact Knives Out/Morning Bell is probably the best part of the entire album for me! Those two songs are magic. |

Heh forget about Knives Out, that's pretty good. But the run of good songs ends there. |
||||||||

you don't like Spinning Plates? I thought every radiohead-fan loved that one :-D Even the amnesiac-haters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I haven't listened to it properly that much. It's just the first half a dozen or so are instantly enjoyable for me. I'm a strange RH fan dontcha know? As in I only like the "for a minute there" part of Karma Police and I don't like Exit Music as much as the others! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but you don't have the OKC album very long yet right? (at the beginning of this topic you didn't have it :-)). I think Exit Music will probably grow on you... rest of karma police also. It took me over a year to "get into" Climbing Up The Walls... lots of other songs i didn't understand in the first weeks either. Have you heard the live-version of spinning plates on the might be wrong-ep? That one's even better! Totally different though... i only recognised it when he started to sing "and this just feels like... spinniiiiing plates". Thought Amnesiac was horrible when i first heard it... sounded like leftovers that weren't good enough to make it onto Kid A... but i was wrong ;-) |

Ok computer.....this album captures Radiohead at its best, the sounds and lyrics are simply amazing, of course Kid A is great but I find myself listening to OK computer more, theres always something new everytime you actually listen to the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

'sounded like leftovers that weren't good enough to make it onto Kid A... ' That's how I feel at the moment, or at least I did before. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors is one of my favourite tracks of all time by the way, just a particular energy to it... Funny thing is, it took me only a couple of days and some proper listening before it felt like I'd known OKC all my life. I think I'll skip the tracks I like on Amnesiac and see what happens with the last tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have actually had to stop listening to OKC a couple of times because of how fucking good it is! and I don't wanna ruin it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do the same thing sometimes with my favorite songs... Vletmrx21 comes to mind... I think I've only heard the whole thing 4 times! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I should listen to that track more.. it didn't hit my spot first time. Am I missing something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bends for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kid a, it has a bit of an aphex sense to it (in my opinion). |
