In Rainbows is amazing guys, why did I wait 3 years to listen to it?

The post-rock-esque part in All I Need keeps getting stuck in my head :hat

OK Computer still won't be beat though.

I think it's pretty overrated to be honest, i think it's fantastic, but i don't find it to be creatively inspiring like Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief or In Rainbows.
OK Computer is slightly better then The Bends though, but i would rank the other 4 albums higher overall.

as far as i'm concerned, OK Computer is the album of the 90s.

What the hell, Hail to the Thief came out 7 years ago, are you kidding?! I remember that! It was my first new release album from a band i had already gotten into (at the wee age of 11).

I feel old :sadpanda:

YOU DISSIN' ON THE THEATER?
MIKE PORTNOY WILL CHASE YO ASS.

I've always been a Kid A-fan more then Ok Computer, to me the year 2000 was when Radiohead stopped making alternative rock, and started making creative music.
The progression they've had since is just amazing.

Damned straight!

Yeh, can't believe HTTT is over 7 years old.. doesn't feel like 5 minutes ago that it got leaked a couple of months before the main release.

Because OK Computer is not creative at all?

I'm not saying it isn't creative, but what fascinates me is kinda the journey between OK Computer and Kid A, and when you look at the result Kid A is really unique in comparison.
If you compare it to the journey before, between The Bends and OK Computer, that wasn't AS big of a journey.
If that makes any sense. :P
But i really love how they just turned things around.

Radiohead were the best among the alternative rock bands in the 90's.

OK computer is a masterpiece and the production is as as good as PFs Division Bell. I love the Bends also, FPT is lovely.

I find Hail to the thief and Amnesiac rather dull with a few exceptions. The production is lame and thick and there are no guitars. Greenwood is a great guitarist but his keyboard doesn't work well alone.

I find In Rainbows a sort of comeback but the production is bloody awful.

Radiohead of the 90's + Muse of the 00's = win

I get what you are saying, but their 90s work was still creative as hell, too. :hat

No guitars?  Hmmm, I must be imagining all of those cool guitar leads in songs like "I Might Be Wrong," "Knives Out," "2+2=5," "Sail to the Moon," "Where I End and You Begin," "There There," "Myxomatosis," "A Punch Up at a Wedding," etc.

I love the production.  ???

I'm speaking about guitar riffs not solos. It is noticeable that they stopped making music thinking around electric guitars. That's the main difference between Kid A and OK computer.

You might love the production of In Rainbows but I don't.... opinions? I find it protooled and the mastering is bad.
Probably they wanted a "pure" sound which I don't like.

I mentioned songs with guitar leads, not solos.  I get what you are saying, though: they kind of stopped doing guitar-heavy songs, in favor of more atmospheric songs featuring keys, which obviously is not your thing.  To me, it's all good.  Actually, it's all mostly great. :biggrin:

I don't get why I only discovered this band about 3 weeks or so ago. Obviously I have heard of them and so many people praise their music.

I'm bridging that gap now, I've listened to OK computer once and Kid A three times today  :blush.

I think my best memory regarding Radiohead, was the first time i listened to Kid A.
Before i had only heard In Rainbows, OK Computer and some stuff from The Bends, so when Everything In It's Right Place started, i was like...
 :o
 :hat
 :hefdaddy
It quickly became one of my favorite RH-songs, and that album overall holds a special place in my heart.  :heart

I watched part of that concert on youtube about a week back (Full concert is also on there). It was quite good for a fan-made project.

The King of Limbs is the upcoming, eighth studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead. It will be released on 19 February 2011 as a digital download, followed by a special edition "newspaper" release in May 2011.

Radiohead aren't an all time favorite band for me, but the amount of staying power they have with their fan speaks volumes. Even while I rarely listen to them in heavy doses, I still can spin most of their albums now and be awed with how great they are.

Hope this new album is by donation as well!

I'd really be looking forward to this but I still haven't got In Rainbows/my head around Hail to the Thief properly yet
Can they delay it by six weeks or so?

At last.. i've been checking their website daily for a while now, but there was a feeling amongst the RH community that the new album was imminent.

I've a really good feeling about this..
