The Bends is their second best album (OKC is number 1). I generally prefer the band's more rock/guitar-oriented material.

Yep.

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #947 on:** June 15, 2012, 08:45:20 PM »

So yeah, I've finally gotten into the majority of these guys' material.

I think OK Computer is the perfect album. Real talk.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #948 on:** June 15, 2012, 08:50:50 PM »

Yeah, OK Computer is just song after song of awesomeness. I don't even mind Fitter Happier; it provides a little breather and fits the theme of the album.

I like it just because of what a short, deliciously depressing little interlude it is.

Fitter Happier is awesome. Also as a whole I prefer the electronicy albums...

Dont get me wrong, i think the rest of In Rainbows is incredible..
I just dont really like House Of Cards. It doesnt make me feel anything

Pols Voice · « **Reply #958 on:** June 16, 2012, 06:28:58 AM »

House of Cards is okay, but probably my least favorite from In Rainbows.

Same. I think it's good, but one of the lesser songs on the album.

Mladen · « **Reply #960 on:** June 16, 2012, 06:42:40 AM »

I agree. There are a couple of songs on In Rainbows that people seem to absolutely adore, but I think they're just OK and nothing more. House of cards is one of them, as well as Nude and Videotape.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #961 on:** June 16, 2012, 09:09:42 AM »

Every song on In Rainbows is amazing.

For anyone interested, this just went down in my city! https://www.tmz.com/2012/06/16/radiohead-stage-collapse-toronto/

Radiohead stage collapses before they play, killing 1 so far.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #966 on:** June 16, 2012, 04:17:00 PM »

I read somewhere that 2 construction workers died.

1 dead and 1 serious condition and 2 other injuries. https://www.thestar.com/news/article/1212588--radiohead-stage-collapse-one-dead-one-seriously-hurt-at-downsview-park-show-cancelled

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #968 on:** June 16, 2012, 04:25:28 PM »

Okay. I follow like a billion radiohead blogs and read somewhere it was 2 deaths but that was probably when everything was still unclear. Really shitty thing to happen :x

It's the drum-tech who died.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #972 on:** October 07, 2012, 08:37:35 AM »

I'm just now listening to OK Computer. It's pretty nice.

jag66 · « **Reply #973 on:** October 07, 2012, 01:34:43 PM »

Kind of on topic: The new Atoms For Peace song, Default (band feat. Thom Yorke and Flea!) is really good.

And yes, OK Computer is rather nice!!

Zantera · « **Reply #974 on:** October 07, 2012, 01:39:34 PM »

OK Computer is like my 6th favorite Radiohead album, but it's still excellent.

Has anyone's opinion of TKOL gotten better/worse? I find that over time the album has grown on me a lot, despite me already loving the hell out of it; I find myself listening to that album more than any other Radiohead album these days. Of course, In Rainbows still gets some play time, but even then it's just a few tracks off the bonus discs; while TKOL gets constant play through the entire album. I dunno, it just seems more accessible and more easy to listen to. I know it wasn't all that well-received around here, but I don't think it was necessarily 'hated' either, though I know some didn't like it at all; the majority seemed to view it as just 'meh'. I'm loving it with the coming of Fall atmospheres. Any change for you guys or is it still a mediocre release for most of you?

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #976 on:** October 07, 2012, 02:31:29 PM »

I've never gotten around to hearing TKOL.

Is it more or less off-kilter than the couple albums before it? Or in other words, is it more or less like Kid A/Amnesiac?

I liked it a lot during the first few weeks of its release, but as time went by I liked it less and less. And seeing the whole thing played live didn't do much for me either. I honestly don't find it to be very interesting and I would say its the only Radiohead album that I don't love/really like.

That all being said, I still really like Codex.

Zantera · « **Reply #978 on:** October 07, 2012, 02:47:09 PM »

TKOL has grown on me quite a bit. The only song I'm not that keen on is Feral, but both The Lotus Flower and Codex are among their best IMO.

Wait, what? I gotta hear this.

As for The King of limbs, I think I don't like it as much as I did back when I first heard it. I still adore Codex, but the rest of the album is just fine. It's a good record overall, it's quite enjoyable and has a cool flow, but I'm not too crazy about it.
