The King in Crimson

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

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

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

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

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.

Reckoner would be in a top 5 radiohead songs list for me.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
