Such a great song!

One of my favourite bands making a song about one of my favourite books. Awesome.

I'm not saying anything about experimentation. They released 40 minutes of somewhat dense electronic music with little to no hooks or interesting melodies.

Yeah, I'm totally agreeing with this so far as well.

HTTT is pretty good, just a little too long and not much variety between songs. Not sure what I'd take out though. I don't listen to that album often enough.

You guys may be right. But having hooks and interesting melodies might not be the point.

orcus116 · « **Reply #497 on:** February 28, 2011, 05:43:48 PM »

That's completely understandable, just not my cup of tea.

SPNKr · « **Reply #498 on:** February 28, 2011, 05:48:56 PM »

I agree with HTTT not having that much variation. Maybe need another listen.
Next time, I eat In Rainbows.

From what I've heard so far the In Rainbows bonus disc is awesome. Can't wait to get through it.

But there's definitely a middle ground to be found-- Radiohead have found it before and they didn't here. If its easier for people to just pass of my not liking the album with the pretentious old "you just don't get it" argument, then fine. Cast me among the unsaved.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #501 on:** March 01, 2011, 05:29:37 AM »

I dunno, I found there to plenty of hooks on TKOL, some of them just weren't the obvious chorus or melody kind of hooks. They weren't as good as Kid A or In Rainbows, I agree, but they're definitely there.

orcus116 · « **Reply #502 on:** March 01, 2011, 12:56:16 PM »

Yeah, this Bonus Disc is definitely the Nil Recurring to In Rainbows' Fear of a Blank Planet.

There are various types of Radiohead fans.. you lot who love the bends (and usually dismiss any of the electronic stuff), kid A fanboys who probably big up TKOL and hate the bends, and those like me who are blind fanboys and love everything apart from Pablo Honey.

Zantera · « **Reply #506 on:** March 02, 2011, 06:33:45 AM »

I love everything (can't count Pablo Honey since I haven't heard it), but I guess I enjoy the Kid A/Amnesiac-type of stuff over The Bends/OK Computer.

What about the people who aren't blind fanboys but like a majority of what they've done outside of some odd songs from Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief (haven't heard Pablo Honey, can't count it)? You know, normal people?

I'd be in your group SDN except that I have Pablo Honey (it is certainly a lot worse than their other albums).

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #510 on:** March 02, 2011, 04:17:12 PM »

I don't even know what group I am in. All I know is that Radiohead is a special, special band.

SPNKr · « **Reply #511 on:** March 02, 2011, 04:44:02 PM »

I mentioned Radiohead to a guy in my class yesterday, and he said "yeah they made that song Creeps and it's like soft then goes into a metal sort of thing".

That was lame.

Only been listening to them for a month or two but I've sort of gotten into them properly now.

God, I love this band.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #519 on:** March 15, 2011, 07:37:06 PM »

Still cannot stop listening to True Love Waits. It's so hauntingly beautiful and sad.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #520 on:** March 15, 2011, 08:06:41 PM »

The I Might Be Wrong EP in general is just amazing. Taking the best parts of Kid A and Amnesiac can only mean good things.

Oh, and while I'm at it:
ICE AGE COMING
ICE AGE COMING

Getting both I Might Be Wrong (Live Recordings) and the Jigsaw Falling Into Place EP/Single in a week or so.
God I love ordering non-studio albums/DVDs and such from the web!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #522 on:** March 16, 2011, 12:06:13 PM »

I think 'There There' might be my favourite song of theirs. The guitar tones are soooo perfect.

EDIT: Holy shit, can't stop listening to this song. It's tied with Everything In Its Right Place for my number one.

KevShmev · « **Reply #523 on:** March 18, 2011, 08:30:37 AM »

Sadly, I've come to the realization that the new Radiohead is merely good. Not great, but just good. Hell, looking at my iTunes, I haven't listened to anything from it since February 27th, which is almost three weeks (and it has been just as long since I listened in my car). I think that says it all, as when I get a new CD that I really like, especially one by a band that is already a favorite, I listen to it a lot for months, but The King of Limbs took only weeks to get put to back of the line, so to speak. Like I said, I like it, but it just hasn't wowed me at all.

Zantera · « **Reply #524 on:** March 18, 2011, 08:35:37 AM »

I feel a bit the same actually.
There isn't really anything wrong with it, because all songs are good, but I haven't listened to it much since the first few days.
I can see some songs becoming favorites though, Codex probably being the best example, but overall I would rank this album maybe 5 or 6th out of their albums.
