OkC- Untouchable..I like these 3 about the same, but OKC just deserves the top spot
The Bends-
Hail To The Thief- Don't hear what alot of other people hear with this one...Amazing from start to finish
Kid A- Fine album, but the title track and Treefingers are useless, though they work much better when there's actual music around them
In Rainbows- Loved this when it first came out, but it got old...too safe
Pablo Honey-If the 2nd half of this album was as good as the 1st half this might be in the top group
Amnesiac- listened to it last night...again, nothing really grabbed me to bring me back to it
KoL - Genius?? Hardly....They've lost the plot with this one. It picks up steam towards the end but the rest is barely music...What a lazy album... Who the fuck needs to listen to an album 50x to decide whether they like it or not?? That's not enjoying music, that's gettin used to a regimen. In one word......Lazy
for all i am not a fan of the new album (on my 5th listen since release and I only really like Lotus Flower) I am a huge fan of (some) of their other works. My order is thus:-
1. OK Computer
1. In Rainbows
1. The Bends
too hard to split those for me
4. Hail to the Thief
5. Kid A
6. Amnesiac
7. Pablo Honey
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I think it's sort of amusing that one person can't accept that not everybody loves it.
It defiantly sounds better when you send more power to the speakers, but overall, i'd still rate it a C.
its not that they can't accept it that we don't love it... more that we can't 'comprehend' it....
like I can't comprehend gravity ergo i must float.

Just trying to lighten up the mood. I wasn't trying to be pompous Dunkman. You've only listened to the 35 min. album 5 times and already have formed a very strong opinion. No big deal. I hope you come around to it. At least we all belong to the Ten Club. We are an elite group. I didn't mean to disrespect anybody.
1. Kid A (I love the electronica if it turns out to make good songs)
2. Ok, Computer
3. Hail to the Thief (I think it's vastly underrated by RH fans)
4. The Bends (I could switch this with Thief)
5. Amnesiac (it's obvious it's made from Kid A's leftovers because a couple duds in there)
6. In Rainbows (I still think it's really great)
7. Pablo Honey
I won't rank KoL yet - haven't listened to it nearly enough. Although I didn't have any trouble at least enjoying any of the other albums the first few listens.
For the person who said my impulse purchase is reflective of our country's overspending - nice one. There's a sucker born every minute. Here I am. :roll:

We can all agree, that we were at one point, or currently, fans of Radiohead. So, in an effort to lighten the mood and put our opinions into perspective, lets rate all the Radiohead albums. I'll start.
1) The Bends
2) Amnesiac
3) OK, Computer
4) In Rainbows
5) Kid A
6) Hail to the Thief
7) Pablo Honey
the album is pure brilliance...i don't know how fans of simply good music in general can't see that
Probably the most pathetic statement in this thread.
pathetic because i consider the album to be excellent and i happen to be puzzled as to why others don't? yea that's really fucking pathetic. i think all you radiohead or music "know it alls" are pathetic with your stubborn comments and thinking that everything you say is what is correct. just because you may think its lazy and i may think the album is brilliant doesn't mean it is either. to each their own. still doesn't mean i can't be confused as to why people don't like it as much...

I have had King of Limbs on repeat play since the weekend and I for one think it's brilliant. Organic, a little different,maybe even mellow - but IMHO really really good.
That's my opinion - music is so subjective that it can only be opinion!?!
And one more opinion - I wish PJ would push their creative boat out a little with next album - in the spirit that Radiohead have showed of King of Limbs.

No because you are implying that if we don't agree with you and think this album is great and all that then we we are not fans of 'simply good music' as you put it. If you love the album, awesome but don't try and drag down anyone who has a different opinion on you because we don't 'see' the brilliance or don't care for it. You like it, I don't, I can live with that no problem matey but don't try and place yourself above others because of it, OK?
That's how I read your statement, perhaps I may be wrong in that assumption and if I am then I apologise but it read VERY much like that way to me.

Personally, I feel like this album is a mixture of Amnesiac and In Rainbows.
I have to disagree 100% that there is no creativity to be found on this record. If anything, it shows that Radiohead are still not afraid to change up their sound at this stage in their career.
Going back to the Pearl Jam comparison, they've had roughly the same style on each of their last three or so records. Not that they're bad, because I enjoy them very much, but I certainly don't hear a whole lot of creativity per se on Backspacer, just tight, concise songwriting, for better or worse.

Really Dewie? Do you also think In Through The Out Door Is the best Zeppelin record?
InTOD is basically a Plant & JPJ record. Page was too addicted to heroin to really contribute. Whether you think it's really great probably depends on how you feel about the 10 minutes of Carouselambra. I could see loving or hating it. I could kind of take it or leave it. I'd put InTOD towards the bottom of Led Zep records, but it's still pretty great.

A lot of it seems like a very large stretch, but it's fun to speculate, I suppose.
No because you are implying that if we don't agree with you and think this album is great and all that then we we are not fans of 'simply good music' as you put it. If you love the album, awesome but don't try and drag down anyone who has a different opinion on you because we don't 'see' the brilliance or don't care for it.

Why the confusion? People are quite clearly stating their issues with it.
I hear more creativity in Backspacer.
phoned in.
not just bad by PJ standards. bad.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it either. I just don't think this Radiohead album really pushes any envelopes.
I have to disagree 100% that there is no creativity to be found on this record. If anything, it shows that Radiohead are still not afraid to change up their sound at this stage in their career.
