Got a hard hard head wrote:I have to agree that it was rather presumptuous of me to say that, but equally you can not even begin to suggest that people who dislike the album listen to it more than those who don’t.
And, if I can correct you, I did not suggest you were blinkered. I said “some people” including the media.
You do make a valid point in that Radiohead are damned either way for the albums they produce. I can appreciate that there must be an enormous weight of expectancy after producing their past albums but this doesn’t hide my disappointment at the direction their music has now gone.
And I agree with your view of In Rainbows. I hated that too, it sounded too….safe.
No big deal, but just to be clear, I was not implying that you suggested I was blinkered. I was simply stating that I am not of the people who are blinkered.0 -
dunkman wrote:my patronising smugness never reared its head until I opened up this Radiohead thread... to then be told that some of us couldn't comprehend this album, which suggests, to me at least, that we are sitting bereft of any musical knowledge and would be much happier listening to a troglodyte beating his head with a club.
But then you come into the fray and tell people that they can't comment on something if they can't do better. Which is equally as patronising. We are all critics in some way... I look at new wallpaper with my wife and she says "oh i hate that, it's disgusting", should I then turn to her and say "you can't be saying that now... i mean after all, you couldn't design a better one"
But you can't say we can't make a personal emotive choice on whether we like things or not simply because we couldn't make a better one... that's a corrupt viewpoint... and I was merely pointing that out. Just as I'll point out that this is a shit car
But I couldn't make a better one... I don't know how... But it doesn't provoke a favourable emotion from me, just as King Of Limbs doesn't... nor does 80s based fashion.
I have already acknowledged that I realize my argument was not the best one to make and yet you keep repeating the same rebuttal over and over. Again, as I've already stated, OF COURSE you have the right to make a personal emotive choice or have an opinion or however you want to put it. People are bound to disagree; that's just the way it is. There is really nothing you can say that will make me go, "Oh, hmm you know, he's right!" And on the flipside, I'm sure there is nothing I can say that will make you go, "Oh you know what, he's right!" So go ahead and keep arguing all you want. Nobody is really right or wrong, it's all a matter of opinion. I am over it. Listen to it if you want, don't listen if you don't want. It's that simple. Case closed. Good day.0 -

I've noticed just as much hostility from the people who don't like this album.
I don't see why this has to turn into a shit-fest.
Anyway, talking about the actual music here, "Give Up the Ghost" is hitting hard for me at the moment. Had it on repeat for awhile.0 -
15 listens in and I am still enjoying this album. My car ride to school is 40 minutes so maybe I should be happy this is only 8 songs

Wow. I am loving this album! Don't understand all the hate for it. What really baffles me is people saying they don't "get it." There's nothing to get! It's music, you just listen and enjoy!
Definitely tops In Rainbows for me. Best since Hail to the Thief. I would say my favorites are: The Bends, Kid A, Hail to the Thief and The King of Limbs. Starting with The Bends, that's every other album, funny.0 -

oh really... what songs do you think 'suck' specifically.... because now I have to ask you .. " I'd like to see you put out something better." and "Can you do musically what Radiohead does and has done? I think not." to quote someone on here...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.0 -

Fitter Happier, Electioneering & Climbing Up The Walls. (#s 7,8,9). They just don't do anything for me.
And chill out, bro. Radiohead is a great band but it doesn't mean I like every song they've ever done. I've already said I'm done arguing...no need to keep dragging it out. :roll:0 -

i am chill amigo... like a polar bear in fridge... you were the one who came back at people who don't like the album and then asking them to produce something better... so i came back at you for the apparent hypocrisy of that statement and now you don't like it... which is why you've taken your ball home and you're not allowing us to play footballoh 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.0 -

Yeah, it was something said in the heat of debate. For the umpteenth time, I realize it's not the most valid argument. And yet you keep bringing it up over and over and over again. :?
I like the album, you don't. Fine. Give it a fucking rest.0 -

Electioneering & Climbing Up The Walls are my FAVORITE tracks on OK Computer!!!!
Its funny to see where/how people differ on tastes within a band's catalog.
Like, people actually liking Thumbing My Way. :roll:
Blows my mind
This new RH album.... I have yet to find a song on it that I DONT like
Lotus Flower is so goddamned addictive.
And the drums in Little by Little. freakin nuts.
