and hold the fuckin phone here. the only "electronic" tunes on httt are sit down, backdrifts, and the gloaming. the rest is made by musical insruments

i know. it was a bit more palatable to me and shows promise, so im reasonably interested in their new album. at the same time, i wasn't all that impressed with the songs. but i was stoned a lot at the time and my attention span was pretty brief. i will be giving them another shot im sure. just wsnt my cup of tea. also, their place in rock history was cemented by ok computer, and since then they've pretty much dropped off the radar, only making music for the dedicated fans, just like pearl jam. their place in rock history was secured by their earlier mainstream genius. if they had debuted with kid a, nobody would know who radiohead is and nobody would miss them and they'd not be on anyone's "best band ever" lists.

sail to the moon is one of the best slow songs ever. there there, scatterbrain, 2+2=5, etc etc. damn its fucking solid.

I didn't hear that. I have listen to the album in the shop to see whether I would buy it, I didn't. Maybe I'll take it home from the libery one day and listen to it more closely.

Blind Melon

Hail to the Thief is my favorite. That album just rocks. Fucking Where I End and You Begin... I Will lead into A Punchup at a Wedding, awesome. Plus, the HTTT songs are played so much better live, as are all of their songs, but the Gloaming with the extra drumming parts live just sounds so awesome.
