if you think think a band should make the same type of music over their career, then you will not like/ appreciate radiohead. their diversity is what makes them #1 in my book.

the new stuff is more like httt in the sense that is a mix of electronic-tinged stuff, but it works well live. the kid a / amnesiac stuff is tough to do live, although their so fuckin good, they make it work.

from the new stuff i've heard, this album is going to be fuckin great.

but its radiohead, so that goes without saying. they don't have any bad songs. no evacuations

The fact that they do different things doesn't bother me one bit. I mean I listen to Motorpsycho and even more than Radiohead they sound different each album. I just don't like electronics. I hope to buy a new Radiohead album, but that doesn't need to be Radiohead old style. Might well be the first of a third era.;)

i guess being a huge techno fan, the electronic angle suits me well. i do not think this will be all out electronic. kid a / amnesiac was a tough album to do, and i don't think the boys could so it at this stage of their life.

plus, argeggi was about as electronic as i heard from any of the new tracks (not that its certain any of those would make the new album).

haha, that is your opinion mate. radiohead is great, awesome. probably my #2 band. but no bad songs you say? uh, i don't agree.

oh and by the way evacuation is a great song, it is a pitty so few people appreciate a big "fuck the pop" from the mighty pearl jam. that's what that song is all about

can you dig it?

Well I don't have my hopes too high, and besides they made two very good albums and two classics so I have enough Radiohead to listen to. They made more good music than most others do.

house of cards, 4 minute warning, 15 step, videotape, arpeggi, nude, bodysnatchers, all i need.

all really good tunes...with minimal electronics

do you dubble dare me?
ok, i'll play
to be really honest i dislike 80% of pablo honey, it is mediocre brit rock in my humble opinion.

but, and this is a big but, since pablo honey, i can't point out a bad song. so, you do have a point.

I heard three that Arpeggi thingy was one of them, don't know about the other two. It was live and didn't sound bad at all. Than I heard Thom solo and all hope went down the drain.:p

i should have been clear on the rules

no pablo honey. i know that's not fair, but i don't consider that radiohead. the bends started it all for me.

but definitely don;t take the eraser as a sign of things to come. think of it more as getting it out of his system. a band liek radiohead is not going to do the same thing twice. they did the electronic thing. i do not think we will see it again. could be wrong, and wouldn;t be disapointed if i was!

We'll see. Hail to the thief didn't trigger me enough to buy it, maybe they'll achieve greatness this time. It would be about time to, Radiohead is something from the past for me. I like them still, but need some new impulse to really get back into them. In my mind the last three albums were pretty much along the same line. Not the same, but not a real shift from what they did on the album before it.

well, since they've started the electronic "thing" (ok computer) they have never looked back. yes, httt is a bit kid a meets the bends, but it still has an electronic backbone. the electronics won't go, i'll put a lot of money on that.

thing is, i prefer post the bends radiohead, so it is all good

I am afraid you are right. I wouldn't call OK computer the start of the electonic thing, but I guess it makes sense. It is very different to The Bends. Still I would much more think it to be the end of the guitar based music as it is very very different to Kid A.

httt has so many great tunes on it though! you should really give it a chance.

i didnt care for hail to the thief, but at least it was better than kid a. kid a didnt have any songs really. just noise. he talked once on the 'meeting people is easy' video about how he hates pop music cos it sounds like a frige buzzing in his ear. that's how kid a sounded to me. just a bunch of noise with him mumbling over top. hail to the thief at least put guitars back into the mix (i should mention here that i LOATHE electronic music... play a fucking instrument "musician"), but even then the songs were uninspired and most of them sounded exactly the same to me. a slow quiet into with some bleeps and bloops, building to a climax where thom again mumbles louder and louder and mroe urgently that... well who the hell knows what he was singing.

that said, the bends is one of the best albums ever recorded. ok computer isn't far behind. im ok with expanding your sound, but if you're going to do it, make a song. they end up sounding like they want to be sigur ros or something, and there's only one sigur ros.

ill give the new album a listen, but i dont have very high hopes.

Can't wait!! Their last 4 albums have been genius! Amazing music is one thing but to actually feel it pulsing through is another.

i would argue te exact opposite of everything you said, so i guess it goes to show you that different people very passionate about different things.

radiohead's status in rock history proves i'm not the only one that feels they are the best band ever.

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

whatsthefreezer · October 2006

i'm pretty sure it will turn out like how a radiohead record usually does. great.
