    Loved the song instantly but I love the Talking Heads so it’s up my alley. Funny enough the 4th time I listened to it, it felt more like Pearl Jam especially with head phones on. 

    I bet this is what it felt for U2 fans when The Fly single dropped!
    Headphones is the  bomb

    Imagine the lights go down, and you just see Matt Cameron walk up to the stage and start playing this drum beat.  Then Stone and Jeff with bass and keys, while blue cascading lights fill the crowd.  Then Mike with the funky guitar part while Ed walks on stage and begins - cue the crowd going crazy
    Your Post got me even more excited about the Song! Can´t wait to experience that soon. The Podcast Teaser got me worried before but now I´m relieved and happy :-)

    Are we about to get PJ’s Srgt Peppers? Something completely new and has everyone talking about it? I’m pumped!! The 1st 10 seconds I thought I was going to hate it. Then Ed started in and took the song where it needed to go. Absolutely LOVE it. 

    But Sgt Pepper was an evolution and culmination. And Radiohead was an evolution.

    This is an interesting experiment, but it sounds like it’s out of the blue and I’m not convinced the vocal feels at home with the style of the music.

    if PJ came out and did the opposite, a song in the style of The Necromancer, a style I love, I’d be put off just the same.

    its a shame the kids don’t get guitar driven rock. It’s their right and their choice. And their loss. Hopefully this is a one off song and not an ongoing attempt to hang with the Lanas and Posts of the world. In that case it’s into Channel 23 for me for good.

    Lana Del Rey is kickass though, but different style ofc.  I hear more Prince and Talking Heads in this than I do Lana

    So glad my 12 week old baby had to eat at 1am! Love the song. Hoping for more experimentation on the album. 

    But I’m sure there will be backlash from the folks who want Ten all over again. Can’t wait for the lawsuit threats, and people threatening to give up their lottery seats. This will be a fun day on the forum =)

    Hah. Your baby knew.

    But I think the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

    Mike is channeling Jonny Greenwood!

    With all due respect to Radiohead, they have evolved with painstaking effort over their entire careers to evolve to an electronica art rock  sound

    This song makes me think of Halloween. They are putting on a costume for show. With close to the worst lyrical  chorus of all time.
    I dunno, to me there is something genuine and awesome about how this song evolved and was made per Stone - trying out new things is what being a musician is all about!  No costumes, just instruments and minds

    I love the chorus lyrically too but that is just me

    I wrote the comment before I saw the personnel listing posted above. Interesting there is of switching to new instruments. It sounds like it.

    when Kid A came out, the departure was expected and understood. It sounded like a bold but natural progression, and the band had the experience with experimentation to pull off such a stylistic change.

    but it’s interesting experience is not needed in pop music. Eilish comes to mind. Tons of accolades for a young person but her melodies sound very inexperienced.

    when I heard DotC I was like uh oh, it’s gonna get ugly fast. I’m happy I’m in the minority and fans like it.

    Well looks like we have our new standard opening song to replace Pendulum. Dance into a standard opener like Of the Girl or Release or Long Road? Yes please!
    I like the way you think!

    Thank you for this image is so perfect!  B)

    I know she has a lot of fans overall and on here as well. I agree it’s less LDR and  more Prince than her. I was attempting to reference current pop music culture and trends.

    im not sure if it’s obvious, but I do a lot of skipping thru my Apple new music playlist. Something about the current evolution of the beat is off putting for me, 

    Jambi just came on the radio,,,,, ahhhh .... shine on forever.
  • I loved it, I can't wait to hear it live!

    1st listen via cell phone low volume - Not impressed. Could not discern digital drum sound and bass. 
    2nd listen with headphones - Much better. Great bass tone. For me, too much in the vain of "You Are" which I do not love. I hope this turns out to be one of the skippable tracks on the release. I guess I just miss good *old* 90's style rock. Maybe the rest of the album will surprise!

    The first time hearing the intro I was half expecting Jemaine Clement to start singing about too many dicks or the humans are dead or whatever.

    It's new wavy and we all know Ed is massively influenced by Split Enz but it's still so new wavy that on first listen it throws you off that that voice (Ed's) is singing on a song like that. The synthy background tones also remind me of The Getaway album by the Chilis. Love Mike's guitar on it.

    Only two listens so far, I don't know if I like it but I'm pretty sure I don't dislike it. Admire their balls putting out such a different song-which reminds me of Who You Are in the No Code era, having said that we already know it's just not the same band as the guys from the early 90s.

    It's evolution, baby.
