If you grabbed the hacked minidiscs from their bandcamp page, someone has created a cue sheet/auto-splitter for them.

The 18 days thing did seem weird. Maybe it made it easier for them to donate the money in one whack.

You can probably find it other places, I'd say do a donation to Extinction Rebellion or some other similar charity though to minimize evilness.

I think every alternate version of Lift on these minidiscs is superior to what they decided to put on OKNOTOK. I get the feeling the band was trolling us by going with a flat, lifeless recording.

Anima is phenomenal. I’d go so far as to call it better than some Radiohead albums. Just absolutely stellar.

In Rainbows Disc 1 is the most vanila of all RH albums and is highly overrated by people who dont even care about inovation. Radiohead is good when they are doing something experimental and exciting. Like Myxamotosis or the kraut rock track Little by Little. Jigsaw falling into place could have been written by Chris Martin. Although, Videotape is a masterpeice.

I know that's got Planet Telex and other slight oddities but In Rainbows has 15 Step In any case I do agree with you, Radiohead are best when they're spiky not smooth. Which is why Kid A/Amnesiac are the best

The Bends was a hell of a lot more risky in 1994. In Rainbows is the #1 album of Radiohead by people who don't really like them.

I never gave In Rainbows a chance for years and now it's one of my favorites. Same for The Bends. (OK Computer, Kid A, and Hail to the Thief are my top 3 though) I thought Amnesiac was really overrated. It felt like it wanted to be Kid A but something about it just feels incomplete and not as memorable. Some great tracks to be sure, but I haven't found myself wanting to revisit it as much. And I haven't been able to get through TKOL at all. Just because albums like Amnesiac and TKOL are innovative doesn't necessarily make the others "albums for people who don't like the band", that's pretentious as gently caress Framboise fucked around with this message at 14:13 on Nov 12, 2019 |

Honestly who cares if music is risky or innovative. I just want it to sound good. They often go hand in hand but it's not like risky automatically equals good. Pop songs are cool too. This is why people hate Radiohead fans

Radiohead are more innovators in production. And by innovators, I mean them taking a lot of the “experimental” music they were listening to at the time and recontextualizing it into pop. At its core, a track like Packt is a catchy 3 minute pop song, it’s just filtered through some very intentionally wonky production.

IMHO In Rainbows is innovative because it showed that Radiohead wasn't a one-way road . When Hail to the Thief came out, lots of people would point to songs like The Gloaming or Backdrifts and say "ah, yes — this is what Radiohead will sound like in the future," as if all the band were capable of is a long, linear slide into ambient bloopy electronic music. But is that really innovation? If their next album had been the most echoey, the bloopiest, the starkest electronic album to date, would that be interesting? Or would that have been what everyone expected? In Rainbows opens with 15 step, a 5/4 track that blends rock and electronica and rocks really loving hard... who would expect Radiohead to simply start rocking again? Bodysnatchers is an even more direct and simple rock track... then later on you have tracks like Reckoner and Faust Arp, which were some of their most lush songs to date and sound like nothing they'd really done before. Anything felt possible in the band's future after In Rainbows.

Sure, they have their accessible rock like The Bends and more innovative and tougher to digest music like Amnesiac, but they're able to shift styles around and still sound impressive. Who knows what the next album will sound like?

Don’t know what that really means, but it’s been an observation.

Don’t know what that really means, but it’s been an observation. Music doesn't need to be challenging and complex to be good. It just needs to invoke the right feeling in the listener. I have a friend who has some very... high standards for music to the point where he'll even scoff at some of Radiohead's work and then he'll send me some tracks from some artist that just sounds like a lot of noise to me. Then he'll send me something super loving weird and on the disturbing end of avant-garde. Then he will turn around and gush over super simple bubblegum pop that I would swear he would see as beneath him. He's no musician, he just has really diverse tastes and gets bored easily, so I think his main drive is hearing something that isn't necessarily challenging or complex, but feels unique to him. I won't scoff seriously at him though-- more in jest. He's introduced me to a lot of great stuff over the years and influenced my tastes and expanded my horizons a lot too (I used to be an emo kid in high school who would only listen to a lot of bands I look back at and cringe at now). He's the one who got me into Radiohead to begin with after all. I think my ultimate drive in music is that while I like unique and challenging music, what I like far more is very emotional music and lyrics. So while I can appreciate albums like Kid A greatly, my favorite songs are also probably the most "accessible" tracks-- How To Disappear Completely, Idioteque, Motion Picture Soundtrack-- the most emotionally charged tracks. A lot of the other tracks sound very detached and I feel like that's kind of the point, I remember reading that Thom was more interested in the rhythm of the album rather than the lyrics being super cohesive. And that's fine, it just doesn't scratch the same itch for me. Framboise fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Nov 12, 2019 |

The production in In Rainbows really bothers me, it feels like they sucked all the air out of the sound (except for Reckoner and House of Cards, which are my favorite tracks.)

It’s very dry and close-mic’ed, making the entire album seem like a very intimate concert. It contrasted nicely with the stadium-rockish HTTT and was a good creative decision.
