HD DAD posted:If there’s one criticism I can give In Rainbows, it’s that the production was very clean and kinda sterile. Even Bodysnatchers sounds a little too “perfect”. Conversely, that's what I love about it. I think it's one of the all time best produced albums, and it's a go-to when I'm testing new speakers or systems.

I've said it before, but I also think it captures the post-2016 zeitgeist in the same way that they really captured late 90s ennui with OK Computer and the Bush years with HTTT. Daydreaming

They tend to reuse little phrases or names a lot, in ways that don't necessarily imply any direct connection between things. It having been an Amnesiac interview isn't necessarily that significant. Think of all the weird Kid A era scrawls and fragments that have popped up again decades later.

That's probably my favourite version of Videotape. I used to just listen to it on repeat when it came out on youtube (which was quite an exciting novelty, which is weird to think about)

Man, I really, really like that song. I wasn't sure for the first minute or so - it felt a bit bare-bones, a bit demo-ish - but then it just bloomed. It also feels weirdly modern, somehow. I think it's because it has a bit of In Rainbows/AMSP vibes. It's really quite nice Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Sep 7, 2021 |

Post 9-11 Windows posted:I'm listening to AMSP again for the first time in years and... Yeah, the quality of the album drops hard after the 2nd song, but it feels like I need to write something longer than this post to explain why. I guess overall there's just this anemic, passionless quality to it. It's like instead of the typical Radiohead fashion of wailing against the horrors of the world, this album started taking SSRIs and shrugged. They're not young men anymore, and there's only so long you can rail against how terrible the world is before you inevitably succumb to numb despair. Especially when things are only getting worse. I like AMSP for that reason Thom huddled in his little snow hole waiting for his little fire to die and then freezing to death

90s Shoes posted:the elements of detachment and the faraway warmth of amsp are, to me, kind of its tonal point. Yeah. What makes it work so well is that the feeling it evokes is simultaneously personal and universal. They (and Thom in particular) have always been big environmentalists, and they know what's happening, and what's going to happen. On the one hand it's an album about looking back on a life that is nearer its end than its beginning. On the other, it's the same thing but looking back on a species. This is made intensely obvious in Daydreaming, which is clearly about a divorce, but also, well, y'know: Beyond the point Of no return Of no return And it's too late The damage is done The damage is done Which incidentally is why Dugong posted:Daydreaming is one of the best songs they’ve put out.

Pirate Jet posted:Thom didn’t go on tour for Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes until Anima was almost out, I think a combination of horrible personal stuff plus Covid plus them being rich enough to not have to record when they don’t want to just has everything mega backed up. Radiohead may become a band that only releases a new album every decade but I prefer that in their old age compared to forcing themselves to keep putting something out every other year and all of it being impossibly boring Absolutely. I trust the boys to get together when/if they feel like it's artistically worthwhile, and if that turns out, down the road, to in hindsight be "never", then that's fine. I don't get the impression any of them feel any particular need to definitively wrap the band up. They seem smart enough to realise that they don't know what'll happen in the future

Yeah it looks like they winnowed off a lot of the artwork into that art book they're also selling It's too rich for my blood to get both so I opted for the vinyl box (and also the little book cos it was only a tenner) and will probably just download a pdf of the big artbook. It's not the same as having it in hand but I'm not made of money, Thom Radiohead EDIT on further look the art book is "only" £30...hmm...

Framboise posted:My "SCARRY" Book arrived the other day. I wasn't expecting how bulky it was. I got the TKOL special edition and it's fun as an art idea (no big box set, just a newspaper that is intentionally supposed to get ripped, brown and eventually rot to nothing) but not great as, y'know, an expensive special edition. Materialistically speaking. I didn't pick up OKNOTOK, but kinda wish I did in hindsight, since once the HttT one comes out (if it comes out - I hope it'll come out) I'll have all the special editions (they'll never do one for Pablo Honey or The Bends)

Rageaholic posted:Recently got a PS5 and I'm going through the KID A MNESIA virtual exhibit now. It's really cool! Lots of old Radiohead artwork and what I'm assuming are sketches of Stanley Donwood's. There are several rooms with neat visual displays, too. It's free, so definitely worth checking out if you've got a PS5. Less focused on the music than I was expecting but still worth seeing. Yeah it's amazing. I got really emotional, I used to inhabit Kid A/Amnesia for a year or so back in the day, so it was really crazy to have the same experience in a virtual environment - that feeling literalised. It also made me really grok the gap between then and now, and from what's in there it feels like Thom and Stanley do too A very fond remembrance of a very particular time

triple sulk posted:I initially regarded AMSP really well but it fell off for me over the last few years since its release. It's a great album but it's something you have to be in a mood for with how slow it generally is. I wouldn't say this album is AMSP 2 either but there are elements that feel more in line with it than anything else. Fortunately it's slightly more upbeat in places to keep it from dragging too much. The overwhelming mood of AMSP - at least as far as it seems to me is - is grief. And that's definitely not something most of us are feeling/wanting to feel, most of the time EDIT But I do get the comparisons. This album has a few more upbeat tracks, but so much of it similarly seems to be about dying/transcending/reincarnation/the general end of the world we're all living through

Answers Me posted:I think I may have read somewhere that it's a bit of a Jonny solo project that got out of hand - is that accurate? I can see how that's the case, and how this band could form organically without the rest of Radiohead being marginalised –if you need some vocals for something and have Thom Yorke on speed dial, you're probably gonna make use of it... I guess the counter to that is that songs like Free In The Knowledge and Skrting On the Surface are clearly Thom solo songs that have been floating around for awhile. I would just guess that Radiohead are still pretty deep in the fallow period and everyone's doing their own thing. Ed did his album and had Phil on for a couple of songs, Phil had his own solo album, Thom and Jonny (who I always got the impression are particularly close) are doing their own thing... Where's all the Colin action, though???

It definitely had a note of finality about it. But then, so many things do, and as long as you're still alive, things change and new things happen. They could as easily feel a bit looser again, like how they came back from HTTT with In Rainbows, the Vibes Album The Smile, though, that album is, if anything, even doomier than AMSP - though it has a lot of rebirth/transcendence vibes about it too, which AMSP didn't

I never 'got' ANIMA until I watched the netflix video of the same name, then it totally clicked. I think that Not The News is lowkey one of the most beautiful songs Thom's ever made. The album is still a dark, exhausting trip though. I don't listen to it often.
