I liked a few tracks from The King of Limbs (Codex, Lotus Flower, The Butcher which I count because it came out like a month later and you got it for free if you bought the album), but it was a letdown after 3.5 years of waiting after a truly great album. Hopefully they've had some better ideas in the past five. It is the longest they've gone between albums so they should've had some time for writing.

Popcorn posted:Little by Little owns. It's sexy and slinky and catchy and silly all at the same time. The only thing that bugs me is the apparent lack of bass guitar. I mean, isn't that weird? To just have no bassline at all (at least on the record)? Feral only has like one six second bass doodle.

Truly, Radiohead has yet to reach the heights of Chumbawamba.

True Love Waits or Daydreaming would be good songs to play at the beach if you want everyone to drown themselves.

As with most of Radiohead's albums post-OK Computer, it took me a few listens to get into this one, but it might be my favorite since Kid A now.

This review written while the reviewer swirled PBR in a snifter glass and wore a fedora.

BigFactory posted:You saw him pour Pabsts blue ribbon into a brandy snifter or could hr possibly have been drinking Belgian ale in a Belgian ale glass. No, I literally saw him get a tallboy of PBR and a snifter glass, and proceeded to pour said PBR into said glass. These people actually exist, yes.

Anyway, it's a good album but Pitchfork guy needs to tone it down a little IMO

Thom also does walk onto a beach during the video for Daydreaming.

I absolutely love this album, but I agree it should at the very least not be in alphabetical order. It's almost as if they don't even care if anyone tries to experience it as an album anymore. There might be a worse choice for an album opener, but not many would have been worse than Burn the Witch. Ful Stop should definitely be the first song, kind of in the vein of Packt Like Sardines. I also kind of agree with the production complaints, it's so quiet and hazy that it only works with headphones or a great sound system that you can turn up loud. If you listen on computer speakers to something like Ful Stop or Identikit, you're missing a lot and you'll probably think the song is boring. The cover art does suck too. quote:I agree wholeheartedly that there isn't some "ideal" length, cohesiveness is much more important. TKOL left me a bit cold partly because the two halves didn't seem to go together Speaking of which, I remember in the TKOL thread that a bunch of people thought that it was only half the album, and that Separator's lyrics "If you think this is over/Then you're wrong" meant there'd be more coming.

Decades posted:Further to Bodysnatchers / Ful Stop chat, I remembered that Cuttooth's beat is also similar. They love that groove. Cool how the three songs still feel so different. This album in particular a lot of the instruments are very, very quiet.

Well I'm definitely going to at least get the vinyl version, but I'm working real hard at talking myself into the stupid box of tchotchkes. edit: hoo boy, shipping on the regular vinyl version is $19 to the US. I sure do hope Amazon gets it at some point. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 19:46 on May 3, 2017 |

I guess I'm happy these songs weren't on OK Computer, but I'm very happy to have them now and Lift in particular will probably be in some of my playlists for a bit.
