Give Up The Ghost was very cool live. Lotus Flower is really bad live, which is a bummer.

Separator and Feral are the best songs on the album tho. I hope Identikit and Full Stop are on the new record because they were cool and good live.

Feral is an exercise in build and release if there ever was one.

Agreed. I think they confirmed in some interview that they recorded identikit at Jack White's studio so hopefully it makes the album, it was a real highlight of the shows I went to for tkol.

E: on a somewhat similar note, I'm really hoping Full Stop is on there too. Seemed very energetic from the bootlegs I've watched.

All of it? Like good songs but bad record, or you just think it's all bad. I could kinda get behind good songs that don't work when you put them all together.
The former mostly. I think if you slashed everything but like 6 songs you'd have a fantastic EP but yeah it's bloated and honestly the strongest songs are surrounded by stuff that feels tedious and barely fleshed out

I liked it much more after seeing them play it live. Myxamatosis wasn't really my thing prior to seeing it performed.

Yeah myxomatosis is awesome live, lot more energy live
Feels too....synthetic on album. I guess that's a dumb way of putting it but who gives a poo poo

Man have you ever listened to a single word of a gorillaz song. find me the happy one.

I realize they have a frequently summery sound but their lyrics are frequently just as sadboy as radiohead's.

Strangely the opening piano notes of Decks Dark also remind me of Gorillaz.

Yep. The very start of, I think it's Present Tense, reminds me a little of Revolving Doors from The Fall.

Found a couple more interesting quotes from Thom about the making of some of their older stuff.

quote:

"I guess I am narcisstic, but only in the sense that I am brilliant and tortured as well"

"Nobody wins the superbowl, I win the superbowl. I am the superbowl."

Sounds to me like she needed a lift. Shoulda put her big boots on and stayed optimistic, not pulled the ripcord and stayed in limbo. Instead she has disappeared completely.

Glad I managed to see them on the KOL tour, now that they're all getting old and less interested in lengthy tours I'm not real interested in driving for eight hours to Chicago to see them especially with the ticketing issues

His solo albums aside from the first one have been booty hopefully this ones a little more fully formed. Amok especially was disappointing, I bet the original sessions before thom and Nigel chopped it up into digital mulch were awesome.

I know everyone hates ranking albums but how about choosing your favorite 10 Radiohead songs in no particular order? Would this be acceptable or just bad and dumb? I'd be really interested to see some posters lists.

This person got banned but The ten best songs are present tense, there there, morning bell, life in a glasshouse, weird fishes, pyramid song, the tourist, talk show host, reckoner, and............SPECTRE

The anima movie was cool but the music was definitely the least interesting part for me personally. The eraser is good but atoms for peace and tomorrow’s modern boxes were incredibly disappointing.

Weird Fishes will probably always be my favorite Radiohead song. Finally saw them live in 2018 but they didn't play it, so that stays on my bucket list.
That stinks, it should be locked in to their set list permanently with how good it is live
