Saw them on Wednesday at MSG in GA and it was mindblowing. I lost it during the climax of Fake Plastic Trees. However, I saw the setlist on Friday and am really loving jealous, that would've been beyond perfect. We didn't get Let Down or How to Disappear, probably my two Radiohead favorite songs. Instead we got Spectre :(

Spectre is an album-worthy song, just like Exit Music was even though it was made for Romeo Plus Juliet



Ill Wind and Spectre fit perfectly on AMSP if you follow the alphabetized tracklist method they used, in fact the album feels incomplete without them.

Man, going to radiohead gigs sounds complicated, no wonder it costs so much

It's the most bother I've put up with in terms of live music. Not interested in doing it again but it was a great show.


Live event security is basically TSA at this point which freaks me the gently caress out.

Backscatters and Facial Recognition will be a big deal soon at events if they aren't already, and online ticket vendors are basically spy rackets anyways, so...


But, you know, all's normal if you pay a fee and submit to psychological evaluation for the state to become a Prescreen Member in order to skip lines.




I think the bigger issue for me is that entities like ICE and TSA, when funding winds down for their original purpose (say, in the absence for credible reasons to perpetuate a war on terror, etc), shift quickly towards exploiting new domestic private surveillance markets and domestic thuggery. It's gross and is simply an extension of the preposterous budgets of a corporate military complex.

Present Tense is probably the best song they've done since like 2006 or whenever In Rainbows was released.

It's certainly the best track off AMSP

Ful Stop is my jam to blast on my commute home from work

I'm totally fine with the tracklist being alphabetical (especially as that accommodates the bonus tracks perfectly), but the irrational part of me thinks the album would've worked perfectly if Ful Stop and Burn The Witch switched places.

I'd say that the Radiohead moniker has largely been used over recent albums to foreground particular member's visions.

It's not really a slight to say that AMSP is like a Johnny Greenwood soundtrack (even though the group itself has always flirted with soundtrack ideas)

And it's not a slight to say that TKOL is a Phil Selway percussion opera.






TKOL is definitely the most carefully constructed album the band has made since Amnesiac, their 'jazz' album, (which it feels like a sequel to)...and I'd put it in their top 3 maybe tied for 2nd with HTTT but below Amnesiac.

I'm serious you fucks, don't list the tracks of AMSP any more unless Spectre and Ill Wind are in there. They are part of that album. I don't give af where you put them order wise, but if you leave them out of the tracklist I will box your motherfucking ears, this has been a warning.

Daydreaming and Burn The Witch are perfect responses to the times we live in.

One of the many things I like about Radiohead is that they're really good at translating the zeitgeist into their music

Yeah, this is why I love HTTT so much, and love that they just smashed it out without refinement, it fits the time. When it was released I felt like there were very few artists who had the balls to speak up in such a blunt manner about the crimes of those in power. Everything felt dark as hell and life was moving so quickly.

HTTT has the best opening 20 minute run of RH's entire career.
