Hail to the Thief Top 5...

[zonelistener]

top five...no order

2+2=5
Wolf
We suck
Go to Sleep
Sail

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

In no particular order:

There There
Sail to the Moon
Scatterbrain (probably my favorite)
Punch Up at a Wedding
Sit Down Stand Up

 

[HeartlandGirl]

After several more listens yesterday:

1. The Gloaming
2. Stand up. Sit down.
3. Where I End and You Begin
4. 2+2=5
5. There There

 

[joyfulgirl]

At the moment:

1. Punchup at a Wedding
2. Go to Sleep
3. A Wolf at the Door
4. Sit down. Stand Up.
5. Backdrifts / The Gloaming (tie)



But there isn't one song I don't like. I sense I will eventually lose interest in We Suck and it will become the Karma Police of this record. It already kind of irritates me. One of those songs that's amusing and interesting for awhile but quickly becomes the song I skip.

Did I mention that this is my favorite Radiohead record?? This was firmly established after a long roadtrip yesterday.

 

[Basstrap]

Sit down. Stand up is now contending with Wolf for my favorite song. When that groove kicks in I go haywire

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

still noone else has voted scatterbrain it its top 5.

wankers

please have it another spin itll grow on you im sure.

if not do the ronald in stead.

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

Maybe this will appease you. I finally got my husband to listen to HTTT Saturday night. Only when Scatterbrain came on did he say, "I like this one," even though he liked the whole thing. I think it was his favorite song off the album.

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

1. Where I end and you begin
2. Myxomatosis
3. There There
4. Scatterbrain
5. Go to Sleep

 

[dizzy]

Where I End and You Begin

I have to listen to it more to add the other four.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

lotta people say where i end and you begin has serious u2 influences. i dont see how, can you?

 

[Basstrap]

it wouldn't be out of place on Pop man...anyone can see that!!


amazing song though!!

X WILL MARK THE PLACE!!!!

 

[zonelistener]

There is tha whole "noise" thing when I listen to that song....I expect to see a large spinning, mirrored-Lemon coming at me or something. mmmm popmusic.

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

My top 5 as of today. (it changes by the millisecond)

1. Wolf At The Door
2. Wolf At The Door
3. Wolf At The Door
4. Wolf At The Door
5. Wolf At The Door

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN!

I can't stop listening to it!



that bassline

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

i get the feeling we'll never have an album this accessable from them again.

then again, i also get the feeling that they will never put out another album.

ep's anyone?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

A fantastic album! Enjoyed the whole album on first listen last Tuesday ( heard no leaks or snippets before purchasing). I can go on record and say that Scatterbrain was the first song that I truley fell in love with after hearing each song once.

5. There, There

4. Scatterbrain

3. Wolf at the Door

2. Where I End and You Begin - ...let me just say that this is an amazing U2ish like song that "sails me to the moon!" I hear this Do you feel Loved liquid bass beginning. When he sings "I am up in the clouds and I can't come down," I am thinking of the lyrics to Gone. And towards the end when the whole deal just meshes together, I am hearing this Lady with the Spinning Head (X-tended version) vibe that "sails me to the moon!" A very addicting song full of "Pop" love I must say.

1. A Drunken Punch Up at a Wedding. ...simply sexy, classy, and beautiful. Thom's voice really shines here. Of all the songs, this one I visualise quite easily on FM radio charts.

I think I need to mention Backdrifts (with its brilliant Cure-like piano bit), Go to Sleep, 2+2=5, and the beautiful Sail to the Moon which all will likely be "top 5" at some point.

[DiGi]

[Flaming Friar Sr]

[Flaming Friar Sr]

but i have to admit that where i end and you begin is stuck in my head all day.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

radiohead is bigger than u2 on this board.

 

[Elvis Presley]

radiohead is bigger than u2 on this board.

The only message board he really visits is this one. Sorry.

You know, I think I'll give Scatterbrain another listen as soon as I get home... Thanks for the motivation.

 

[joyfulgirl]
