my current

5. We Suck Young Blood
4. Sail to the Moon
3. 2+2=5
2. Wolf at the Door

1. Punch up at a Wedding........


fabulous, fabulous album.....cant stop listening to punch up and wolf today, not too often an album lives up to expectations the this one has so far....

-EP

 

[JOFO]

I'm still going with "there there", "sail to the moon", and "2+2=5".
obvious, but I'm really into melody and less avant garde these days.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Cool idea for a thread. I think half of interland owns HTTT.

My top five today:

5. Backdrifts
4. The Gloaming
3. 2 + 2 = 5
2. There there.
1. Sit down. Stand up.

 

[Elvis Presley]

yeah, its difficult to choose still right now, at least 3 other tracks could make the top 5 for me tomorrow....

 

[cujo]

It'll be a week or so before I can declare a top five...

but in the mean time, this satisfies my craving for not one, but multiple Radiohead threads.

 

[SkeeK]

1. 2+2=5
2. Backdrifting
3. Where I End and You Begin
4. Sit down, Stand Up (had a nice moment to day listening to this while walking through a nasty downpour)
5. Punch-Up At A Wedding

 

[Strato Edge]

Hard to narrow it down but:

1. There There
2. Sail To The Moon
3. A Punch Up At A Wedding
4. 2+2=5
5. We Suck Young Blood

 

[Kieran McConville]

I'm particularly fond of Wolf at the Door, maybe it's just me but I love the way he plays with the wolf at the door theme. I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up on the phone.

Also Punchup at a Wedding is one of their best songs so far, definitely in the vein of Life in a Glasshouse and such, though very different at the same time.

Not being inclined to a High Fidelity life, I won't make lists, but 'I Will' is another that deserves high mention. I think the piano is all over this album. Have Radiohead used a piano so extensively before? Probably not. Also love the fuzzy guitar thing on songs like Myxamotosis and There There.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

what is it about human nature, if indeed it is even our nature, to rank and order things?

 

[Lilly]

we like patterns.

[u2popmofo]

worst song:
Go to Sleep

the only one I will skip

Haha, I totally thought that when I first heard the album too Basstrap. I really didnt like it much at all.

For some reason I've really started to like it since I've gotten the final mastered cd though. I dont know why, it totally grew on me.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

since last summer when i heard it live, go to sleep has been one of my favorites. i dont know whats not to like about it. but then again, i totally hate knives out and dont much care for karma police so who knows.

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

indeed this is hard, as i now dont believe there is a single weak track on this album. here are my top five for now...

1. 2+2=5
2. there there
3. wolf at the door
4. go to sleep
5. backdrifts

Wow. it's as if you copied from my list!!? I guess good taste is abundant here in Interland.

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

worst song:
Go to Sleep

the only one I will skip

Unbelievable....

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

here is my list:

1. where i end and you begin
2. 2+2 = 5
3. Backdrifts
4. We suck Young Blood
5. There there

 

[Basstrap]

go to sleep isn't a bad song

it just isn't a radiohead song. It sounds exactly like a pearl jam song. Thom even sounds like Eddie Vedder

 

[u2popmofo]

go to sleep isn't a bad song

it just isn't a radiohead song. It sounds exactly like a pearl jam song. Thom even sounds like Eddie Vedder

I was thinking it sounded more like a Neil Young song to me.

 

[Dorian Gray]

5. wolf at the door
4. myxomatosis
3. where i end and you begin
2. 2+2=5
1. there there

[Elvis Presley]

5. Backdrifts
4. There There

2. Punch Up at a Wedding
1. Wolf at the Door

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

punch up a wedding is the sexiest song ive heard in a long time. i love the intro, the sweet bass and drum machine. it makes me want to have sex with ladies.

 

[cujo]

The percussion and rhythm sections on this album are superb. I think they stand out more than they have on any other Radiohead album.

PS- We Suck Young Blood is a scary song I have to say. For some reason it makes me think of sweat shop labor...

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

where i end you begin is the sexiest of them all!
