The strings on Nude and Reckoner are otherworldy!

House Of Cards too...

BTW, they did Arpeggi justice. It's awesome.

 

[zoetrope]

Reckoner is unrecognizable. I didn't even hear any familiar lyrics (is feeling pulled apart by horses in there anywhere?).

 

[Lancemc]

One thing I don't like about All I Need. They changed my favorite lyric in the song.

"You only stick with me, because there are no others."

has become

"I only stick with you, because there are no others."

Completely changes the dynamic of the song in a way.

best track

HOUSE OF CARDS

I'm visiting another dimension of awesomeness, I fear I'll never have this experience of sound again.

The very concept of music is pwning me.

 

[FitzChivalry]

but man they killed videotape

Haven't got there yet, but now I'm a bit scared.


Awwww, House of Cards.

I'm loving the lazy, laid-back, haunted feel of a lot of these songs. Very much an assured band - relaxed and in control.

he changed my favorite line too

I am all the things that you choose to ignore

to I am all the days that you chose to ignore

I think it's more consistent with the cloud of moths line, and it adds strange contrast to the title itself. I love it.

it feels like you're underwater and those drums and guitar pwn

Seems that way. Sounds like they're likely to stay this way too provided this isn't their last album.

Which is a damn shame if you ask me. We'll never see anything as adventurous or inspired as Kid A again from these guys. Which will probably make a lot of people happy come to think of it.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I listened to Videotape first, and I liked it a lot. Of course, I'm not comparing this and other songs to live versions, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing! But from my perspective, it sounds great.

 

[LemonMelon]

Faust Arp is back on again...it's so pretty. Like I Will, except more filled-out.

 

[Lancemc]

I am all the things that you choose to ignore

It always was "days" though, at least in the majority of recordings.

 

[FitzChivalry]

House of Cards!!!

It feels like I should be in a convertible, decibels up to 30 and flying down Pacific Coast Highway under a moonlit night!!!!!!

 

[xaviMF22]

I agree very chill and relaxing album

Arpeggi

 

[God Part III]

I love the track order.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place makes the jigsaw fall into place.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Reckoner is another gorgeous song. I'm pretty overwhelmed by how much beauty there is on this album.

 

[Lancemc]

Reckoner (why did they even call it that, nothing like the old versions) probably benefits from this production approach moreso than any other songs here.

I love this one a lot on second listen.

Not to bash Kid A, but I am one of those people, for sure. This almost tops it, IMO. I'll have to listen to it about 150 more times.

HAED ASPLODES

not always

he did sing "things"

 

[God Part III]

Honestly, I don't agree with the chill stuff you guys are saying.

Bodysnatchers is pretty much the new 2+2=5.
And Thom's vocals on JFIP is like some sort of comfortable paranoia.

 

[xaviMF22]

Faust Arp is back on again...it's so pretty. Like I Will, except more filled-out.

wakey wakey
rise and shine
its on again off again on again
watch me fall like dominoes
in pretty patterns

 

[Lancemc]

Glad you guys are digging it so much.

I kind of feel like changing it to Volta though or something.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Damnit, House of Cards! Tears in my eyes again!


There's a reason these guys are my 2nd favorite band of all time!!!

Open Pick/Jigsaw Falling Into Place . . . let's see . . . ok, but not blowing me away.

Open Pick

I loved

Guys - I've been refusing to listen to Videotape up until now.

The song is new to me.

Envy my situation.

 

[LemonMelon]

I am so happy. I can sleep tonight knowing that Radiohead are awesome once more, with the sounds of All I Need and Faust Arp dancing in my head.

Thank you, Radiohead, for coming up with such a wonderful marketing plan!

I wouldn't say that

I mean give it time...maybe you'll like it

15 is pretty experimental

 

[FitzChivalry]

Less than 1 minute to Videotape . . . let's see if I agree or disagree with Xavi . . .
