"RA D IOHE_AD IN/RAINBOWS" continuing discussion thread part iv

[Lancemc]

Oh, I like it. But I like Bright Eyes too.

I guess I'm just not blown away by anything here. All I Need comes damn close. As does House of Cards.

But I don't even know if I like this more than HTTT now.

 

[God Part III]

Videotape finished, I thought it was great.

Radiohead's albums now:

1. Kid A
2. In Rainbows
3. OK Computer
4. Hail To The Thief
5. Amnesiac
6. The Bends
7. Pablo Honey

Now I can listen to 15 step again!!!

you didn't like HTTT I remember

give it time

 

[LemonMelon]

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

There's really nothing wrong with it...there's just not quite enough there to make it truly special.

 

[Lancemc]

I hated HTTT the first time I listened to it. Now I love it. But at least that was a radical emotion one way or another. I a bit "meh" over this one, at least as "meh" as one can be over a new Radiohead album.

HTTT was definitely a more ambitious album, if more flawed.

So did everyone get it for free. I feel kinda bad not paying something for it, thought 5 dollars would be fair. But it sounds like it's easier to get it for free than to bother with the hassle of going through all the info requirements.

 

[Lancemc]

I bought the Discbox. So I paid a shit load. Sort of regretting it now.

 

[LemonMelon]

I tell you...

The Bends/OK Computer/Kid A/In Rainbows

All works of art.

you bitch

send it here

we still got

8 more other songs to look forward to

 

[Lancemc]

Volta>In Rainbows

 

[God Part III]

Bodysnatchers = song of the album atm.

2nd time in a row now, FUCK this is good.

 

[xaviMF22]

I tell you...

The Bends/OK Computer/Kid A/In Rainbows

All works of art.

I agree

Nude and Arpeggi

raped me

 

[LemonMelon]

I think Jigsaw could use a more "plugged-in" feel. This album doesn't have quite enough speed, unfortunately. That's what keeps it below Kid A, I think.

 

[mobvok]

Reckoner sounds amazing.

I'm a little tired of hearing Thom's ambient wailing all the time, but it's not a deal-breaker.

 

[LemonMelon]

Pitchfork will give this a 9+ easy.

 

[Lancemc]

This album was the one that probably could have most benefit from a clean, front-mixed Thom vocal. And it's probably the most blurry his vocals have ever been.

 

[FitzChivalry]

WTF!!??


Videotape (as recorded and reigned in by Radiohead in the studio) = after World War III, in the rubble of a pulverized building, a lone tape recorder struggles with the last of it's battery power to eek out with its one remaining mono speaker the sounds of the once bombastic and euphoric Videotape of live performances.


WTF!!?? Can you say they muted the fuck out of it!

 

[xaviMF22]

Arpeggi

BUT THEN

THE BREAKDOWN..... bass line at 3:52 off the hip hop step -

I love it

 

[Lancemc]

The breakdown in Arpeggi is like a kick in the balls.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I'm listening to it on the radio at work - not loud enough to get a real feel for it, but 'at a distance' it sounds really beautiful.

I think that's the point. It would sound like Fix You if it pushed itself any further.

the vocal flourishes, no mumbling, lush, beautiful guitar, backing vocals/ondes...

not as fast as the live version

but it gets the job done

Definitely yes. I want to hear his voice without a metric ton of echo and blur fogging everything.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I've never heard "Fix You".

 

[Lancemc]

I've never heard "Fix You".

Thank god.

15 Step is the new idioteque
