Martha, I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I wanted to make sure that I confirmation emails from my buddies before I posted the link.

You do not have to apologize for anything.

i want to see radiohead live right now

this is quite good though I don't think it's that much better than the album version...

it had this amazing buildup

this is my way of saying goodbye

 

[Dalton]

Ok, I officially agree. Videotape should have been better.

 

[I'm Ready]

I've listened to it about 5 times now. My initial reaction might have been a little harsh, this is really an outstanding album, a contender for best of the year.

Bodysnatchers, Arpeggi, All I Need, Faust Arp, Reckoner, Jigsaws Falling Into Place are all incredible

I was maybe a little rough on videotape. It's still a beautiful song, just not as good as the live version. The version on the album works very well as a closer.

However if I were Radiohead, I would maybe use the live arrangement of videotape and not use it as a closer so it would still work, and then use Faust Arp as a closer.

I would say 4th best album. (worse than okc, kid a, amnesiac; better than the bends, httt, ph)

Just stopping by to say...

it sounds like Thom is singing in front on an empty Amphitheater

Jigsaw really ties the room together, man.

 

[lazarus]

I don't know which is# 1 and which is #3 as I dropped them both into iTunes at the same time, but I think I like the Toronto one better. The guitars are rougher on the Amsterdam version, and while they sound cool, I don't know if they fit the song well.

Do you know the date on the Amsterdam version Xavi? Just for references's sake.

the beat goes round and round

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm just so glad we have this thing out...the quality of the live versions are mostly pretty poor and didn't do the songs justice.

Will do a write up for epinions shortly.

How many times is too many times listening to this album in one day?

August 28 2006..the last gig of the 2006 tour

 

[martha]

i think this got stuck in my head for some reason:

I'm using this as my cover in iTunes.

I passed 5 by noon...

 

[LemonMelon]

I want tabs of the studio version of Bodysnatchers ASAP...I'd love to do a cover of that one.

 

[LMP]

[UnforgettableLemon]

Listening to that right now. . . x infinity

Strange that it grew that busy in a few weeks, and then it was stripped back down again for the album version. Which would have been fine if they hadn't added that awful drum beat.

<sigh>

Maybe if I can trim off the crowd noise at the beginning and the end I can substitute it and it will sound like it fits.

I just dropped pitchfork an email to ask if/when they'll be reviewing In Rainbows. Not expecting an answer, but that could give us a good clue as to when other websites will as well.

I'll find it for you

I'm using this as my cover in iTunes.

I've been using this one. I can't stand not to have album art in iTunes now that they have that "find album art" feature.

I wish they would have included album art with the download.

 

[lazarus]

Pitchfork did a "user's guide" to the new album (it's funny when indie snobs start drooling over themselves like children), and said a proper review would be coming next week.

Ah, thanks. (and to Laz, as well) Don't read much else on there besides the reviews themselves.

do we know what the cover looks like?

 

[AtomicBono]

do we know what the cover looks like?

well I was referring to the image posted

whether or not that's the real cover I guess we don't know. But it's on the cover for the actual record isn't it? Like in the boxset?

 

[LemonMelon]

do we know what the cover looks like?

The one on rateyourmusic looks like an exact replica, sadly enough.

The cover sucks pretty badly.
