MERGED--> ALL New Radiohead/Hail To The Thief Discussion Goes Here - Page 32

Basstrap · 06-10-2003, 09:04 AM

the pitchfork review is in!!

it's long...but nice...

and, very oddly, many many references to U2!!

man...radiohead are going to be regarded as the most important band of our time i will promise you that much. There's not a band around now that isn't influenced by them.

and every album they've made is really good. Subjectively, I even like Pablo Honey
I realize I'm in a minority there...but objectively, nobody can denie the greatness of bends and ok computer and kida

Pitchfork has never rated anything radiohead below 8.0...and that is really a testement coming from pitchfork...rating a "mainstream" band

Kid A - 10
Ok Computer - 10
HTTT - 9.3
Amnesiac - 9.0
I might be wrong - 8.0
Air bag/how am I driving - 9.2

Basstrap · 06-10-2003, 09:05 AM

hey elvis!! you beat me to it you fucking bastard!!

I find the U2 references odd
pitchfork hates them and these references are nice...I think

Basstrap · 06-10-2003, 11:01 AM

I'm on my second listen

i wish it was my job to listen to new albums all the time

--------

2 + 2 = 5....just a great radiohead song...if a but like Pearl Jam near the end. Anyone else notice on thoms voice seems to turn into eddy vedders at times? cool though, no gettin' around that!!

sit down. stand up......dim the lights, pass the leaf...thank you

Sail to the Moon....a pure work of beauty. Please, do build me an ark

Backdrifts.....I really love these industrial-sounding songs radiohead have been doing!! kinda like the idioteque of this album. idioteque meets spinning plates

Go to Sleep....again; a bit Pearl Jammy and the melody isn't as fun to sing along with as the others

Where I end and you begin.....perhaps I could see this as sounding like pop-era U2; but I'm not holding that against them...sweet lord...this is catchy stuff...nice bass work!

We suck young blood....we want sweet meats - not a bad song...not one of my favorites though

The Gloaming - More trancy, industrial goodness

There, There - awesome single material. It makes me want to dance around and scream the words when "we're all accidents" cuts in

I Will - Gold!! nothing better than when the harmony comes in on "White Elephants"

Punchup - a weaker moment of the album I think

Myxomatosis - maybe my second favorite on the album...I can't talk about it here now cos I may implode or combust. KICKS SERIOUS GROIN!

Scatterbrain - gold

a wolf at the door - best track on the album. I will stand by this...THOM HAS NEVER PHRASED LYRICS SO GREAT!!!

gah...

I have a feeling the mediocre ones will also grow on me. They're already growing on me during the second listen!!!

better than Kid A? no
than amnesiac? yes
than the bends and pablo honey? yes
than OK Computer....yet to be determined

Red Ships of Scalla-Festa · 06-10-2003, 11:05 AM

awesome review basstrap.

seeing as i live in the middle of nowhere, i wont be able to get the album for a while yet. thats just great really.

Elvis Presley · 06-10-2003, 12:22 PM

I just purchased it

LarryMullen's POPAngel · 06-10-2003, 12:28 PM

OK, now I'm pissed I bought mine off the web, instead of waiting in line and seeing all the Radiohead geeks salivating over the 7 inches.

did you just say this? did i just read you saying "a weaker moment of the album"? WEAKER? perhaps you've been misinformed about what WEAKER means - you're implying it's LESS GOOD than other tracks. NOT AS GOOD.

the change in the beginning from the download to the actual album is kinda iffy - i admit that. but that song is not the weaker point. if we're talking weaker, let's point at we suck young blood.

wolf at the door has these subtle changes that make it a hell of a lot better than the download. thom overlapped and did harmony to the chorus (steal all my children if i don't pay the ransom). it's hard to hear it, but i'm sure with how closely we're all listening at this point we're all going to hear it just fine

sail to the moon - they've kept this pretty much the same, no? but something about when the guitar comes out at 2 minutes is more like a release of the tension built up before then. the arpeggios the guitar is doing in the back are brought out a bit more and it makes the song more beautiful than it was before.

and best buy had it on sale for $10 already.

That was pretty sweet, it only cost 18 dollars too.

Got both versions, also got a limited edition lithograph ofthe cover. super sweet. I love the new beginning of "sit down"

Ahhhhh....................

Red Ships of Scalla-Festa · 06-10-2003, 01:36 PM

how i long for the day when ill get my own copy.

Basstrap · 06-10-2003, 03:12 PM

in the meantime, bear, I think there a 3 cd's out from American Idols

Red Ships of Scalla-Festa · 06-10-2003, 03:33 PM

nah, i just got bon jovi's bounce to tie me over. this album rocks! theres so many guitars and ballads and messages about living life for the moment! i lovlollvovlvovlvovlvlvvlvlvovlvvovlvlvlvlvleve it! i love it! *kicks leg high in the air* i love it!

zonelistener · 06-10-2003, 03:37 PM

will deathbear go and see bon jovi with me in Chicago? He'll be playing all of his hits - they said so on the radio.

Anyway - I read somewhere else that Malkus, the Jicks and Supergrass will be opening up for Radiohead...I WANT DATES...anyone?

Lilly · 06-10-2003, 03:43 PM

bear - i've always thought you looked so sexy in those so-tight-they've-been-sewn-on spandex pants.

u2popmofo · 06-10-2003, 03:54 PM

Yes, The Jicks are Stevies band.

SLC, please dont just be a rumor. Honestly, there is no band on earth I would rather see live than Radiohead right now (I've seen U2, it's time for me to experience my second fav.)

Basstrap · 06-10-2003, 03:59 PM

I need to see radiohead

I neeeeed to!! there's rumours they may be playing in toronto and vancouver this august

PEOPLE!!
I have to see them

Red Ships of Scalla-Festa · 06-10-2003, 04:07 PM

basstrap, would you consider flying to see them?

Basstrap · 06-10-2003, 04:10 PM

I would but they sell out so fast!

I'm gonna be hanging
I have to be in the know as soon as the canadian gigs are confirmed!

Red Ships of Scalla-Festa · 06-10-2003, 04:13 PM
