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

[zoetrope]

15 Step was better than I could've imagined.

 

[FitzChivalry]

LISTENING! YAY!

 

[xaviMF22]

Open pick is great

Videotape is next

give it another listen

 

[Lancemc]

Ouch. I doubt I'll like it less, as Kid A is my second least favorite Radiohead, only above Pablo Honey.

BTW, Lance, you might want to head over to Zoo Station, where we're laughing at your expense, in your absence, in numerous threads.

Well, Kid A is far and away my favorite album of their, so there's some perspective for that comment.

Now, on to Zoo Station.

 

[xaviMF22]

Videotape.

Sounds like the Basement Tapes version.

So far so good.

its nothing like the live version thats for sure

 

[LemonMelon]

The production on this record is so wonderful. I forgive Nigel for HTTT.

 

[God Part III]

Ok, so Jonny Greenwood is playing tunes that remind me about what rock'n'roll is all about.
I love this.

 

[xaviMF22]

Ed is back doing backing vocals

 

[nightninja56]

must...keep...listening....amazing...

i'm seriously about to pass out, but i want to listen to this whole album, dunno if that will happen tonight

 

[xaviMF22]

the drums on videotape

wtf

 

[FitzChivalry]

15 Step is blowing my mind!!!!!

 

[xaviMF22]

videotape

 

[LemonMelon]

I forgive Radiohead for Hail To The Thief. They are back. THIS is the band I fell in love with years ago.

Now...onto the tour... j/k

 

[FitzChivalry]

Is it my speakers or are Thom's vocals really forward in the mixes?

 

[God Part III]

Nude is blowing mine.
Flashbacks of hearing it for the first time, 18 months ago.
How can it be this good?

 

[xaviMF22]

Colin's work on 15 step is brillaint

and Thom's vocals are great

 

[intedomine]

Why haven't I got it yet, bloody slow pricks, the album better be good....

 

[xaviMF22]

1. Nude
2. Arpeggi
3. House of Cards
4. Bodysnatchers
5. Jigsaw
6. All I need

not too sure about the rest

 

[LemonMelon]

What's wrong with Videotape, exactly? It's a little busy production-wise, and it doesn't build to anything, but they hardly ruined it. Xavi, you love Motion Picture Soundtrack...why would you dislike Videotape?

 

[FitzChivalry]

its amazing

the best track so far

 

[LemonMelon]

Faust Arp is really, really good. Reckoner is already underrated.

 

[Lancemc]

Well, videotape isn't as cheestastic as the live version, but they didn't quite nail the outro like in the Basement Tapes version.

no build up like the live version

its missing Jonny's guitar

and those cool noise at the end

its good..I just expected better

 

[FitzChivalry]

(haunting feel of) Nude = (haunting feel of) How To Disappear Completely

 

[xaviMF22]

(haunting feel of) Nude = (haunting feel of) How To Disappear Completely

3:10 in Nude is orgasmic

 

[God Part III]

So Arpeggi just ended.

So far:

1. Bodysnatchers
2. Nude
3. 15 Step
4. Arpeggi

GOOD GOD I LOVE THIS BAND

 

[LemonMelon]

+ better than I expected, = satisfied, - disappointed

15 Step =
Bodysnatchers +
Nude +
Arpeggi +
All I Need =
Faust Arp +
Reckoner +
House Of Cards =
Jigsaw Falling Into Place =
Videotape -

The ending of the record is a grower, but the rest is mind-blowing. I love it.

 

[Lancemc]

Well, after first listen, going into second, I think I can place this about on par with OK Computer, which means it isn't anywhere close to being my favorite anytime soon. But it's still better than Pablo Honey and HTTT at least.

 

[xaviMF22]

the beginning of Arpeggi is beautiful

I love the way the guitars and drums join in
