Radiohead continued - Subterranean Homesick Aliens club

[lazarus]

I suppose I'm going to have to check out this Thom Yorke album.

Can't exactly say I'm excited about it.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I love it.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I like it so far, is it just me or is he using the same sample in Twist that was used in 15 Step?

Are you talking about the cheering sounds, because I was thinking the same thing myself?

Yep, they sound very similar to me.

 

[cobl04]

the kid yelps!!! love them.

 

[u2popmofo]

I love it.

It's going to be tough for any other album to knock it out of my number 1 spot for the year. Every song is great, I probably even like it more than the last few Radiohead albums.

 

[Joey788]

Ed O'Brien just dropped his first single, with a full album and tour coming in 2020!



I like it! It takes a bit to get going, but once that second half kicks in, it's pretty amazing. Sounds like a mixture of Steven Wilson and Depeche Mode.

There are a few songs I feel guilty leaving out because of how much I love them. Hard to do a Rushmore with a band with this much quality material.

I wanted to include something from The Bends but couldn't quite get there.

My gut instinct with these sort of things is 'nothing before OK Computer and nothing after King of Limbs, and nothing from Hail To The Thief, period'.

Unfair? For sure. There are a couple of astonishing and not-played-to-death deep cuts from The Bends (Street Spirit), and A Moon Shaped Pool does have its moments... but as all-timers, I dunno.

Has anyone spent any time with this "Public Library" Radiohead has launched?

https://www.radiohead.com/library

Not really a lot in the way of new content, but it's cool to have it all in one place, and free, and they layout is nice. Interesting idea.

 

[Joey788]

The new Ed O'Brien song is fantastic - I hear elements of LCD Soundsystem, Achtung-era U2 and some of OK Computer's spacey touches. Plus Ed's got a great falsetto. You can hear how much he picked up from hearing Thom sing for so many years.
