So if I understand it correctly, Burn the Witch is this prolonged "urban legend" track that Radiohead has had under wraps since 2003?

Begs the question why here and why now.

It's one of many songs they've played live but never recorded, though it's a fan favorite of those.

They only ever played a couple of opening chords, twice.

It sounds like it was always envisioned to be a very orchestral song and some are speculating the album will be more orchestral.

It's never been played live, outside of a few opening chords during a concert eons ago.

It's lyrics used to be up on their site, maybe in a couple of different forms over the years. It's just the unheard holy grail for whatever reason.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Woah we might be getting a new radiohead album today?! Pleeeeeeeeeease!!

I hope so. Spectre was a beautiful piece of work and if the album is like that, I'm gonna be all over this one.

 

[Blader]

Radiohead has a lot of great unreleased songs they've had sitting on the shelf for many years, but the big difference with Burn the Witch is that we've never actually heard it at all (save for a couple chords which don't really tell you anything about the song). So who knows, it could be shit! But the fact that no one knows what it sounds like adds to the mystique.

 

[DataStream]

I would love for an album of theirs to feature even more orchestral work than usual (though there is a fair amount on IR and OK).

It would be amazing if the album basically had Jonny's orchestral work backing every song and the reason the tour is so limited is because they were touring with a string section.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I hope this is the album that gives us Big Boots/Man O War. That sounds so good on Meeting People is Easy.

Every time this thread is bumped I have a panic attack.

Okay. Starting....now.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Okay. Starting....now.

Now?

Now?

Earlier.

 

[Sai-kun]

okay...now now

 

[Xun]

Now right? Ok.

 

[wenis]

okay...now now

But when?

 

[Nickle]

Maybe the album will be about nerds who get hyped about a collection of sounds getting released on a piece of plastic.

No, I think they'll maintain their political and environmen...HEY!

 

[Majine]

How am I supposed to feed my entitlement if there is no album today?

They're really stringing this out, aren't they?

 

[Steamlord]

The twist is they already released the album. It was Weezer's White Album.

That book The Plot Genie Index has nine sections making up the formula for a good story, each one a stage in the plot

1. Background or Locale
2. Main Character
3. The Beloved or Love Interest
4. A Problem
5. Obstacle to Love
6. Complication
7. Predicament
8. The Crisis
9. The Climax or Surprise Trip

Author Comments:
The Plot Genie is an antique plot index and generator originally copyrighted in 1931. It was invented by a man named Wycliffe A. Hill and published by Ernest E. Gagnon. According to Hill, the Plot Genie "is the result of sixteen years of effort to perfect a formula, and a means of its application which would enable student writers to inject plots into their stories." Hill divides dramatic plots into nine categories...

[hughesta]

Album gonna be 6 tracks confirmed. I was right yesterday.

 

[Jocund]

"I turn the six upside down/it's a nine now" - Drake, 9

Six upside down = 9 = LP9 = Radiohead.
We're on to something, y'all.

 

[Gouty]

All this nothing is just racking up album sales. Theres nothing quite like deleting your tweets for sustained conversation and interest.

Fuck you Radiohead release the goddam album.
