TKOL doesn't have a very strong aesthetic to begin with (first 4 songs do, last 4 are like "eh fuck it"), so sure, may as well throw some extra songs in there.
Bones is LITERALLY (literally) a U2 song if you turn Thom's mic down.
Probably. There's a lot of gormless rubbish on there. I'll take the b-sides over most of the album.

I'm not sure that's true.
I wouldn't have put it quite like that but I sort of agree. It's about 5 songs too long. It just so happens some of those songs are some of their best work. It always felt like a retrospective of sorts, covering styles from their previous albums.

What? Have you ever heard U2? If you're going to say it's literally a U2 song you could do us the courtesy of saying which song you think it literally is.

Worth it alone for the big three. Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, and Knives Out.
Sardines is a good track too. As is Morning Bell/Amnesiac. Wasn't it B-Sides to Kid A in some way?
Actually, scratch turning Thom's mic down, he's doing a Bono impression anyway.
That's a great track.
If you take the Amnesiac b-sides and use them to create a better tracklist, Amnesiac would be their best album.

So you've actually got nothing then? Good talk.
Yes. How in the world did Pulk/Pull, Like Spinning Plates (live piano version is ace but the studio cut is dull), Hunting Bears or a second Morning Bell make it in over Org or Cuttooth?

Alright, we're descending into trashing Amnesiac. Drop the album already to distract us from this unfortunate exercise.

Amnesiac is their best and The Bends is great. You people are nuts

1. In Rainbows
2. Kid A
3. OK Computer
(3.5. How Am I Driving EP)
4. Hail To The Thief (would be higher if they cut about 1/3 of it)
5. The Bends (for nostalgia as much as quality, I suspect, if I'm being cruel and honest)
(5.5. My Iron Lung EP)
6. Amnesiac (which is still an 8/10)
(6.5. The second disc of In Rainbows)
7. Pablo Honey
8. King Of Limbs
I really, really hated King Of Limbs. I've listened to it about fifty times and I still don't get it. Aimless, tuneless, joyless.

Backdrifts is their best track, ever. Ever. Come at me, bruh.
Second best? Codex. Bliss of a track.

It is kind of astounding how that version never got a proper studio treatment (or it did but then they butchered it).
That's the first I've ever heard of anyone not liking Spinning Plates, and frankly, I'm taken aback!
1. OK Computer - best album ever made
2. Amnesiac
3. Kid A
4. Hail to the Thief
5. The Bends
6. In Rainbows
7. The King of Limbs
8. Pablo Honey
I really love each of the top 6. TKOL is a pleasant listen but nothing too special. PH is actually an alright record, but mainly worth listening to for historical purposes.

Hunting Bears is pretty but it's mixed so loudly I hate it every time it comes on after Dollars & Cents. Cuttooth is a stomper, love it to death.
It really is an exercise in futility claiming one LP/track is better than another. I like what I like and hate what I hate, and that is that... nothing going to change me, but me... and I guess that applies to everyone.
Anyway, I wonder when we'll get the next instalment of the video?... hopefully the full thing.

Studio version came first. It's 'I Will' backwards, I think. I like the original, it sounds so volatile and dreamy. The double vocals are awesome. Whole thing is epic.
I like Hunting Bears, it's one of their be(ar)tter interludes. Nasty sounding guitar.
Or Give Up The Ghost, apparently. Probably the most honest/vulnerable/naked recording they've got.

The verses are very Bono. That's kinda it, though.

I just put it on. That's the good song! I like that song. (I also like the one-off singles they recorded in the same sessions, and will NEVER understand why they didn't make the album.)

I always feel alone in thinking Hail to the Thief is their best. I mean, OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows are all up there, but despite hating it on release, HTTT has grown to be my favorite.
Most of those weren't done in time for the album.

Same here. But I didn't enjoy In Rainbows until I heard Kid A. Kid A opened me up to Radiohead. It's not one I go back to often, but it probably means the most to me.

It's definitely got some of their best stuff on it, it's just in a weird order and far too long.

Tie up between Amnesiac and Kid A for me.
Most of the days, it's Amnesiac though. I absolutely love that record.

You are alone. This is the kind of fucked up thing that has me showing my phone to my wife in disbelief.
She looked at me fearfully and asked if there were any more like you.
Hail to the Thief is an album I don't particularly realize how much I like until I sit down and actually listen to it again. The first half of the album is probably my favorite first half of any Radiohead album.
I think Kid A could be my favorite Radiohead album if it didn't make me feel so depressed listening to it. That's kinda why I find Amnesiac to be my favorite overall Radiohead album since it's Kid A but with more subtle abstractions.
Some people on here hating "Like Spinning Plates"? WTF. That's one of my favorite songs on Amnesiac!
Gotta say, though - TKOL has grown on me considerably during the past year. I really didn't care for it when it was released, but I think I appreciate it a lot more now. It's basically an album of two halves: the first, percussion based - rhythmically hypnotic. The second, drenched in atmosphere.

though I think they should've shoehorned "Staircase" there anyway. I fucking love that song.
Love that record and all the live stuff too. Boots from that era are smoking.
