Maybe "half of my life" then and not "half of my love"

Ah I see.
On a side note Thom Yorke is only worth 35 Million and Dave Grohl is worth 250 Million is that just random Nirvana money? Radiohead is much bigger than Foo Fighters.
I remember when Spectre released and a lot of people were saying 'I hope LP9 is just like this..." and it turns out it is. I love the sounds they've gotten between this and Burn the Witch.
I can only imagine if Skirting on the Surface makes it on the record with this kind of treatment... can't fucking wait.

That sure wasn't me though, as I loved Kid A, and Kid A was also completely different from previous Radiohead stuff. These two songs really aren't that, except for the fact that Yorke seems to be all about dem string ensembles now.
These song aren't bad, what I feel is indifference, as if I've heard them already. Maybe the whole album works better together, but that's like literally the opposite experience I had with In Rainbows and King of Limbs.

They've put out a lot more records, they tour more, Dave also does a tonne of side projects, too. And Nirvana money.
Really though it's all about the touring. Dave Matthews is also worth about 250 million, and that's all tour money.

Fair enough, I was just googling Thom Yorke and saw his net worth and was surprised.

On the other hand, I don't know what advantages in life having 250 million would give you that 30 million wouldn't.

At least I'll have a new album for the morning train ride in to work.

Could just be based on the speculation these past few months rather than being anything concrete, but The Independent says the new album is called Dawn Chorus.

That's been rumoured for quite some time.
Either work well.

Could be both!

Dawn Chorus is the name of the shell company they created recently right? They did the same with In Rainbows and TKOL but they were named differently than the company.

i legit wonder if ed even plays anything on this record
Wow, wow, wow at the new song! It's gorgeous! Will be hovering over F5 like a madman on Sunday night.
Foo Fighters are far, far bigger. They're also much, much worse. Commercial rock is dull as fuck.
Which band will people talk about in 50 years time?

It's beautiful. Can't wait to hear what else is in store on Sunday.
I might be wrong (sorry) but I think I can hear a really high-pitch guitar with some kind of tremolo effect. Around the 4:20 mark.

Fucking LOVE Paul Thomas Anderson! Beautiful video and song.
I dunno, surely vaguely depressed teenagers will move on to something else eventually? I already feel like everyone over the age of 25 that's into that kind of thing has substituted Nirvana for the Pixies.

From the beginning I've felt this going to be OK, Kid A, IR tier Radiohead and maybe end up being their masterwork. I look forward to Sunday very much.

Love this song so much more than much of what they have released on the last few records. Day 1 for me!
Gross hyperbole, ugh.

I'm also predicting that this album is going to be eponymously titled.

You know what.....no lies detected.
My problem with TKOL is that the stuff where they tried to do something very different (Bloom, Little By Little, Morning Mr Magpie, Feral) just wasn't very good. These two new songs are different and have easily surpassed those four.
I dunno man. Bloom, Lotus Flower, Give Up the Ghost and Separator are incredible. These new songs are incredible too. Hype levels are through the roof.
