But Bloom is awesome. MMM is good. Not a fan of LbL though. Feral would make a good B-Side.
New Radiohead album available Sunday, May 8th at 7pm BST, new song "Daydreaming"

I absolutely love Daydreaming.
Sunday is going to be a good day.

I agree, but I see TKOL as more of a technical feat than an album I enjoy returning to. Watching them perform it live solidified that. It does feel genuinely different from anything I've heard.
I really like these two new songs though and I can see myself going back to them again and again. They do not feel revolutionary or especially unique, but they are solid for sure.
But Lotus Flower was the song that promoted the album. Who knows? BTW/Daydreaming could be the Lotus Flower on TKOL v2.0.

Ok, let's get this straight. We got new Death Grips, James Blake, Civil War Radiohead, Uncharted 4, and Chance 3 all within a week of eachother. I really don't understand what more a human being could ask for.

TKOL was them trying new studio stuff and the material was perfected as a band live, which makes the album a bit disappointing. The album is just a bit spare and lacking a cohesive band feel except on a few tracks. TKOL live is my favorite tour by far, those songs are just bewitching in a live scenario.
This song has aspects of TKOL techniques in terms of repetition and looping, but feels much more collaborative and dense. Its obvious (and stated) that TKOL was a transition album and this is what they've really been working towards stylistically.

I wonder how that's going to affect the music on this album. Kid A was a product of the band's mental state at that time, particularly Thom who had a mental breakdown. If this album is going to be as emotionally influenced it might just hold a similar effect.
Perhaps. Vulnicura is the benchmark for recent breakdown albums.

I couldn't really listen to the last album because of the terrible drum machines. One of the new songs is all drum machine and the other has no drums at all.
Feels like Daydreaming is coming from a dark place.

Also, based off the tone of this and feel that this album is going to be about failed relationships (and i'm sure very heavily political), could this be the album where we get True Love Waits?

Holy shit this is just an absurd week for music, like Jesus this year has been stacked.
With stuff like Crystal Castles, The Strokes, NIN, the Kills, RTJ3, another Kanye album etc all coming hopefully this year too I'm drowning in awesome stuff.

Not sure why you'd listen to Radiohead at all if you won't listen to electronic music

Bloom almost hits Weird Fishes levels live, absolutely adore that song.
Magpie has grown on me a lot over the last few years.

I have to say as much of a fan I was back in the day, I kinda stopped listening to Radiohead ever since In Rainbows (my musical tastes have changed is all), but I have to say this and Burn the Witch are damn good. I have a good feeling about this album.
Also Thom Yorke should be cast as Bob in Twin Peaks based on this video.

Yeah, my favorite tour for sure. Loose and experimenting with their material.

Yeah those keys are amazing. It reminds me of a video game but I'm not sure what. This song is beautiful
This is really good. The intro sounds a whole lot like Kid A, the song. Then when the piano comes in...chills.
Also, just because this song doesn't have percussion doesn't mean there won't be any percussion on the album. Just sayin'. Though I'm hoping for a good amount of live drums in addition to drum machine stuff...

Only Thom really....hope he's all right.

Thom does look like he's about to rob a bank or star in a Mann crime film.
