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

It's not that I don't like electronic music. The drums on the last album, for me, were just unlistenable.

 

[Mutagenic]

Sadly, this new music isn't doing as much for me as I was hoping it would. I heard it would be a new direction for the band and unlike anything they've done, but it really isn't. I was blown away when I picked up Kid A on release day and was hoping for a reaction like that with this album.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Burn the Witch didn't do too much for me, but Daydreaming is incredible. Love that video too.

Same here. Cautiously optimistic.

It sounds pretty new to me. Feels intimate yet sweeping and cinematic. There is an intimate, warmth to Thom's vocals this time too. And the production has a different vibe to it...hard to explain. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

Oh shit, you got the album?!

 

[Puck Beaverton]

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

He has the look of the loose cannon you can't trust.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Listening to Radiohead always makes me feel insanely depressed. They're obviously an amazing band..but so much of their music is so disturbing and bleak.

This new album seems to have shaped up into something incredible, though. I'll have to check it out.

 

[Steamlord]

And a new Juliana Barwick record dropped today.

(won't be a record for everyone, but god I love her stuff)

Oh hell yes

 

[robertsan21]

Daydreaming is amazing. Cant wait to get this album.

 

[gdt]

Well now. I love this trend of surprise album releases.

 

[outunderthestars]

Oh hell yes

Happy to see someone else who likes her work.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Didn't like KoL much but the first 2 songs off this album are really good

 

[Mutagenic]

Oh shit, you got the album?!

Who said anything about receiving the whole album?

 

[Doc Holliday]

Sad radiohead is aweome radiohead.

Getting some bulletproof and how to disappear completely vibes from this. So far I'm digging the vibe in these songs more than most of stuff in king of limbs.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

:')

 

[megalowho]

I get what you're saying - the dreamy ballad of sadness is a kind of song Radiohead has written multiples times before, usually one allotted per album. They're all nice in their own way, but it kind of fits into what's expected from the band at this point.

That being said I do feel they're playing in a different sound space, Jonny's work scoring movies has upped his arrangement game and they're leaning into it. There's potential for a great album depending on how it all fits once complete.

 

[yepyepyep]

Seems like it is going to be a very Jonny string based album, which is a good thing because his OST work is the most interesting out of the radiohead side projects.

 

[robotrock]

I keep on freaking out every time I see this thread title

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Truant]

I just want to remind everyone that Jonny's favorite game is Red Dead Redemption.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Someone should photoshop his head onto Waingro.

 

[Fluffhead14]

love radiohead, loved tkol

song isn't really doing much for me.

 

[TheMan]

They look so dead inside

they look like they picked up heroin habits

 

[Xrenity]

They look so dead inside

Colin looks boss man

 

[Doc Holliday]

they look like they picked up heroin habits

Wtf happened to them lol. Was in rainbows that long ago???

Shit it was :0 almost 10 years

 

[Blader]

Colin looks boss man

He started rocking that beard on the TKOL tour, it's a good look.

Thom still has that unfortunate haircut though...

 

[Deleted member 30609]

i dunno, I think Yorke well grew into his old wizard face

 

[King_Moc]

Lol, I literally have the same hair as Thom. Except I occasionally wash it.

 

[Pavaloo]

this song really takes me over half way

can't wait to see how the album sounds

edit: thom looks sick, i've been liking the new look since tkol

 

[Danielsan]

Jesus fuck. The new song is fantastic. I've also done a full 180 on Burn The Witch. That track is just fucking sweet with a good pair of headphones on. Can't wait for the album on Sunday!

 

[yepyepyep]

Doesn't Thom keep his hair long so it can absorb carbon dioxide lmao.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I keep on freaking out every time I see this thread title

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It brings a smile to my face every time

I just want to remind everyone that Jonny's favorite game is Red Dead Redemption.

And Ico!

 

[Mutagenic]

Jonny's lack of chin always freaks me out.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Ed doesn't fit in with the rest of the band even with the scruffy look lol

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Mehdreaming

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

i'll wait for Amazon MP3 to have it up first this time.

i tried buying their last album directly through their site like they did with In Rainbows, but none of the files in the zip had extensions, and when i manually set them the album art wouldn't open, and all of the tracks had audio issues. even after i redownloaded.

 

[Griss]

I have to admit that I got a shock seeing Thom looking so old. Even when he did that video for Ingenue with Atoms for Peace (not that long ago) he looked fantastic. Hoping he was looking intentionally disheveled.

 

[denx]

And a new Juliana Barwick record dropped today.

(won't be a record for everyone, but god I love her stuff)

Bring me those fives

(yeah this is an insane week for music)

 

[Oreoleo]

I liked the new song for the first minute or so, and then it doesn't go anywhere for the next 5.

Meh.


And yeah Thom looks a straight mess.

 

[bomma_man]

I think I've reached the point where I actively dislike thom's voice and lyrics. The music is great though.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Sounds like Radiohead alright

 

[Zombine]

What about vinyl?

 

[King_Moc]

What about vinyl?

There's a special edition going up for pre-order on Sunday. It doesn't say what it is, but the In Rainbows and King of Limbs ones were vinyl LP's.

 

[Paskil]

Oh man, Sunday? YES!

 

[GG-Duo]

I find that it sounds like Inception background music

 

[Zombine]

Really freaking thrilled. I genuinely love everything I've heard so far.

 

[whatsinaname]

That's great to know, thanks! Both songs sound great. (And I love TKOL too). So will jump in.

 

[Slygmous]

Both these songs are amazing, getting major Kid A vibes from the song-writing (but not necessarily production). Feels like a natural progression from the 2000-2001 sessions in a way.

Due to the lack of album track listing, I choose to delude myself into thinking it's heavily guarded due to megatons included (eg: Lift, Man-o-War). I look forward to disappointing myself.

 

[ShowDog]

I was pretty tentative after Burn the Witch, but Daydreaming is the kind of music I've been hoping for (beautiful song) and it made me appreciate Burn the Witch all the more realizing it's going to be a counterpunch to (hopefully) an album full of these sort of tunes.

I think this is going to be another great album

I'm worried myself. I want Identikit but i'm afraid the album centering around an Orchestra probably won't make the cut. I hope Open the Floodgates is in tho
