Ive listened through Amnesia and In Rainbows, but neither clicked

:lol

Amnesiac is the WORST album to try to 'get' radiohead with.

Listen to OK computer, if you don't like them after that.....

....kill yourself. (j/k)

I like this song, the I might be wrong sound I can hear it as well. I like the kind of moody sounding bass guitar (I think it's a bass guitar)

 

[roosters93]

It sounds weird people talking about having to start at a certain album or Radiohead "not clicking" with them when they first started listening to them. To me, it was straight away. Radiohead aren't really very out there. :s

Amnesiac and Kid A are both pretty 'out there'

 

[Costanza]

The Harry Patch song was better IMO

 

[demon]

I'm a fan of both too! Muse hasn't evolved nearly as much as Radiohead, but the thing is I feel like radiohead changes for the worse a lot of the time. They also seem incredibly self indulgent.

Agreed!

They can be. Parts of Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief are proof enough of that.

 

[Veidt]

Have to say it again. Damn good song.

 

[JimiNutz]

Guess I’m a freak. Having never heard a song of theirs (other than Creep) I was walking around a CD shop in 97 and they were playing OK Computer in the store. Not only did I some how instinctively know it was Radiohead, I knew it was the hottest shit I’d ever heard. That remains true 12 years later.
That new track is cool, very dark.

This is kind of the same for me.
I'd only ever heard Creep and then one of my friends lent me OK Computer when I was about 14. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.

Really like this new song

 

[Dead]

Wonder if this is their song for the new Twilight movie

 

[Veidt]

God, I hope not. Because, if I like this song. And it's for Twilight, what does that make me?!?!

 

[Poimandres]

It was actually a fairly smooth transition for me, as between OK Computer and Kid A I discovered electronic music in a big way (mostly the IDM stuff like Autechre that directly influenced Radioheads sound).

Also, Muse have changed a fair bit since the early days. Unfortunately, I think their changes have probably been for the worse...

 

[Ezduo]

At least it's better than that Harry Patch song...

What you say?

 

[Rewrite]

I actually like it.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

I like this, a lot. But I am a sucker for Radiohead - it is one of the few bands which just completely clicks with me. It's as if they composed their songs just for my hearing pleasure.

 

[Always-honest]

really like it.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

love Muse, love Radiohead

but they're like apples and oranges, I never get the "rivalry"

yeah, i remember i actually wanted to send them a thank you note for OK computer :lol

 

[RadioHeadAche]

They do sound quite different.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

someone who likes a Radiohead song that is in a movie?

 

[RadioHeadAche]

It seems a little odd that Radiohead would have one of their songs in a Twilight soundtrack.

 

[C4Lukins]

Listen to the Bends and Ok Computer. They are the most accessible and really their best two albums. Kid A is great also, but not as accessible. Their last three albums have a few good tracks each, but none of them compare to the earlier stuff.

 

[Enk]

Some of it kind of reminds me a bit of the Diablo overworld music.

 

[Gr1mLock]

i still like the band but its gotten to the point where i definetly have had to smoke a pound of something to listen to an entire album..rainbows was good for that

 

[Gouty]

I called myself out for being a weirdo earlier and I’m about to do it again. In Rainbows is as good as OK Computer and Kid A. What what chicken in the butt.

 

[Gouty]

Holy shit, I hate to be an alarmist but is anyone hearing the rumblings about a new EP on Monday? Oh god oh god oh god oh god…………………………

 

[SmokyDave]

Love this track, love Radiohead, love Muse.

I never got the rivalry because by the time Muse hit it big Radiohead had moved away from that sound and Muse filled the gap nicely. Radiohead then went off on their Kid A / Amnesiac style (which I love) and Muse took up the baton left behind.

I still think the un-mastered version of Hail To The Thief is the best album any band have ever made.

 

[NotWii]

Hope they put Open Pick, Spooks and Man-O-War on the next album!

Some of it kind of reminds me a bit of the Diablo overworld music.

Phew, so I'm not crazy!

 

[rhino4evr]

lots of rumors about a new EP this Monday....

 

[Spooks]

lots of rumors about a new EP this Monday....

oh man... I hope that is true.

 

[proposition]

Doesn't have the "PROBABLY MY FAVORITE SONG EVER" vibe to it either.

I fucking love Amnesiac, and I Might Be Wrong is a big part of that.

 

[baultista]

Radiohead is, and shall continue to be the greatest band in rock history... not because their music is good (I don't really care for their music) but because they totally pwned Miley Cyrus.

 

[Gouty]

Now I’m hearing this is the song that was to be used for the Twilight soundtrack. I’d much rather a super secret EP is released on Monday.

 

[OptimoPeach]

So the consensus now is that this was intentionally leaked on what.cd: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13515_3-10309227-26.html

Ooooh, intriguing.

 

[chaostrophy]

OK Computer and Kid A are pretty decent albums but I never really liked much other Radiohead, either earlier or later.

 

[Epcott]

Soon it'll be just ambient tunes without any singing at all... wait, have they done that already? :lol

Anyways, two minutes and forty seconds in and... oh... here we go!

 

[Poimandres]

This... I can't really agree with. At all. In Rainbows is AT LEAST as solid as Kid A, if not more so.

 

[Mifune]

Good song.

I liked the Harry Patch one, too. Loved the lyric about giving world leaders guns so they can fight it out themselves.

 

[Davey Cakes]

What about Pablo Honey? Or other early albums?

Radiohead's later work is better than their earlier stuff overall.

Though, I would say take OK Computer and In Rainbows and call it a day, if you really want to get down to the Radiohead essentials.

 

[Dan]

Good song.

If you didn't hear, all the lines were statements made by Patch himself.

 

[Mifune]

Oh no, I didn't realize that the lyrics were direct statements from him. That might explain their poignancy.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Pretty cool song.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Definitely an interesting song.

 

[Tetra-9]

I'm digging this, it's got a good vibe. Whoever called it a mix between HttT and IR nailed it, that's exactly what I thought upon hearing it. Let's just hope they are making more songs like this and less songs like Harry Patch.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Love it. Fuck the haters.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I am the only person on earth who can not stand Radiohead.... really ive tried, I just cant stand them

'Creep' (what a shocker!) is the only Radiohead song I can stand. Otherwise I just find them to be amazingly dull.

 

[Tetra-9]

This is not directed at you, but nowadays I think of 'Creep' as one of radioheads more dull songs... they really have come a long way, and my god that song is just so boring and too simple i can hardly ever listen to it. that is all.

From an interview with Thom:

THE BELIEVER:…This isn’t the end of Radiohead album art as we know it?

TY: No, we’ve actually got a good plan, but I can’t tell you what it is, because someone will rip it off. But we’ve got this great idea for putting things out.

...


BELIEVER: What about the idea of an album as a musical form? You think that the format is still worthwhile amid iPod shuffling?

TY: I’m not very interested in the album at the moment.

BELIEVER: I’ve heard you talk a lot about singles and EPs. Is that what you’ve been moving toward?

TY: I’ve got this running joke: Mr. Tanaka runs this magazine in Japan. He always says to me, “EPs next time?” And I say yes and go off on one, and he says, “Bullshit.” [Laughs] But I think really, this time, it could work. It’s part of the physical-release plan I was talking about earlier. None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off. I mean, it’s just become a real drag. It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into that again. It’ll kill us … Jonny [Greenwood] and I have talked about sitting down and writing songs for orchestra and orchestrating it fully and just doing it like that and then doing a live take of it and that’s it — finished. We’ve always wanted to do it, but we’ve never done it because, I think the reason is, we’re always taking songs that haven’t been written for that, and then trying to adapt them. That’s one possible EP because, with things like that, you think do you want to do a whole record like that? Or do you just want to get stuck into it for a bit and see how it feels?

 

[TheGreatDave]

I could totally dig the idea of Radiohead putting out a few EPs in the time it'd usually take to get a whole album.

 

[Zaphod]

First time I heard Ok Computer I was thinking "Why did I wait almost a year to buy this fucking album?"

So freaking good, I consider it my generations Dark Side of the Moon.
