pt2112 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 QUOTE (ReRushed @ May 24 2008, 09:44 AM) Yes. I like the songs on In Rainbows better than OK Computer. Better melodies, better riffs...they're just better. OK Computer is like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. You keep hearing about how brilliant they are and when you listen to them you realize each respective band has released more "enjoyable" music. That's why I like In Rainbows and Revolver better. So I do like OK better, but I agree about Revolver though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Does anyone know if they've kept the set almost the same since the first night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Far from it. There's been a few similarities, they usually open with "All I Need" and close with "House of Cards," but so far they've played about 45-50 different songs. And they supposedly have 70 rehearsed. I'm pumped for August 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 There are already several great-sounding boots up on Dime from the May leg. I'm downloading Bristow, St. Louis, and Dallas. From the sample clips they posted, the band sounds amazing as usual. I hope people are still making consistently top-notch recordings like this when August rolls around.

Stormtron Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Knives Out has to be one of their most underrated songs. It's my second favorite after Idioteque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 "Knives Out" is the best Smiths song the Smiths never recorded. I'm digging "Climbing Up the Walls" these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only way to do it. Their first album isn't very good. "Creep", "Vegetable", "Prove Yourself", and "I Can't" are worthy songs. I tend to cherry-pick even off The Bends too. They were an entirely different band when they made OK Computer than they were before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yeah, but The Bends is still consistent and accessible enough to be the best place to start. I mean, if you want to start with Pablo Honey then by all means knock yourself out, but bear in mind that it's a 3/5 at best and everything they've put out since is straight-up indisputable 5/5 A+ 10/10 best-of-all-time level of stuff.

I wouldn't rank The Bends that much higher than Pablo Honey, honestly. Pablo is probably a 4 out of 10, The Bends might be 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but just saying, the point's not entirely indisputable. I thought it was crazy when I was talking to someone I know about Radiohead and they said they didn't think much of In Rainbows.

The O' Sullivan Factor Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'll suggest the Bends as well. Generally the album receives superb reviews (5's on nearly all of the Wiki links and amazon) and also I usually like starting into a band with their "breakthrough" album; and this is it. Â Fake Plastic Trees and My Iron Lung are two good introductory downloads if you're curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 just popped Hail To The Thief on. Criminally underrated album, infact, it's probably my favourite Radiohead album. I hope they play a bit from it in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The O' Sullivan Factor Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 eh... Hail to the Thief has some superb material (stuff like "The Gloaming") but it also has some real stinkers (stuff like "I Will"). While it's (of course) more good than bad I'd still put it after OKC, Kid A, and In Rainbows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
