ReRushed Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 First impression ratings, given immediately after my first listen:Â "Bloom" - 5/10 "Morning Mr. Magpie" - 8.5/10 "Little by Little" - 7/10 "Feral" - 6.5/10 "Lotus Flower" - 9/10 "Codex" - 9/10 "Give Up the Ghost" - 8/10 "Separator" - 9/10Â Overall, I'll round it up to an 8/10. Not bad. I guess Radiohead doesn't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You know what else I like about this album - it's under 40 minutes! This being a Rush forum, I really think Rush should do the same thing with Clockwork Angels. In most cases, a run time under 45 minutes is so much easier to digest and enjoy.

This being a Rush forum, I really think Rush should do the same thing with Clockwork Angels. In most cases, a run time under 45 minutes is so much easier to digest and enjoy. I agree with that. In Rainbows was a shorter album (9 songs and about 43 minutes) and it doesn't feel like a chore to listen to the whole thing. Back when albums were written with the LP format in mind, that length was pretty much the industry standard. But with CD's and their higher capacity, bands began to put more into an album. Don't get me wrong, this can be a great thing. But it can also be a mixed blessing. I liked how In Rainbows from Radiohead, and Anno Domini High Definition from Riverside are shorter in length. But boy do they ever pack a serious punch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Jane- Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 This new album doesn't suck at all. It is so lacking in suckage that I haven't stopped listening to it since I got home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I like this the best so far....have to say I'm not too crazy about the first several songs...but that is only on my initial listening and probably will give it some more time to see if it grows on me.

ghostworks Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 as a pretty serious Radiohead fan, I gotta say I'm not impressed so far the album as a whole sounds like a fairly well-produced demo, especially the simple, uninspired drum loops that populate most of the songs that said, I find 'Codex' and 'Separator' almost perfect as they are - they're the two I've returned to most to date ('Lotus Flower' isn't a half-bad 'demo' either) this would be an interesting free download if it were, say, Thom's original demos for a proper album   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's a good album, that's about it. Groundbreaking? Nah. Innovative? Nah. Redundant? Yeah.  It may be time to accept the fact that Radiohead is running out of ideas. I just hope they don't go the route of a band like U2 and keep using the same bad of tricks and wear out their welcome. U2 is boring, Radiohead is not...yet. Again, The King of Limbs is merely good. I like it, I just don't love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I like it, but it feels like Amnesiac Jr. or something. Codex is the best song on here and reminds me of Pyramid Song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I like it  I picked up Hail to the Thief today. It was the only Radiohead album FYE had that I didn't already own; now all I have to get is Amnesiac and I'll have all of their studio releases. Then it's on to the EP's and such.

Ultra Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I like it, but I am wondering if they plan on releasing any of the other songs floating around like The Daily Mail, Skirting On The Surface, Open The Floodgates or Super Collider.
