Watched Punk: Attitude today, actually - its a pretty good documentary about the history of punk which mentions Television a few times. Doesn't go into great depth about everything, and skips over some stuff, but as far as music documentaries go its decent. have you seen we jam econo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu93 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm visiting Minneapolis and Milwaukee to see the baseball parks up here, and decided that this would be a good time to listen to some records I haven't yet heard. Yesterday I listened to Amnesiac by Radiohead, and today I listened to Hail to the Thief by Radiohead and Not Your Kind of People by Garbage. I wanted to share my thoughts on these three albums, and see how MOTS responds. Amnesiac - 9/10. I'm a huge fan of its predecessor/brother album, Kid A, and therefore this one clicked rather easy for a Radiohead album - while still making me want to listen to it more. I think I'm going to try and listen to both albums consecutively one day and see how it works. Oh, and this album's version of "Morning Bell" is interesting... I like how they rearranged it on this record. Hail to the Thief - 8.5/10. I want to give it a 9 because it's so good on a first listen, but some parts of it aren't all that great. That said, it's got a cool vibe to it. It's definitely a "drop-off" from the three prior albums, though, but those are also three incredible albums. I think I'd still rather listen to it than The Bends, though... call me crazy. Not Your Kind of People - 7.5/10. Honestly, I didn't like this album that much. Some of the songs were good, but I really don't like Shirley Manson's vocals on this record. Granted, the only real experience I have with this band is their debut (which I absolutely love), and maybe two listens to their second record (which was alright), so I haven't exactly followed her vocal evolution, but part of what I love about her debut is her voice - it's so unique. On this record she sounds, well, normal. That, combined with the "good" songs, make this album somewhat forgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
