Mr. Not Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I like the haunting high notes of Thom reverb'd... I also like the use of orchestration. In those two respects the song is like Spectre, I won't mind if this will be the style for most or all of the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Do they get any creepier anymore? Is there any creepier place to go from here? I like it...but it's definitely sounding formulaic these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I found it boring but as always I like his voice. That was pretty! Forgotten the song already though. I should dig into this band again. We've talked about them enough times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've talked about them enough times. if you've forgotten this already. it may be the same for you with the rest of their work. i'd recomment Kid A and In rainbows., but Thom has really been in this rut for years now. lucky it's a rut i do enjoy, lol Mick Edited May 4, 2016 by bluefox4000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Since Kid A, their songs get better with multiple listens, and half the time multiple listens are required to even understand the songs. Aside from Thom's post-alt rock Radiohead vocal style I really don't see what people are saying is so same-old same-old about this track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid A is Amazing Since then yorke's been stuck. and while i do like it all. i hate that it get's the obligatory AMAZING stamped on it. it's the same......meaning good. more electronic ambiance. more yorke floating along vocally. the strings broke it up a little. lol Mick Edited May 4, 2016 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It is a Radiohead song, a good Radiohead song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It is a Radiohead song, a good Radiohead song. it is indeed......but it's still spinning their wheels. but ya know. it's later in their career. i don't expect revolutionary at this point.

ReRushed Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 There are very few bands in existence that continually push the envelope by constantly changing their sound or style. Radiohead is consistently great at being Radiohead. They found their groove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 HUGE improvement over anything off that POS King of Limbs album. Sounds like Elanor Rigby meets Depeche Mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm mainly tired of the "small" sound/production and the consistently unorthodox in the exact same way sense of melody. They find a smallish grove, build smallish intrigue around it, and Thom sounds like a cynical, but never bombastic, angel overhead. I'd like a real surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 OK, I can see how the song structure has been the same sort of deal for a long time now.. And I admit I like Spectre more than Burn the Witch. But the sound is that's new, especially the orchestration and the reverb'd Thom (which has been utilized before, but not in this way). I don't see how Thom singing angelic could ever be seen as a bad thing or tiring. It's his greatest feature as a vocalist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
