Mr. Not Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The only reason why "King of Limbs" is a below average Radiohead album is due to its brevity. The album contains Bloom, Codex, and Give Up the Ghost. Three completely irreplaceable songs. Make no mistake, if the entire album was of the quality of those tracks, King of Limbs would be the best Radiohead album without contest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was going use these songs as examples of its greatness: "Lotus Flower", "Little by Little" and "Separator". It's a solid album that proves a run time under 40 minutes is a benefit and strength.

Rutlefan Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Pitchfork has posted an article about Radiohead websites At Ease, Green Plastic and Follow me around. It's an interesting read and it also mentions some old message board posts from Thom. http://pitchfork.com...=social_twitter I actually signed up on At Ease message board back in 2003 and logged in last week for the first time in about 2 years, I was surprised I remembered my password! "At this point, there are teenagers Snapchatting selfies with their Radiohead concert tickets as their parents get wistful on Facebook about buyingOK Computer the first day it came out."So many things remind that I'm "old". Us old farts with our dusty copies of OKC and all. Edited May 16, 2016 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just listened to Spectre for the first time today...honestly one of my favorite ever Radiohead songs. Something about Thom's tone of voice is incredibly earnest and emotional in a way like he usually isn't. Should've been the Bond theme, I agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Flower and Separator are very strong tracks too. The only one I don't like is Morning Mr. Magpie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake, if the entire album was of the quality of those tracks, King of Limbs would be the best Radiohead album without contest. I do not agree at all. I like all three of those songs, but I can name dozens of Radiohead songs that are better. The King of Limbs is a good, solid album, no more, no less. Pretty much every other album they have done is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just bought AMSP, listening to it now. Probs won't finish before I leave for graduation. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So I listened to AMSP on earbuds today while walking to and from the library. Excellent record, glad more of it turned out like Daydreaming than Burn The Witch (though oddly Burn The Witch is the one stuck in my head rn, so maybe that's why it was the lead single). Very natural and soothing, though there's certainly a melancholic mood throughout, it's not as sappy and draining as Coldplay so that's very good as well. I wasn't really looking at track names that much, but I think Desert Island Disk and Identikit were immediate standouts and I imagine there will be more to come. I might venture to say I like it better than In_Rainbows right off the bat, but where it stands among the my three tied-for-firsts (TB and the two obvious ones), we shall see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanne Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've always had certain RH songs on my iPod and I decided to add more and I have a new found appreciation for Sit Down, Stand Up, it starts out normal and then it goes bi-polar! (And most RH songs are like that). I had it on shuffle yesterday and 'Just' came on, haven't heard that in forever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The band has been releasing vignette's from people interpreting sections of songs from the new album and the one posted today is my favorite so far. It similar to Karma Police video. It's 30 seconds long. http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 a much needed :bump: for the best band to ever exist thus far my personal favorite band. I like every song on A Moon Shaped Pool, but I still don't like what they did with the studio recording of Ful Stop. It doesn't happen often for the band, but I think they actually indeed screwed up with the final product here. I prefer the song live how it sounded before the official studio release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Identikit is fantastic both live now, on the studio album, and back during the 2012 performances. I really do like hearing Ed harmonizing alongside Thom on this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkROR4itLKc As a sidenote, I'm in such a habit of typing in "radiohead" anywhere and everywhere, that recently when I was just meaning to type in "radio", I had to stop myself and backspace, as i had typed "radiohea--" instead :P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitars I'll have to relisten to remember why the guitars might particularly annoy someone. I do remember that one being really strange on the first couple of listens. I wasn't sure I like it at first, but I ended up conceding it was just kind of creepy more than it was no-good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
