Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool

[Norah]

Kid A

Oh yeah?

you got a problem with that?

[Birds in Hell]

It is the best Radiohead album.

[Norah]

for sure

[LoathedVermin72]

Second best

[Birds in Hell]

Go on.

EDIT: Oh, sorry, I see you already mentioned you like Thief the best. For some reason.

[matt reeder]

Go on.

Thief?



"Burn the Witch" is amazing. I'm really, really looking forward to this album.

[ridleybradout]

I'm sure I've done this before, but there are about 20 tracks vying for 10 positions so here we go again:

Street Spirit
Paranoid Android
Karma Police
Let Down
Lucky
How to Disappear Completely
Idioteque
Pyramid Song
Where I End And You Begin
Jigsaw Falling Into Place

I know it's cliche but OK Computer is so damn unfuckwithable. It really is the perfect album.

Kid A

Oh yeah?

you got a problem with that?

Let's wrestle.

[HardTI]

This song makes my meat loaf.

[Mike]

The ending with the repeated "We know where you live" is my favorite part. I love how threatening and pretty the song sounds at the same time. The strings really make the song.

[EJ]

Had to listen to this one with headphones to really appreciate it. Very good tune. Between this and Spectre, I'm pretty happy with their current sound.

Another vote for "this sounds great" and "now I'm excited for the album."

I'm not convinced those other albums fulfill the same sonic or emotional space. They certainly don't sound like HTTT to me. Kid A has a completely different soundscape (much more ambient, heavier on the electronic side). Amnesiac is jazzier, looser. HTTT sounds singular in their discography to me. Earthy, warm, romantic, dreamy, sinister, mean, cutting, and even aggressively rocking in ways those albums aren't at all. Adding in the more conventional rock instrumentation from The Bends and OK Computer to what they explored in those albums is a huge step forward, even if they take, in a manner of speaking, a step back to do it. It's a vital link that ties their catalog together.

This guy gets it.

Yup.

I have always viewed HTTT as Radiohead's Yield. It has it's own sound, but takes elements from their previous albums and blends them all together nicely.

[CopperTom]

Is Dawn Chorus the name of the new album?

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[pnjguy]

Every time I hear new Radiohead, which is never quite like anything we've ever heard before, I ask myself why Pearl Jam can't ever take a chance any try something different. And then I think, yeah ... Pearl Jam.

All the time.

I'm gonna overstate my case with some broadly general comments, but I think you'll understand my points:

2+2=5 = A fresh sound

Sit Down, Stand Up = A fresh sound

Sail To the Moon = a rehash of You and Whose Army?

Backdrifts = a boring combo of Like Spinning Plates and Idioteque

Go To Sleep = It's fine, but they did it better on Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Where I End and You Begin = It's fine, but they did it better on Bodysnatchers

We Suck Young Blood = a boring rehash of Life In a Glasshouse

The Gloaming = Pulk/Pull + Like Spinning Plates (though I do like this song quite a bit)

There There = Optimistic II

I Will = It's the first half of You and Whose Army repackaged

A Punchup... = A fresh sound for Radiohead, but it's a pretty straightforward RnB-influenced tune. Actually reminds me a lot of Elliott Smith's A Distored Reality...

Myxomatosis = National Anthem II (though I do love this song)

Scatterbrain = Paranoid Android + Knives Out

A Wolf at the Door = A fresh sound.

I'm sorry, trag, but this is a terrible post brimming with inaccuracies.
