This is a goddamn masterpiece. I feel comfortable putting it up there with OK Computer and Kid A in the pantheon.

Re: Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool
Positively great interview:
http://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/publi ... h-friends/
"Back in the studio, the youthful technicians are checking things over. Jonny, ever restless, is in a brass-studded leather chair crouched over his home-made sound machine (little hammers hitting various objects) and its accompanying laptop, and Ed is listening to him in front of his long row of guitars. Jonny establishes a rhythm, part-calypso, part-reggae, with his yoghurt cartons, tubs, bells and mini-tambourine. “Sounds a bit like Marvin Gaye”, Ed comments."

Re: Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool
Nah I love Burn the Witch as an opener. Those very first string notes coming out the gate are so good

Re: Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool
Yeah, I'm not crazy about the album, but even I think you'd be crazy to move that from the opening spot.bodysnatcher wrote:Nah I love Burn the Witch as an opener. Those very first string notes coming out the gate are so good

It also ensure that the first word on the album is 'stay' and the last word is 'leave'.

Re: Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool
The "stay" "leave" thing is interesting enough but couldn't you also read it as "stay" and "don't leave" ?

Re: Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool
This album hasn't grabbed me like I hoped it would. Spectre would probably be my favorite tune had they chosen to include it. At this point, Decks Dark is still the one that appeals to me the most. Burn The Witch is not too far behind.

Today's the day. Will they have strings with them? Play the album in full? Excited to see the setlist come in.
