I would appreciate any link to this bootleg!

Mayo gets an unfairly bad rap. I’m not a big fan of it on its own (texture, heaviness), but it’s a fantastic base when mixed with other things.Jorge wrote:It tastes nothing like mayo.

Yeeeeaaah. Even Friend of a Friend is not straightforward at all. In fairness, I’ve only listened to the album once, and anything made by thom yorke and Johnny greenwood requires multiple attentive listensWaitingForBluey wrote:I'm flabbergasted by this take.

I got no problem with that.
i wish Radiohead, if they are still a band, would do the same on their next album. Just quit the whole get weird and do a direct album again. Maybe thats why i like The Smile last album so much, because it kinda feels like that.
Sames and it disappoints me. Moon shaped pool was great. Can't get into the smile. Feels like watered down Radiohead. Like the lightning bolt of RadioheadBirds in Hell wrote:I like Radiohead's late period records but everything I've heard from the Smile has bored me to death.
its way more melodic and structured than a lot of RH´s music like KOL for example.Fattie_Vedder wrote:Yeeeeaaah. Even Friend of a Friend is not straightforward at all.

Thank you so much! I downloaded this and had to install an audio player on my phone that plays m4a files. It was worth it. The sound is pretty darn good. Just got through Low Light. I was talking about Ed sustaining notes in the WFS thread... and well, he holds the "This dream I see" at around 3:03 for 18 seconds.Lmdmusic wrote:Bootleg sounds amazing!

What accent babe?Juvenal wrote:Finally listening the Bandsplain thing.
I know this is uncharitable - especially given the amount of sterling effort she has put in - but my god that woman's accent is simply atrocious. Veers into the parodic on occasion.

Yea i could get behind this.Birds in Hell wrote:Not only do I think Sleight of Hand is better than everything on Dark Matter, I also think it's better than Alive or Yellow Ledbetter.
I will admit there are even better songs still in the band's catalogue, however, like Evacuation.
