LoathedVermin72 wrote: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.
Beautifully put and I agree with every word. The only song on "HTTT" that strikes me as "retread" is "Go to Sleep," which sounds like it should have been on side B of "The Bends." But the musical forms and structures of many of the songs on "HTTT," in my opinion, constitute "new ideas" for Radiohead as much as anything on "Kid A" or "Amnesiac."

"A Wolf at the Door" is probably my favorite Radiohead song.

Hey, I get it -- that's kind of how I feel about people going apeshit crazy over this new song. Eventually Radiohead lets us all down.

At least Pitchfork managed to get their first thinkpiece up less than 24 hours after that video dropped.

I like this song. Sometimes I think I'm bored with it but then I play it and it destroys me again.

Just listened to There There again and not even LoathedVermin72's recommendation can ruin it for me. :heartbeat:
