In fact, that's probably the only song I truly hate from their latter period albums.



I cant say I hate anything on the white album. (Let's stop being correct and just call it the white album). I think it's shizophrenic and awesome. And the super happy weird songs just sound derranged to me. It's great.

Metal Heart by Cat Power

I can't stand sayings. This song has the following...

"It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do"
"I once was lost but now I'm found"
"Was blind but now I see you"

OK Computer would be so much better if it didn't end with 'The Tourist'.

'Milk It' is the only In Utero song I don't really like.

(Y'all are going to hang shit on me for mentioning The Black Parade here, aren't you? You know what, I don't care. Great album, but 'Sleep' is trash.)

This is literally the worst opinions I've ever read it makes my eyes bleed. Electioneering has to rank as one of Radiohead's worst ever songs (and probably an opinion shared by the band themselves). The Tourist is the big release and realisation that it's gonna be ok. Whatever shit you're going through you'll always come through. Something always comes up, and that song celebrates that.
As for Milk It, c'mon, it's a great song just for the drums alone.

100% agreed on that one though.

For me it's the track Inertia Creeps from Massive Attack's Mezzanine album. I know a lot of people love that track but for me it just grates. Shame really cos it's one of my favourite albums of all time.

OMG, are people just here to troll?!?! :)

Ha, even reading through the earlier pages of this thread, I really am starting to think I am the only one not in on the joke...

Mezzanine is flawless in my eyes though. One of my favorite all-time albums too.

Peterpuff 03.27.2019 01:02 PM

I guess it's unfair to crap on peoples' choices w/o throwing my own out there.

But La La Love You has always sorta killed Doolittle from being a flawless album in my eyes.

The upside to that is the famous Doolittle vs. Surfer Rosa debate has never been an issue for me because of it. Surfer Rosa all the way.

Hahaha I know, I know sorry. It just throws me off the mood of the album

While I won't go as far as to say I agree...I actually do understand what you are saying.

Contre le sexism

More like contre le way to make me skip the first track every time

choc e-Claire 03.27.2019 02:13 PM

Haha so this is what it takes to break y'all.

I absolutely stand by both of those opinions. 'Electioneering' rules.

So now I'm experienced here, I'm not a protected species. I see how it is.

'The Tourist' is just rather aimless and bland to me - it drifts past. The only reason I can remember it is sheer repetition.
Meanwhile, 'Electioneering' blasts through. I love the drums on the track.

And 'Milk It' might be better than 'Very Ape' in reflection, but it's still one of the worst on In Utero.

Electioneering is indeed good.

Better now than when it was released.

Not a favorite track for me, but it was definitely the “Idioteque” of OKC in retrospect. The standout song that goes hard and throws the rhythm of the album off but fuck it because it’s great.

I'm inclined to agree with an earlier comment, that The Tourist (aside from being a beautiful little ditty) plays the role of an optimistic ending to an otherwise somewhat nihilistic album
