New Radiohead release "The king of limbs"
 

Radiohead to Release New Album This Saturday

I hope it will be better than In rainbows.

double thread

Yeah but at least I'm in the right section...

Album title is actually 'King of limbs' but I can't edit the title of the thread :mad:

Anyways, yeah, i'm curious about this new release.

wow. Fucking awesome.

that is not fair, in rainbows was a damn good record, did you catch it live? I think In Rainbows and the Eternal are very similar records in that regard, that they are decent recordings, but live the material soars!

hey SYG..
"i put the beam on y'all mothafuckers, I said I'll put the beam on yo mothafuckers.. if you spend mo time concentratin on yo own shit, than playa hatin on mine, you might make somethin mothafuckers"

In rainbows striked to me as one of the most godawful put together messes I ever heard, it had it share of decent songs but that's where it ended.

In Rainbows was fucking great.

i still think in rainbows is their best after kid a and OKC. very excited for this one.

I can agree that it had several production problems and that is why I preferred the live versions. I must admit that I was initially disappointed because I had already been quite familiar with this new material when it was floating around live bootlegs as the "Nude" album, and these tunes were much better produced then. In_Rainbows had too much of a gutted, DIY sound and it hurt the material, but as Glice pointed out, it grows on you. Now, that album is pure gold, I even like it better than Hail to the Thief was was a knock out fucking record!

I am excited about this, I have purposely been toning down my radiohead rotation and news so that I would be better surprised, as I have been today :)

I never got the hate for In Rainbows.

I was kind of over radiohead and getting into more primal rock n roll when it came out, but as far as Radiohead goes, I thought it was their best in awhile.

I just put on Kid A for the first time in years the other day and gotta say Im getting back into them as Im getting older.

But still, they are not the end all be all genius's many hold them to be.

nobody ever is, and if that is all music is supposed to be, a wonderkind pissing contest, well then shit, fuck it.

There are some.

But you are correct for the most part and I like your attitude.

But I think to strive to be genius, you'll make some pretty ok stuff. always challenging yourself to get better and top yourself, keeps you from sinking into apathetic playing and writing and becoming stale. That's my mantra.

I agree.

IN Rainbows was disappointing. THe only songs I can enjoy without going to sleep are the two singles. (BOdysnatchers and Jigsaw falling into place)

so yes. I do hope this is better than in rainbows.


ps HOuse of Cards is worse than all of Pablo HOney.

In Rainbows was better than Hail To The Thief.

i saw them live prior to the release of In Rainbows and really liked that song live.

on the record it is weak, sadly.

same thing with the song Fingerprints of I Am Kloot.

i think "house of cards" is the only really boring song on that album. it was a bit better live, but still didn't do much for me. the other nine are all fantastic imo, and they could have really hit "nude" and "videotape" out of the park if they sounded like their previous incarnations (as they stand, though, still very good.)

Th eonly thing I like about In Rainbows more than Hail to the thief is that they play more instruments on it....but shit sucks yo.
