Thom Yorke on Kayne West (the bottom two tweets are deleted)

WHERE is the lie~
>>
funny how Thom uses the emperor's new clothes fable to describe Kanye when people could very easily turn around and use it to describe Radiohead
>>
>>52767564
Thom is just upset because Old Man McCartney won't collab with him on his shitty music.
>>
>Thom Yorke
>criticizing anyone else for making overly electronic, boring shitty music

kettle pot black
>>
You didn't get the one with Thom calling him an uppity nigger?
>>
>>52767564
Kanye respects Thom but clearly the feeling is not mutual. Thom probably just feels threatened from the fact when it is all said and done Kanye will be the one history remembers. Radiohead might be mentioned in an article cited as a footnote.

And I thought /mu/ would ride Thom's dick harder than Kanye's...

OK Computer and Kid A are both more cohesive efforts.
MBDTF is sometimes weakened by its Pop sensibilities. It doesn't go as far as it can. However, it also isn't as compositionally strong.

Better production. Better lyrical themes. MBDTF was a critique of society and a character study of Kanye West himself. Pretty unique

That's true, but to say that Warhol was a "bad artist" you would have to have a pretty sparse knowledge of what his work was about and how art is generally critically judged.

As a side note, I was making fun of neoclassicists. Romanticism is one of the GOAT artistic schools of thought.

Lyrics were pulled out of a hat. And the lyrics aren't very interesting. It maybe has slight themes of depression among other things, but nothing really critical or worth looking into really.

In terms of what? The compositions? Laughably false. The compositions were massively superior on Kid A. Look at the Jazz jam in National Anthem. Look at the string arrangement in HTDC.
In sampling? Again wrong. Idioteque's sampling of Avantgarde classical music was a more profound artistic move than any sample on MBDTF.
>lyrical themes
Lyrics are irrelevant. I asked for musical factors.

But it wasn't. That sample was only there just so it could be there, not really profound. Mbdtf contains samples from nearly every genre and references kanye's career as a whole.

Also you said

Just a basic definition of the emperor's clothes thing: "used in reference to a situation in which people believe or pretend to believe in the worth or importance of something that is worthless, or fear to point out an obvious truth that is counter to prevailing opinion." I think a lot of people pretend to like Radiohead (maybe not people on this board, but definitely the average music listener) You know you could obviously point out that Radiohead is derivative of U2 and Pink Floyd and Warp records acts.

Oh I mean I would never say that Radiohead is a wholly original act, or that they are incredibly revolutionary. But they've put a lot of things out to a very wide audience that is quite challenging.

Holy shit. Am I being rused? It seems really moronic to accuse Thom Yorke of being an abstruse hack and then give Kanye the artistic benefit of the doubt. You're basically just engaging in the same mental gymnastics that you accuse Radiohead fans of.

What makes Kanye superior?

Well hiddidie hoe maybe I will put on my silly cone hat and dance around as I listen to it. Maybe I will give yr mum and dad a good fuck in the ass each while I do it too. Because Devo are so nice and they write songs about me it's the most fitting tribute I can muster for them. Thanks for the epin suggestion, friendo.

What makes Thom Yorke superior? Aside from the fact that he's white?

Pretty much all those hot opinions are trolling, what is recommended is that you refute his points for the lurkers, not starting a b8 witch hunt.

His compositions are superior in depth.

Tom Yorke is shit now and this is coming from someone who owns all the albums

Wow so fucking deep he's referring to the affairs on the state of the human mind struggles with society. bravo tom these lyrics were totally not randomly picked out of a hat.

Feel free to contribute something to the board at any time my man

But when he was great...
Why are the two even being compared? Kanye was a kid playing in a sampler while obsessed with fame while Thom learned actual skills.
>>
>>52769338

Definitely among Kanye's finer lines, but I do actually like the heads on sticks/ventriloquists bit. That's some really morbid imagery right there. Kid A's title track as a whole is pretty unsettling. And the sucking a lemon thing was a reflection on how Thom felt during the OKC era. Pretty straightforward in that context.

His lyrics are better.

I could do a full harmonic analysis of their music to prove this, sure.
>>52769422
The harmonies are more rich: Yorke is more inclined to utilize dissonance and multiple tonalities.
Between the vocal, string, and synth lines in All I Need, for example, you have the keys of C Major, e minor, and G Major.

There hasn't been a convincing argument made yet.

But fuck my word! How about Steve Reich's?

>He found two songs were particularly memorable: their classic "Everything in Its Right Place," from the 2000 album Kid A, and the more recent and upbeat "Jigsaw Falling into Place," from the 2007 album In Rainbows.[7][9][12][15][20] Reich describes "Jigsaw" as "a beautiful song" featuring "elaborate harmonic movement."[9] "Everything" he calls "a very rich song. It's very simple and very complex at the same time."[21] "It's three-chord rock but it's not, it's very unusual."[9] He explains that although the song is in the key F minor, the F minor chord never appears.[9] Reich also comments that the word "everything" is sung to tonic–dominant–tonic, echoing, probably unconsciously, the dominant–tonic chords that form "the end of everything in classical music ... it's perfect, it is everything."[9]

It's Steve Reich. Are you really going to question him?
Are you claiming to know more about music than Steve Reich?

Wow looks like ITAOTS is no longer the most effective way to troll /mu/
>>
>>52769644
Not that guy, but if you get ridiculously reductionist with every single point raised about the merit of art, then eventually you're going to hit the point where "what makes it beautiful?" doesn't have an objective answer. It's just because that's what mainstream academia has identified as deserving of merit for one reason or another.

Either way, I doubt you could name another song that uses multiple keys.

Steve Reich is an actual expert in the field of music though. This isn't irrelevant.

/mu/ loves ITAOTS. Anyone who disagrees should fuck off.
