>>64649125
you think that makes you special?
back of the line pal
living in interesting times
>>64649099
one day left
>>64649125
My anus loosens in anticipation every time I see a pic of him
>>64649099
Yo I love Creep
Who cares? I'm tried of seeing this fucking crackhead's face everywhere. Radiohead is bland and boring as fuck, stop listening to baby's first alt rock becuase you're nostalgic for yesteryear.
I honestly don't get why people like music like this.
Literally the blandest music you could listen to.
>>64649439
i know this is bait but that's not coldplay
30 hours for new Radiohead album. holy shit its been a while
>>64649439
(You)
>>64649525
leak when
>>64649476
IT FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE PARACHUTE ERA COLDPLAY
STOP LISTENING TO 2006 ALT ROCK
>>64649099
>Guys we're getting a brand new Coldplay album in under two days holy shit
ftfy my dude
>>64649575
It really doesnt
>>64649575
>>64649607
Forced memes are not funny
>>64649125
>>64649154
It's okay, there's more than enough thom to go around guys.
>they'll never make an album as good as HTTT again
>>64649720
bends thom was objectively worst thom
>>64649733
>they'll never make an album as good as their worst again
wut
>>64649664
You call it a meme. I call it the truth, your taste is shit my friend.
>>64649762
>HTTT
>their worst
I think you need to listen to it again friendo
>>64649762
I disagree with both of your opinions, HTTT is my favourite and bends thom is a qt. How can you not fall in love with tracks like the gloaming? The only weak song is I will.
>>64649843
>>64649857
I just hate how it doesn't flow nearly as well as their other albums, even The Bends is an OVERALL better project to me
>>64649821
you can not possibly this mad in real life
>>64649875
I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about but HTTT is vastly more interesting than The Bends
>>64649607
DAE Coldplay did pianos first??
>>64649902
I won't disagree with you but as I clearly stated I was talking about overall cohesiveness wise it's their weakest project
>>64649875
I honestly think it flows fine, it feels deliberate in it's sprawling sort of disorganisation. It's not really the cohesive masterpiece that kid A is but it still feels coherent to me.
>>64649943
Pablo Honey???
>>64649988
damn good point
>>64649988
Not him but PH is pretty cohesive in its mediocrity. I love me some HTTT with a passion but it is pretty handily their most disorganized release.
>>64650003
>implying that's not the point
>>64649961
I'm also the kind of guy that has TKOL in his RH top 3 so take my opinion with salt
>>64650011
I'm not sure if that's THE point but I think HTTT works well as it is.
>>64649099
So does /mu/ have a safeguard in place to prevent a collapse from occurring come Monday?
>>64650066
nope
we're all fucked
>>64650066
Probably not, and Sunday's the day that /mu/ would shit itself.
>tfw I work on Sunday
>>64650024
Nah man no salt needed, it's why they're called opinions. I love TKOL and I would even say it's their most coherent record - no song feels out of place.
>>64649125
>>64649154
How long for the line to da based Jonny Greenwood?
>>64650088
>not calling in sick
anon this happens twice every decade if we're lucky
You know its gonna be good traaaaaack
>>64650106
Pretty long
>>64649880
I'm not mad I'm just annoyed this bland ass rock this has this level of hype
>>64650106
honestly it's probably almost as long
>>64649664
Tripfags are not relevant
>>64650149
Considering this band had a 6 album streak of critical and commercial acclaim is it really that surprising?
>>64650149
Hype trains are my only reason to live, I need to find another one to hop on after sunday.
>>64649575
I agree. Any band who still uses "instruments" and "sound" is a coldplay clone
>>64650267
>2016
>not exclusively listening to post-sound music
Get a load of this pleb.
>>64650149
Name a better contemporary rock band anywhere near their level of commercial success
>>64650339
Get out of here with your bland bait
>>64650197
Eh. I guess I'm just bothered that people still like this, like if someone said they were a Muse fan etc. I'd be surprised.
This kind of music just exists, I don't know anyone who buys or listens to it really it's just there. So I'm just taken back by all this hype becuase it all seems so disingenuous and cheesy
>>64650371
Bono is Thom's figurative father
Literally who
>>64650339
absolutely nein
>>64650385
Like it or not, Radiohead is pretty much a fixture of contemporary rock at this point. They do anything and people notice it. It kinda is what it is, there's no point in feeling any frustration over it.
>>64650331
I don't listen to "contemporary rock" so to speak, the only bands I can name off the top of my head are Arcade Fire, The National, The Strokes, and maybe Arctic Monkeys, and Vampire Weekend
This band is pretty much the water of white people music to me, it's like how any why does anyone enjoy this?
>>64650371
>>64650408
I have no opinion on U2 vs Radiohead but it's an objective fact that OK Computer wouldn't exist without Achtung Baby
>>64650397
I'm your literal father
>>64650419
Because its good
Radiohead is legitimately more interesting than any of the bands you listed
>>64650419
>tfw black and anticipating LP9
Eh.
>>64650385
>So I'm just taken back by all this hype becuase
I think you're missing the pint. Radiohead's discography is so vast that it draws in many different types of people, young and old.
They started out as rockstars, then started experimenting with electronics, then started incorporating pop elements and finally went full electro-art-pop-thing.
The reason for the hype comes partly from the fact that you don't know what to expect, and partly because they have an incredibly unique sound. Muse and the like never evolved as much as radiohead.
>>64650419
None of those bands have a member anywhere near as talented as Greenwood
>>64649099
it doesn't sound like The Bends or In Rainbows, so i'm not buying that shit
>>64650419
Tell me when the arctic monkeys release kid A
>>64650521
Daydreaming sounds a fuckton like IR. Also, way to exclusively like their most accessible albums by a country mile.
I like Muse and Archive, should I listen to Radiohead?
>>64650521
Ok, thanks for letting us know.
>>64650457
Not at all. The Only good radiohead songs are Plastic Trees and maybe Talk Show Host but that's becuase they both sound like they could be Slowcore.
And if you think Radiohead is better than Arcade Fire than you should evaluate you life. Radiohead is some of the most lifeless uninspired music I've ever heard.
Radiohead can't make a good full project, In Rainbows would be so much better if songs like 15 Step were slower,. That album is too scattered. I want to like that album so much too because I think the cover is really beautiful but I cannot get into it, that being said Reckoner is a wonderful song. too bad the rest of that album is ass.
Seriously though, Radiohead is literally the water of modern rock music.
>>64650419
>water of white people music to me
Fuck off, Tyrone. Don't you have a Kanye thread to be sucking dick in
>>64650625
>literally water of modern rock music
keep pushing your shitty meme that means nothing
shit opinion, discarded
>>64650625
>Radiohead is literally the water of modern rock music
Is that supposed to be an insult? Comparing them to something that is a prerequisite for life?
>>64650625
Is this a pasta?
>>64650625
yeah all the bands you listed wouldn't exist without Radiohead's influence. That's why they're not interesting to you, it's the seinfeld effect. Their influence is so far-reaching that they're just water to you who I assume grew up with modern indie rock.
>>64650507
Julian Casablancas has more talent that all of radiohead
>>64650546
It's called Suck it and See
>>64650478
>incredibly unique sound
But it's not it's so boring.
This is just a bunch of 20-30 white people jerking each other off, Radiohead is pretty much Dad's rock at this point, it's early but give it like 4 more years, same with Coldplay.
>>64650678
this
retard
>>64650685
continually repeating your shitty statements don't make them any more valid
>>64650625
>Radiohead is literally the water of modern rock music.
water is necessary to the survival of most living things on this planet
>>64650625
>Arcade Fire
Yep, that's bait
>>64650685
>It's called Suck it and See
Audibly kek'd
Good bait
>>64650685
ahahahahaha
>>64650625
>those song choices
>wanting to slow down 15 Step
I don't even know what to say.
Does anyone else have a hard time picturing BTW and daydreaming on the same album? The tone in the two is so different, they're both dark but BTW is dark in a catchy HTTT manner, whilst daydreaming is kind of heartbreaking and beautiful.
>>64650701
What's wrong with Arcade Fire. I don't come on this board much so I'm not up to date on all the memes.
>>64650810
boring, unimaginative etc.
>>64650625
Poor bait
>>64650709
Suck it and See is their best album. It's completely panned by everyone but it's their best. Trust me Danny.
>>64650701
No I'm not baiting
You're honestly telling me that this culttered fucking whinny mess:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VczuFb6HsMo

Is better than:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fENVQJGc18

Hell even the National is better and I don't even like them that much DESU but I can recognize their talent.
>>64650678
>Yeah all the bands you listed wouldn't exist without Radiohead's influence.
Great reach anon I hope you're all limber and stretched out now
>>64650660
I'm saying they're bland flavorless and not exciting, while most may enjoy them you can't easily see they bring nothing to the table
>>64650798
I can see Burn the Witch as an opener and Daydreaming as a closer.
>>64650828
Water is such a good thing though. It's just the stupidest meme.
>>64650828
How pathetic does your life have to be to put this much effort into bait?
>>64650798
Yes, I think they would contrast in a bad way. I can't take either one as seriously in light of the other
>>64650816
I don't know if these memes are really dank enough for me tbqh
>>64650798
why he's become so ugly. a true creep now.
>>64650828
Fuck do I love the transition in android
>>64650828
>shitting on EIIRP AND Paranoid Android
Serious or bait, either way you're something else.
>>64650852
You keep calling it bait but you're not even arguing with me as to why I should enjoy Radiohead's boring ass music >>64650478
This is the only valid argument I've been presented. Like I said shit is so so so bland
>>64650798
That fucking eye man
>>64650912
If you seriously think some guy mumbling about sucking on fucking lemons (which is autistic in an of itself) repeated over triplets on an electric piano is good music thank you need help
>>64650919
Your derivative shit is bland you fucking twat do you really put yourself on a pedstal because you like AF more than RH? Fuck off you mongloid
>>64650872
Piss off
>>64650854
Yeah, I love both but I'm really hoping that vinyl release means BTW wont be on lp9, and we get a bunch of killer new tracks in the vein of daydreaming.
>>64650843
They just don't sound like they even belong on the same album though.
>>64650944
Okay, now i'm lost. How can anyone honestly believe this is serious?
>>64650977
>tfw you like BTW more
>tfw it's not looking like it'll be on the album
>tfw no HTTT 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm sure most people are fine with that but it's my favorite album of theirs.
>>64650828
>>64650919
>Great reach anon I hope you're all limber and stretched out now
Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're a clueless child and not a troll:
- obviously musicians would still be musicians without key influences, but nonetheless without those influences they would not exist in the same form as they do with them in their lives
- Radiohead has been imitated thoroughly enough that through direct lifting from them, and indirect lifting from bands that lift from these bands, all the originality of Radiohead that you are saying isn't there has been rehashed and consumed by you through other indie bands, oblivious to the fact that these aren't original ideas.
>>64650977
>Piss off
fangirl please
>>64650985
I doubt it is. I'm happy for people to dislike and criticise radiohead but must you come to the hype threads and derail them when you clearly don't like them anyway, and specifically came looking for a fight?
>>64651010
HTTT is my favourite too but I really like it when radiohead experiment with new sounds.
>>64650944
>some guy mumbling about sucking on fucking lemons repeated over triplets on an electric piano
Is this supposed to convince me that the song is not kickass, because it actually does the opposite
>>64650985
I'm 100% serious. I don't get the hype behind this band at all I feel like it's all nostalgia for people the only people still left are in it becuase they were here as kids. They's nothing interesting about Radiohead I've listened though their works multiple times trying to get into them and I can't and I'm just sitting here baffled at they hype. I get it for other artists but not this group.
>>64650950
Yes becuase Arcade Fire has talent, they may seem "derivative" but I don't know anyone else doing Baroque pop like them. All I have to do is turn on alt-radio and hear 6 Radioheads.
Say what you want about modern Indie but it has more talent and soul than Alt rock like Coldplay, Radiohead, Muse, Kings of Leon etc. Shit is WOAT music.
>>64651061
I'm tired of seeing this boring shit constantly. I want answers as to why this music is "good" and nobody can seem to answer me, shit is so boring.
fingers crossed for faster paced songs
>>64651077
If you are truly serious shut the fuck up and lurk more
>>64651127
Why don't you explain to me how Burn the Witch is good than instead of acting like a child. I've sat here and defended all my opinions I ask you do the same.
>>64650944
no triplets, retard
>>64651106
Well I'm no musician so I can't really explain it to you in musical terms, but part of their appeal is their constantly evolving sound, which consistently remains appealing to listen to. I've never understood the 'all their songs sound the same' critique I've heard levelled at radiohead before, because to me they all sound so distinct. If you're the arcade fire guy, I like them too, it doesn't have to be a war between the two.
Anyway I can't understand why people would enjoy hip hop since I find that terribly boring, but I don't feel the need to go into the countless death grips fans and tell them that.
>>64651214
>hip hop
>death grips
okay dis bait
>>64651237
Genuinely not bait, is death grips not hip hop? Like I said, I don't listen to them.
>>64651271
In a way but there's no way they could actually be considered hip hop they have hip hop elements but they're more experimental hip hop
By calling them Hip Hop you're lumping them in with artists like Future, Kanye and Kodak Black
>>64651077
The big thing about Radiohead, at least from what I've been able to tell, is tact. They've got a good ear for mood and atmosphere but beyond that they have a knack for taking left of center genres like krautrock or IDM and distill it into a more digestible, pop-friendly form. And then they have Jonny, a classically trained musician who, aside from his usual contributions, can compose orchestral arrangements for the band, giving them an extra layer of nuance. They made a few well regarded alt rock albums (with OKC pretty much blowing the Britpop scene the fuck out) and then started incorporating new styles and genres into their sound, diving into the deep end with Kid A and then refining their explorations into a more alt rock form on Amnesiac. From then on there they've just refined their craft. Ultimately though it's their uncanny ability to take the unusual and make it accessible that got them as far as they did. It's that fine balance they strike that shows there's certainly talent among Radiohead, though it remains to be seen if they have much to say post-In Rainbows where their sonic exploration kind of hit its logical conclusion.
>>64651303
Fair, but the point still stands, no need to go invading people's hype threads
>>64650685
I seriously want to physically hurt you right now, that's how stupid what you've written here is. Congratulations. Holy shit.
>>64651333
Does it remain to be seen though? Daydreaming is pretty damn good
>>64651376
Daydreaming is also not terribly far removed from the IR sound. I actually find more merit in BTW's tense string dynamics and danceable grooves. It's still very Radiohead and it would probably slot right in on HTTT but I can't think of another song they've done that's quite like it. Not off the top of my head, anyways.
>>64651237
kill yourself retard
>>64651333
Thank you for you opinion, I respectfully disagree with some points but I see and understand where you're coming from.
Also isn't Kid A hated by fans or was that just a forced meme from a few years back?
>>64651375
If you live in LA I'll add you on facebook and we can arrange a fist fight tomorrow.
>>64651480
Kid A is widely considered to be a high point for the band alongside OKC.
>ended a 4 year relationship literally a week ago
>that Daydreaming video

>>64651480
>If you live in LA I'll add you on facebook and we can arrange a fist fight tomorrow.
*holy shit*
you ARE for real this stupid. that is some kind of astonishing. in a way.
>>64651422
The harmonies here don't sound anything like IR to me. It's also more layered than anything on IR was
>>64651504
Didn't Thom also break up , explains how empty he looks
>>64651504
Oh god dude I'm sorry
(Did you know the reverse lyrics at the end are "half of my life"? Referring to Thom's divorce...)
>>64651534
Yes. And to expand on what I said, the back masked vocals at the end of the song are Thom pleadingly singing "half of my life/half of my love"
Thom just got divorced at 47 years old to the person he was with for 23 years.
>>64651523
I was kidding, I'm not trying to fight you mark ass.
Do you really think I'd add someone on facebook just to square with them over an album? No nigga use you're head and stop being defensive about Radiohead. I don't act like that when someone says they don't enjoy my favorite band.
>>64651558
wow you are a child lmao
>>64651558
>mark ass
>nigga
17 year old white dude
>>64651569
Not at all but you know.
I just wanted to know why people liked Radiohead and nobody would give me an answer until now it was just people going "OMG HOW DOENS'T HE ENJOY THE HEAD OF RADIO HOW DARE HE"
>>64651593
corny ass dude lmao
>>64651582
19 Black and Hawaiian but you know.
Say you got a billion dollars if you got it correct. What do you think the title is?
>>64651531
To me it sounds like a more ethereal Last Flowers at its core. The electronic arrangements bubbling underneath are perhaps more free flowing than the band's usual fare and I do think the vocal manipulations are a nod to TKOL but while I do at least see it as having an identity of its own, I also feel like it could sit next to songs like Videotape or Nude rather comfortably. If I had to say it's like anything in the band's canon to date, I would first liken it to IR.
>>64651628
Half Of My Life
>>64651558
No, not really, but you can never be too sure around these parts.
>>64651614
and talking about mark ass niggas. cmon dude get off this site its fucking u up
>>64651480
When Kid A first came out some rockist fans were saying 'where are the guitars?' There might be a few still around, but since then Radiohead have actually used guitars quite a bit, and the fact that Kid A seems to regularly get named as one of the greatest albums ever helps.
>>64651640
"Lemonade" by Radiohead
>>64651691
Kid A still had its share of guitars. How To Disappear Completely and Optimistic were guitar driven, while In Limbo and Morning Bell featured noticeable guitar work.
>>64651733
True, but that's not how the rockists who spent the next five years saying 'guitars back when?' heard it...
>>64651631
There's something about the chord progression, it's far more classical than anything they've done before. Most Radiohead songs on piano are quite simple, but this is on some straight Philip Glass shit the way it arpeggios back into itself relentlessly while simultaneously driving forward at the same time. Idk it's hard to articulate exactly what I mean.
Plus, as emotive as RH songs get, I honestly think this might be the most existentially raw and directly personal song Thom has ever written. The most literal at that, too.

Dear tumblr kid,
I don't respect your opinion or taste
Go listen to some Arctic Monkeys 'n' Netflix 'n' chill, but never visit /mu/ again please
- Ubermensch
>>64651778
I think I see what you mean. In that light, I could consider the track something of a continuation of the forward trajectory IR already was on. It's subtle, so much so that I never saw it that way until you pointed it out, but maybe Radiohead does have something here.
>thom transforming from an angsty teenage nihilist to a wise old music wizard
He looks like he's experienced so much pain ;~;
>Arcade Fire is better than Radiohead
this is what millennials acually believe
>>64652013
Yeah honestly - BTW and Daydreaming sound more like what you would expect to hear on the album that would follow IR than TKOL ever really does besides maybe Bloom a little bit.
>>64650003
Wasn't the track list for the album fucked up? I remember reading that Thom did a blog post with the ideal track list and it was shorter
>>64652078
The HTTT sessions were kinda rushed - if I recall correctly the entire creative process happened in like 2 weeks - and they didn't give the tracklist the usual attention that they would. The band has expressed regret about that in retrospect, and Thom did go so far as to offer an alternative tracklist, one that I admittedly have not listened to yet. Really should do that someday considering how much I like the album.
>>64649857
Listen to I will from COM LAG it's great !
>>64652074
TKOL's placement is weird because it feels like a krautrock jam session, though the band did come out and say that they didn't have it in them to immediately follow up IR with an equally huge undertaking. It was probably a cooldown record for them, and I can respect that. It certainly sounds like one, in any case.
>>64651990
>Ubermensch
Why are you signing your post like you're relevant in anyway
>>64652175
Yeah. I remember them saying as much too, specifically Ed saying it was a much lighter, easy going, less intense process for TKOL. Not that they half assed it, but it sounds like they didn't go into the grind as much as they have with basically every other record they've made.
It sounds as much too, but like you said, there probably wouldn't be something as transcendently ambitious in the works as LP9 if not for it, so I guess that's alright.
>>64651077
Assuming you are serious and this isn't bait, I'll gie it a shot.
The primary reason Radiohead has been so celebrated among critics is because they've found a great balance between texture and composition.
Listening to anything post-bends you can hear the level of detail that goes into the music, theirs dozens of different textures and sounds layered on top of each other. Each sound has a purpose and adds something to the over all piece unlike the cluttered and pointless experimentation you sometimes here with "experimental rock" bands. You can always expect to hear some interesting layering on a Radiohead record.
The compositions are always interesting. They rarely use standard progressions or follow standard song structure. They'll incorporate strange permutations of chords often with beautiful results (see You And Whose Army) and in recent times they've started incorporating really intricate percussion (this is part of the appeal of 15 step).
Of course, all these intricacies alone are not the reason for their popularity. They're popular because they manage to take these complex arrangements and craft beautiful, catchy and relatively accessible music with them. The song lengths aren't particularly long and even somebody skimming the surface of a song can at least appreciate the melody or a catchy hook.
If you think the music is boring, my advice would be listen more closely.
>>64651888
2x12 for sure
>>64650828
>Paranoid Android
Thanks for posting that, I could lid=sten to this song 24/7 and not get bored of it.

>>64652756
This thread is going to explode that you put Pablo before Kid A, but I actually agree. I used to hate Pablo, but I fucking love it now.
It has it's own atmosphere.

>nobody will
>>64652134
Hm? I've got COM LAG but it doesn't have I Will on it, am I missing a track?
>>64653102
I find the transition between Bodysnatchers and Nude kind of jarring personally. Although you're right about HTDC and Idioteque. I trust them anyways.
>>64653743
I think we all see ourselves in him. Well except the good musician part, I'm a shit musician.

Thom's alternate track listing saves this album.
Yorke has ghastly teeth
>>64654044
But those are two of my favourites. The alternate tracklist also cuts out punchup at a wedding. I understand why Thom came up with it but I don't like it at all.
>>64654044
No punchup though

How do you define weak? I love that song.
>>64654083

Shit. I'm too hype now and I can't come down.
Are there any other cool things like the OK Computer / In Rainbows synch thing. I feel like there are a lot of hidden secrets I've yet to discover
>>64654143
Spinning Plates is I Will played backwards
>>64654083
They're cute and wonky, just like his eye.
>>64654119
Actually weak is the wrong word, I just don't really like it much, and I tend to skip it when I'm not feeling it. And I hate skipping songs normally.
>>64654143
Play Pulk/Pull backwards and you clearly hear the words 'I buried Phil'
>>64654111
Total qt.
>>64654143
Creep was plagiarised and RH had to pay out in a lawsuit.
>>64654215
lol no wonder they hate that song. I mean aside from it being creep.
>>64654143
The "In Rainbows" sung in Reckoner:
However it’s placement in the album on this song is a reference to the golden ratio. It was the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, who first defined the golden ratio, an aesthetically pleasing proportioning within a piece. A mathematical constant, the golden ratio is calculated as approximately 1.6180339887. In a work of art it appears at 1/1.618, or about 61.8% of a way through. On In Rainbows 2 minutes 49 seconds into "Reckoner” is 61.8% of the way through the album. At the golden ratio of In Rainbows, which occurs 2 minutes 49 seconds into “Reckoner,” the background vocals can be heard singing “In Rainbows.
>>64654215
It's literally a I IV V Vm chord progression. It's so common it would have been difficult not to been done before by someone else
>>64654266
What
this thread is hilarious
>>64654143
If you play down is the new up upside down the song actually sounds the same meaning is actually a palindrome
>>64654289
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HydvceA1PAI
>>64654351
it has the same groove and chord pattern in the verse
how on earth is this plagiarism so many songs have this in common
>>64654295
They sing In Rainbows at the golden ratio of the album, basically
>>64654412
I think its that melody line in the verse - its the same
Am I a hopeless pleb for still kind of wishing they'd recorded the full band version of Videotape? The album version's good, but the live versions pretty much sounded like the greatest thing in world history.
>>64649099
it's just a bummer that most people will be unable to recognize the essentially confirmed 2016 "postpostmodern" approach of the whole thing
>>64654460
Is there a live version of the original where Thom's voice doesn't sound shit?
Post yfw the album is called Radiohead
>they never learn
>>64654628
What's that gif from?
>>64654672
Wow that actually explains a lot.
Like why his wife left him
>>64654673
Bump, I'm quite keen to know.
I swear if this is the album art, I'm gonna fucking flip.
First Bowie (successfully) puts out a minimalist cover, which works. Then SWANS tries it too with the shit cover for Glowing Man and now this, which is even worse.
>>64655972
>Then SWANS tries it too with the shit cover for Glowing Man
christ you're so new
>>64655972
I really love the Burn the Witch artwork, hoping for something similar. Based on the daydreaming artwork, anyway, the cover isn't gonna be that simple.
>>64653102
Idiotique and HTDC were, despite everything, in the same kind of spirit. You can imagine how the guy in HTDC may break into insanity and go Idiotique. I don't feel like that is the case with BTW and Daydreaming.
But we'll see
can we agree that spectre is the best thing theyve released since in rainbows? including the 2 new singles
what a song
>>64650625

Who cares? Millions of people... And do you know? All of them have better ear than you
>>64649439
Who cares? Millions of people.... And all of them listen to better music than you... Listening to Justin Bieber doesn't make you a god listener ;)
>>64656305
Nah man, spectre was pretty but daydreaming is something else. I'm so excited.
honestly i think the title of lp9 is it Thom Yorke's car. now where did he put it
>>64650011
It really isn't, you fucking clown. The band have admitted several times over that they should've trimmed the tracklist down to make if flow better. They feel it is one of their weakest releases.
>>64655972
Its likely because black and white is the cheapest to print. The music stealer generation gets what it pays for
>>64656505
> If that were true, then almost every other band would be doing that. Radiohead aren't exactly struggling to sell their stuff.
>>64656586
They are, look at all the pop albums that have b and w album covers or one or two colours
>>64656625
Just took a gander, most of the more recent pop releases seem quite colourful
>>64656753
Not really
>>64657022
http://www.spin.com/2015/12/25-best-pop-albums-2015-list/
Mostly colour photography and quite a few rainbows. The black and white ones seem stylistic rather than budget minded.
>>64656362
Listening to Radiohead certainly can't make you a good listener, there is nothing of value to hear in a Radiohead song.
>>64655972
It's not gonna be that.
>>64655491
Either from a HTTT era or In Rainbows era interview. Can't remember.
>>64655972
>First Bowie (successfully) puts out a minimalist cover
You sound like a fucking retard.
>>64657669
Yeah looks to be in rainbows from the hair
>>64650944
Lmao are you serious? You just lost all credibility. You seriously don't understand the meaning of that line? You think it's just lol so random? O I am laffin. Fucking radiohead is too deep for you
>>64657812
Wait I just googled in rainbows interview and it's literally the first result:

Thom's alt tracklist is p. good
>>64657715
Speaking in terms of 2016, I'm not saying there's a correlation between any of these artists other than that there have been some bad minimalist album covers this year.
>>64658063
Ohh code doesn't work here. Thanks mook
>>64658102
How new are you lol

I'm here since 2010 but this is the first time I tried to use it
Happy LP9 eve everyone

What are the chances it'll be leaked before tomorrow evening?
