What did we think, /mu/?
seriously my favorite album of the decade
>>65215214
I feel this. I am huge Radiohead fan boy and really wasnt expecting much from their new album but holy fuck. Maybe top 3 RH albums.
>>65215324
it's in mine desu
>>65215324
1. Amnesiac
2. Kid A
3. AMSP
Am I wrong for thinking this?
>>65215355
Really?
I'd rate In Rainbows as 1.
Amnesiac comes in at close second.
Blew my expectations out of the water. Love the lushness of the instrumentation. True Love Waits is heartbreaking.
Identikit, Decks Dark, and Present Tense are my favorite tracks right now
>>65215440
Ful Stop, Decks Dark, and Daydreaming
feels like a culmination of their sound up until now, with all the good and the bad that brings
still like amnesiac the most but AMSP is a great album
Really an amazing album. I wasn't expecting it to be this good.
Kid A>OKC>AMSP>Amnesiac>IR>TKOL>HTTT>Bends>Honey
>>65215477
My nigga
>>65215477
Yo nigga, them dubs are tight.
Also, you are 100% spot on.
Why is Glass Eyes the best radiohead track ever guys, they even put it smack in the center of the album as if to say, "This is it. Our crown jewel."
Kid A>OKC>IR>TKoL>HttT>Amnesiac>AMSP>TB>PH
Wasn't bad but it isn't as strong as their other stuff
>>65215671
You tell me
>>65215204
Feels like a second swing at In Rainbows, but they miss completely.
Pretty funny you guys reel this way. Cause I honestly thought it was a letdown. Felt like In rainbows 2.0. Don't get wrong, I love in rainbows and radiohead as a whole for that matter. But these tracks are honestly not anything groundbreaking. Compare this to the release of Kid A. Seriously a groundbreaking release in the history of contemporary music. Now when I listen to AMSP, I just get kind of disappointed. All I hear are Thom's whines and same old radiohead. Nothing new here. There are some seriously good tunes on the album, but as a whole? No thanks.
>>65215913
Also this >>65215898
>>65215913
No it was definitely Amnesiac 2.0. Track 2: Pyramid Song/Daydreaming. Kind of a giveaway. Agree on it not being that great. I actually wish they made some more recent original songs for it because using Burn the Witch for example felt really out of place.
Better than Kid A, but that's not hard consider Kid A is a fucking snooze.
Not baiting either.
>>65216039
Take that back
>>65215913
Well no shit it's disappointing compared to Kid A. Most bands would kill to release a single album as influential and revolutionary as Kid A. So why compare this release to what is arguably their best work made 16 years ago? Seems a bit unfair.
>>65216090
No
While we're at it Funeral and everything else by Arcade Fire is trash
>>65215204
>we
Fuck /mu/
But its a solid
9.5/10
>>65216167
Didn't like them at all, so I can't really disagree there...
>>65216134
So we should forget it happened and call AMSP a modern classic? I don't agree with it. Kid A happened and I don't care if its unfair.
>>65216167
Come on man...
>>65216199
them dubs
Also, yes
>>65216007
> Burn the Witch for example felt really out of place.
I totally fucking agree with this, you have a nice album and then that song. Not that it was a bad song, but it just didn't belong on the album imo
>>65215204
Very emotional and minimalist.
>>65216007
>>65215913
It has a bit of both, ful stop could fit in IR tracklist and songs like the numbers and present tense could fit in Amnesica also Daydreaming feels like could fit in Kid A.
>>65216349
Replace burn the witch with spectre and you have a 10/10
>>65216403
Holy fucking shit, yes
>>65216403
Are you seriously that daft? 10/10...
>>65216253
No that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm saying you should just consider the album in its current time frame. Maybe compare it with albums of the last few years. I mean many people are saying its the AOTY, but then will also say its way worse than Kid A. Your frame of reference can hugely affect how highly you regard the album. At a point it just becomes pedantry, like saying "Shadows in the Night is awful, its not even close to Highway 61 Revisited"
>>65216667
Eh, no.
I think it's fantastic. Loving the deeper incorporation of strings and the album's general use of texture.
>>65215355
Swap Amnesiac with HTTT and this is me.
>>65215204
babbys first electroacoustic inspired album
i was a little dissapointed at first, i'm not into folky music and i like bleep bloop radiohead but damn... present tense is so beautiful, and the album flows so well... solid 8/10 for me
>>65217488
babbys first>....
that shitty meme is not an argument btw, i hat summer bitches
>>65215355
No, you're not wrong. Its close for third between In Rainbows and AMSP
>>65215609
Swap In Rainbows with Amnesiac and this is me (although IR and AMSP are interchangeable currently)
>>65216167
>Doesn't like Kid A or Arcade Fire
This is your opinion albumfied
>>65218765
Well, I thought that was a picture of Wiped out, but you get the point.
It's very good but some of their arrangement decisions suck ass.
>>65215204
I found this album really kind of boring. I think I am partly just pretty sick of thom's vocals but also the album is just really safe easy listening type shit.
Am I the only one who finds his vocal delivery really samey. That broken sound really loses any kind of evocative appeal when it's employed in a similar way in every single song. And yea, instrumentally the album was just really uninteresting.
Really safe, formulaic. Could have easily come out 10 years ago. not anything fresh
Sucks
>>65218814
>Could have easily come out 10 years ago
i don't understand this argument.. seriously, who cares if the shit is good it doesn't matter if is not groundbreking.
9/10
>>65215204
It's good for a band that's been around for more than 20 years desu.
>>65218886
Yea but its not that good either.
Like the band, extremely disappointed with the album. Painfully slow, boring, monotonous, one dimensional, and forgettable. It's too minimalistic. It sounds like Thom isn't even trying. Shame.
>>65218886
Bands of such high esteem, such as Radiohead, are in really unique positions where they can attract a lot of attention for what ever they do. So its just disappointing when they don't utilize this exposure to do something thats actually interesting or thought provoking. They could release whatever they wanted and the public would still rave about it so why not use this fact to educate the general populas' about the potential of musical creation rather than just soothe them with a numbing mist of soft and pleasant pop rock tropes.
>>65216403
>>65216443
I found Spectre fits perfectly right after True Love Waits. Picks you up right at the lowest emotional point of the album and lifts you up again. Try that, see if you like it.
>>65218886
Some ppl think radiohead should innovate yet don't use that to judge almost every other band/artist.
>>65219297
its because thom has a neil young fetish, jonny is long been more interested in scoring films, and the rest of the band are saps without their two leaders.
>>65215204
It's to Radiohead what AM was to the Artic Monkeys, mostly a safe step, using their known formula, kinda boring. The fact that most songs were live classics people already approved and waited to see confirms this point
But Artic Monkeys never stepped out of their confort zone, Radiohead is returning from a kinda bad adventure, so it could be a step backward to grab momentum to a step forward
>>65219659
Doesn't Phil have his own solo career? And Colin...well, he's actually been pretty great these last couple albums, better than usual anyways. So that leaves Ed and

Colin's solo career is the best.
>>65219764
I don't understand, but I am vaguely intrigued.
>>65219785
he was invited to play at a fashion show...he did accept the invitation
>>65219798
And then he proceeded to do a thing. Congratulations Colin, you did a thing.
>>65219764
o that's a gem right there
>>65219853
>>65219863
https://youtu.be/kIswDKTcukc
he even played My Iron Lung
>>65215204
after getting some proper headphones as a gift, and getting the 24-bit WAV version, i can hear the fucking floor creaking under Thom's feet in the second verse of Burn The Witch
AOTY
>>65219876
I love this version of the Seinfeld theme
>>65215477

>>65215898
It is so not another swing at in rainbows.

>>65221199
stupid choir for Identikit, deflating the bass guitar on Ful Stop, throwing out the piano from Burn The Witch
then again I really liked what they did with True Love Waits and Present Tense
how can we get them to make another kid a?
pretty good, just shy of an 8/10
either 4th or 5th best radiohead album
>>65221225
The same way we can get U2 to make another Achtune Baby. In short..we can't accept they are on the decline and never reach your expectations again and live with it
>>65221224
how much of that would have bothered you if you weren't familiar with the live versions? not trying to be accusatory as i agree that those were odd decisions, but idk that they would have bugged me if i had never heard the tracks previously. well, except the choir - i never would have enjoyed that lol.
>>65221260
"." after can't
damn typos
>>65221278
I did think about this. It is just really hard to break off the bond with the live versions I have been listening to for so long.I'll eventually get over it.
The choir is a real pain. It was used well on Decks Dark but it ruins Identikit
>>65215697
Agree with this sentiment.
I like it, but not that much. It's a bit disappointing and making me think more highly of TKoL, but maybe this is the new Radiohead cycle or something.
Like TKoL, it doesn't stack up against the strength of their previous releases and I'm surprised most people are saying it does.
It's somewhere between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Radiohead for me right now.
Tier 1
---
OKC
Kid A
IR
Tier 2
---
Amnesiac
HTTT
TKOL
Tier 3
---
The Bends
Pablo Honey (even though I rate this lowest, I still think it's kind of underrated in a weird way. Solid 7/10 effort, but everything they've done since has been better.)
If anything, this band is pretty consistent. I'm very happy with the album ATM.
>>65215204
Loved it. Every minute.
Now, pls has anyone figured out what he sahs in the beginning of identikit? Apart from amoon shaped pool of course...
PLS GUISE
Any interpretation for the titles yet?
>>65219881
>tfw the second half of Ful Stop on high quality headphones
The blending of all the different sounds together is just pure perfection
>>65216349
It's an energetic song and honestly the whole album is too mellow as it is, so if you delete BTW everyone will suddenly cry that it's a snoozefest.
>>65222637
I wish they'd come out with an album full of fast paced headbangers ala 2+2, Bodysnatchers and Jigsaw Falling into Place.
>>65222573
It's a mashup of half of the background lyrics there.
They definitely sang "Ice upon a top" and "Dancing clothes" live.
>>65222742
I don't understand... couldn't you just write it down?
What are those ice top dance clothes? Unreleased? Never heard before
>>65222791
It's an official lyrics card from the tour merch, but the words don't really fit. Also they added a bunch of fitting lyrics on here.
Also I really suck at decyphering lyrics, so can't really write it down myself, but the live recordings are a bit better, so maybe you can use them.
>>65215204
It's real sad that people actually think this is a good album just because it's Radiohead's work. It would have been ignored otherwise. Not a bad album, just mediocre stuff fueled by nostalgia.
meh, a moon shaped pool doesn't pull the lonely.
>>65218738
I like the album, but "In you I'm lost" is some shitty Yoda-tier shit sentence that's only worded like that to make it rhyme.
Phil is really pulling his weight on this album.
>>65222932
To rhyme it better with "in you I'm lost", sure.
It's worded like this because it flows much better.
If you really want to nitpick Yorke's lyrics go sleepyjack the firedrill and read some Kid A lyrics or smth.
>inb4 he did it on purpose
>>65219246
when will they release another great album like Amnesiac??
>>65222932
That's a fucking great line
Fills me with feelings of regret
Don't let the star wars ruin it for you, anon.
>>65222953
purragnatism not ideallism
>>65222957
In terms of "feels" AMSP is the closest they can get to Amnesiac in their current lives without faking emotions. They just replaced angst with hopelessness and regret.
>>65222976
Ummm, it's actually pragmatism.
>>65222932
>shitty Yoda-tier shit sentence
>>65222932
>to make it rhyme
To make it rhyme with what, itself???
You're a fool
>>65223071
Was thinking the same thing
>>65222932
fuck you, friend.
>>65222932
Present Tense is probably my favourrite tho
Identikit is that good shit
Top 5 songs everyone?
1. True Love Waits
2. Present Tense
3. Identikit
4. Glass Eyes
5. Daydreaming
These 5 are practically interchangeable for me though
>>65222897
Fuck off faggot. Ppl were ready to meme on this shit, yet the album comes out and it shut up the memers who were ready to shit on it. They were forced to shut up.
That's how good of an album it is.
>>65223201
1. Present Tense
2. Decks Dark
3. Tinker Tailor
4. Identikit
5. True Love Waits/Glass Eyes
>>65223201
1. Glass eyes
2. Decks dark
3. Daydreaming
4. Ful stop
5. The numbers
Btw, desert island disk reminds me of six organs of admittance.
>>65223201
Burn the Witch
Daydreaming
Decks Dark
Ful Stop
True Love Waits
Daydreaming remind anyone else of Song Of Healing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDX4ZwUeOok
>>65223472
The fucking piano is off-beat, reeeeeee
Easily as good as In Rainbows
Brilliant album, absolutely heartwrenchig, but still can't top their "greats". They've definitely already peaked but I doubt theyll ever release an album that isn't worth hearing
1. Ok Computer
2. In Rainbows/Kid A
4. AMSP
5. HTTT
6 TKOL
7. Amnesiac
8. The Bends
9 Pablo Honey
