It Ain't Easy is great.

>Too much
>>65724062
MAXWELLS SILVER HAMMER
>Nervous Young Inhumans
>>65724265
It is great, but it's the lesser song imo compared to the others.
>Handcuffs
Maybe not a 10/10 but jesus christ that song is jarringly horrible compared to the rest of the album.
>>65724040
What, Whammy?
As much as I love the Beatles I feel like nearly every Beatles album has one song you could axe that could make it even better.
Going rubber soul onwards my picks are
>rubber soul
Run for your life
>revolver
Yellow submarine
>Sgt pepper
Actually this one is fine as is
>MMT
Your mother should know
>the white album
Ob la di ob la da
>abbey road
The failed abortion known as Maxwells silver hammer
>let it be
For you blue
>>65724327
Just remove the "GALVANISTIC..." speech and I'd be fine with that track.
Fuckin' Will.
>>65724401
Yea exactly. I actually like the track but the monologue is shit and it wouldn't surprise me if he now feels its a bit indulgent at least.
>>65724390
Your Mother Should Know is actually good though, but the rest I agree with.
>>65724390
>worrst track on Rubber Soul
>not picking "Wait"
>worst track on MMT
>not picking "flying"
>Abbey Road
>not perfect
>Let It Be
>acting as if only one song ruins it
>>65724401
>>65724409
The thing is I even love what he's conveying in that monologue.
The idea that he had fallen in love with a person he made up in his head based off of the little he knew about them. That's incredibly relatable for a lot of people and pretty important within the narrative of the album.
Its just the way he decided to explore this idea was awful.
>Blown a Wish

That's the best song
>I need a man to love
>>65724503
I also think replacing "Electioneering" with Polyethylene 1 and 2 would make the album better
>>65724541
Agreed
>Shovel
>>65724390
>>65724433
You're both wrong, The Word is objectively the worst song on Rubber Soul
>>65724503
Agreed, i really dislike that "song".
>>65724062
yellow submarine isnt THAT bad
but ya its pretty shite
This one's obvious. Wouldn't be 10/10 but gettin' close
>>65724310
I agree with this.
>>65724637
I think this is the one album where one particular track is universally agreed upon to be the worst track of the album.
>>65724693
which song?
>>65724637
this
I think I see what they were trying to do with that track, but I don't think it worked at all.
>>65724693
Funny considering that the album has a 1 minute intro and a cover of Williams Mix.
>>65724637
Inside Out? Work Work?
>>65724637
>>65724693
the one song about tables and drinking or something? i remember that one being shitty
>>65724726
>>65724734
Pretty sure it's Tonight, if not I'd be extremely surprised.
>>65724764
Yeah, it's Tonight.
>>65724731
The intro is really good though
>>65724726
Tonight
>>65724739
Yep that's the one
>>65724731
It was just all the more painful bc it was so obviously trying to be a radio single and pander to a broader audience, and then the song was also just shit
>>65724726
it's Tonight you plebeienna
>>65724582
this t b h
>>65724731
>>65724787
While we're on the subject, any of ya'll heard Wriggle yet? I quite liked it, though they take their pop sensitivity even further with it
>>65724868
I listened to it once, didn't care for it. I might try again once I'm done with The Glowing Man
>>65724883
I feel you, it took me a few to warm up to it. I'm making myself wait for the release for glowing man, very pumped about it tho
>>65724188
>One of the best songs on the album
It Ain't Easy is the only song not written by Bowie, and it stands out as being the worst.
>>65724868
I liked it but not as much as their first two albums honestly
>>65724463
To Here Knows When is weak too though
>>65724637
came here to post this
>>65724368
>>65724541
Lil Boy and Black Dice are way worse though...
Does 3/4 of a song count?
>The Past is a Grotesque Animal
Don't get me wrong, this is a great song. But it's completely out of place on this album.
>>65725036
Black Dice I can understand but Lil Boy is one of the best tracks
>>65724040
whammy?
>>65725052
How is it out of place? The other songs are dark lyrically, this one just steps it up.
>>65724188
based
>>65725057
black dice is v good
>>65725052
What, how? It's the integral link between his former self and the self he becomes(Georgie Fruit). It's literally what ties that album together as a concept album about the transformation of a man unhappy with his uptight marriage and cookie cutter life to free spirited hedonistic sex symbol

>>65724463

>Scatterbrain
>>65724108

>>65725078
I love black dice. I just can understand why someone might not like it. My 3 least fav on NLDW are pop, stockton, and deep web. But honestly I love the hell out of all of em but stockton
>>65725057
I cannot get behind Lil Boy to save my life... It's hands down one of their weakest tracks in my book. Everything about it just makes me cringe
>>65725086
Agreed 100%
>>65724188
Soul Love
>>65724327
that album is a 10/10 to me already
I don't think I even need to say it
>>65725204
>no track is worse than any other
>no track is out of place
I think you do.
All Blissed Out
>>65725078
I love black dice. I just can understand why someone might not like it. My 3 least fav on NLDW are pop, stockton, and deep web. But honestly I love the hell out of all of em but stockton
>>65725142
I'm in shock. That song's so good dude wtf
>>65724637
Tonight is awful, but I never really enjoy Taking Off, the second it hits the chorus I feel like it sucks all the energy out of the album, I think it would be a lot better right after the intro or later in the album
Also, God Given Tongue from the Japan bonus edition is 11/10
>>65724503
more productive
You probably wouldn't believe me if I said Reckoner, but Reckoner
Sticky Drama
every other track is 10/10
>>65725295

>>65725295
=.=
>>65724578
Shovel is amazing fucking hell
>>65724868
the title track had me very conflicted
the whitehouse sample was good but it was basically a drum and bass tune
>>65724310
you take that back
>>65725086
disagree
>>65725086
Definitely agree

is this WRONG OPINION general?
>>65725321
>>65725440
It's not a bad track, but I never cared for it as much as the other tracks. The vocals in particular I really didn't feel, like Thom was going Falsetto just to show he can go Falsetto.
>>65725124
That's funny, my number 1 is Stockton
>>65725204
>>65725226
>Is This and Yes
It drags far too long and sounds like something that Stereolab already did better. It's not terrible but every time I listen to it on the album I always feel like I'm impatiently waiting for it to end so the rest of the album can pick up again.
>>65724934
>To Here Knows When is weak too though

>>65726074

kys
>>65724343
the cello is nice though
>>65726270
Yea I like the sound of the song fine. and I actually really like some of the lyrics. I like what the song is saying.
However some of the lines are so edgy and embarrassingly out of theme for the album that I can't really help but wonder if he wrote that song when he was quite a bit younger.
>>65724567
Polyethylene would be a fantastic closer in place of The Tourist, maybe as a hidden track. Palo Alto would work well in the place of Electioneering, as it still puts a harder rock song right before Climbing Up the Walls
>>65724108
what the fuck, are you dense?
sweepstakes is top shit desu famullar
>>65724327
>albums that would be 10/10 if all songs were removed
>>65725102
This album needs its tracks rearranged to become better. Most people's main problem is how inconsistent the tracklist is. Thom created this one as a substitute:
1. There There
2. The Gloaming
3. Sail to the Moon
4. Sit Down. Stand Up
5. Go to Sleep
6. Where I End and You Begin
7. Scatterbrain (I'd personally put Backdrifts here)
8. 2+2=5
9. Myxomatosis
10. A Wolf at the Door
>>65726322
Yup.
>>65724401
Are you fucking serious Will's exposition was the highlight of that album holy
Static
>>65726309
I could have been a good track, but it dragged on too long.
>>65726326
Thom didn't make it, he found it online and said it was interesting. This may be unpopular, but I really like We Suck Young Blood, one of my favourites on the album.
>>65725093
Very pleb opinion you have there
Replace A Touch of Evil with a sound collage depicting a space battle between mankind and the robot menace layered on top of an orchestral crescendo signalling the approach of the Painkiller.
>road trippin
Can't stop or zephyr should have replaced it.
>>65726345
It was insanely pretentious and dull. The idea behind what he's saying is good but his monologue is awful.
>American Tune
>>65726385
>A Touch of Evil
>YOU'RE POSSEEEESSIN' MEEEEEEEEE
>Bad

are you soulless? Submarine is fab.
if you've ever listened to this you should already know.
it sticks out like a sore thumb and ruins the perfection that is the rest of the album

t. pleb
>>65725086
>>65724210
Which one?
>>65725192
That album's a 10/10 for me too.
>>65725086
Aw what c'mon man that song is cool
>>65724503
I disagree actually, I think Fitter Happier does a good job in setting up Electioneering. I've always liked that transition.
This being said, this album isn't a 10 for me though.
>>65724463
Every song on that album is great in it's own way.
That's why I love this album, 10/10.
you people have shitty opinions
>>65725091
This comment made me snicker
>>65726238
I like this song because it's cheesy on purpose, and I can find some humor in that.
Plus, that chorus. Unf.
>>65725295
Yeah, try Videotape.
>>65727031

Upgrade (A Baymar College College)
>>65727561
Videotape is actually my favourite Radiohead song, I'm not removing that.
>>65727628
That song is so overplayed for me, but I won't let that distract me from the fact that it's a great song.
>>65727646
Nah, now you're just memeing me
>>65727651
maybe, but imo it just don't fit into IV
i love the album but Table Tennis
Real
Known For It
>>65727673
I always kinda thought of it as that album's "softer" song, like a ballad or some shit.
But yeah, I think it would fit better on Zeppelin III or Houses of the Holy.
>>65726358
Static is the best of the four
>>65727731
I'm a minority on this but for me its Culture shock
>>65727731
I think you mean Klink, buddy.
Culture Shock would've also been an acceptable answer.

I really mean it. I have no idea why it's hated so much (for a Radiohead song anyway). All I hear from people is "the live version is better", but, while it's still a good track, it's kinda smothered in its own instrumentation and ruins the tone of the original track IMO.
>>65727755
If it wasn't for the lyrics, Culture Shock would be my choice too
>>65727762
Kilink is awesome
>>65727731
Nah, Thru the Walls is the only bad DG song.
>>65727775
Well, I just don't like it because it's repetitive and depressive vibe bore me, and it kinda lacks originality. Not a good closer to the album, either.
>>65727858
>repetitive
>depressive
You mean like How To Disappear Completely? Do you consider that a good track? The National Anthem is repetitive, Street Spirit is depressive, are those bad tracks?
>>65724868
The intro had me hyped as fuck, everything after that was kinda disappointing
>>65727702
You cannot be serious. That's the highlight
>>65726089

How the hell did you fit WIXIW into your tripcode? Are you a witch?
This would literally be perfect without Warm Healer.

>TO FEEL
That's such a powerful line to end it with, and then they just go
>k guyz chill out were gonna close it off a lil less tense guyz
>>65727731
You're being ironic, it's the best track off the album and easily DGs most underrated song.
>>65727907
No actually none of those are bad songs to me, but perhaps I could've explained myself a little better. I guess you could say I just don't like "that" songs repetition.
>>65728141
I mean, I guess I kinda understand, but it's not like it's a long track or anything. Maybe it's just a personal thing for me because I get into the depressing vibes that it gives off, it's like an even eerier version of Pyramid Song and I feel it makes a perfect closer to the album.
Pink Eye - On My Leg
F A C T
Seamus. Seriously, wtf were they thinking?
>>65728240
It's just echoes + filler, may aswell be a single
>>65725050
What is Moonchild?
>>65726385
A Touch of Evil is amazing. A 10/10 album if I ever heard one.
>>65728475
Moonchild is amazing.
>>65726996
>Painkiller
>Pop rock
These things do not exist in the same sentence together unless you're describing how different they are from each other. Just because it isn't played really fast doesn't mean it isn't metal.
>>65728501
Yeah the first minute or two is amazing, but then the rest of the band took a smoke/bathroom/lunch break so the drummer poked the cymbals a few times over the course of 9 minutes.
Across the Sea.
>Night Comes Down
Not a bad song by any means, but it kinda slows the album down a tad. Without it the album would be god-tier instead of just being amazing.
Either Magic Johnson or Sexy Mexican Maid for being pure filler.
>>65728635
magic johnson then
>>65724503
What's wrong with fitter happier? I think it pretty much summarises the essence of the album.
>>65726358
That is like deleting a quarter of the album. Static is awesome...the spoken sample with the strings and guitar riff is very emotional.
>>65727024
Seriously...it's my favourite.
>>65725295
I'd say Faust arp. Reckoner is considered by many as the best.videotape is great too.
>>65728025
indeed.
i have 6 girlfriends tho
They're red hot
Hypogirl. Even blood section is possible.
>>65728002
nah that would be galaxy in janaki
>>65728895
I'd delet the whole album
>>65724503
Not only it' _not_ the worst song in the album, it's pretty much the most indispensable song in it
>>65728635
Sexy Mexican Maid should go, Magic Johnson is hype
>>65726920
Crown of Love though
>>65724040
I hate young thug.
>>65726361
We Suck Young Blood would be better if that insane groove that's in the middle of the song was longer
>>65726358
literally no song on that album can be deleted
>>65728904
this album is supposed to be jarring and a mix of different genres.
>>65726845
>>65726930
triggered straight white boys
>>65728904
Blood section is amazing, but Hypnogirl is terrible.
>>65725102

>>65725086

first time I listened to the album I didn't expect it at all and it nearly made me turn the album off
Escape
>>65724582
>>65724433
Wait is a top track, Run for your life is harmless and catchy (bit misogynistic) and I love the guitar over the verse of the Word.
What Goes On is the worst track on Rubber Soul
>>65726907

>>65724108
Man are you freakin blind
The Little Things Give You Away is literally the only bad song on this album
>>65724343
It's lyrically shit, but I like the instrumentals
>>65724104
I don't want to agree but I do ;_ ;
Gold Digger
>>65730688
Do you genuinely not find that song cringeworthy?
Flying High
>>65724433
i agree, flying is a shit stain
>>65725126
I agree. I know dg like sharp and jarring transitions but that song is so fucking poorly put together it's unlistenable. I really hate both of the title tracks on that album too.
>>65728602
>>65726385
I get what you mean, but it happens in every album and Rob said is intentional. In pic related is The Ripper for me, not a bad song by any means, but it's the only yellow song in an album full of purple and blue
>>65724934
