wtf its real. sorry OP I almost yelled at you
>>64551576
Oh shit oh shit
its shit lol
what a surprise it's fucking awful. Well played Radiohead well played
da fuck?
is this even real?
I thought it was rickroll or something
>>64551576
well I like the video a lot
>>64551576
noice
this is so bad. sounds like coldplay
Sounds pretty gud.
it sounds like thom singing over a movie soundtrack
maybe it'll sound better in context of the album
>>64551576
lmao it's not even good ahahahaha fck's sake 5 years for that
>>64551726
jk its ok. pretty good actually
how'd y'all like the new radiohead track. I thought it was okay, not one of their best but not one of their worst. like 6-7/10 imo.
Link to track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI2oS2hoL0k&feature=youtu.be
HOLY SHIT THIS IS DOPE
DEM STRINGS
>>64551778
wait i meant to make this a new thread lel
>>64551576
that fucking string production is great
It's really, really good.
been listening to a lot of James Ferraro lately and forgot how boring other artists are.
It's really good, if they really turn their shit into modern classical stuff it would be a really good album.
The strings in the chorus tho
very Bjorkian
>>64551576
I'm not sure how much I like it. It seems somewhat better than TKoL but that really isn't saying much.
>>64551869
>thinks this song is better than tkol
>thinks tkol is bad
Sounds nice
>>64551822
lol this
can thom sample or loop something puhlease
>>64551576
very good song
worst radiohead lead single since creep
>>64551889
>likes tkol
I can use meme arrows too. tkol was so goddamn boring. The only worse radiohead album is pablo honey.
I used to ruuuuuuule the world
It's alright. Kind of a let down since this is the track they have been hinting at for quite some time. It sounds somewhat formulaic, if that makes sense. If the whole album is like this, then it will be pretty good though.
>>64551928
(you)
sounds like coldplay had sex with jonny's there will be blood score
sounds a lot like that song they did for James Bond.
Fantano predicted this
LP9 WHEN HOLY FUCK THIS IS LIT
Not stellar but enjoyable
i wish the strings came in crashing towards the end, but the generalized tone throughout the song is alright
wish the chorus was a bit more energetic
I literally cannot see a single similarity between this and a Coldplay song other than the fact that it has strings in it, which iirc, Coldplay were not the first band to use string instruments.
>>64551576
neat video
>>64551726
>sounds like coldplay
I'm in
lel
>>64551991
I can hear some Coldplay influence in this track. I'm sure Thom and the guys consider them contemporaries and get inspiration from their work
>>64551576
this is growing on me with each listen. cant wait for the full album. i give this song a 7.5 or 8/10
So I can tell this is song is mostly Johnny's fault -- er, I mean, style.
The song itself is really weak, it's just Thom Yorke moaning over garageband-tier drum machines
>>64551576
maybe they'll release a better single later because this is ok but not great
perhaps it's just a taster
not a fan of the electronic beats, but overall it's a good song
7/10
reasonably hyped for LP9
>>64551991
its bait, or underage plebs just wait till the night, then we can have a good conversation about the song
>>64552052
yea he's had a real hard on for strings ever since he started doing film scores
guarantee at least one song on this album has some weird polyrhythmic drums
>literally Viva la Vida
holy fuck Radiohead fell off the wagon
>>64551576
Am I the only one that gets a Kendrick Untitled 05 vibe from this?
So it looks like i was wrong. I was predicting that Spectre was just a one-off in that style, and that TKOL's follow-up would be a lot more synthy and some of their poppiest work to date.
Not like the style matters, another 9/10 Radiohead album bout to drop.
This song is definitely a grower. I would have liked it to be a bit heavier, but it probably works much better within the album.
I think this is great, really excited for the album now
Shittttt man this sucks
Really really bland.
I feel like that track was supposed to have some tension but just didn't.
Like there was this build up that was repeated throughout the track but it was never rewarded with anything.
ITS STUPID
>>64552112
>TKOL's follow-up would be a lot more synthy and some of their poppiest work to date.
this may not be 'synthy' but it certainly is one of their poppier songs in a long time
Fucking great track, instantly shat on all of TLOK.
fucking great, suprised by how much I enjoyed this
I hope this is not the best song in the album. I don't want to admit the Radiohead has became a just OK band
>>64552112
>9/10 Radiohead album
no bait there is literally no reason to expect that from this single
it's alright, better than anything TKoL at least, so that's something...
>>64552173
Not any more or less than anything on TKOL not named Feral.
oh boy i love radiohead! "your livin in a fantasy" wow so deep :O
I don't really see the the similarities to VLV. Needless to say, it was their best album, apart from the title track, if you can even call it "their" album.
I like the song, but I don't think this album is meant for the masses. I barely remember anything of it after first listen.
>>64552111
Yes
>>64552191
I don't see any reason NOT to expect a 9/10 from Radiohead. They haven't released an album with a score lower than a 9 since The Bends.
>>64551726
when did couldplay sound this good?
>>64552208
cheer at the gallows
wow ive been blind this whole time
its shit
>>64552194
nah, I think this is a lot more immediate than anything on TKOL
>dat nicholas cage diss
will he ever recover? dam
>>64552164
I second you
>>64552223
shut up tranny
>>64552234
The Wicker Man was made before Nick Cage. His version is just the better known one
Polarizing track
I'm confused whether to think this is genius or whiny yorky vapid shite
As with Spectre, you are constantly waiting for a moment that seemingly doesn't come. Yet, if you listen again and think about what you're listening to you notice that its actually in there
>>64552186
my sentiments exactly, my stannism is being challenged
>>64552164
I too get my musical enjoyment from Skrillex and other such EDM
>>64552233
>nah, I think this is a lot more immediate than anything on TKOL
The moment i heard Lotus Flower, i knew TKOL was gonna be an incredible album. So i absolutely disagree with that statement.
they updated their facebook shit
>>64551808
Why? We already have this thread
>>64552164
>>64552238
it wasn't "supposed" to be anything else than what it was
you're disappointed by something because you're a slave to a film score convention
and then you blame the song for being too conventional
It must be difficult being radiohead. They must throw away so many ideas
words cannot explain how happy I am. /mu/ shitposters BTFO radiohead will always be my favorite band
it's lit
>>64552238
maybe it's for the next song on the album..
Wow this actually sounds a lot like Viva la Vida by the band Coldplay. Really cool, I hear Thom's singing as similar to "Yellow" that Coldplay does
>HURR COLDPLAY THE FIRST AND ONLY ROCK/POP-BAND TO USE CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTATION
Seriously
>>64552277
hmmm
i like the strings, they sound intense -- reminds me of Johnny Greenwood's There Will Be Blood stuff.
Rest of the song doesn't really ramp up like I hoped it would tho, and the melody from Thom is a bit uninspired.
I'm hoping the rest of the album is more engaging, more interesting unique song structures.
Video is pretty cute
MODS STICKY THIS

Quality bait
>>64552302
all i see is a cave troll trying to self fellate
You guys think of the Radiohead songs from the last three albums, none on first listen with hype would ever meet the highest scrutiny, but they are still good
>>64551822
rdddit
>>64552325
FUCKING THIS!!
The Coldplay influence is very transparent
>>64552291
>slave to a film score invention
>projecting this much
wow it isn't very good
>>64552315
>reminds me of Johnny Greenwood's There Will Be Blood stuff.
this senpai i feel like this album is a jonny-led album
Anyone who's getting butthurt over (or actually believing) the coldplay shitposting is clearly a newfag. That's been going on on here since well-before TKOL came out.
pic related, one of the first pics from /mu/ that i saved, about 5-6 years ago.
STOP MAKING FUN OF THE SONG, THOM COMES TO 4CHAN AND HE WILL GET SAD AND WONT RELEASE THE ALBUM
>>64552338
Not baiting. Listen to his timbre its very similar and the way Radiohead uses strings is Coldplay-esque
sounds a bit like coldplay
>>64552244
It's also quality wise the better one
>>64551822
Shit taste m8
>>64552375
kek
>>64552291
stoptalkng to yourself
>>64552378
Everyone reply to this with "nice one thom" so he doesn't get sad
>>64552164
There's a crescendo in every bar of the strings, every bar builds up to the next bar rather than to some grandiose chorus.
Overall I don't mind it, I think it's something different, not exactly innovative by any means but I don't know why we expect Radiohead to make innovative record after innovative record. I'm pretty sure they'd rather just freely take inspirations from everything and anything and make their own thing, which this is.
>>64552375
IR sounds more like U2 tb.h senpaii
>>64552378
>>64552422
fuck you thom and your funny looking eye
YOU GOT SOME NEEERVE
Didn't really like this song until the end of the video. That was fucking sick. Indicates that there may be a series of music videos with this type of animation
>>64552442
ok thom is done
no album for any of you
Well, to be frank that was underwhelming. 2/5
>>64552375
But comparing IR to Coldplay doesn't make sense. Burn the Witches, on the other hand, is the same bland, uninspired, strings-oriented pop that Coldplay makes. And I actually like Radiohead a lot
>>64552378
nice one thom
>>64552422
nice one thom
when will people learn that orchestral instruments don't go with electronic beats?
>>64552378
shut up thom it sounds like coldplay
>>64552474
>Burn the Witches, on the other hand, is the same bland, uninspired, strings-oriented pop that Coldplay makes.
objectively wrong, 3deep5u pleb.
It's like Coldplay and U2 collaborated
>>64552218
Believe it or not, they used to. It was a long time ago though.
>>64552493
I could name a thousand tracks that would proove the opposite but i think you're just an idiot
Lyrics
Stand in shadows
To the gallows
This is a round up
This is a low flying panic attack
Sing-song the jukebox that goes
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
In a village
Red crosses on wooden doors
And if you float you burn
Loose talk around tables
Abandon all reason
Avoid all eye contact
Do not react
Shoot the messengers
This is a low flying panic attack
Sing a song of sixpence that goes
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you live
We know where you live
well, i actually like it...
>>64552374
I like the idea of this desu
I think this might make a good opener to the album, I just hope they're willing to go further with the sound they've used on this song.
>>64552363
That's not what projecting is.
>>64552493
lol
the amount of fanboys desperately defending this piece of uninspired tripe ITT is actually embarrassing
>its a thom does the wailing voice again episode
kinda tired of it t.b.h. famalama
>>64552582
>I haven't listened to the song
I'm loving the chorus, sounds ominous. Cool arrangements too, I'm looking forward to this album, not really a big Radiohead guy either.
I will sacrifice my firstborn if thats what it takes to end the Coldplay meme
>>64552582
>uninspired
Everytime i see this buzzword, i know to discredit the opinion of whoever's using it as a criticism.
>>64552567
if lp9 is half as good as the age of adz, i'm going to be very surprised.
this single is so mediocre
>>64552302
This is probably the album cover
>>64552582
I was the one who furiously shat on TKOL all along. This time I like it and approve of the direction.
unlucky jeff
Sounds like ok computer stuff with strings instead of guitars
This song made me feel anxious. Specially by the end. Claustrophobic shit. I love it
ITS NOT EVEN BAD
pretty good song, but the drum beat is disappointingly dull.
definitely more straightforward than the tkol. doesn't sound much to anything they have made before but still I feel its lacking a little bit of risk. nevertheless very well made and enjoyable. it seems like Radiohead can't write a bad song.
>>64552582
>>64552474
>>64552218
>>64551726
>le uninspired coldplay meme
>>64552291
>it wasn't "supposed" to be anything else than what it was
That's like the most radiofan boi excuse and people made the same excuses when TKOL was released.
desu it isn't just that the song builds up with no crescendo, it's that Thom's singing doesn't actually work with the song at all.
It's like whoever was orchestrating this was given a set of directions and then Thom just sang over the finished piece with some bleary vocal effects added to his voice.
It's a bad song and it probably needs to be a bit longer to have been able to show any of the strengths it shows within the first minute and a half or so but since Radiohead are pretty much slaves to pop song time limit it could never hope for that shit.
oh yeah and IT SOUNDS LIKE FUCKING BJORK
PREDICTING A 10.0 BNM FROM PITCHFORK RIGHT NOW
>>64551726
when did couldn'tplay sound this bad?
>people are STILL pretending that TKOL isn't one of the best albums of the decade
Can someone explain me the plot of the video? I don't get it. Why did they wanna burn the little man?
>>64552632
But on the other hand it's not all that great, I prefer TKOL to this tbqph famalamadindong
>>64551576
What an amazing production. comfy song. I can see why hardcore Radiohead fans wouldn't like this, but fuck em
>>64552665
They can't, they have infinite pressure
This U2 and Coldplay collab sounds pretty promising senpai
>>64552677
Radiohead aren't black and don't make generic trap music though, it will get a 7.4
how long did it take for tkol to drop when lotus flower was released
>>64552069
isnt it usually phil on the electronic drums?
it's aight
>>64552701
>people are STILL pretending that TKOL isn't radiohead's second worst album only ahead of pablo honey
>>64552733
Lotus Flower came out on a friday. The album was "supposed" to be released a day or 2 later but they ended up putting it out on friday as well.
>>64552725
Coldplay is literally just watered down U2 without the experimentation. At least Radiohead adapted U2's ability to reinvent themselves with each album through the end of the 90s.
>>64552676
I don't think it's a solid single at all but it's not bad, especially if it's continued by a dark song in the album, which would make its poppy, happy-go-lucky sound a lot more sinister in that context. I hope it's Radiohead's way of lulling people into a false sense of security, otherwise I would agree this isn't a strong single, but not a bad song at all. It's a direction Radiohead haven't really explored so either way it's an interesting listen for critics and fans.
>>64552702
The man is Thom in Lotus Flower
ITT: people trying to convince themselves this song is good
sad really
>>64552756
Because it isn't. It's glorious as fuck.
I liked the video better than the song, desu. It reminded me of Moral Orel.
>>64552781
Those strings and the chorus aren't very happy-go-lucky to me at all, not sure what you mean by that.
>>64552791
it reminded me of the Vida La Vida video
It sounds like Coldplay
I uhhh always liked Coldplay
you don't like Coldplay? Contrarian faggot
*tips fedora*
haha album of the year coming right up haha right guys?
>>64552733
hours
people think it dropped a couple days before, but the video was uploaded then and probably kept private until the friday
http://www.factmag.com/2011/02/18/radiohead-album-brought-forward-new-video/
Coldplay 2.0
4th listen and its grown on me a lot
>>64552791
it reminded me of Viva la Vida
It's more modern Muse-like than Coldplay.
>>64552781
This song is pretty heavy based off of the lyrical content alone. I don't think this is particularly poppy at all, but I agree that it's an interesting choice for a single.
>>64552540
Is this supposed to be some social commentary?
>>64552702
It's a good little video.
Have you ever seen the movie Hot Fuzz?
It's basically an inspection for village of the year award with the town council is showing the inspector around.
I don't fucking know what Radiohead are referring to with the burn the witch shit but it's a cool video.
>>64552781
idk I can only look at whats in front of me and whats in front of me isn't anything I haven't seen Radiohead do on amnesiac tbph
Viva la Vida was literally a pop song.
Burn the Witch is so, so much more than that. Everything Radiohead has done since The Bends has been transcendant.
>>64551576
they should have gotten out while they were ahead. ruining their legacy
>>64552389
The original is a horror masterpiece, the Nicolas Cage remake is an unintentionally hilarious mess.
>>64552872
it's about fine bros
>>64552593
post your face when madlib appears as a feat
>>64552844
lol how does this sound at all like muse? did you even listen to it?
>>64552880
>I don't fucking know what Radiohead are referring to with the burn the witch shit
scapegoats in politics
i.e migrants, nhs, the disabled
this isn't good
>>64552884
It has an "I saw Sparks" kind of aesthetic that I think was intentional by the band since they try to emulate Coldplay on several occasions
eh....maybe thom should start listening to lp5 religiously again...
>>64552912
Oh so its like that song from Bloc party, the one called Hunting for Witches
WOW GOOD JOB THOM
sounds like aneven gayer coldplay tbqh
sooo boring
am i pleb if i think this is bloody amazing
>>64552975
you're a pleb for asking us to confirm your taste
I feel like this track is more than it appears on the surface
I don't know a lot about music though to exactly put my finger on it, which leaves me a bit frustrated after listening since I can't tell if I even like it or not
Boring desu what's going on with them? I know Thom is all over this electronic shit but his solo music and Atoms for Peace kinda ruined Radiohead for me because TKOL and now this just sounds like Thom Yorke solo, I get no sense of 'band' from Radiohead anymore. Just sounds like Thom releasing shit under the Radiohead name.
This sounds like one of those tracks that would be a track that developed into an entirely different song.
This sounds like Go To Sleep with an electronic beat and strings. If it goes down any further tham this than we're in for another TKOL type deal. Not a bad album but an average album coming from a band you know can do better. And I think it's basically because of the bland electronics and the fact that as I said after hearing Thom's solo shit or AFP all this shit just starts to run together like letting a few different color paints run down into eachother until you get nothing but a grey sludge of a paint.
Hopefully this is just a weak track. Someone came out and said the album is going to sound like something you never heard before, but this sounds like shit I've heard before.
>>64552060
Shut the fuck up
Its so fucking good. I was afraid RH would be worn out of ideas, but this sounds fresh
"Thom is the driving force of the band" plebs BTFO. It's obvious that Jonny Greenwood is behind the orchestral sound, he has been doing a lot of orchestral film scores lately.
>>64552676
>IT SOUNDS LIKE FUCKING BJORK
You say that like it's a bad thing
>>64552813
From the themes of the child-like puppets, I believe it starts in a major key and such, it changes in the chorus and the endings but again, I think that's part of the build up to a sinister track after this, as the eerie puppet world suggests contrasting dark themes and lyrics with bright imagery and music.
Wow disappointing. Nothing that great about this.
>>64552582
I don't like Radiohead all that much, but liked this song quite a bit.
>>64553002
>b-but mah G tars!
Get over it. Its amazing, way better than anything AFP ever put out
>>64553002
The song has got Jonny all over it. Did you even listen to it?
>>64553014
do you think this song is amazing because if you do that's ok but i personally don't
everyone has their own seperate opinion ah
:)
>>64553031
this, i'm kinda just underwhlemed and don't really give a crap about this single, i just want the album
>>64553030
then they should have released the next track along side this
not this as a single that may or may not lead into something interesting
dumb fucking idiots
>>64552474
>strings-oriented pop
i'm not sure about that m8, the song is too dank, and too dark for a codlplay song
this single is making me think identikit wont be on here :(
>>64553002
>now this just sounds like Thom Yorke solo, I get no sense of 'band' from Radiohead anymore. Just sounds like Thom releasing shit under the Radiohead name.
Are you fucking deaf? This song doesn't sound anything like Thom's solo stuff. Thom's solo stuff is bleep bloops, this song is orchestral.
>>64553058
this
>>64552975
>asking for confirmation
>>64553024
CANT HE JUST PLAY FUCKING GUITAR???
im tired of this second-rate orchestral shit with thom fucking moaning over it. they have fucking delusions of grandeur. just play fucking rock music instead of pretending to be beethoven.
>>64552340
whoa
>>64553031
>>64553053
But if its an indicator of the quality of the album, then this is going to easily be one of radioheads best albums
This song sounds super cluttered and hectic. Maybe I'm really overinterpreting it but the way it's mixed and arranged kind of reminds me of the chaos surrounding a "witch hunt." The way that the song is in a constant state of denoumont, yet never quite reaches a climax is a lot like a witch hunt, where the process is much more interesting and seemingly valuable than the actual results. But this also kinda sounds like Coldplay
>>64553092
agreed, leave the strings to the real artists like Coldplay
Is 2016 the year big bands stopped caring or are just feel uninspired
I swear every big band/artist release so far this year has been mediocre as fuck
>>64553024
I didn't know Pewdiepie was in radiohead.
I'm actually gonna say that this was Thom's doing, since Greeny knows how to create tension as he's shown from the There will be blood ost.
>>64553027
IT IS
>>64553108
You are such a fucking sperg.
FLAC and V0 up on What
>>64553002
I agree with you anon
Vocals sound like Thom Yorke side project stuff. I'm really hoping the rest of the album is more interesting.
The strings show promise for something intense and dark but Thom has gotta mix it up somehow. Getting tired of his long wails he has been doing the past few years.
>>64553092
They should stop doing what they want to do and do what you want them to do instead
>delusions of grandeur
I like Spectre a bit more just because of the drum machine on this one, it's out of place. I'm happy they're going back on some HTTT ideas, I like that era despite not being their best one and having some duds.
>>64553092
>pretending to be beethoven
More like pretending to be Phillip Glass
LP9 gettin that 5.5 from p4k famalam
>>64553002
>average album coming from a band you know can do better.
Sorry dad
>>64553092
>they should just rock out instead of doing anything different!
Pleb, I bet you hate Kid A and Amnesiac.
>>64552786
>people cant have differing opinions
>my opinion is right
k m8
I cant believe some of you are actually complaining about this single. I've had it on repeat all morning, its fucking amazing.
>>64553139
they are good at making rock music.
they aren't good at doing whatever this shit is.
I didn't really like the ending too much. It sounded kind of forced. A cacophonic ending works sometimes but I don't think they pulled it off here.
Besides that, it sounded like a top notch coldplay song
I was hoping they would experiment but this is just bland AF
Looks like they will never top Amnesiac
>>64553158
obviously, the high ratings are reserved for oppressed cultural minorities.
>>64553136
I'm getting tired of falsetto unintelligible Thom too. It's like he got his hand on that shit and he's gonna keep running with it.
Calm that shit down man
>>64553024
this is a really great picture of Jonny Greenwood , i met this motherfucker (briefly)
>>64553171
nah those are both excellent. TKOL on is shit though
>>64553159
"Now listen to your father, Radiohead: If you keep this up I'm going to confiscate ALL of your Coldplay albums"
>>64553002
I kinda agree. It just sounds like an orchestrated version of an Atom's for Peace song. Thom's vocals are just uninspired and too safe. I want some more yelling kind of singing from him. It's an underwhelming track and its kinda generic, especially towards the end with the chord changes that sound like they're from a blockbuster superhero film.
It's too short, too formulaic, predictable. It doesn't feel like a Radiohead track to me. I don't know, everything sounds so seperate. Feels empty. Drums sound uninspired. The rythmic section is so boring. There's not really many parts in the song that stand out and make me want to listen to it again.
>>64553135
likely a tranny from a bountywhore
>>64553176
agreed.
never thought I'd see Trumpton in the top trends on Twitter, but there you go
>>64553203
>TKOL on
Their only publicly available post-TKOL material is this song, you sperg. Wait for the album to come out before you call it shit.
>>64553158
>implying p4k is still remotely relevant
>>64553056
But that's the thing, those whole 'removing themselves from the internet' thing has been solely about anticipation, there is no point if this song doesn't lead to something more interesting, because the anticipation and build up they made would've been pointless and they're much smarter than building up to nothing
It's pretty good but we need the guitar to come roaring in. The album better not all be this light.
Gentle reminder that people were up in arms and confused, underwhelmed and running around weirded out when Kid A dropped
What the fuck is with /mu/ man
Whenever a /mu/core artist releases a new song/ep/album it gets way overblown and endlessly praised when its not even really that good and then a week later everyone forgets or realises how shit it is
Why do you guys always do this shit
Not evening memeing this sounds like Coldplay
