FIRST FOR COLDPLAY RIPOFF
first
>>64554927
>>64554928
actually the OP was first, so...
THIS SONG A SHIT
A SHIT
Was expecting a song way darker given those chords Thom has teased over the years. It gets tense at the end but still. It's a good song. I need the whole album now though.
Disappointing to be honest lads.
>>64554955
fuck off i dont want it anymore !
Come back birder
Next album will be worse than TKOL if this song is on it.
>>64554955
fuck off birder this album a shit

Remember when Radiohead sounded like this? Remember when Thom actually made an effort?
What the fuck happened?
>>64554955
come back birder
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
So is there going to be an album or is this it?
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
Radiohead peaked, thats all there is to it
>>64554978
then why in the fuck are you in this thread? jesus christ
>>64554979
meme magic ruined radiohead
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
>those strings
>THOSE FUCKING STRINGS
>expect it to build up to a crescendo and then go somewhere completely cool and different like trip-hop or medieval chanting
>it doesn't
I r8 it a 7
Yfw it has identikit
>>64555005
Yeah 16 years ago
>>64555012
Ikr? What were they thinking? They've probably been listening to too much coldplay.
>>64554979
The irony here is that Burn the Witch is a song that was written/arranged during the Amnesiac era.
Literally. They were waiting for the opportunity to do an orchestral arrangement before recording it.
>>64555007
BECAUSE THIS IS AMERICA FAGGOT I DO WHAT I WANT
>>64555033
More like 10 my good friend
>>64555036
no, it was HTTT era
So....they tried making Exogenesis lite? Matt Bellamy's probably havin a laff.
Not as good as their older stuff. Cute music video though, reminds me of Postman Pat
>We'll never get another Paranoid Android
>>64555037
kek
another snoozer, should have joined up with Arca like every other geezer.
>>64554955
come back birder
Coldplay
You can always tell what /mu/ really feels about something right when it releases. The initial reaction is what's real. The reaction an hour later is the shitposters noticing that a popular band is doing something and flooding the threads.
>>64554955
come back birder
>>64554966
Lying in the Grass was a low-key track though
[spoiler]People who say Floridada is bad are in denial fuck off[/spoiler]
>>64554955
come back birder
>>64555049
more like in 1997, my friendo
>>64555072
i love radiohead and i think this song a shit
>>64555072
My first reaction was "Coldplay"
>yet another mediocre instrumental with thom wailing incoherently over it
this is not what I ordered, when will jonny be allowed to make tracks again
Last good album to come out of England was
>>64555081
most of pw was good
>>64555022
Tbh this is what I said first time I ever listened to National Anthem
>>64555066
checked
>>64555052
Based off the Trumptonshire series (Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley) from the 1960s
>>64554955
come back more bird also nice dubs
>>64554955
Come back birder
This song could have been on Amok imo
>>64555104
The King of Limbs
>plebs hating on this track
It was great faggots
I wonder how badly Fattano will overrate this pile of garbage.
>>64555072
I love Radiohead but they have clearly lost their magic.
>>64555128
it sounds like Amok + A day in the life desu famalam
>>64555136
it isn't rap so it'll get a 5
>>64555136
Fantano fucking hates Radiohead though.
>>64555136
Strong 4
>>64554929
>Buying into the meat eating meme
Literally looks like two greasy turds with cheese and bacon
>>64555072
Except its not. Not everyone will enjoy everything a band puts out but you can't say that 4chan in general has a lot of contrarians who hate anything new to seem cool.
For those who are feeling underwhelmed: DON'T LISTEN TO THE YOUTUBE VERSION... it's far more compressed and the mix is so much worse that it is actually of determent to the song.
https://mega.nz/#!v9hR2DaC!jQEnsvR6UsIm8CIqo2ypkaJo91G0jgv2GB8mH-7-8bE
Here is a FLAC version for those who are interested.
Thom Yorke is the single most overrated vocalist in music.
His moaning, pointless "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOUUUUUUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOUUUUUUUAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" shit is getting pretty fucking old.
>>64554907
I feel immensely out of place right now because I agree with a lot of the comments and think this is just kinda average. It just lacks any kind of staying power for me - It feels like a filler track.
Shit, I enjoyed Spectre a lot more.
WHY DOES MEW HATE IT
>>64555165
wrong, he said In Rainbows was so beautiful it made him cry
>>64555072
I really liked it. Not shitposting. What's wrong with it?
>>64555175
> muh lossless audio
>>64555135
this, plebs can't with dissonant melodies
>>64555072
People hated Kid A when it dropped. HATED it.
>inb4 shut up Grampaw
>>64555175
oh well now that I've heard it in flac my opinion has been completely reversed thanks anon the magic of lossless files has saved the day
>>64555165
He doesn't tough, he didn't like King of Limbs and don't worship Ok Computer but he like most of their stuff.
Name the last album /mu/ didn't hate on release
Better single than Lotus Flower, AOTY is on its way boys.
>>64555101
Jonny did everything on this song and Thom sounds great
>>64555033
*twirls cane enigmatically, a dark ball of energy forming in the empty hand*
i dont think you know who youre dealing with kid..
>>64555135
This
>>64554955

I'm just disappointed there is no piano on it.
>>64555225
Black Star
>>64555209
LMAO, stay deluded pleb
>>64555225
Bottomless Pit gets more love than hate on /mu/
>>64555225
But /mu/ loves everything on release
>>64555212
Kid A was weird, which is why it received backlash at the start.
This is just boring and average as fuck
>mfw we will never get another album full of inspiration such as Amnesian again
help me solve this pls
>>64555072
that's literally the oppisite, at first everyone is blinded by the hype, I remember when TLOP was released and people said it was a literal perfect album with not a single flaw, a few days latter everyone finally realised how utter shit it was.
what is the song about
>>64555239
THIS. The teasers from 2008 sound so much better than what we actually got. The song is fine but they missed it being truly special if they ran with the piano chords they had a few years ago.
They lost the magic it's ogre
>>64555212
Kid A was quite a drastic change from OKC
This isn't really a big change at all, but rather a continuation of Thom's solo work + TKoL
>>64555259
This man
It was exact fucking same with painting with and deaks ep
>>64555202
Fuck off.
>>64555257
whats r?
its not labelled on the triangle
Damn. What's missing? All of the albums from The Bends to In Rainbows had a quality about them. What happened?
>>64555072
You only know what /mu/ really feels after pitchfork reviews it
>>64555278
radius of the circle inside the triangle
>>64555278
this
BUT WHAT WILL ANTHONY FANTANO THINK?
>>64555278
Radiohead
>>64555209
When the strings melody kicked in around 1:00 I got legit goosebumps, good track. I think the crescendo gives way to an acoustic guitar track, Silent Spring.
>Get ready for a mellow album.
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
>>64555301
7/10
BUT WHAT WILL MARCEL™ THINK?
>>64555123
the video reminded me of the Life on Mars parody of this
>>64555306
I don't know if it's gonna be that mellow if Ful Stop and Identikit are on the album.
why the fuck are people hating on this? it's a very good song
>>64555301
lit/10
>>64555261
Lynchings coming so far everyone shuts up in their group and ignore everybody else's opinions. Really straightforward tbhwufamalam
>>64555347
Why the fuck are people liking this? Its a very shit song
>>64555347
I wish the more intense dissonant section at the end went somewhere rather than just ending the song.
why the fuck are people loving this? it's a very bad song
dont you just hate the feeling when your fav bands release bad material
you slowly watch their fans turn against them
when you see them you silently groan through the new music with everyone else and wait for the old classics
i feel so bad not to like music theyve spent months on and completely believe in
desu id rather they disband
They've got it back. I thought they had lost their spark with TKOL, but this is perfect.
>>64555373
>>64555389
It's shit or bad?
>>64555389
Because people have different opinions
>>64554907
mediocre song
Radiohead imitating themselves
>>64555406
You are shit AND bad
>>64555175
Is this the official version? Shit's mixed way too loud.
IN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VIIIIIIIILLAGEEEEEE

he'll probs be right
>>64555261
Free speech
>>64555212
What the fuck do you know? That's a lie and you were like 5 years old in the year 2000
>>64555301
who cares
>>64555283
Thom's lost it. I don't think people realize or appreciate how much he carried the band with his vocals.
>>64554955
come back birder
>>64555453
>not liking TKOL and HTTT
>>64555283
same thing that happens to most bands as they get old
the song writing is just not there anymore
>>64555399
Its just inevitable man, no band is good forever unless they only had 1 or 2 albums and broke up
Im not mad at them, i love them for giving me so much music that i love, but im not going to lie and say that i like any bad material they put out
>>64555483
HTTT was alright, had some great songs but a lot of misses.
All Radiohead albums before that were near perfect, HTTT isn't.
TKOL was even worse.
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
>>64555500
Burn the Witch was written at least 14 years ago
>delete all your shit from the internet
>people get hyped
>release mediocre garbage
>people think it's great because they're blinded vy le ebin marketing campaign
Literally every Radiohead release after HTTT
>I don't like Burn The Witch
if 55555 get you all listen to opinions one time every week
otherwise shout at me like i'm a foo fighters' fan
>>64555537
Fuck i hate this meme
HTTT was average at best and IR was a return to form for Radiohead
Well fuck I like it.
Orchestral arrangements dope.
Drums and drum machine are dope.
Colin is irrelevant as usual, so dope.
Thom sucks. But he's an old wanker now.
I think TKOL will always be there bottom of the barrel for me.
This album will be a decent comeback.
But I think they're past saving.
>>64555537
>People liked In Rainbows because of their marketing
get out of here
>>64555531
this proves that the material they produce now is worse then then songs they used to reject
ive been hating a lot in this thread but i acc think this song is at least ok
>>64555566
>IR was a return to form for Radiohead
lol
>>64555555
fugg :D
>>64554955
Come back birder

album that contain:
Where i end and You Begin
Wolf at The Door
Scatterbrain
2+2=5
Sit Down Stand Up
There There
I Will
>average
...
>>64554907
Gonna record a cover, will be about an hour though.
this song... it's there, but I feel like it went the wrong way. The cover will be acoustic but more "alternative rock" because Thom has forgotten it.
Great song though. That melody is magic.
>>64555566
In rainbows was boring as fuck
>>64555559
fuck off back to 9 gag you buttrock fetishist
>>64554907
Listening to King of Limbs at the moment, and I honestly don't get the hate. It's like In Rainbows but even dreamier. Bloom, Morning Mr Magpie, Little by Little, Codex Seperator are such top-tier songs.
Very hyped for the next album though, I always loved Amnesiac and this Single reminds me of it alot.
>>64555622
>no sail to the moon
p l e b
Also half the songs on the album are complete misses, sounds like a mediocre album to me
Enjoyed it but thought it could have built to something a bit different. Maybe gone a bit darker. 7/10
>>64555566
IR is literally babbys first Radiohead
HTTT has some of their best songs
get fucked plen
>>64555072
Not true, especially not with Radiohead. Everyone on this board hated tkol when it came out, but now people see how good it is. You'd know that if you'd been here longer than five minutes
reminder that if LITERALLY ANY OTHER BAND had released this song they would have been hailed as geniuses
>>64555656
No OKC is babbys first radiohead
Their time with EMI and Capitol was their best music period. They had one good indie record with In Rainbows and then I think they now need fuel or motivation to bring them back down to earth.
>>64555656
Good criticism.
>>64555678
You literally have this backwards
Enjoying it famalam
>>64555674
> TKOL
> good
>>64555622
>putting in Sit Down Stand Up
>leaving Myxomatosis out
I feel like this song just went nowhere
5.5/10
>>64555715
TKOL is fantastic.
THOM HAS LOST IT
Burn the Witch lyrics:
Stay in the shadows
Cheer at the gallows
This is a round-up
This a low-flying panic attack
Sing a song on the jukebox that goes
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
(intelligible)
Red crosses on wooden doors
If you float, you burn
Loose talk around tables
Abandon all reason
Avoid all eye contact
Do not react
Shoot the messengers
This a low-flying panic attack
Sing the song of sixpence that goes
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
(intelligible)x2
How'd I do /mu/?
I might just be tired of Thom Yorke's voice
>>64555012
I actually liked that part
>>64555722
>hating on "the rain drops" x46 + lasers
bah
>IR is bad
>TKOL is good
Fucking hell /mu/, can you be any more transparently contrarian?
>>64554955

cum on my back birder
Why doesn't he sing more in his lower register
>>64555622

Thank you for mentioning that song, probably my favourite Radiohead song and especially one of my favourite Thom vocals. Never gets enough love imo
sooooooooooo booooooooooooooooring
>>64554955
Come back birder
>>64555752
Is this like an allegory for us losing our free speech
>>64555655
this is the only correct opinion, everything else is shitposting
COM BACK BIRDER
>>64555072
this logic is flawed for multiple reason and im not even gonna try to explain it to you. i dont hate this song but its super underwhelming and i expected more from radiohead.
>>64555778
Because you got all them fucking cellos and colin going, niggabooboo.
>>64555772
In rainbows isn't bad but it's very dull. They played it safe
>>64555777
nice triplets
In Rainbows and TKOL are both great albums.
I really liked this song and the video.
Do you reckon they made it like that so people would make Camberwicker Man puns?
>>64555715
>TKOL
>bad
literally one of their best albums. Amnesiac > tkol > kid a.
I dance like a faggot fairy to lotus flower daily and I am not even a big radiohead fan
>>64555806
you're a faggot, bitch. kys. (No.)
>>64555622
>Not mentioning Backdrifts
>They will never top Kid A
>>64555831
>I am not even a big radiohead fan
It shows by your bad opinion on their music
So TKOL is like the Government Plates of Radiohead - if you see someone hating on it, then you know he's a pleb.
>>64555852
>death grips
>good
>it's a "people act like they actually liked TKOL so they can look like they appreciate music on a much higher level than others" thread
>>64555852
No, if someone likes it they're being a contrarian
>>64555852
U mad, nigga.
>>64555847
I wish they'd make a kid a 2.0

fify
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
>>64555847
They have.
we're never gonna hear another jonny guitar solo are we?
This music is just too...happy. Everything after In Rainbows and their 2009 live show is just too, like, carried away or something.
>>64555852
DG are shit after NLDW anyway
>>64554907
Tbh I liked Spectre a lot more - If the rest of the album were on par with this it would probably rank pretty low for me. I applaud them for trying a new direction but I just think BTW is kinda dull.
>>64555884
B A I T
1st listen it has somehow meh feel to it
4th listen it has grown on me, this is cool
Has anyone in music got an easier job than Ed O'Brien?
I really, really liked it, and I'm a lot smarter than everyone who says they hated it. Those guys are dorks.
>>64555622
>>64555654
>>64555779
>>64555842
>nobody mentions Punchup at a Wedding
How why what
>>64555887
well, thom is happy now, in peace with his demons, that's why his music sucks now
>>64555912
A lot of the great stuff in Radiohead is Ed. He sounds almost exactly like Thom when he sings backup vocals. And he does most of the cool ambient electronic sounds.
>>64555847
word
fucking song is great lads, way better than everything on TKOL
>>64555912
What did he even do on this song?
>>64555912
the dude that plays the guitar on Foo Fighters (not Dave Grohl)
>>64555767
The lasers they should've put on the album are in the solo Jonny started playing live after Go To Sleep in live shows. I tried to find a video of the solo when they played it in what I think was a Talk Show.
>>64555912
Pic related. Then again there's a lot of physical effort in dancing for a couple of hours
Also, has any more info on the album come out yet?
>>64555848
I dont like rock radiohead I like bleep blop radiohead. The bends is as bad as pablo honey in my opinion (both 5/10). OkC is to tame except for paranoid android which is the best radiohead song in their entire discography. Radiohead is best when they experiment with synths and atmospheric sounds. When they try rock they make whiney pop ballads (some exceptions like bangers and mash)
>>64555890
NLDW is a low-point, everything else they made is good, my man
>>64555927
no he doesn't
>>64555852
seems like bait but it's true, desu (t b h)
>>64555865
wew
>>64555952
>NLDW is a low-point,
bad taste
>>64555952
Nah m8
TMS>EXM>NLDW>the rest
Havent heard bottomless pit yet so this may changr but i doubt it
>>64555934
This. I quite like it on repeated lessons. Is this going to be a video album? That seemed like a welcome to our world type intro.
What's their best b side
>>64555911
i was happy with it on my first listen.
I think I'm on my.. 8th?
Still love it.
>>64555622
Also contains Punchup at a Wedding, Backdrifts, WeSuck, Myxomatosis which are weak. Also I'd put Sit Down and Wolf in that categaory, so yeqh average 7 overall.
>>64555948
+1
thats how I listen to RH as well
>>64554955
COME BACK BIRDER
>>64554907
Although it's a grower I'll admit the song is underwhelming as fuck. Clearly it's not OK Computer-tier material, but if the album is anywhere nearly as good as In Rainbows I'll suck it up anyway. And this song is promising, that's really what I thought when I heard it.
>>64555983
but TMS is cringy pop, how can you like it? how can you not like GP?
Wait, do people really think TKOL was better than this? Lotus Flower was a fucking abomination in comparison with this song
>>64555922
The tension with the record company gave them some of the best inspiration. It also gave the music a feeling of accessibility for people that actually deal with reality like going to a job that youre not stoked about.
>>64555288
nice memes, name a site that is more relevant then :)
That's right, you can't.>>64555442
>>64555996
Young Blood is a fantastic Mingus rewrite
>>64555996
>Myxomatosis
>weak
Why can't he just sing a fucking melody? Is that too much to ask of a musician? Jesus Christ what a washed up hack.
let's be honest, it was pretty meh, not bad, just 6/10 meh, still hyped th
>>64554955
Come back birder
>>64555993
I don't know many but Worrywort is great
>>64556007
TMS has good, memorable songs
GP does not
TPTB does not
>>64555996
Well... you think that A Wolf at the Door is weak so your opinions don't matter much
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt7b7UoZxWY
>>64556031
Wouldn't call him a hack hahah but I do think the verse "melody" is the weakest part of the song -- it sounds like he's just singing anything to fit with the chord structure.
Lets's settle this:

>>64556006
admitedly, its gonna be incredibly hard to top OKC/Kid A, but I'm gonna like it. Its gonna take a ton of absolute trash to turn me off of it, considering I really like TKOL.
>>64555943
>what is MDMA?
>>64554955
Come back birder
>>64555655
This sounds more like an expectation rather than criticism, but yeah the score is fine. I'd give it a 8 tbhfamilio
>>64556032
Yeah 6/10 is pretty accurate
Ill still listen to it day 1 like everyone else
What's gonna be the album title? Burn the Witch?
>>64555578
Colin has some good stuff around the 2 minute mark, still in the background but adds some good heaviness
disappointed tbqh
>>64556083
7/10 t b h
Great string arrangements, awesome chorus, forgettable verse melody, stupid drums
>>64556083
We can't rate it yet, Fantano didn't rate it.
I'm not even a big Radiohead fan but I actually really like this track.
RIP radiohead
>1 person gave it a 1/10
someone's salty
>>64555852
>comparing Radiohead with meme grips in any sense whatsoever
Embarrassing.
>>64555996
You only got myxomatosis and wolf in the wrong category, but sadly these two reveal a colossal and poorly conceived level of plebness
>>64556131
That's why you should also do a strawpoll before the reviews come in.
See just how many bandwagoners there are.
>>64554955
come back, birder!
>>64555179
same. i feel like spectre had more emotion to it. more depth
>>64556112
We don't know yet. But it's probably not Burn the Witch or Dawn Chorus
so /mu/ prefers bleeps and bloops head?
>>64556071
>GP does not
maybe you should listen to it again my friend
>You might think...
>Birds
>I'm Overflow
>Big House
>Government plates (the part where the vocals are is godly)
the rest is also p good but not as memorable
>TPTB does not

>>64556112
Dead Air Space
>>64555887
>muh suburban depression
Go touch yourself to American Football faggot.
>>64556171
/mu/ prefers both, neo /mu/ doesn't liek radiohead
What an incredible disappointment. This is going to be worse than the King of Limbs album
My honest opinion is that its a fantastic set up that doesn't really go anywhere. I love the tone, and the video really sends the tone home. Its so cheery and sunny on the surface, while paranoia and anxiety boils under the surface. It's too bad it doesn't go anywhere
7/10
>>64556171
I think Kid A, OKC and IR and this board's top 3.
>>64556188
can't wait to hear it in the context of the album.
>>64556171
Pretty much
>>64555993
Talk Show Host is great
>>64556071
Niggas On the moon is gar and away death grips' best release
>>64556188
this so much, the song doesn't go anywhere that's the problem, besides that is not bad at all
>>64556179
It's like it's not the right kind of happiness. There's happiness thats more realistic and theres happiness like being drunk. This new stuff is like drunk happiness.
Jonny's arrangements are literally the only thing keeping this from being a Coldplay song
>builds crazy hype

Maybe in the album the song will be paired with a followup track that will continue to develop this idea.

Still hope that's the case
Fuck I thought they were going more experimental again
>>64555993
Pretty much all the Amnesiac B-Sides + Big Boots.
>>64556205
This is the exact problem with most of their last album. This is the exact same band that made TKOL, not one bit redevelopment
>>64556188
perfect way to sum it up. i completely agree with this. I hope they bring out the anxiety and paranoia on the next tracks, how the end of BTW was hinting at

HTTT is good, a little bloated but has some great songs.
TKOL is mediocre.
I don't really expect anything but a pleasant, very well produced, and pretty interesting album personally. I do think it will be better than TKOL if the other songs are this level.
TKOL is fucking horrible in my opinion.
>>64556254
I did...but that also mean i'm old...
Radiohead made an extremely calculated effort with TKOL to try and get people to stop expecting them to be revolutionaries every time they put an album out, and there are still people mad that this song didn't beckon in a new era of music
People are fucking stupid, rigid things
this song is pretty good

Yeah. I mean, maybe excluding some of Pablo Honey, I doubt they lack so much artistic judgment that they'd release an album with pure trash. I have a feeling it's going to be good.
sounds like a demo

Anyone honestly expecting Radiohead to top OKC, Kid A, The Bends, Amnesiac, HTT, and In Rainbows at this point in their career is just completely delusional or misinformed
>>64556302
HTTT is more similar, if this song is an indication.

TKOL, although this sounds like the new album is going to be a lot more fleshed out than TKOL. TKOL is pretty skeletal but still has some the bleeps, strings and production that you'd expect of current Radiohead.

>its literally a song about groupthink and the easily swayed masses

>>64556255
agree. Bad choice for a single, concept wise.
But the track does offer a great insight of this new direction their taking.
fuck the more i listen to it the more i like it.
it gets me hyped for the next songs. although i feel like the orchestration at the beginning is very Coldplay-ish and i wish they would have found some other way to begin the song.
Although the discordance that is hinted at towards the end will, I hope, be the redeeming factor on the rest of the album.
Id really like to see them expand on that anxious/tense feeling.
I could make this shit
Fuck Radiohead I'm done, they burned out a long time ago
>>64556336
Yes, I'm trying to appear interesting. Eat a dick, nerd.
If it's the most catchy song on Lp9, we're in for a wild ride...
Burn The Witch is like a poor mans Taking Back Sunday, dont understand the appeal
>>64556295
I mean shit, TKOL is not a TERRIBLE album per se, its (according to /mu/ anyways) a terrible RADIOHEAD album. Compared to Kid Cudi's new album or something along those lines, its a fucking masterpiece.
>>64554907
It¨s a pretty good song, a bit dull, Thom's singing is really good though and i love the ending.
Other than that I hope the album isn't like this all the way through, and I don't expect it to be.
>>64556373
Literally pulled that story of ''an extremely calculated effort with TKOL to try and get people to stop expecting them to be revolutionaries every time they put an album out'' straight out of your ass.

The band released their shortest album ever after a few interviews where they openly decry the "creative hoo-ha" of shutting themselves in the studio to try and release a grand statement of an album, and then did absolutely no marketing or touring for it for almost a year. If you couldn't figure out what the point was, you're dim.
>>64556429
This guy is right, everyone let's stop talking about Radiohead and what they might do for their next album right away
i kind of... like it, i'm not even into thom and the radioheads but i like the tension, still not really hyped
>>64556364
The orchestration has so much more energy than any bland "oh it's pretty cause it's violins" shit Coldplay would pull. There's tension and a pulse to it. In shit like Paradise the violins are just slow, dull chord progressions.

Can I just tell you guys how much I enjoyed this song? RH back to releasing game changing, genre bending music instead of electronic filler like King of Limbs. You can tell how Jonny Greenwood put his soul and guts into this piece of art. It's amazing to be alive in the time of Radiohead releasing new music. Can't wait to hear other artists start to copy the orchestral elements of Burn the Witch and the rest of LP9 only to fail miserably because they don't have two absolute geniuses spearheading the creative process.

You're overreacting.
The thread has been pretty civil compared to any other thread, probably because the lack of Hip-Hop posters.
>>64556293
They already did that with HttT though. Nothing revolutionary about that album- it's like a more conventional, longer version of Amnesiac.
>>64556488
you maybe right, but it doesnt stop me from getting that vibe.
Overall the song is texturally interesting. And i understand how that "cheery" little orchestration can be a deliberate contrast to the message and anxiety behind it.
Just wish it hadn't started that way is all
>>64556432
Thanks friendo
>>64556104
True. But i guess music is all about expectations. Song structure creates expectation. Those expectations don't have to be fulfilled for a track to be good/enjoyable in fact the opposite can often be true. But to me and others the track created an expectation of change of some sort that never happened.
Think it's impossible to disentangle music from expectations. It's an art form that unfolds over time.
Not a fan of this new direction Radiohead have adopted with their music. Really wish they would go back to the way they were in the late nineties with the Bends and Karma Police. That's Radiohead for me.
I hope it's like Lotus Flower and on the album it will be followed up by a Codex and a Give Up the Ghost

To be honest, I was trying to troll but after I wrote it I realized it's how I genuinely feel
Just afraid to admit it because of how much I respect the group, and the artists in the band. I'm just not that into their post In Rainbows output. Actually I really haven't liked them as much since OK Computer, now that I'm older. I used to like Kid A and everything but these days if I want Radiohead I go with The Bends and OK Computer.
They're too fucking miserable and depressing and after a while it gets old. It doesn't work when the singing is so flat and lifeless as it is on this, and TKOL. I'm not buying it, I don't want to listen to it, and since we have access to their older music this shit is completely worthless to me, to be perfectly honest. I'll put it on a few times. It has positive qualities I just don't really want to listen to it.
