>>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

meme magic ruined radiohead

>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

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.

Lying in the Grass was a low-key track though

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

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

come back more bird also nice dubs

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..

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

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.

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?
>>64555347
>>64555389
>>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

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

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?

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

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

U mad, nigga.

I wish they'd make a kid a 2.0

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

Nah m8

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

>Myxomatosis

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:

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
