simonquine Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 That's just be a penny for me then. Liked The Bends but think they went downhill after that, and are really really over-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions are like bumholes, I guess, but Radiohead rule, and you're wrong Even a bad Radiohead album *cough*Hail*cough* is gold compared to most releases. Can't wait for the new one.

thebees Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I really like hail to the thief, you just have to listen carefully to it, it is quite awe inspiring technically. Ignore all these has been bands and move onto some hip tunage with the lovely Simian Mobile Disco, Roisin Murphy & Dubpistols. Not really the same kind of music I'll agree but, Radiohead are fantastic, pay 1p for their album and spend the money you saved on SMD or Roisin (used to be Moloko - current love of my musical life). Regarding SMD, I think the exact phrase I used was "F*** ME THESE GUYS P*** ALL OVER THE CHEMS LIVE!" and I quite like the Chems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsticks Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 That's just be a penny for me then. Liked The Bends but think they went downhill after that, and are really really over-rated. If you think "OK Computer" represents going downhill, then you're a certifiable lunatic. Kid-A I didn't have much time for though, I'll grant you that much. (It's like, Aphex Twin, except not as good and with too much of Thom sounding all miserable as usual.) I really, really hope that Radiohead make wedges of cash out of their new album, bearing in mind that artists usually only get 50p from each retail sale of an album, (yep, pay £16 at HMV, the artist gets 50p, if they're lucky), even if most folks only donate a quid, they'll be well in pocket, and hopefully this will become a viable distribution method for other artists, and the greedy coke-snorting pig-fucking capitalist cunts who have monopolised the music industry will all go bankrupt and commit suicide with a rusty bread knife.

Owen Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Listening to it at the moment. Not their best work, but pretty good.

ai_Droid Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 If you think "OK Computer" represents going downhill, then you're a certifiable lunatic. I think ok computer does represent downhill from the Bends, The Bends is a better album. Downhill from the Bends is basically starting from the top of everest like Kid-A I didn't have much time for though, I'll grant you that much. (It's like, Aphex Twin, except not as good and with too much of Thom sounding all miserable as usual.) Certainly not their best but there's some great stuff on there. I really, really hope that Radiohead make wedges of cash out of their new album, bearing in mind that artists usually only get 50p from each retail sale of an album, (yep, pay £16 at HMV, the artist gets 50p, if they're lucky), even if most folks only donate a quid, they'll be well in pocket, and hopefully this will become a viable distribution method for other artists, and the greedy coke-snorting pig-fucking capitalist cunts who have monopolised the music industry will all go bankrupt and commit suicide with a rusty bread knife. Agreed, although it's a little unfair in radioheads case, they've already made it big. New bands would really struggle to break out in this way and make any real cash. It's also a shame they've released it in 160 cbr with a studio setup that sounds like it was done with 2 c90 cassets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, it looks like being a very tasty package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well, what a suprise this album has turned out to be. On my 3rd listening now, and it is growing each time. "Nude" and "Reckoner" are really standing out for me. *Chopsticks crib notes:- Yes to the guitars and drums. Check out "Bodysnatchers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost tempted to download this to encourage more artists to follow this business model. But, I'm worried it might also encourage Radiohead to make more music.

RC-Drift.com Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I've never really listened to any of their music before but there's a few tracks on this album already growing on me ...not bad for a freebie download (yeah cheapskate I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plectrum Infusion Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Me finally got this today. Me like. Like when they were still good before they got a bit crappy, but having learnt some new stuff along the way as well. I have to confess I pinched it off usenet though, I tried to buy it through the proper site and was presented with numerous stupid registraton and payment screens, which annoyed me, so I gave up. Since it is actually good I'll have to go back and buy it properly. Wouldn't it be easier to just be able to pick an amount and Paypal it over to radiohead@radiohead.com or something?
