I'm listening to The Bends right now!

alyasa 09.27.2007 09:53 PM

It used to be OK Computer, I cried when I first heard Paranoid Android. But now, I can't get Amnesiac out of my head. Googly minoutaurs and grinning bears.

I thought we already had this thread like 3 times

1. Kid A
2. Hail to the Thief
3. Amnesiac
4. The Bends
5. I Might Be Wrong Live
6. Com Lag
7. OK Computer
8. Pablo Honey

yeah, i thought i answered already...torn did the last thread...

anyhoo, ok computer for me because it's the perfect marriage of their songwriting skills and their experimental tendencies, and it's just so emotional, the lyrics kick ass, the arrangements are unfuckingbelievable (because they are pretty much pop but at the same time they are not your typical verse/chorus/verse). plus it's the one that got me into really liking the band and into LOVING them.

that said, most everything they've done is awesome.

and yeah, i have to add that my favorite remix of all time is four tet's version of "scatterbrain".

The Bends sucks, guys! Stop fooling yrselves!!! There's like, three songs that don't suck.

My favourite is Hail to the Theif by far. Next is Kid A and Amnesiac (sometimes it's one, other times it's the other... I love the wicked textural experimentalism of Amnesiac, but a couple of ther songs on Kid A are just mindblowing (How to Disappear Completely, Idioteque... and both albums have some of the greatest enders in history). Next, OK Computer. And finally the Bends... which as I said, sucks. Haven't heard Pablo, but I hear it sucks.
I Might Be Wrong is a fucking excellent album, too. I want to see them live soooo bad... True Love Waits = me in the corner.

i love the bends, pretty much every song is amazing; can you tell me you can listen to fake plastic trees and say it sucks? just? street spirit? high and dry? bones? my iron lung? black star? planet telex? it's all great. just a little more normal then they came to be.

k-krack 09.27.2007 10:57 PM

You named the few I like (Just, Street Spirit, High + Dry, Black Star, Fake Plastic Trees), and as far as I remember, a couple I don't. I kind of oversimplified it. It's a moderately good album. Maybe like, 3/5 good. I just never listen to it anymore.
I much prefer they're less straight-up stuff.

Everyneurotic 09.27.2007 11:00 PM

well, that's different.

k-krack 09.27.2007 11:02 PM

hahaha I know, I just wasn't thinking too hard about ti when I wrote it down. You know how it goes, man.

Everyneurotic 09.27.2007 11:04 PM

yeah, i've done that too.

Back in the early days of the internets, the dial-up era to be specific, Googly Minotaur was my handle. In fact I still use it from time to time on sites that I have a history with.

alyasa 09.27.2007 11:54 PM

I have a friend who has the grinning bears tattooed on his chest. I think I wanna go to fujirock nxt yr with him...

I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that. Though I am interested about these three songs. IMO, the top 3 songs would have to be Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry and Street Spirit. But that means you hate Planet Telex, Just, Black Star, The Bends etc :( I'm sorry that you feel that way about The Bends.

Silent Dan Speaks 09.28.2007 09:40 AM

I like The Bends, but I don't get why people think so highly of it. I think everything they did after it completely destroys it.

king_buzzo 09.28.2007 10:28 AM

no.

Since it is apparent that Kid A is the preferred album amongst us Gossip users (and for good reason), I found this documentary of Radiohead's Kid A era.
