Yeah, at least Pablo Honey doesn't bore me to death.

Radiohead just kinda suck in general aside from Kid A and a random song here or there. This will probably be the first album by them I don't even bother listening to.

I won't care




i like the original version of Reckoner but when i heard the in rainbows version, mmmm, no comments.

In Rainbows was awesome..but the songs got boring in the 4th listen. this one will be hopefully better

I just want Radiohead to get really sloppy and violent, musically of course.

^^They won't.

they should just do a cover album of sham 69 songs.

like bodysnatchers but more crazier!

edit: NO. NOT BODYSNATCHERS. the national anthem but up the skronx!

In Rainbows was a beautiful album that required a lot of patience but paid off.

IMO

This would be amazing but they wont do it I bet =(

I liked In Rainbows on the first listen and then never wished to listen to it again. When I did I found it extremely average.
There's only one song I still like: Videotape.

aparently the new album is "noisey and chaotic"

so there you go

Apparently I am a target market.

Radiohead describing their album as "noisey and chaotic" just means there'll be a few more electronic fart noises than usual.

It also has the potential to sound like early Dinosaur Jr and Merzbow combined! Right? ..riiiiight.

I remember hearing some internet mumblings when Radiohead left their label after Hail to the Thief that the band was going to make the next one more commercially unfriendly and more interesting and blah blah blah. Of course, In Rainbows ended up being dullsville, but it made me think... there are times.. moments on records (Kid A and Amnesiac especially)... where you can tell that it's possible Thom and company actually seem to have a good grasp on music that's a bit out there. Perhaps they even have good tastes in music. I'm curious what would happen if Radiohead decided to make a record with absolutely no compromises.

It'd probably still suck.

Radiohead have very good tastes in music, and I'm biased since I love Radiohead in general, but yeah, their "influences" don't really show through too often. I mean the band has cited influenced such as Charles Mingus, Autechre, Kraftwerk, wtf? Radiohead doesn't really sound like any of that.

The first time I heard Idioteque, I thought of Autechre actually. I think I might listen to Kid A later, that album is great.

That reminds me... My favorite Radiohead song is either "Treefingers" or "Hunting Bears". Not just because they don't feature Thom's whiny voice, either.

"Treefingers" I can see, very soothing. "Hunting Bears" is a bit too short and boring. I would honestly love it if the new album was entirely instrumental and they did just dabble in like, IDM, post-rock, jazz. For all I know it would suck, but at least it would be something new.

I dunno what it is about Hunting Bears. That sequence of notes.. the way it's drawn out... the production on it. Everything about it is just amazing to my ears. It is a bit short though.

Radiohead should just do a screamo record.
