Everything in its Right Place is definitely up there for me, but I think it and Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box kind of cancel eachother out as far as first tracks go. I can't decide which one I like better, so I don't. Also, if I have to pick a low key track from Kid A, it's always going to be "kid a" itself. That song is just amazing to me.

As for morning bell, the fact that there are two different studio versions makes it hard to rank. I prefer the kid a version, but it's not one of my top songs on the album.

Just one of the many recent album releases that make our friend Severian feel ''emotional'' and ''ecstatic'', I suppose.

Not at all. Assuming you're talking about Radiohead? You didn't bother to explain what, you know, the fuck you were talking about so I'm forced to guess.

Whatcha doin' with that comma there, boss?

You're a creepy guy.

I still haven't had a chance to listen to this....only that first single...which was ok. I honestly was expecting something a little more exciting after hearing everyone shouting it's greatness.

The single sucks trust me listen to the record. Sit down when you have the full and undivided 45 minutes and listen to the record as a composition.

I thought you were feeling it more after you heard it in the context of the album.

I certainly did. It's one of my favorites.

I like the new album. what's the biggie? great singing, great dirgy atmospheric instrumental music or air. same old same old amazing muzak you would like to hear. once a year.

it may be too dirgy and I hate the version of Identikit.

I don't know, man. I like it too, but it's strangely uneven to me. And I don't think it's particularly dirgy. Not in the "funeral dirge" sense like "Morninf Bell," or the chain-gang sense like "We Suck Young Blood." At its peak moments I think it's just Radiohead doing Radiohead very very well, but at its more boring moments, it's Radiohead being Radiohead and really pushing the limits of the eternal pass their fans give them on the slow, formless, "Thom plinking away at a keyboard" shit.

I think I've identified my problem with the new version (I will not call it the "final" or "official" version) of "True Love Waits." It's the fact that the vocals are so completely front and center. I'd enjoy this interpretation of the song more if the vocal track took on the kaleidoscopic, ocean of sound feel of the background instrumentation. The vox should be turned down at the very least. Ideally, they'd be tweaked in some way to match the canvas.

Something about the lyrics, sung with such clarity and dominance in such a lazy way, makes me want to hear something else. The song would benefit from a "kid a" style vocal scramble of some kind. Done right, that might even put the thing over the edge for me.

My favorite tracks are still the ones I listed last time. Ful Stop, Decks Dark, Burn the Witch, Identikit, the Numbers and Daydreaming. I can take or leave the rest at this point.

I have a distinct memory of being a little kid and my dad and his brothers grooving on a best-of Eagles album. So things could be worse. (Even though I was 6 years old or so, I believe I asked "What is this pussy bullshit?")
