Okay guys, sorry. Radiohead will do what you want next time

I'm a little surprised that so many people seem to be letting a single album ruin their expectations for Radiohead in the future. I don't really think anything since Amnesiac has directly followed the previous release in sense and style, and Amnesiac is really just Kid A: Disc 2, so kinda not since OK Computer.

[Khrz]

Wait, when did "not liking an album" become equivalent to "being a capricious little bitch" ? I missed that memo.
That said, I also missed the one that said that "liking a controversial album" equates to "sucking the band's collective dick", so what do I know...

Whoa, touchy touchy, heh. I thought Botley was being sarcastic. ;)

Face it, guys, this whole "TKoL really sucked" has been beaten to death for two years. We get it, a lot of you don't like it (a lot of ETS people hated In Rainbows, too), you've said so 400 times. And some of us do like it, but you keep telling us that you don't. This is a useless discussion, since Radiohead doesn't seem to give a shit either way.

We all know that Radiohead does whatever the fuck Radiohead wants. They're fucking weird, that's what makes them Radiohead.

[seasonsinthesky]

i don't like about half of TKOL, but it's very exciting to me that the band chose that direction when IR's return to the rock/electronic hybrid could have been a very safe route to stay on and make buttloads of money from. instead, they threw everything out the window, and that ​is why i love this band.

[Khrz]

Whoa, touchy touchy, heh. I thought Botley was being sarcastic. ;)

I got the sarcastic part, guess i misinterpreted the direction of the sarcasm then... My bad !

I get your point, but what's the point in giving an opinion, positive or not, about any album anyway ? One way or an other it gets beaten to death, one way or an other the band doesn't give a damn. Repeating how x album is amazing isn't any more valid in that department than saying it's lackluster...

We're exchanging views a bit more elaborate than "it's great" or "it sucks". I find it interesting to see what the people here liked about an album, or why it didn't grab them.
Well, to me it's why we're on Echoing The Sound, and not on Consequence of Sound...

this exactly this.

Maybe because we've been discussing it for over 3 years? (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/160-Radiohead?p=1360#post1360)

[slurfius]

In rainbows is one of my favorite releases from radiohead. Codex is one of my favorite songs from radiohead. The rest of tkol is meh... I always found it interesting that the 2011 record store day supercollider/butcher and the daily mail/staircase releases from the same year were in my opinion better than the the majority of the album they were probably rejected from

[armogi]

TKOL was fun, it's nice to have diversity in releases and not stick to one genre, Radiohead certainly knows how to do that. I only wished they'd put all these songs together instead of the multiple releases but all in all it was a good era for the band.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

dating myself hard but it took me a while to come around to ok computer after the bends.

I agree, did not care for TKOL but liked "Daily Mail" a lot, the other songs are good too...

Look guys nobody is "beating the topic to death", if you liked the album, that's great you have every right to express it as much as the ones who hated it. I understand both sides and i'm not being disrespectful or "questioning" the bands direction, i wanted to like the album as much as you guys and i heard it with an open mind, i didn't liked it and that's it!, it's just that: an album i don't like; it doesn't mean i hate Radiohead now, just means it's "1" album i do not care for vs all the other "7" i care for...

They have every right to go the way they see fit as a band; a similar case are the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, when "Californication" came out, they changed their musical direction and i did not liked it, i lot of people do and that's great!, it's just not for me anymore, i'm not saying Radiohead is in that league but i can understand if a band does an album that many people love that leaves me indifferent about it, i just can hope i like the next one, that's it...

[Jinsai]

I think King of Limbs is great. It's infinitely more interesting than The Bends.

[Exocet]

Pablo Honey is a great album, the bitchy British music press dissed them loads and called them ugly at the time, because they were not Shoegaze or Britpop sounding, but the album still stands up, and is a solid debut, Stop Whispering is a great track.
I miss Thoms big Blonde hair too.

[henryeatscereal]

I like "Pablo Honey" a lot, never been ashamed to say that...

[botley]

Pablo Honey and The Bends are the aberration, not the 'real' Radiohead. Thom was always really into underground electronic records — he was a DJ at art college — but "On a Friday" lucked into getting an EMI contract as a pop band, so that's the kind of album they turned in. It really is just derivative REM/Smiths/Pixies ripoff stuff. It was that sort of sound which happened to be percolating in the adolescent popular culture at the time & it touched a nerve, so they followed up with a similar album (although more aggressive/defiant and tinged with bitterness at having to play along with the pop star charade — "this is our new song, just like the last one, a total waste of time").

"Vegetable" is good
"Stop Whispering" is okay
"You" is terrific
"Thinking About You" is alright
"Blow Out" is great
"Anyone Can Play Guitar" is meh
"How Do You" is shite
"Ripcord" is fine
"Prove Yourself" is ugh
"Lurgee" is forgettable
"I Can't" is stupid
"Creep"creppcreeondjwojnkgkchqvwyrukgk Zs ob Nxjwjhn ts yfifj b qvab

Good, and I hate The Fragile. Hate it. (And I hate Year Zero, too.) And I have every right to hate The Fragile, and to openly express that hate, and The Fragile Moonies have no right to jump all over my ass about it, trying to convince me why I should love it or how I'm not a "real fan" when for me it's mostly boring filler noodling with a few good songs.

This is, of course, not the place to discuss this, but it's a good example of how one album can cause so much trouble.

Thank you! you got my point perfectly, i do like "The Fragile" but if you didn't liked it that's cool to me, no artist can make an "infalible" album that everyone will "like" (not even Michael Jackson).
Music has to do with many sensibilities and interests, that's why it can be very subjective, as Iggy Pop said: "What sounds to you like a big load of trashy old noise, is in fact the brilliant music of a genius..."

Iggy also said, "I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.” ;) Personally, I'm with Iggy.

To be fair, Thom Yorke has the face any Philip K Dick protagonist should have. So, yeah, marital problems, erectile dysfunction, insomnia, addiction, droning citizen of an evil corporation, flying martian brain overlords, random teleportation into a parallel dimension while you were taking a shower, all are situations in which I picture Thom Yorke perfectly.

Oasis is a shitty fucking band with shitty fucking music that has already been forgotten. i'd kick him in the fucking face for even looking at me wrong. god i hate fucking Oasis

[neorev]

Oasis? You mean that band that wishes they were The Beatles, but suck? That band? Oasis is gone, no one cares anymore. Noel Gallagher's projects all suck. Only good song he did was Teotihuacan for the first X-Files movie soundtrack. But Noel and Oasis are nothing now.

You can't get any more hypocritical than a member of Oasis calling someone overrated! Also he's mates with Chris Martin which has to be a black mark against him.
Anyway I checked Radiohead's average album rating on metacritic and its 78% which is hardly overrated territory. I think they have the perception of being overrated, rather than the actuality - seriously the Arctic Monkeys have the same score as Radiohead, now there's an overrated band (although Noel hates them too)

[Khrz]

Well that doesn't make that particular quote any less true.
I'm not hating on Radiohead, I love most of their albums.

But at this point in their career, they're a way for elitists to engage in the same sort of mindless herd behavior usually reserved for the (ew) vulgar masses.
It's not Radiohead's fault, but they have become the Coldplay of the socially aware, musically savvy, fashionably depressed hipsters (I hate that word, but my vocabulary's failing me).

It's not the band, it's what the name means nowadays. In that sense yeah, I agree with Gallagher.

[fillow]

I didn't particularly like AMOK or Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, although I love pretty much everything by Radiohead and Thom's The Eraser as well. Because I enjoy the music, not because a reviewer told me so. Gallagher can shove it.

[Space Suicide]

Was a good song. I enjoyed it quite a bit. If the next album sounds like that more than King of Limbs I'm game.

[thevoid99]

Oh, this song is fucking beautiful. This should've been the Bond theme. Fuck that mopey wanker Sam Smith.

Haven't viewed the film yet but I'm in love with the music I've heard from it so far.

That Bond tune is also stellar.. it's a shame they didn't use it

[TheyCallMeDrug]

i cant stop listening to spectre. it's bad, my wife hates me

It's beyond me on why they would scrap that. Way better than the one they went with.

I feel like the new album HAS to be coming sometime this week.

[Jinsai]

looks like I'm heading to the Shrine in August.

well good luck... those shows will both probably sell out in less than a second.

[thevoid99]

No Atlanta......

[botley]

They will go out next year too. I hope so anyway...

[Exocet]

Going to try in vein to get tickets to one of the London Roundhouse shows. Its a 2000 capacity venue. Doubt i will succeed.

Ive been listening to Kid A loads in past few months. Such a classic.

[armogi]

I think it's looking really good for outside lands in SF, that's the weekend between the 2 LA shows and it is oddly open on the schedule. Festivals suck but I might go fight the hipsters anyway this year.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

this is gonna be a mess. and no presale?

[Your Name Here]

.................

[Jinsai]

Agreed, it's going to be a BITCH, but I have a few moves I can make. Did you notice the dates August 4th and August 8th??? Something tells me they are going to fill in the blanks like August 5th, 6th, and 7th.

There's probably some festival that hasn't announced that they're playing in that general area... I'm wondering if it's FYF... and if so, god I want a ticket to one of the Shrine shows

Outside Lands?

[TheyCallMeDrug]

outside lands and possibly lolla

[Rdm]

anybody else having problems logging into waste?

[Jinsai]

anybody else having problems logging into waste?

Not since earlier, but why bother logging in now?

[Rdm]

just being paranoid about Presale for the la shows .

[Jinsai]

uhhhh.... what the fuck? Has anyone gotten the "on sale" button?

[cahernandez]

I just got one ticket for night one of Radiohead in Mexico, Floor GA. That was relatively easy! Done in 5 minutes :)

[Rdm]

Fuck my life.. Struck out

[FULLMETAL]

I woke up early to try for NY and was stuck in the virtual queue until it sold out. Tried again for LA & made it through the queue, but got fucked trying to select tickets.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cdr2sDCUsAAk6EU.jpg

I'm not familiar with the Shrine Auditorium, but I'm guessing the waste pre-sale allotment was tiny. Anyhow, AXS is doing the normal sale which doesn't give me a lot of hope.

[imail724]

I woke up early to try for NY and was stuck in the virtual queue until it sold out.
Wait what? I thought tickets didn't go on sale until Friday?!

[TheyCallMeDrug]

so when did the notice about this presale go out?

[FULLMETAL]

Wait what? I thought tickets didn't go on sale until Friday?!

Yes, the general on-sale is Friday. This was a fan club pre-sale.


so when did the notice about this presale go out?

I received an e-mail from w.a.s.t.e. on the 14th.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

very lame, i never got the email although it said both my email addys were signed up.

[Rdm]

Dont worry no one really got tickets. Super limited amounts. on ebay i saw a pair of tickets going for 4 thousand

[WorzelG]

Thom Yorke tweeted that he is as fucked off as everyone else, but what did he think would happen playing 3 nights at a club sized venue like The Roundhouse in the UK?
They could at least have played Brixton Academy for 3 nights which is nearly 5000 capacity. I can understand not wanting to play arenas though

they are playing arenas in the US, NYC's madison square garden had the same issue, with 60% of the tickets up on stubhub already, so it seems. super corrupt.

They haven't been to the US in ages and there's a lack of shows (what is it is...3 or 4 in total?) so I'm not surprised they sold out that quickly. Problem is scalpers. I'm sure there's a few overinflated tickets on eBay if I searched right now.

this was entirely inevitable. there's roughly 1k tickets up on stubhub around 2-3hundred right now for each show and the total with a non-rear stage viewing area is 12k? so about 8%

but i totally understand the feeling, but this is actually better than the pearl jam situation at the garden where they even included all seats behind the stage.

There really should be a law in place to stop this shit. The band should sell the tickets themselves, and include a legally binding contract that the person who buys the ticket will be there attending the show, provide proof of their identity, and that if they try to sell it for more than face value online they owe the band a billion and a half dollars. This should be in the terms of service.

Fuck scalpers and their bots.

This was also the only reason I never regretted my Spiral membership... super easy to get awesome seats the show I bought from there. Have the fan club pay a service fee, give em a free fucking poster and secured access to tickets.

[Jinsai]

or how about this... since it's two tickets, make it so that the person buying the tickets has to declare the names of both ticket holders within 1 hour of buying the ticket, otherwise the tickets go back into the pool and are made available to other buyers. Fuck it, if you're radiohead, require that people submit a scanned image of the drivers license or passport for the primary buyer.

There's ways to do this! Sure, it sounds like a huge hassle, but it's way less of a fucking hassle than what the fans are having to deal with right now. It is straight up fucking disgusting that there's a pair of tickets for one of the LA shows on eBay right now going for $5000. Require prior vetting and registration. To discourage bots, require that people pay 1 dollar to attempt to buy the tickets! Fuck it, make the attempt 10 dollars, and if they don't get tickets, give them ten dollars worth of something scalpers don't want, like an iTunes gift card. I don't know, every idea flooding into my head right now makes more sense than "We're one of the biggest bands in the world, we haven't played live in years, and we're going to play 4 headlining shows in the US, two each in the biggest cities on each coast, in small venues! It'll be awesome! Oh yeah, to discourage scalpers we'll say 'don't do that!' and promise to stop it!"

Love this band, but they're fools right here.

I agree with everything you said, i really like the thought of a binding agreement, a law, because yes it is that serious because they are making money off the backs of the musicians hard work. I cant tell you how many times i have paid like 1000% over face value .

True story- my girlfriend bought me two tickets on a scalper site to see jamie XX in A 250 Capacity venue, she thought she was paying 450 for two tickets, which is insane, but ended to be 450 each and tax and fees were over a thousand dollars. She attempted to get her money back and stated it was her mistake but the company just said no refunds and that was that. its really easy to make a mistake using a paypal credit card.

we also just bought two tickets to father john misty for 300 total. it really is a huge problem. The best example I seen a musician do was the spiral by NIN. I still have that wallet card. LOL

[Jinsai]

or how about something like this? "If you have an At Ease login that originated before 2010, you will have access to a presale of 30% of the tickets? Is it really that hard to do something like that?

"The new album will sound exactly the same as what you've heard before" probably didn't fare as well with the test groups.

That's a bit unfair when talking about Radiohead. As much as the last two albums didn't do much for me, seriously it's one of those bands that actually try to evolve regularly. Might not be up our alley, but they're not the Foo Fighters (which I love, but they're the antithesis of the experimenting sound).
Sure it's not the constant U-turns they made at the end of the 90ies, but each album is a shift from the previous one.

Hmm — The King of Limbs and TKOL RMX 1234567 are streaming now on Tidal. Don't recall those being on any streaming sites before.

Hopefully this means In Rainbows and its companion disc are on the way too.

Pretty sure the social media and website blackouts are in advance of a complete refresh for their announcement of a new album. XL is distributing their Parlophone-era back catalogue now too.

[FernandoDante]

New album at UK dawn?

This would be an opportune time to get Radiohead on HDTracks.

I haven't ever listened to The King Of Limbs, and I've only listened to Amnesiac and Hail To The Thief partially, and haven't heard any b-sides, though I've listened to all the other proper albums.

I've listened to and like The Eraser, but nothing else by Thom solo or Atoms For Peace.

I'm missing out on a lot aren't I?

[r_z]

yes, you are.

[botley]

Kid A is still one of the best albums anybody has done. Really stands the test of time, and a blueprint for all the stuff they've done subsequently.

[R-Dot-Yung]

I must admit, I haven't listened to Radiohead in a while...probably a year. This little stunt they just pulled put them back on my radar and I'm ready to do a deep dive through all my favorite shit of theirs again (which is mostly every album).

[liquidcalm]

popped In Rainbows and King of Limbs on today, really nice, I forgot what an album IR is (and that bonus disc is classy too). KOL has some lovely moments too, but feels a little in the shadow of In Rainbows, still lushy produced and some great high points.

They're probably my favorite proper "band" (in that they have a consistent line up of members who all contribute and it's not just "Trent Reznor and Atticus and friends" or "Whoever Billy Corgan's hanging out with today"). There's so much gorgeous golden stuff. If you do choose to get really into it and give it a dive, you're in for quite the treat.

@Jinsai (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=272) I'm just waiting for them to have the site fade back in slowly to reveal that there are now In Rainbows tour-shirt blankets available

[Jinsai]

I want the site to fade back in with Thom Yorke singing a really melodramatic minor-key rendition of "Never Gonna Give you Up"

[thevoid99]

For me, anything the band did from The Bends to In Rainbows pretty much rivals any kind of run made by the best whether it's the Beatles, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Prince, the Clash, and Pink Floyd has done. I still think they're the best band in the world despite The King of Limbs which didn't do much for me.

I agree

My favorite Radiohead will always be Ok computer, but My favorite song is How to disappear completely

[Jinsai]

I like King of Limbs a lot. It's not my favorite but it's awesome and I don't get the general negative feedback. If some band you'd never heard of put that record out people would be doing backflips

[armogi]

The only issue I see with TKOL was its length and the fact that all these extra songs got released left and right, I simply hate that kind of crap, wouldn't it be too much to ask to have it simply packaged with everything properly sequenced or with a bonus disc a la IR?

[Khrz]

I honestly don't think so. It just wasn't up my alley, it doesn't mean I can't recognize it was possibly a good record, just not something that could keep my attention. Since Radiohead is a band I like and not a band I love, I never have high expectations about their new releases, just a fair amount of curiosity.
It's just that, when their previous releases ticked the right amount of boxes for me, TKOL just missed the marks overall.

I also think that "new bands" have a positive bias, it's "easy" to surprise people, you don't need to reinvent the wheel, or even yourself. Lots of newcomers get praised for doing what's been done before, except older bands are taken for granted. People are just quicker at doing backflips when it's about challengers. So, in my opinion, even if that new band Audiobrain came up with TKOL, that doesn't mean much in terms of quality and innovation. That comparison isn't a fair gauge of how good TKOL is, to me.

staircase and Daily Mail are my favorite tracks from that period, but I like the idea of an album being an isolated work, like a novel. Extra chapters don't necessarily make the book better, and singles collections are usually terrible albums.
Khrz, maybe, and I see your point, but I think king of limbs gets bashed by a lot of people who wanted something else, and it wasn't appreciated for how interesting it was. It didn't scratch the itch for most fans, and so it was met with a lot of backlash. It's odd to be saying this because I'm actually a little pissed at the band for dropping the ball here by squandering the free hype and hysteria they generated... By DELETING their web presence. How many bands would kill to have an opportunity like that, and they just go dark and kind of blow it. It's like burning money in front of beggars.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

TKOL I really really enjoyed. It was one album I didn't raise my expectations very high for, and I think that is what happened with a lot of fans. In Rainbows (And the second disc) were so fantastic. Feral is still one of my favorite Radiohead tracks ever... that's just me though. I love how they always do something very interesting when it comes to their album releases, plus setting the tone for "Pay what you want" for an album. Cannot wait for this to come to light.

[implanted_microchip]

Radiohead is, along with NIN, the only band who could pull this kind of stunt and have my full faith and confidence really. I totally expect whatever it is that they deliver to rock my socks off.

TKoL was a thing of quiet strange beauty IMO and even though it's a cliche to say this about music in general, I never do, and anyone on here knows that, so when I say it I mean it which is that it is, far and away, one of the best albums on drugs I have ever heard. There's a textural approach to it that just fits that frame of mind so well, pot or psychedelics. It's just killer. But regardless of whether you're completely stone-cold sober or under any sort of influence I think it's full of great material. I never had the problems with it a lot of people do, but I don't think it was really made for everyone by any means -- whereas In Rainbows is very much their most accessible record in my mind. It's a perfect blend of their more guitar-rock sound with their weirder experimental side in a way where neither infringes on but instead compliments one another and is an easy way to say to someone new to the band, "Listen to this, tell me your favorite parts and I can recommend from there." TKoL on the other hand is ... it's a little out there, I suppose. They did something strange even for them with it. It's a little out there, but I find it really full of deep natural beauty and sorrow. It elicits so much nature imagery from me, it's beautiful.

Codex is such a beautiful song. Give Up the Ghost is powerful material to my ears. Separator's great. And I love all the B-sides, with The Butcher being a highlight to me. Such a great song.

[thevoid99]

I agree

My favorite Radiohead will always be Ok computer, but My favorite song is How to disappear completely

OK Computer is my 2nd favorite album ever behind the Stone Roses' debut album. I remember the summer when it came out as I was hearing it at a pizza place and wow, it was mind-blowing. I was into Pink Floyd at the time and I thought this beat the shit out of Floyd. I would say that album was my Dark Side of the Moon for me. Everyone at school was talking about electronica, Hanson, KoRn, and all of that shit but Radiohead became the band for me as they helped me during that time when, I'm sure like a lot of us here, were waiting for the next NIN album.

[Dryalex12]

This just building the theory that it's called Dawn Chorus.

I love their non-traditional releases. This is great to me. So much more exciting than a generic "yeah here's the release date here's a single blah" style of doing it yet accomodates hype as opposed to a surprise drop.

also stanley donwood said this album is going be " work of art" is this what he was talking about ?

No, I feel you...it's just that everyone was all 'I'm just confused! What's going on?! Did they really just remove all social media accounts?'

No. It's 2016. They need social media accounts to survive. They did it so articles would be written and people would start talking more about the band before they announced a new album.

[Frozen Beach]

Well, this video is definitely inspired by The Wicker Man

[richardp]

That track is fucking beautiful. Exceeded expectations, for sure.

[FernandoDante]

Alright everyone, I gotta ask something: does anyone have a spare ticket to ANY of their shows this year? It just dawned on me that I may not have the opportunity to see Radiohead live again (I live in Brazil, bands don't always come down here), and I'd be willing to find some cheap flights to get to wherever I have to be for a gig, especially if it's in the US. I know everything is sold out, but I thought that asking here would be better than getting ripped off on stubhub.

So, anyone?

[Kodiak33]

Hmm, cheapest ticket for Lolla is 175 on Stubhub in Chicago. I bet they will have new dates next year too.

[implanted_microchip]

That was so fucking good, mmph. I can't believe we finally got this song (I mean it's been what, ten years they've been teasing it?). Love the violins, love the eerie building of it, adore that freaky little claymation video. I'm so prepared for whatever we get next and I'm really interested in hearing this in context of an album.

[october_midnight]

Video was interesting. Song was alright. Interested to hear how it fits in to the whole album as well.

[Exocet]

I really like the new song. I Love that video. Something very 1970s about it. I didnt like the King of Limbs. They lost me.
But im more excited for the album now than i was.

[Deepvoid]

Love the song. Love the video. Tough to get any more excited for the album.

[implanted_microchip]

I'm kind of hoping we get more of these videos since the ending implies that there could be more. A claymation concept album from Radiohead is something I'm surprisingly really interested in and I never would've guessed it.

Didn't they flat-out confirm that there'd be no other tour dates in 2016? Who knows at this point though. I'm expecting it to just be those dates with a more extensive tour next year after they feel like they've figured it out, like the In Rainbows cycle.

My fear is that there won't be dates next year. Their last tour ended rather abruptly, I'm not sure how into touring they are anymore.

[implanted_microchip]

It definitely feels like between this and Spectre, we'll be getting a very orchestral-heavy album -- which I could not be more all-for. It reminds me a lot of Jonny's scoring material and I'm in love with his film work. I'm really hoping that the whole album is filled with that sound, rather than BTW being an outlier.

They did this with the king of Limbs-Not many tour dates. I really hope they do the two drummer thing again, I really enjoyed that.

I dont understand the video thing though. I'm just happy there is new great music.

[BRoswell]

I'm in love with those plucked strings, and the video is great. (If you don't get the video, check out a film called The Wicker Man. Just make sure you watch the British original, not the Nicholas Cage "NOT THE BEES!" remake.)

I have loved Magpie since I discovered Thom's solo version from that Hail to the Thief era webcast. It's one of my favourites on King of Limbs.

Apparently they were aiming to resurrect a bunch of old tracks for this album. Not that they haven't been doing that since the first album, mind you.

"Burn the Witch" sounds monstrously good through big speakers. I hooked my work laptop up through our main auditorium console and blasted the lossless stream from Tidal. Enormous bass, that synth patch at the beginning is amazing.

I am awaiting the first fan videos borrowing footage with Christopher Lee or even the Thomas the Tank Engine (I still buy toys from that one for the neighbours kids). :D

The video truly is something special since I grew up with this kind of animation. Now combining my childish days with my adult love for eerie music.

Burn The Witch in 24/48, mmmm yes please

[voidnz]

Love this new song and Video. Haven't been a fan of much Radiohead is doing over the last decade or so but this is promising.

[blackholesun]

Burn the Witch is almost a perfect combination of HTTT and In Rainbows. Which means I fucking love it. I'm being hyperbolic, but this really might be the freshest track they've done in ages.

[Frozen Beach]

I'm usually not one to complain about Dynamic Range, and I do think some audiophiles go overboard with complaints, but this track has a DR of 3... That's incredibly disappointing.

[talkingnothing]

so is there a radiohead wiki like there is for ninwiki? can't seem to find anything as awesome as that for them. Does anyone know if this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_recorded_by_Radiohead is pretty close to complete? i have quite a few b-sides of theirs, but i imagine there are lots of non-album things from them that i may not have heard.

I wonder if burn the witch will be on it

[joplinpicasso]

Yeah, I won't be surprised if Thom's breakup with his longtime partner last year has an influence on the album.

I guess I stopped paying attention to the inner lives/personal lives of artists I appreciate a while ago, but I did not know this.

New video is perfect and I only listened to it once as I'll get to hear the full album on Sunday. And Paul Thomas Anderson is the master.

[implanted_microchip]

That song was incredible. Much more my thing than Burn the Witch (and I loved Burn the Witch). PTA + Radiohead is like everything I could possibly ask for, really. Both of these songs are beautiful and haunting and it sounds like Jonny's score work is going to be majorly influential. I can't wait.

[thevoid99]

Wow, that is a fucking great song and... the video..... PT Anderson has done it again. OK, Trent. It's now your move. Call David Fincher and top that.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

this is what movie script ending wishes it coulda been imo

[blackholesun]

Wow.

Dreamers is absolutely stunning. The song evokes some pretty strong imagery and emotions for me and that's without even seeing the paralyzing video. Just...wow. It's been a while since Radiohead was this poignant.

This album is shaping up to be something special. Can't wait to listen to it on Sunday.

Oh my lord I love this band. Have listened to the two preview tracks over and over on repeat. Remind me of deep early 2000s tracks. My younger (by 10 years) brother asked me today "how have they been this good for this long?". 'They don't care about anything except what they wanna do" was my only response.

[botley]

Clive Deamer confirmed on Twitter he'll be at the shows! Will they add a string section, too? That would be really cool, though Ed and Jonny are quite capable of playing most of the arrangements from those very lush recordings all by themselves.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

i hope they dont fuck up identikit...that was personal fav on tours. and true love waits better not get the ambient treatment. a lil dangerous putting a live classic on your new album like that but i'll stay optimistic.

[PhoenixML]

Google fuckup? It's not there anymore!

[poinoup]

Studio version of True Love Waits!

This is a good day.

[Al_Hunter]

Google fuckup? It's not there anymore!

Yeah, same here, it's out there. For some reason True Love Waits refuses to play any more, but that could be some shenanithingamagic thing on the servers' side, I have no idea how Googles work.

[Kodiak33]

It should be on iTunes too now.

[frankie teardrop]

yup, nabbed it off itunes just now because i don't trust their servers to handle the demand. so far, so amazing. <3

[Khrz]

It's also available on their site (http://www.amoonshapedpool.com/) (but there again, the demand might be overwhelming)

MP3 €11.50 EUR
16 BIT WAV €14.00 EUR
24 BIT WAV €16.50 EUR

Okay, 24 bits it is then. :-)

Update: Ordering, payment, download speed, everything flawless. But it does seem digital is NOT part of Vinyl/CD package, but it is in special edition, together with piece of master tape. :-)

Update 2: Actually, download of 857 MB seemed frozen in Firefox, so I paused/resumed it and now it continues... Email with download link appears after order confirmation, and you can use the link 3 times only.

I want to buy the vinyl but an immediate download is not offered. Why ?

[Kodiak33]

This album is really pretty sounding. Glass Eyes is lovely.

[vivisection13]

Downloading now.

Yeah, same with the CD, I'd gladly order it but the lack of digital download bundle is a terrible oversight...

[TheyCallMeDrug]

half way through and beautiful album so far. not too far off from what they were doing on their king of limbs tour which is a-OK with me.

[Piko]

Got it from iTunes (bit of a hassle). Wasn't showing up. Searched by album title and finally found it.

[neorev]

2 bonus tracks with the special edition... damn it! to buy it or not to buy it. wish 24 bit was offered with special edition.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

extremely strong and beautiful album. it really blends the sound of in rainbows with the darker tone of king of limbs. it's leaps and bounds more approachable than king of limbs was at first listen tho imo.

two thumbs up for the amount of strings and piano they used. this deep orchestral layering is impressive.

[Jord]

A Moon Shaped Pool is wonderful.

[implanted_microchip]

I just can't believe I'm hearing a studio version of True Love Waits

[Jinsai]

I got a 16 bit download when I bought special edition box set
Album is absolutely beatiful.

[Ryan]

Can anyone work out what the two bonus tracks are looking at the enlarged image of the second cd?

[botley]

First song is "Spectre", no idea what the second one is. "B Wild"? "8 Word"?

[neorev]

Is it called A Word?

[botley]

Or "A Wind"? Maybe it's something we've never heard before. Somebody suggested "A Word" could be an alternate title for "Cut a Hole".

I have to say, "True Love Waits" was worth the 21-year gestation period.

[Space Suicide]

Just downloaded the album. Gonna give it a spin.

[richardp]

A Moon Shaped Pool is obviously a solid 8/10. Also, that alphabetical track order works really really well. This LP is wonderful.

[henryeatscereal]

I enjoyed it more than i thought i would!
Can't rate it yet, but the album is a good listen, i will be buying!

[botley]

Ordered the vinyl, the foil cover art looks ace and hopefully it will be cut from a more dynamic master than the digital formats :}

Alphabetical track order, interesting.

[BRoswell]

Pretty good album. I'd say the first half is stronger than the second half, but overall I really enjoyed it. The orchestral arrangements are fantastic.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

please please please tour with the London Contemporary Orchestra (they did the strings on the album)

[thevoid99]

As of right now....

1. OK Computer
2. The Bends
3. Kid A
4. In Rainbows
5. A Moon Shaped Pool
6. Amnesiac
7. Hail to the Thief
8. The King of Limbs
9. Pablo Honey

[TheyCallMeDrug]

how can you rate this album compared to others after you've only heard it a handful of listens?

[neorev]

I noticed Radiohead's releases are no longer on Qobuz.com
I do know they're re-releasing their previous albums on vinyl soon, let's hope we get their whole back catalog in 24 bit!
It would be amazing to get the collector's/expanded editions with all of the b-sides/extra tracks for each album in HD lossless.

[blackholesun]

Album is gorgeous and already my favorite since Hail to the Thief (one of my top 3 RH albums). And I really liked In Rainbows and King of Limbs. Premature evaluation of course.
