The Czech Republic Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=32JUBY9T New song Thom Yorke crapped out for that Warchild thing. It's basically We Suck Young Blood and I Will, with nobody else from the band. It better not be a sign of what's to come.
Guest Temet Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 It's for a compilation for victims of war. I hope you weren't expecting upbeat or anything. Good for what it is, wouldn't read much into it.
k thx Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 It was recorded in 24 hours by one member of the band. I wouldn't read anything into it about the next album.
Matt Young Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Radiohead has very little actual talent. They've recorded maybe 3 decent songs in their entire existence.
Myxamatosis Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Radiohead has very little actual talent. They've recorded maybe 3 decent songs in their entire existence. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow. you can't be serious right?
Giuseppe Zangara Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Matt Young continues to be the worst.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Matt Young continues to be the worst. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You really expected better from a guy who proudly posts pics of things like him posing with cigarettes, booze and rubbers?
KTID Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Radiohead has very little actual talent. They've recorded maybe 3 decent songs in their entire existence. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please stay as far away from the music folder as possible.

Good for what it is, wouldn't read much into it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wasn't expecting upbeat, it's effing Radiohead. I was expecting...not crap? Maybe Jonny and Ed would stop by? I mean, they did "Lucky" for the first Warchild, they could've done better than mate "I Will" with "We Suck Young Blood."
spiny norman Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Hail To The Theif was a pretty awful album. Their only truly great album was The Bends. OK Computer and Kid A are both inconsistent, some good songs in their but some pretentious crap wherein they believed in their own hype too much.
The Czech Republic Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Posted September 13, 2005 HTTT has the best artwork. It's not an awful album, but some songs (I Will, Scatterbrain, Punchup, Backdrifts) kinda have really shitty production. It's good for the album to be dark, but whereas the others sound like they were appropriately recorded in the gloaming, those are just muddy.

I just never liked Radiohead. Czech sent me several of their songs, I didn't like a single one. As far as I'm concerned, they're horrible.
Sideburnious Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 I love Radiohead but got a bit lost with them after Kid A. I just lost interest and hope they return to their old roots with song writing.
PLAGIARISM! Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 If I'd made The Bends and OK Computer I'd exercise my right to do whatever the hell I wanted afterwards. I don't think Radiohead has another classic album left in them, but my opinion never falls below indifference.
The Czech Republic Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Posted September 13, 2005 I just never liked Radiohead. Czech sent me several of their songs, I didn't like a single one. As far as I'm concerned, they're horrible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pretentious, inaccessible, maybe, but horrible? The only thing they have going against them is Thom Yorke's upper register, really. In terms of songwriting and musicianship, they're far from horrible. I avoided them because I figured anyone as hyped as they are couldn't live up to it, but I downloaded National Anthem, Glass House, and Idioteque and I was sold. So whatever. You've gotta at least like The Bends. And also, Thom's foolish dancing on SNL was better than Ashlee's foolish dancing on SNL. Girls who find Thom Yorke to be sexy are weird, by the way.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 He's got a certain nervous charm. I'd do him.
Sideburnious Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Oh yeah I was meaning to ask in another thread. Czech, that is a gleamed up Radiohead in your sig right?
The Czech Republic Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Posted September 13, 2005 Correct. It's from the beginning of the Most Gigantic. . . episodes
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 The Bends is in my top 20 albums, should I make that list. Cephalic Carnage, Frank Zappa, and Miles Davis are also in there, so theoretically that Radiohead album could appeal to anyone.
Annabelle Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 like my good buddy matt, i never understood the fascination with radiohead. i enjoyed ok computer. didn't like the bends. never liked any of the radio songs, either. nothing. maybe its the guys voice? my music taste has no rhyme or reason. so don't analyze. its just the way i feel. it may be the fact that i think thom yorke is a complete nitwit.
Slayer Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 I've never understood the Radiohead love either. I remember way back when I was a freshman in HS and they were "that band that did 'Creep'", then they disappeared off my radar for a long time until the later 90's when I hear people talking about Bends and OKC being the greatest CDs evar (I didn't know those two albums existed until years after their releases). Everytime I try to listen to them though, there's something that fails to click with me, and I go back to whatever I was listening to before. What's really strange is that, as far as I've seen, they're right up there with Tool in terms of the most mainstream underground (or is it most underground mainstream?) band I've ever seen
Sideburnious Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 OK Computer was actually voted best album ever in a U.K poll a couple of months ago. I think it's great but as I said, I got a bit alienated with KID A. So much so that when my house got robbed and it got stolen, I never really cared or noticed it was gone until much later.
Guest Samantha Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 I like a handful of songs but i've also never really understood all the Radiohead loving.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 How could anybody not like The Bends? There's so much different sounding stuff on that album, and it's almost all really good
Edwin MacPhisto Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 I think I've made this argument before, but I believe that most people who complain about Radiohead being pretentious or alienating or shitty or whatever haven't heard The Bends. It's just a bunch of great fucking songs. That's one of those albums that I think anyone who enjoys music can get into very easily.
The Czech Republic Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Posted September 14, 2005 "Talk Show Host" should have been track 5, not "Bones"
