Radiohead - LP8

Yeah, I'd have to say these guys have remained a band at the top of their game from OK Computer onward. I think that's the longest any band has gone without once disappointing me. I haven't listened to them for a long while, but that's just because there's been way too much new/old music for me to familiarize myself with in the last couple years. Pretty much anytime I go back to any Radiohead album I'm reassured that yes, indeed it still is as good now as it seemed back then. Jonny Greenwood did an incredible job of the There Will be Blood soundtrack too --it's pretty much what ties the whole thing together, and it's a great film for it.

Jonny's "Is the Controller" is a great comp too.

Yeah, great song. What I love about them, evidenced well here, is that you can tell listening to this how much time they must've spent getting the exact right mix with the exact right smoky guitar and drum sound. Lots of bands would probably be content to just let the composition of a track like this do the talking, considering it's a really effectively done short sad pop song, but I think that's what sets RH apart...attention to details.

Of course, I'm a guitar player so I really nerd out over effectively produced guitar tones, and this was the perfect color of tone for a track like this.

That's the reggae comp right? I never checked that out maybe I should.

Disc 2 of In Rainbows is so under-rated.

yeah, was really hoping that Down Is The New Up wasn't going to be a b-side

I love disc two. Its a pity it didnt come with the digi download at the start.

Incidentally, how much did people pay for In Rainbows? I paid £5 but I bought the cd anyway.

+1

i learned to internets on alt.music.radiohead.

it was really depressing watching it succumb to tubes-rot.

another underrated song

fuck that vocal with the reverb sounds amazing

It's something i will definitely listen, but not that i really want it.

IMO Electioneering is the best Radiohead song

Has this just turned into a "post youre favourite radiohead songs"? Because I could definitely get on board with that.

mine was more of an underappreciated radiohead song that was too good to be b-side

if i'm to post all my favourites it would be too much

The b-sides are always amazing though. I'd nearly say I prefer Com Lag to any of their LP's.

So we're talking b-sides and no one posts "A Reminder"?

Looks real to me. And I have the deluxe In Rainbows that they sold via mail order so I can confirm that there is actually a second disk. Japan always gets bonus stuff (alot of artists do give them second disks) so it makes sense. Nice cover too, better than the normal one.
