Radiohead would be so much cooler if I had never heard of Warp Records or Sigur Ros.

Still like it though.

House of Cards is my current favorite, but I like Weird Fishes/Arpeggi too. Bodysnatchers sounds great turned up loud.

Soooo excited about the news on the Sigur Ros front.

Increasing the speed on All I Need by 100% = instant club classic

Interview with Johnny Greewood on pitchfork today re: the album:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/n...-iin-rainbowsi

Interesting discussion of how the tracks formed/were reworked. i haven't yet heard the album (just a few of the tracks from live shows), but he says it more experimental than HTTT, more along the Amnesiac/KidA lines. Agree?

(bit off topic, but i prefer my radiohead experimental to rock. OK Computer is a classic, sure, but even on that LP, the turning point for the band, there are too many rockers that kind of sound dated to me now. Whereas, like it or hate it, Amnesiac still seems fresh.)

Knives Out is probably my fav Radiohead song.

Re: Radiohead, new album "In Rainbows" next week
 

radiohead aren't really my cuppa tea anymore, even tho i liked kid a and some of amnesiac.

that said, in rainbows is good, much better than that hail to the thief dribble... some very nice songs here.

what news is that..?

Re: Radiohead, new album "In Rainbows" next week
 

i know, he fooled me into thinking there was news about sigur ros concerning radiohead, but i think he's just excited about the CD DVD thing soming soon.

Re: Radiohead, new album "In Rainbows" next week
 

I've been informed by someone who's opinion I trust and respect that the sound quality if impeccable.

Re: Radiohead, new album "In Rainbows" next week
 

There seems to be a bit of complaining about sound quality from some. I just downloaded my copy and haven't listened yet myself, but it sounds like the same old same old as far as the complaints go. I find the suspicion of "ulterior motives" regarding the bitrate to be somewhat unlikely given the fact that it's Radiohead we're talking about. More likely just that they're the first to try it and maybe they didn't handle it perfectly. I for one appreciate the original approach they're taking with this digital release.


On my first listen right now, and I have to say that personally, it sucked me in right away. I'm really liking what I'm hearing so far...:D
