ITT: Songs that ruin a perfect album
Climbing Up The Walls
>>68809502
>Not electioneering
Pleb detected
>No "Fitter Happier"
inb4 'muh concept album'
>>68809555
What's wrong with "Fitter Happier"?
>>68809502
Nigga, climbing is easily one of the best songs in OK Computer.
>not Exit Music
>>68809584
that's like saying karma police is one of the best songs in Kid A
>>68809587
Now this is a shitpost
>>68809580
A robotic voice reciting lyrics for two minutes... nuff said. Completely breaks the atmosphere of the album even though the lyrics are about alienation of the individual in a modern post-industrial society and all that jazz.
>>68809502
The album would be perfectly bad without Climbing Up The Walls.
>>68809584
To be honest
>Le song doesn't fit xd
I don't give a fuck the song is great
>>68809502
That song gives me the spooky vibes down my spine
I love it
Hey, You're Mine
>>68809587
Now that I think about it, can someone tell me what is so special about Exit Music for it to be considered on of the best songs on the album? I mean, its pretty decent, nice fuzz bass and all, though otherwise there is pretty much nothing to it minus the fact that it sounds more like a Muse song than it does one made by Radiohead.
Sex Machine - Stand!
We Will Fall - The Stooges
The Way Young Lovers Do - Astral Weeks
Pretty much anything that's completely out of place.
>>68809608
are you pulling my dick bro?
>>68809502
Pet Sounds - Sloop John B
>>68809662
can you actually imagine OK Computer without that song though
you don't look for it but it's essential
Nick Drake Pink Moon
Know
Touched
Untitled
>>68809662
It's a good break in the album after Karma Police, not the sort of thing you'd listen to with friends but I think the point is you're supposed to listen to it by yourself with headphones on.
I kinda like the boring robot voice sitting in the middle of the mix with all the weird, glitchy noises going on around it. The tracks basically just there to build that eery, foreboding atmosphere which it does pretty well, would've been better if it had been followed up by something a bit more intense than Electioneering though.
Tear
>>68810970
When You Sleep. It's the "Come Together" of Loveless.
>>68811055
But When You Sleep is the best track
>>68809502
>>68810970
>>68810980
those are all great tracks
>>68809502
>>68809543
>>68809555
>>68809587
>>68809662
>>68809688
These are all great tracks and work fine with the rest of the album. The only subpar song is "Let Down," and it's still far from bad.
>>68809543
this
Hunting Beras
Dollars and Cents
Pyramid Song
Pulk
Its the worst Radiohead album desu
>>68811055
Come Together and When You Sleep are great songs you retard
You can probably guess which song I'm gonna say.
real
>>68812100
Those are all great songs though
Hardcore hustle
Would be a Perfect 10 without it
>>68812100
I bet you havent heard it too much. Each time you listen to it its getting better. Imo kid a is worse than amnesiac. Kid A is just a classic because it came out first. If amnesiac was released after ok computer and before kid a under the same circumstances, amnesiac would be recognised as a classic.
Kid A < Amnesiac
>inb4 fuck you pleb
Dopesmoker
>>68811285
holy fuck you better take that back right fucking now
>>68809502
TREEFINGERS
>>68809502
this is a troll
cutw is the best song they've ever made
>>68812700
I don't quite agree, amnesiac doesn't seem anywhere near as cohesive as Kid A. I think if they'd been released the other way round then Amnesiac would be more lauded, but Kid A would then just be seen as an improvement.
>>68812700
fuck you pleb
Amnesiac is just Kid B
>>68812100
You are [spoiler]Correct.[/spoiler]
Though Hunting Bears is comfy.
Pyramid Song is their most overrated song. It's good, but there really isn't much to it.
>>68812642
You spelled "Shadows of Tomorrow" wrong.
Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel
The verses are even really good but God I hate that chorus. Just replace it with something better to match with the verses and you have an absolutely flawless album
>>68810606
i almost second dis
im gonna keep saying this forever
>i love a magician
>>68812917
no he didn't
>>68809543
This. I always thought it sounded like a Stereophonics song.
>>68812100
i agree but pyramid song is listenable. the others you mentioned are just so annoying and such filler. idk what they were thinking,
it has brilliant tracks though, i might be wrong, you and whose army, life in a glasshouse, etc
i want to know your plans
>>68809543
This is the only bad song. Climbing up the walls is arguably one of the best.
>>68809502
>CUTW
>bad
When will this forced meme end?
>>68809662
But did you actually listen to the lyrics? They're great.
>>68815866
>>68809662
Never mind, I just read that you did listen to the lyrics. Sorry, guess that goes to show you have to read the whole comment before posting a response.
I love the rawness of this album, but Here Comes Your Man is just too poppy and annoying for Pixies
>>68809502
Holy fuck were you dropped on your head as a child?
>>68809502
The last song - Valarie.
>>68812917
You spelled "eye" wrong
>>68815946
That's one of the best songs on the album. Also doolittle is pretty poppy in general.
>>68809502
this is not only the best song on this album, but also probably the best radiohead song in general
>>68810606
no
>>68811013
that's the best song on the album, aside from maybe tale of dusty and pistol pete or for martha
>>68811055

treefingers is such a relaxing and comfy song
>>68811285
imagine being this contrarian and edgy?
>>68814046
only correct response in the thread
>>68815946
>not Silver
An Echo, A Stain
>>68809502
>Thinking anything is wrong with OKC
Fucking contrarian
Unreleased BKG's
>>68816372
It Ain't Easy....having a song so shitty on the album.
>>68816435
Not enough to "ruin" it per sey but definitely the weakest on the album. Well done friend.
>>68809502
>have copy of OK computer from childhood
>Climbing Up The Walls is clearly great
>the CD got a little banged up and starts skipping to the point of unplayability right around the big swells/second verse
Flood 1
Lion in a coma and Brother Sport
>>68810980
How can you like all of the other harsh noise blasts and then say Untitled "ruins the album"
>>68818856
this
>>68818440
horrible fucking taste
>>68809543
I will never understand the hate for this one
>>68811285
Take that back you motherfucker
http://www.strawpoll.me/11554115/r
>>68809543
Electioneering is the best song on the entire album next to Subterranean Homesick Alien
what the fuck are you on
>>68819284
>linking the results
Why would I want to see the results before voting
Optimistic
>>68812100
stop it
>>68809555
You missed the point of the entire album
>>68819356
You're literally the only person with this opinion
>>68819480
fUck off, the real answer is treefingers
>>68809502
The fuck. That song is great, switches up the album a bit too-
Invixor B / Phase Inducer
I can do without the single track of extended feedback in most of their albums.
>>68810606
I'm so insulted that song is so great fuck you
>>68812917
second this
>>68811013
you cunt
>>68819802
I'm the only person who doesn't hate fun? Jesus this board is worse than I thought
>>68820337
Fun is not an argument. I have fun slapping my dick on your mother's face but I don't think you would like it.
The answer is either Lucky or The Tourist though
>>68819480
This is correct, but I wish Treefingers was a little shorter too. It's still a 5 for me though.
>>68809543
>>68811344
>>68814664
>>68815805
Holy shit, I knew /mu/ had shit taste, but I didn't think it was this bad
>>68819973
treefingers is the only good song on kid a
>>68818856
i enjoy that album from start to finish.
>>68809502
>perfect album
I don't get it. How can you still have this opinion? How can you not have moved on from this entry level band? Is this your first week on /mu/? Do you just not care? Why are you doing this to me?
>>68820661
lemme guess, you're favourite band is [insert /mu/ flavour of the munt]
>>68820412
Nigga Electioneering is the dullest piece on the whole album by a mile. It's the tamest song in a sea of great tracks, so of course it's going to stick out and be called trash. Why don't you try and defend your shitty taste rather than going for ad hominem attacks.
>>68820793
cuz when I go forwards, you go backwards
so there's no point arguing with a thickheaded guy like you
>>68820821
oy say that to me face ya cunt
>>68820841
I will stop
I will stop at nothing
Say the right things
When shitposting
>>68820881
I oughta open up ur skull m8. Better watch out. Either way you turn I'll be there.
>>68821075
It's life, anon, it's life
It's just business. No need to get mad
>>68812100
Pyramid song is amazing. It's one of those songs that I will likely be humming right before I die.
>>68810606
nah brah
>>68812740
you cheeky
Just end the album at Barbarism begins at Home and suddenly its 10000% better
>>68809502
hey man, if you saw that song live, you'd think differently.
i saw radiohead on the hail to the thief tour and during climbing up the walls, thom yoerk would hold up a big ole radio to the crowd and just shuffle through the fm radio dial at random and holding it up to the microphone so the crowd could hear it through the microphone microphojne
so anyway, the fact that every crowd would hear a different dial through the fm dial was the coooooliest jooliest thing for me.
see that song live, anon. even if it's just on youtube.
>>68822241
>speciesist scum detected
>>68814046
entirely this
True Affection
>>68818856
Weeeew
>not In the Flowers
The three Roger Taylor songs on Queen II, SHA, and ANatO. I wouldn't say ruin, but I wish those songs weren't on those albums.
Interzone
Rock Witch
>Might
>Space Travel is Boring
>>68809502 not electioneering
>>68810970 yes
>>68812100 the fuck?
>>68812500 not compton?
>>68812642 yes
>>68815946 definitely not
>>68816435 yes
>>68819480 I guess so
Elite or else Street Carp
>>68819480
I cant agree with this. Maybe treefingers.
>>68820661
maybe they just like the album
>>68810970
>>68810980
neither of these are bad enough to lessen the perfectness of the album
>>68811013
Annie Dog
>>68815946
La La Love You
>>68818856
Only Lion in a Coma
>>68819480
Treefingers is just pointless, but Idioteque is the one I don't like
>>68825570
How the mother fuck do you not like idioteque?
>>68823753
this
>>68811285
>the only subpar song is the best song on the album
Trash fire of a post.
it's almost like....music is subjective
Spanish Air
>>68811285
I guess you could say that particular song is a "Let Down!"
>>68823321
MPP would be barely a 7/10 without In The Flowers.
The song by itself isn't necessarily a masterpiece but it is the best possible opening this album could have
>>68812642
either that or eye
>>68818440
shit man, it's obviously flood 2, but the album is GOAT so it doesn't matter
Do It Now
Exodus
I thought this about Oh My Fucking God the first time I listened to this album, until I realized it's one of the best songs to listen to when you're fucking pissed.
Just like anything
>>68826742
Fucking fight me
>>68809502
No way OP, Climbing Up The Walls is amazing, Electioneering literally breaks the flow of the album
>>68823753
>>68825882
>not Candidate
>>68823321
how can you be so wrong
>>68825570
how in the hell do you not like Idioteque
>>68812642
agreed
>>68819480
no
>>68823827
>not peek 824
>>68827271
yeah, alright
>>68809502
>>68809543
>>68809555
no
>>68809587
Certainly my least favorite, but still good
>>68810606
pretty much. Part of me wants to say I Know There's an Answer just because it's inferior to Hang On to Your Ego
>>68810970
what the fuck
>>68811055
I actually agree with you Come Together, not because it's bad, but because it's poorly placed right after such a transcendental song.
>>68812100
3 of those are the best songs on the album, so I'm not sure why you posted them
>>68812740
haha wow dude
>>68814046
That's actually a great song. My choice is Girl O'Clock
>>68819480
>all these plebs saying Treefingers
>>68819984
Actually correct, wow
>>68823753
no
Yum-Yab Killers
>>68826651
Bullshit, it's only subjective when people hate the stuffI like
>>68812917
No.
>>68823827
nah fuck you
>>68823124
True
>>68811285
Only song I like from this subpar album lmao
>>68809871
>We Will Fall
that's one of their best songs tho
>>68810980
>>68815946
>>68818856
>>68819480
no
>>68812500
>>68827481
these are true
>>68824236
>ywn end long drive for the first time with just make everyone happy
>Handcuffs
When I'm 64
>>68812419
no-o, say it
>>68812938
What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4)
>>68820012
It's a good song but out of place on the album. Should have been released as a single only.
>>68811055
Literally kill yourself. When You Sleep is the best song on the album
Monster
>>68829019
jay z's verse is so garbage on that song.
>>68819973
>m-muh melody and Thom Yorke's voice
It's a great ambient song you cunt.
>>68829048
Q U E S T I O N
>>68819480
More like The National Anthem
>>68829048
What ruins that song for me Nicki's TRASH verse. It's just so fucking terrible and it completely kills my mood everytime her part comes in
