its really good though give it a chance I love this album a lot

>>70874416
Someone ELSE is bitter.

>>70874425
Ah, alright. We'll see.

It's a bit of a rough ride, after you finish the discography it's probably the first album you should revisit. It's a huge departure from Kid Amnesiac

kys friend

PENETRATION PENETRATION PENETRATION PENETRATION

About halfway through the first track.

>>70874433
And a THIRD bitter person. Wowzers. What's with the sudden hostility?

>>70874432
Noted.

>>70874396
A Wolf at the Door is the best Radiohead song ever.

>>70874407
>goes onto music board
>doesnt like someone is creating threads where they give thoughts about an album

are you fucking retarded my man?

>>70874396
Radiohead fucking sucks. Go listen to something truly challenging. Radiohead are just glorified britpop for ~le deep teenagers

>>70874441
im pretty sure its "pay attention" lmao

>>70874443
why do you feel the need to blog about this? like who the fuck cares? I'm not bitter I'm just curious

Guys sorry, but this album sucks. I regret making this thread. On to the next one.
Also I hope you all don't mind me making these blog threads. My tumblr doesn't have any followers so I figure I'd come here since you all like Radiohead.

>>70874456

And bullshit you're not bitter. If you weren't you would have gone to another thread by now.

>>70874483
See THIS person is not bitter. I like this person.

Pro tip: this and amnesiac are the true patrician choices

All of you faggots better stop pretending to be me. I'm reporting you people if you don't fuck off.

Ok I'm just gonna stop using the OP label since it's causing problems.

I did...not really like the first 2 tracks.

But pic related I'm listening to and really enjoying.

>>70874524
Thanks, matey!

>>70874546
don't worry just yet, tracks 4 & 5 are the best on the album

just finished Sail to the Moon, pretty meh, all of these tracks seem too long...

>>70874566
I don't know what meth you're on, they're about the same lengths as the tracks on the other RH albums.

>>70874488
Nah, I just want to teenagers get the fuck out of my board and go back to redeeit and take your shitty woke britpop band with you.

The last one is me.

Lol I'm such fucking a faggot hahahaha I actually hated all that albums and my favorite band is 21P

Mhmnicetrybuddy.

Just got finished with 'Go To Sleep'

It's pretty good. Can't really say the same for the rest so far.

Only tracks I like so far were Go To Sleep and Sail to the Moon (and so far I'm enjoying pic related)

>>70874712
Not even 2+2=5?
Herbieanon I thought you were better than this.

>>70874712

>Herbieanon I thought you were better than this.
You're pretty much the only one that thinks that.
Everyone else is sick of me.

Relisten to sit down stand up that's by far the best track on HTTT, along with the gloaming and a punchup at a wedding

>>70874734
I'm not even up to those tracks calm your god damn titties.

>>70874734
The whole album is great, I don't get the hate. Literally mi favourite.

This.

op can you do these liveblogs whenever you listen to kanye i would appreciate it thanks

>>70874768
Yeah. Enjoy.

A Wolf at the Door is the best song guys

I feel like you're really going to like In Rainbows

>>70874734
>I'm not even up to those tracks calm your god damn titties

>>70874778
I already listened to all of Kanye's albums...
I can't have 'first impressions' of someone I already listened to.

Also the second half to Young Blood is fucking amazing.

It's one of their more rewarding albums to revisit. It flows really well despite claims to the contrary.

I quite like this record. I'm not a big fan of electronic music so a more tangible rock sound from them was a great.

Their most underrated album by far. They just needed to trim it down to 11-12 tracks.

>>70874978
cool blog
>>70874990
wow sick criticism, very insightful

Just now hitting Myxomatosis

The closer is good.
Album overall wasn't anywhere near as good as the other ones I've listened to.

Maybe a 8 out of 10. Best I can do.
Will probably do In Rainbows tomorrow. Motivation is actually pretty low.

On Hail To The Thief (Capitol, 2003) the most over-rated band of the 1990s seems to have exhausted whatever inspiration had blessed Amnesiac. A few tracks return to rock'n'roll (2+2=5) while others aim for mass appeal (There There (the romantic/tribal U2-esque Where I End And You Begin, the Smiths-ian lullaby Go To Sleep) while others still opt for an introspective mood (the piano-driven Queen-style ballads Sail To the Moon and the yawning We Suck Young Blood), but little justifies the reputation of the band: most of these songs are simply trivial.
The album's only reason to exist are the bits and pieces of arrangements that deform the songs. Unfortunately, Radiohead are above-average Brit-poppers but below-average electronic artists: pedestrian pieces such as Backdrifts can be considered innovative only on albums of pop muzak. The percussive scherzo of Myxomatosis and the neurotic kammerspiel of A Wolf At The Door (which are the highlights of Radiohead's eccentric song format) would hardly be noticed on the albums of really experimental bands such as Mercury Rev or Bardo Pond.
A couple of tracks stand out among the mediocrity. Eerie vocal harmonies and ominous keyboard patterns prepare the orgasmic crescendo of Sit Down Stand Up. The Gloaming fills its instrumental vacuum with skipping beats, muezzin-style cantillation and mourning echoes. The rest is overrated pop.

>>70875156
> closer is good
C'mon Herbie! A Wolf at the Door is THE BEST closer in any Radiohead album.

>>70875179
'good' is understating. I'm in a bad mood right now.

I definitely liked the closer a lot. Will probably listen to the other closers later to compare them.

>>70875156
because of the shitposting or because of Hail to the Thief? either way don't be discouraged, IR is fucking amazing

>>70875175
Go to sleep Mario.

>>70875186
>because of the shitposting
Y. E. S.
This is by far the fucking worst of the Radiohead threads I had.
The others turned out great and this one went to absolute shit. Why? What the hell did I do?

I'm just trying to enjoy myself....

>>70875183
why bad mood? the album is decent

think about the coldplay you can listen to after you suffer through a few more RH albums anon, stay motivated

>>70875208
Sorry these assholes are ruining your threads.

I love Radiohead and I enjoyed them.

Once again, and I cannot stress this enough; listen to every album again, then again, and again. They get better every listen.

>>70875220
See here.
>>70875208

>>70875225
No this is the only thread that got flat out ruined. The others were fantastic (aside from pablo that got nearly no replies because fuck Pablo)

>>70875223
YES! Now THIS motivates me.

>>70875225
>>70875225
>listen to every album again, then again, and again. They get better every listen.
I've always hated this mentality, "dude the album is meh but if you listen to it 50x you'll love it XD"
there is no such thing as a grower album, and HTTT is a 4/10 at best, Radiohead aren't relevant anymore sweety, move on

>>70875251
> sweety
Go to sleep mom.

>>70875156
>Motivation is actually pretty low.
In Rainbows is next up, that should be motivation enough (also Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is their best song)

>>70875251
>there is no such thing as a grower album
So all those times albums got better the more times I listed to them never actually happened?

>>70875277
My motivation is low because some asshole threatened to dox me and constant copycat.

Either way I'm not doing it tonight.

I highly recommend getting some LSD for Kid A or A Moon Shaped Pool.

>>70875278
you only started liking them more because you got subconsciously pressured by outlets that tell you to, I see it happen all the time, nothing to be embarrassed about

>>70875251
>there is no such thing as a grower album

if you keep this mentality you're gonna miss out on a loottttt of fantastic music

>>70875300
For real, I absolutely hated a few albums that have become my favorites.

>>70875287
please :(

OP why are you getting your feelings hurt over a thread lol don't get in a bad mood. I'm not picking on you but jeez it's not a big deal and you have to chill out.
In Rainbows is like a big reset almost, like The Bends 2, then TKOL is like Kid A 2, and AMSP is like Amnesiac 2. At least in my opinion, I just see a lot of similarities between them (poppy, then sort of groundbreaking experimental-y rock, then kind of a subdued combination of electronic and orchestrated instrumentation)

>>70875326
I'm doing it tomorrow when I'm in a better mood.

>>70875318
I've found that the music I hold in the highest regard is usually stuff I didn't like at first. Radiohead, Elliott Smith, Wilco, Bob Dylan, Kanye, Rufus Wainwright, Bon Iver, even David Bowie I didn't like much at first.

You can guess as to what I think of all of them now.

>>70875336
>OP why are you getting your feelings hurt

>threatened several times
>the only one of these threads to go to shit
>fucking doxxing threats

WELL GOLLY GEE I FUCKING WONDER?

...However....

>It's like The Bends 2
That is definitely a motivating factor.
I'm doing the thread tomorrow

>>70875336
I'm just fucking pissed a completely innocent thread got completely ruined by trolls :(

>>70875377
you must be new here

>>70875377
Let's just hope the next one goes better....
This was exhausting.

>>70875365
Getting threatened on an anonymous forum is not a big deal. I don't know how in the world you're getting actual dox threats over this. You shouldn't feel so threatened by inconsequential shit. ignore it

>>70875377
I wish OP would just ignore it, its only ruined because everyone is pivoting to call attention to it

>>70875002
you pissed they're still not making creep-tier songs pleb?

>>70875431
pissed people are still discussing this brit-pop-for edgy-kids on my board

>>70875465
>my board
Put your trip back on unty

>>70875465
what would you like to discuss then?

>>70875501
important acts in this current time, like Anohni, Basinski, Glass, Oneohtrix, Dean Blunt, hell even Johnny Greenwood has admitted that AMSP was a chore to make

>>70875514
>Anohni
Only if it's pre-solo-career Anohni.
