I agree with everything except axing Awful Sound and changing the lyrics on Porno.

We Exist, Normal Person, You Already Know, Joan of Arc could all be on their own album together and it would be great.

Afterlife would have been AF's best closer.

I would somehow add specific elements to each song so that they retain some sense of individuality.

Each song on this record is way too similar. They all use the same drum packs and patterns, the same melodies, and the same effects, with some exceptions, of course.

Deletes "pledging my time"

>>73186631
there was this weird stigma in the 60s about putting singles on albums. It's why Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever weren't on Sgt Peppers even though they'd fit perfectly with Penny Lane ending Side A and SFF starting Side B. I think George Martin said leaving those 2 songs off the album was his biggest regret.

Flashforward 15 years to Bowie's Let's Dance and 4/8 songs are singles. Oh well.

>>73186564
Now THIS is one botched surgery, mate.

>>73186774
>deletes backdrifts

>>73186406
This, but scrap the rest as well.

Chance the Rapper's new album was crap.
Justice's latest song was crap.
Arcade Fire's new song was crap.
Gorillaz new album was shit.
Childish Gambino's new album was shit.

I honestly don't think I like any current artists anymore.

the false fade in Gang is brilliant. it's a high moment of the record and is one of the only songs to ever pull it off successfully.

Let's get to the bottom of this
Why Millennials can't take an album as a whole for what it is? Why kids these days need to to delete songs of an album? The youtube era we are living has shortened so much the attention span that even people who "claim" they "like" music can't stand listening a whole album in repeat until they get it?

>>73186774

Didn't Thom make his own version of this where he removed "Punchup," "WSYB," "I Will" and "Backdrifters?" I think it started with There There IIRC.

>>73189448
I'm 33 and prefer albums as a whole because that is what we grew up with.

Millennials born before 1990 can appreciate entire albums because we bought maybe 3-6 albums a month which is usually around 35 - 70 songs. Besides the radio, TV, and our personal collection of albums, that was all we had and we would appreciate songs that were 6/10's since our supply of music was limited.

After the 1999/2000's MP3 revolution, people had the option of any song they wanted to listen to at anytime. Any Millennial born after 1990 never had to pay for music. When you have millions of songs to listen to, why would you want to listen to anything less than a 9/10 song? If you had an all-you-could-eat pass to a restaurant with every food imaginable, would you pass up prime steaks and lobsters to eat meatloaf and pigs feet just to have the "complete experience"?

The same thing has happened to almost all forms of media. Movies, television shows, porn, you name it - the vast resources of free or insanely cheap media has conditioned consumers to only want the best of the best.

I think you actually can make some rough generalizations of Millennials. Obviously they don't apply to everyone though.
>>73189674 is pretty correct -- again, not about all Millennials, but as a rough generalization -- if you look outside small groups who are really in love with and dedicated to music like many people on /mu/.

>>73195061
Removing the Gloaming is indicative of the teeniest tiniest brain in either hemisphere.

>>73194625
I would flip The Sound and Lostmyhead, I kinda like it being right next to Ballad of Me And My Brain considering the subject matter. Also I'd put If I Believe You back on because that's the best song imo. But otherwise I dig this

>>73195105
I like the song but I don't think it fits with the rest of the album, it sounds like a Kid A leftover

>>73195159
In all fairness I think it's much better live, but I think it's a pretty great track in studio.

>>73191094
it might be kanye's worst song. its beyond self parody

Eh, too long, and the sequencing of that would sound awkward. Freestyle 4 and Saint Pablo might just be Kanye's worst songs, and 30 Hours would be better if it was cut by 3 minutes.

4. Sit Down Stand Up
5. Go to Sleep
6. WIEAYB
7. Scatterbrain
8. 2+2=5
9. Backdrifts
10. A Punchup At a Wedding
11. A Wolf at the Door
now it's the third best Radiohead album
>>73195061
Punchup and The Gloaming are the 2 best songs on the album you bingus

>>73194625
I think I improved the tracklist:

Love me
UGH
She's American
Somebody else
If I believe you
Lostmyhead
the ballad of me and my brain
The Sound
This must be my dream
Loving Someone
A change of heart
Paris

She lays down (still a hidden track)

>>73195952
Fucking Ed, what is he like

>>73195845
Honestly this album would actually be a bit better if The Butcher was added before Separator.

>>73197335
Paris works really well as a closer I think
I like this tracklist, I think I'll use this from now on.

For self titled I think the best way to improve it would be to completely change the tracklist and, again, remove the utterly pointless filler and also include some of the B sides like fallingforyou and antichrist which are much better than some of the shit that made it onto the album.

>>73198022
>Literally just replace the whole thing with the In the Basement sessions
This is the worst Radiohead opinion
The Basement sessions are a fun addition that fuck up the tracklisting and take away all of the interesting electronic quirks and just generally reduce their most unique and experimental album to more bloated, slightly interesting alt-rock.

Not surprised the rest of your picks are bad too. If you don't like Hunting Bears then just wait another ten seconds for it to end. And I would even take Somebody's Calling Me over fucking All I Want

1. Replace "BTS / TL" with a version that includes the second introduction to the "The Seer" (the ascending instrumental that begins after the bagpipe drone concludes on the studio version of the song) to introduce Bring The Sun in a better way, similar to what you could find on the live album that preceded To Be Kind
2. Remove "A Little God In My Hands" and "Oxygen", then extend "Just A Little Boy", and "Nathalie Neal".

1. Extend "The Seer" by four minutes.
2. Extend "Avatar" by one minute.
3. Reorder the tracks in the following manner:
Lunacy -> The Apostate -> 93 Ave B Blues -> A Piece Of The Sky -> Mother Of The World (Disc one concludes)
The Wolf -> The Seer -> The Seer Returns -> The Daughter Brings The Water -> Song For A Warrior -> Avatar
(Disc two concludes)

>>73199345
album was ok, kinda worked because listening to the original Dark Side of the Moon after you've heard it enough times is almost exhausting. It's good but it's like... this shit again? Let's move on. Anyway they approached it with a sense of humour and with an awareness that nobody really ever needed to listen to Dark Side of the Moon as many times as the average person has listened to Dark Side of the Moon

9. Luca

Like, I don't understand how they didn't sequence it like that to begin with. Luca leads into Arrows perfectly, Arrows leads into Untitled great as well, and the transition from Untitled to Handcuffs feels totally natural, like they were meant to go together. The final 1/3rd flows so much better like this.

I think your Radiohead opinion is much worse friend.

I like TKoL, but to be a truly great Radiohead record, it needed more warmth and dynamics. The double drumming from the live sessions brings those songs to life- leaving the electronic drum loops as the main percussive force on the actual record was a huge mistake.

This
It fits perfectly in Faust Arp's spot too although I actually like that song

>>73205571
They played it front-to-back on this last tour except they moved Untitled to the very end and imo it worked way better than the original tracklist

>>73207099
The looped drumming is great though, it's what gives the album its unique skitter-y feeling
The double drumming is cool and I do like the live sessions but imo taking away the weird cut-up electronics makes it less interesting and a little more generic as a whole. The only songs to really benefit from it are Bloom and Feral and they're already two of the best songs on the original record anyway.

Also Hunting Bears is literally 2 minutes long, I get not liking it but it always seemed to me to just be kind of a sad interlude before the big finish of Amnesiac. I don't get the hate the same way I don't get the hate for Touched

its so fucking boring, literally nothing happens
the layered "harmonies" in the chorus consist of nothing but Panda talking lazily over himself and for the majority of the verses the sing-one-syllable-at-a-time with the voice echoing every word just sounds dumb.
I love AnCo but I just wish they stopped at Hz.

>Remove Hey Now and She's Electric

With this will be the most consistent album in the history of rock

I love it when albums have little interlude-esque tracks like this. Same with fast arp.

>>73214681
Yeah this
I listen to the single version when I listen to it seperately, but the version on the album fits much better.

Also the live version from Vespertine live is the best version.

>>73213571
I'd abridge ITILMH and reorder the back 5 to:

>Tension Head
>Quick and to the Pointless
>I Think I Lost My Headache
>In The Fade
>Lightning Song

>>73213571
>>73216337
I find I Think I Lost My Headache to be such a great closer. Having it all wrap up on that "into my head it goes" line while the instrumental starts getting crazier and crazier until it's just a chaos of horns is a really nice summation of the drugged out, hazy vibe the album often gives off.

replace Never Had Noone Ever with Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me (recorded after TQID but these aren't exactly realistic) and then get rid of Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

probably the laziest chorus I've ever heard

>>73189448
do you realize that the album surgery thing is a result of deeply caring about the album as a whole, instead of the individual songs?
do you realize what you're doing is just a slightly more verbose version of the "le wrong gereration" argument?
the fuck made you think that kids back in the day always sat out the entire album?
the fuck made you think that people don't do that anymore?
have you ever visited /mu/ before?

Just leave the first 3 Pixies albums as is.

Also, Vamos on Come on Pilgrim is their best song, the Surfer Rosa version is weak.

>cut Cans and Brahms, We Have Heaven, and Five Per Cent For Nothing
>move Mood For a Day to the end of the album

Honestly the short experimental songs aren't that bad but I skip them almost every time I listen to the album.

>>73218523
Honestly, this is how you fix Fragile:

1. Roundabout (it's fine as it is, but perhaps tack on We Have Heaven at the end for consistency's sake)
2. South Side of the Sky (fine as it is)
3. America (I honestly think the album would benefit from this track, but maybe make it a bit shorter so the album isn't too bloated)
4. combine Long Distance Runaround, The Fish, and Mood For a Day into one track but make sure they transition into each other well
4. Heart of the Sunrise (fine as it is)

>>73218740
aaaand I wrote 4 twice. Whatever, you get the idea.
