Music you're digging right now

[yahoozy]

In another topic, to be honest, Maudlin of the Well is quite good but I just don't hear them as much as I would listen to Sigur Rós or A Silver Mt. Zion.

...

Also, Japandroids.

No mention of Kid A or Amnesiac? tsk.. those are their best albums

I didn`t realize Pitchfork registered an account on our forums.

But seriously... Kid A is amazing, Amnesiac is leftovers.

>>:[ leftovers!!! ......if anything I like Amnesiac more. Dollars and cents, Pyramid song, Life in a glass house, and You and whose army are better than anything on kid A.

I agree with Slappy here.

But OK Computer is much better than both of those albums.

[SlappyMcGee]

And therin lies the problem. Although Amnesiac has lots of great songs, it really doesn`t come together as an album. I like every `Head album better than it except Pablo Honey. (Hail to the Thief is going unloved here. <3.)

I used to think ok computer was the best. Now I have pretty much all radiohead songs with a playcount of at least 200. The songs from kida and amnesiac are pretty musch the only songs I still listen to now. Those two albums don't sound that great at first but they have a longer lasting appeal. So I guess Ok Computer is better for casual listeners and Kid a and amnesiac are better for the obsessed fans.
Hail to the theif could have been great but it has a few problems - the climax to sit down stand up is way too long. 12 "the raindrops" s would be plenty. Also Backdrifts and punchup at a wedding could have been taken out and used as b-sides. As it is, I think the album is a bit too long

maestro has over 8000 plays for Radiohead and, if I remember correctly, prefers OK Computer. So yeah, you ain't really got the chops to be running your mouth in the way you are.

Personally, The Bends is my favourite with OK Computer as a close second. S'mostly about associative memories for me, though. Associative memories and the fact that The Bends is the best Radiohead album.

Yes, but that's a total of all radiohead songs. I have 102 rh songs Edit: that I listened to 200 times. 102x200 >8000. bam! but anyways, I like okC too, its just nobody was talkin' about kida and amnesiac so I brought it up

You listened to Stop Whispering 200 times?

o_o

That's the only Radiohead song I can't stand.

Regardless, I think the fact that, over almost 9000 listens, OK Computer and The Bends have come out on top disproves your theory that OK Computer is only for casual listeners. You stand largely alone with your Kid A and Amnesiac preference. You can Pitchfork should hang out, though. Maybe drink some coolers. Ride a Vespa. Live in your mom's house.

[SlappyMcGee]

I think his statement is valid, though. Kid A rewards more with relistens, since it is probably their densest album. (As well as one of their top selling. :D)

That being said, dense and rewarding doesn`t necessarily mean better. It`s odd that Tanner is on the opposite side of the argument, here, since he often tells me that I shouldn`t fan-rave about heat-of-the-moment bands because I won`t still be listening to TV on the Radio in a year. (Fuck off, vampireweekend.)

Opinion is opinion, but it does seem strange to call OK Computer something for casual listeners. I would generally interprate 'something for casual listeners' as meaning 'singles + filler', which is so far from the truth it's ridiculous. Where's the filler? Where are the singles?*

As for Kid A versus Amnesiac, I wouldn't call Amnesiac anything dismissive like 'leftovers'. Many tracks (e.g. Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong, Dollars & Cents, Like Spinning Plates) rival anything on Kid A, and the whole album has a generally jazzier feeling which I like. Still, I have to agree with the thrust of SlappyMcGee's post**. Kid A has an amazing hypnotic quality—along with OK Computer, it's more wholly and essentially an album than anything else in Radiohead's catalogue.

And, uh, LordofPeanuts re: Hail to the Thief: Only 12 "the raindrops"? Backdrifts and Punchup as b-sides? No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!

* Paranoid Android, Karma Police, and No Surprises (and Airbag, if you count the fantastic Airbag / How Am I Driving? EP). It was a rhetorical question.

** It's hard to argue with SlappyMcGee's thrusts.

Enjoying a Crowded House revival.

Yeah, I guess its not for casual listeners but I think it is more so than kid a and amnesiac. And as for what i said about hail to the theif, I find myself switching to something else before its done. I think Backdrifts and punchup are the weakest on the album so I wouldn't mind if they weren't on there, but that's just me :/

Anyways, moving on, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is pretty cool. Anyone else like it?

grammatics

I'd recommend starting with 'D.I.L.E.M.M.A', then moving along to 'Shadow Committee', then, if you like, running wild.

what a kick-ass album... you should all check out the songs "lobotomy for dummies", but the whole cd is just plain awesome.

Me, LittleViking001, and Skyling/e form the NMH fanclub. It's one of the best albums of all time. What I've really been digging lately is the way, imo, the album gets less melodic towards the end (from about Oh, Comely onwards) all while at the same time, getting more direct with his imagery.

[T3chno]

Heh. My an old friend gave me On Avery Island by Neutral Milk Hotel, but I never listened to it. Guess I gotta give it a try, huh?

Ghost is my favorite.

my younger brother introduced me to Coolzey today, and i must say that i am enjoying his music a lot. It's pretty damn funky.

[SlappyMcGee]

Not really. Aeroplane is a thousand fold better.

And @ toasters; Ghost is the best song. Man, that beat.

[Donfuy]

Hm, got some new music.

Two albums:

Burning from the Inside, Bauhaus
The Bends, Radiohead


I'm loving both.
