This does leave a worrying thought in the back of my mind—with this release, Radiohead have tied up all their loose ends, haven't they? There aren't anymore rarely played, semi-mythical unreleased songs except for, like, their cover of Thief.

I Froze Up and a few others, but yeah, these were definitely the most anticipated when you add them to the drip feed of 'lost' songs we get on the modern albums.

Album's out. Yeah Lift is pretty great. Hope it gets a video too. They're gonna have to play all three of these at Glasto and their next few shows, right? gently caress I wish I was going to Glasto.

It's kinda bizarre hearing an actual studio version to man o war. I remember staying up late in high school going through unreleased songs and early versions of different tracks. I guess no one has to listen to bootlegs any more! unless there's a proper version of eds scary song

I'd be down with them releasing alternate versions of old songs while they're at it. An EP tracking the evolution of True Love Waits over 20 years? Yes, please.

We're definitely getting old versions of Nude, Motion Picture Soundtrack and The National Anthem, at least. That was confirmed by a magazine review this week.

Saw on another site that this is supposedly the cassette tracklist. Take it with a grain of salt: SIDE 1 Let Down (acoustic) [UNKNOWN SONG] Motion Picture Soundtrack (piano acoustic) Climbing Up the Walls (creepy little girl spoken word version) [Karma Police sketches] 2 Fitter 2 Happier No Surprises Please Talk Show Host (early version) SIDE 2 Climbing Up the Walls (trip-hop version) [Paranoid Android sketches] An Airbag Saved My Life Big Ideas (Don't Get Any) demo The National Anthem (early version) But yeah, I'm down with more stuff like this. I'm always fascinated with the song creation process and like seeing how ideas are added, dropped and tweaked. I'm particularly fascinated with Radiohead, simply because a lot of their songs have taken years -- some even decades -- to come to fruition.

The source for that is Record Collector Magazine so it's almost certainly reliable. Also a very reputable trusted atease poster - yes, they do exist, maybe only one though - says s/he's heard it and there's even more poo poo on the tape than the magazine review mentioned and everyone's going to be very happy.

Fatbeats.com has the box set up for pre-order, if you wanted an alternate source to buy it from. I wanted to put it on Paypal Credit to have 6 months to pay it off with no interest, which is something the official site didn't offer but Fatbeats does. I also bought some hip hop poo poo while I was there too, because that's what I do.

Ballz posted:Neither of these songs are really all that different from how they were performed live at the time, and I suspect Lift will be more of the same. As someone who had never heard of Lift until this year, these three songs (Lift, I Promise, Man o War) sound more like The Bends than OK Computer to me.

If you have good headphones, you can definitely tell the difference; there's been some side channel compression and a healthy bass boost. It all sounds a bit more wider, fuller, and crisp. Listening to I Promise and Lift, you can definitely see where they started making The Bends: Even Bendier before veering off into what would become OKC.

Putting out these early near demo versions of the songs almost makes it feel like they are abandoned and never to be actually finished.

Man O'War is good enough to have been a standout among the OK Computer B-Sides. Lift is good enough to have been on The Bends instead of Bullet Proof or something. I Promise is just kind of a dud.

Bishop's Robes was a Bends B-side, not OKC. None of the three new songs are up to snuff really, which is understandable because, you know, they weren't released. But I'm surprised that I Promise wasn't a B-side at least, since it was obviously finished. Unlike Lift, which is so obviously, tragically, a half-hearted demo take... I was never as head-over-heels in love with the song as some fans, but it deserved better than that.

To be fair, it was recorded between The Bends and OKC IIRC with Nigel Godrich, so it was kind of a transitional song, along with Talk Show Host. Some might say it was their transitioning from sucking to owning, but that's another matter.

After a few listens to the whole second disc Man of War is a really, really standout track. It could have easily been part of OKC. Hell, it might not have fit on many of their albums but it's drat worthy of them. I Promise and Lift would both have made fine B sides. Lift would've been at home on The Bends.

Steve2911 posted:After a few listens to the whole second disc Man of War is a really, really standout track. It could have easily been part of OKC. Agreed that it's the strongest of the three new tracks, but on OKC? Seriously? It has none of the themes or textures of that album. I still think there's something a little half-baked about it, anyway. I was never super keen on it, and was happy to leave it in the Bends graveyard... I find the opening riff boring, that three-note progression has been done a trillion times. The production is weird in some way I can't place, perhaps a symptom of it seemingly having been stitched together from old and new recordings? It reminds me of that album of unfinished, unreleased Michael Jackson tracks they stitched together with new stuff five minutes after he died, Frankenstein-style. You can tell there's something uncanny about them. Popcorn fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Jun 25, 2017 |

The Air that I breathe came on the radio yesterday and Radiohead got sued because creep plagiarized it, but it reminded me of a more recent Radiohead song too. I can't place it though, any help?

You can sing the entire "sheeee's running out" section over the verse. They even owned up to it. What's amazing to me is that so many bands, particularly Muse and Coldplay, were derided for supposedly aping Radiohead early in their careers, and yet the fact that what remains Radiohead's biggest ever hit single was so obviously plagiarised they actually got sued is barely known even by fans. Sure enough, regardless of what you think of those bands, Muse and Coldplay had transformed their sounds within a few years, just as Radiohead did.
