The Eraser is legitimately better than The King of Limbs and A Moon Shaped Pool.

It was so weird seeing Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes have an msrp of like, $75.

Finally picked it up when it was put on clearance for the “low” price of $25.

nah not a chance. TKOL's highlights beat out every single track on the eraser, and i'm not even sure how you compare it to something like AMSP

Glad I managed to see them on the KOL tour, now that they're all getting old and less interested in lengthy tours I'm not real interested in driving for eight hours to Chicago to see them especially with the ticketing issues

The 2016/2017 shows were excellent, you'll be missing out son.

Going both nights in Boston here (lower level first night, floor second night), cannot wait. Here's hoping the crowd is respectful on the first night because assigned seating can be a pain in the rear end (I had to tell people to STFU at MSG in 2016 - like, really, you're talking through Climbing up the Walls and Morning Mr Magpie and are about to do the same during Pyramid Song??!! eat a dick).

But yes, gently caress yes Radiohead is gonna be loving awesome this summer.

TKOL, AMSP and TMB have nothing on tracks like these (though they were probably part of the blueprint for those albums tbh):

those are all perfectly decent laptop songs but only The Eraser and Cymbal Rush really hang with the big boys. and AMOK is the dullest of the Thom Yorke spin-off material!

yeah like opinions etc or whatnot but without thom’s voice his solo stuff would be pretty whatever

It’s actually pretty amazing how each member of the band contributes a non-expendable part of the Radiohead sound. Even Ed, who gets the butt of a lot of “what the gently caress does he do” jokes, is pretty much their secret weapon in terms of ethereal sonic texturing.

Most bands you could switch out somebody and very little would notice.

Yeah both of Thom's solo albums I really like, but I wouldn't put them anywhere near any post-The Bends Radiohead album (not least because other than TKOL they're basically not comparable in any way). I think AMOK is much stronger though.

im being a bit too flippant with amok, there’s a couple great tracks and the bass certainly slaps, but so much of it bleeds together, and for some reason i find the other two albums more interesting maybe because it’s just him noodling and finding neat poo poo to do with his voice.

even though tkol is lower tier for me personally every track stands out more memorably in comparison.

Amok is quite good but the title track has the loudest loving wood block sound ever and it make an otherwise-great song completely unlistenable

Earlier it occurred to me how loving dope Up on the Ladder would work if sampled for a hip-hop song. There should be more Radiohead hip-hop mashups. Lots of pure loving gold to be mined that surprisingly hasn't been as much as it seems like it should've been by now.

Was it one of those Vitamin string quartet renditions? They have a poo poo ton of those for all sorts of bands.

What an odd song choice though hahaha

lmao, now there's a thing I haven't heard in several years!

That never worked for me like Rainydayz though. I need solid hip-hop tracks that seamlessly integrate Radiohead samples. I know it can potentially be done, it just isn't for whatever reason.

Someone already linked to a Jaydiohead mashup, but this track specifically uses Up On A Ladder, and probably similarly to how you were thinking: https://youtu.be/mEUdiRTpKfk

No idea why Daily Mail and Staircase didn't make the album—it should have had the same setlist and track order from TKoL: Live from the Basement. Putting Codex and Give Up the Ghost back to back, and not ending the album with Give Up the Ghost, were their biggest mistakes.

Agreed. Short, precise statement albums tend to be my favorites. New Order’s first five albums were only 8-9 songs each, and they’re pretty much perfection in my eyes.

TKOL is probably their Technique.

I prefer From The Basement as far as TKOL goes for listening to (and the live versions in general: Bloom, Feral, Lotus Flower, and Magpie are among their finest live tracks I think) but I think the album itself is perfect as far as being one of the canonical Radiohead LPs. The live versions are a lot more organic and loose than the extremely tightly engineered studio versions, so having perfect reference versions of all the songs on the LP fits the Radiohead style better. It's almost the opposite of A Moon Shaped Pool, where the live versions of the songs tend to sound overly sparse compared to the full sound of the album.

From the Basement is pretty decent, I'd say, but there's a little too much loving around in the background between takes for my liking and the track order just doesn't work for me.


When I saw them live the tracks off TKOL were loud and aggro in a way that neither the album proper or From the Basement are, and it loving owned, but the songs were still tight and didn't meander.


On another note, Burn the Witch was another track that was simply rad live, and a phone camera cannot properly convey the aggression of the song or even simply how red the room was.
