BigFactory posted:I could kinda get behind good songs that don't work when you put them all together. I think that's a fairly common complaint, that it feels more like a collection of unrelated songs, particularly when compared to the previous few albums. Isn't there some sort of alternative tracklisting that Thom suggested?

ICHIBAHN posted:I mind thinking the segue from Exit Music (For a Film) to Let Down was loving brilliant. Just caught me again there. It's amazing. It is great, but my favorite is "Optimistic" to "In Limbo" and then "In Limbo" to "Idioteque".

And now there's this:quote:Update (4/15 8:20 a.m.): Radiohead's camp have issued a statement clarifying Message's relationship to the band. He is "not Radiohead's manager - he is a partner in Courtyard Management but plays no operational role, and therefore any quotes from last night's event, or any supposition arising from them, should not be attributed to Radiohead's management or be seen as official quotes on behalf of the group."

Real Name Grover posted:Goons, what're those strings (particularly at the beginning) reminding me of? I swear I've heard something similar in a Final Fantasy game or somewhere. This isn't what you're thinking of, but it definitely reminds me of the strings in this live version of "Never Stop" by Echo & the Bunnymen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTm5KzBvRqk

Jewmanji posted:I guess I was just thinking of recent releases, like Supercollider, Staircase, The Butcher, The Daily Mail. Not certain on this but weren't all of those released as singles after the album dropped? It seems like the songs they've released as videos before the actual album release, e.g. "Lotus Flower" or "There There", end up being on the album.

CRINDY posted:The moment Bloom kicked in with dual live drummers and you could physically see the sheer craftsmanship that went into the song (and the rest of the album), my opinion on TKOL did a 180. I've got Lotus Flower and Separator in my Radiohead top 10 songs list. Agreed on "Bloom" and I definitely had a new appreciation for "Morning Mr. Magpie", which I completely dismissed on the album, after seeing it live.

Jewmanji posted:So is everyone in agreement that The Numbers basically sounds like an unused song from Sea Change? There's nothing wrong with it per se, but once I noticed that I couldn't stop being bothered by it. It reminds me a lot of a Beatles song, particularly the the end with what sounds like people laughing in the background.

BigFactory posted:Festivals are generally pretty terrible unless you're 20 and love eating drugs in huge crowds. They're fine if that's your thing. I saw them at Lollapalooza and it was overall a frustrating experience largely due to the crowd. I'd love to see New Order, too, but if Coachella crowds are even worse than Lollapalooza then I don't imagine it would be worth it.

Seems a bit odd that they're playing so many arenas whereas they used to be against that entirely and opted for the open air venues. I'm sure time of the year has something to do with it, but still.

Vintersorg posted:gently caress TICKETMASTER!! Yeah, that was one of the worst experiences. You'd think with their years of bullshit service fees they could afford infrastructure that actually worked. I had a phone on LTE and a computer connected to a different network that were both seeing different results in the search, and when I did try to snag something, I'd get stuck in an endless loop of "row change" alerts that led nowhere.

meatpath posted:Well I saw them in 2003 but it was an outdoor arena. I’ve never been to a concert in a sports arena and I hadn’t considered seating vs GA on court level. Sounds like wherever we will be down there will be good, but we still plan on showing up really early. To possibly add to the confusion, my general admission floor tickets had a row and seat number for some reason. From what I understand, those who arrive super early and line up before the gates open are being assigned a number which is used for accessing the arena. If you're not concerned with being right up at the front, you can arrive whenever you want and then just find a spot on the floor.
