gently caress the world and its inhabitants. There was no loving chance of getting tickets in the UK.

Sounds like the Roundhouse shows could be half empty though, seeing as the band just confirmed that IDs will be checked on the door. People will have paid One Thousand English Pounds and will be turned away.

Loved the song but I wish Thom's vocals were pushed to the forefront a bit more. They get a bit drowned out.

So excited for their Roundhouse gig now.

Hey gently caress you.

(Have a lovely time). (You oval office).

Seriously Daydreaming is amazing. If the rest of the album hits this level then gently caress. Also can anyone maybe fill in this idiot about the meaning behind the second half?:

This goes
Beyond me
Beyond you
A white room
By a window
Where the sun comes through
We are just happy to serve
Just happy to serve you

I wonder if tomorrow I'll resent having bought Burn the Witch and Daydreaming twice just so I could have the singles a few days earlier than the album.

What a loving fantastic album. It's everything that TKOL wasn't.

I maintain that TKOL is a fantastic album and I'm really glad that it happened, but I'm also incredibly happy that they seem to be finished with that phase and moved on to this.

The way his voice cracks at 'your tiny house'. :(

Yeah this album doesn't sustain the punch that Burn the Witch starts, and won't be what everyone wanted, but it's god drat beautiful. Like a gentle giant.

Arpeggi is basically a parody of a Radiohead song.

It is their best song.

Top five at least.

Jewmanji posted:

What are your other favorites? Radiohead is truly Beatles-esque in their ability to attract fans who love them for completely different reasons.

Off the top of my head I'd say my top five is:

How to Disappear Completely
Arpeggi
True Love Waits
Backdrifts
Gagging Order

That will change in the morning.

Releasing an album just before summer doesn't make it a summer album. Not one of Radiohead's songs is suitable for a beach.

Gorillaz aren't exactly upbeat either. And their album definitely wont be out this summer.

I find the whole my album > your album stuff tedious but this is hosed. So painfully wrong, everything here.

All the songs he mentioned are great, but none of them match Weird Fishes, House of Cards or Jigsaw either.

All Radiohead songs and albums are cool and good and it's okay for everyone to like them. :unsmith: Except Pablo Honey.

For as long as I've loved True Love Waits, I've been certain he said 'To have your babies', rather than 'To have you be at peace'.

It sounds exactly like that in both versions. I can't hear 'be at peace' no matter how hard I try. They have such different connotations. :ohdear:

A quick scan of lyrics sites has about 70% listing 'be at peace' or 'be at peace'. I assumed that was the accepted fact after looking at them more this week.

Unlike films, individual songs or books, albums can't be too long. If there are tracks you don't want to listen to then don't.

Another art piece dropped today. I hope these are daily because they're loving gorgeous.



The fire one seems to be a companion piece to The Numbers (Stanley Donwood posted this a while back), so if that's the theme I'm guessing this is Glass Eyes.

:unsmith: I'm thinking Desert Island Disk.

I really, really love these. I remember Donwood saying that the album's cover was made at least partially using the weather. I wonder if that's true of the whole series. If so I'd love to see how they were made some day.

My top 10 on iTunes is just Amnesiac. (Not just Radiohead, in general).
