I've had the fortune of seeing AFP live and it was loving great. A lot smaller of a venue and far more energy than at a Radiohead show, probably as a result of Flea being on stage.Lid posted:I didnt care for TKOL for a long time, it reminded me a lot of Stars of the Lid but worse. Seeing it performed live however gave it some heart it was lacking and showed that especially Bloom is great... it's still not in the discussion for their best album though. TKOL is just like Amnesiac in that every single track that was played in a live form manages to be better than the studio version, except that Amnesiac is the far, far better studio album.

To think this you must not have earballs installed. You'd have to go to Pablo Honey for a Radiohead album that sounds less like this. It sounds like Amnesiac in a number of ways

I can't get over how loving good the choir on Present Tense is

Present Tense might be the best song on the album

ICHIBAHN posted:HTTT is decent but their worst of the post 2000s I think. Though those songs your mentioned are probably the worst in the record. Bizarre choices. That's on you though. TKOL is their worst post-2000 (and honestly, worst outright) for me because it's a "good" album in that the songs were much better represented live (similar to how Amnesiac songs are all better live) except the studio versions lacked the depth and energy that the live performances bring. That said, AMSP owns and is Album of the Year material except for the fact that Blackstar exists. Long term I don't know where it'll sit in my personal rankings, but if it isn't their most cohesive album outright, it's really loving close to being it.

A couple lines of Thom's vocals for Decks Dark reminds me of Massive Attack's Teardrop

ICHIBAHN posted:Anyone else find themselves starting listening to the album from Decks Dark? Actually I do this just about every time for some reason. I don't know if it's because of robodex posted:I tend to skip the first two tracks because I listened to them roughly a million times in the week before the album came out but in a way I think the album is somehow even better when you get rid of the first two tracks even though those tracks themselves are good.

AMSP is much better than TKOL, but TKOL's live renditions are great, much like how the already great Amnesiac studio tracks are even better when performed live.

I got most of the way through the first track of Kendrick's new album and turned it off It'd be funny (?) if this somehow won album of the year (it won't) after the previous Radiohead snubs

It's a very good album that probably won't win many awards but that's okay. I initially regarded AMSP really well but it fell off for me over the last few years since its release. It's a great album but it's something you have to be in a mood for with how slow it generally is. I wouldn't say this album is AMSP 2 either but there are elements that feel more in line with it than anything else. Fortunately it's slightly more upbeat in places to keep it from dragging too much. Martman posted:edit: oh yeah not just AMSP, A Hairdryer sounds very much like a re-imagining of Morning Mr Magpie. Still loving it overall I'm playing it again right now and I can see it. It's probably the backing guitar line doing it.

Album leaked since some copies went out at events. Personally, I think Friend of a Friend is the best track on the whole thing by a wide margin. Need more listens to make a real judgement on whether it's better than their first.

Framboise posted:Yeah I'm really not in love with this one. ALFAA was better but still just doesn't captivate me like the stuff that comes from the whole Radiohead team. I went in the opposite direction with AMSP. At release I had it in my top four-ish which is saying a lot, but after almost eight years I'd probably put it near the bottom. I've not given a full listen to it or TKOL in several years or more at this point. I don't think it's helped that I've kind of burned myself out from listening to them all so much. My first reaction was that ALFAA is better and I might still stand by that when I look at it as a whole. I think that there are at least a couple really fantastic tracks on Wall of Eyes, but ALFAA was just a bit more fun and felt a little more cohesive stylistically. That said, I think both Smile albums are probably well down the tier list of all Radiohead and Thom projects combined. It's all still good music, don't get me wrong, but it could just be the general sound that I'm worn out on.

It's hard to explain why, but AMSP just doesn't really do it for me any more. Again, it's all good music, but I'd rather spin Amnesiac or HTTT if I'm going to play an album of theirs. I'm also the person for whom Amok would probably rank in the top 5-6ish of all RH/Thom side projects though, so take my opinion strictly for what it is. That album kicked amazing amounts of rear end live, and the tickets I bought resale to one of the AfP shows were $13 each for relatively good seats.
